Someone earlier in this thread mentioned heliolisk as a spec check and semi decent rain abuser. Worth noting that it gets glare if you're feeling lucky. He used it with a seismitoad, though if you don't have a ground type you'd probably be better off with a thundurus t and bolting a blissey on...

Am I stupid or do the tapus not have any tutor moves?

Man, I wish mega blastoise was around to see this.

Ever since USM released its signature z move kommo-o has had usage that was disproportionate to its viability (it was unranked until a few months ago) and it was just sort of a low ladder meme hanging out a few rungs below the OU cutoff for a while, but people higher up on the ladder started...

What set do people run for defensive kommo-o? I thought it was ranked primarily for the z move and belly drum sets.

If you drop the special attack EVs 8 points and move those into speed, you'll outspeed ash gren after a boost. Unless those 8 EVs contribute to some OHKO on something I'm missing, you may as well. Lopunny is totally out of reach for non speed boosting nature kommo-o, however. Great set! Edit: I...

Is there a way to search the showdown teambuilder for pokemon based on what they resist? I remember somebody did that in the SM creative and underrated sets thread to make a non mega camerupt set to stop magearna and koko, but I can't recall the finer points. Thanks in advance.

I know it's not ranked, but I've been having a lot of fun with DD kommo-o + naganadel. Kommo-o is the biggest fairy bait in the known universe, and naganadel sets up all over fairies not named lele, who isn't loving all the heatrans running around. Coincidentally, naganadel is one of the best...

fuck, you beat me to the punch I think we're looking at kommo-o wrong here. The z move, while objectively one of the best in the game (nuke and +1 to everything), might actually be worse for kommo-o than straight up dd. The thing has a solid physical movepool now. Close combat is the real...

Hey, so I entered a casual monotype tournament and picked grass. The problem is that another guy got to reserve a mega before I could, and he picked venu for poison, so I picked sceptile since my other option was abomasnow. Any advice on building a mono grass team without mega venu? Should also...

Where are you getting the life orb from?

They're similar on paper but play very differently. Scept trades long term sweeping potential and defog/web discouraging for fantastic speed, a better movepool, and more immediate power, which lets it OHKO some things like koko. Most of the time I prefer serp, but with the super greninja bros...

HP ice will always be the standard choice, HP fire is the lure option

I'm retarded. Thanks, man.

hey, I think something fucky is going on with the damage calc 252 Atk Krookodile Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Scizor: 58-70 (32.7 - 39.5%) -- 99.8% chance to 3HKO 252 Atk Krookodile Crunch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Scizor: 64-76 (36.1 - 42.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO both moves get STAB and are neutral...
