Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Azumarill @ Normalium Z
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Knock Off
Offensively, Azumarill threatens the OHKO against both Keldeo and Weavile with Play Rough.
Defensively, its Water/Fairy typing allows it to switch in...
I think there are understandable reasons why the Celesteela runs HP Ice and this is probably one of the them:
( + )
Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 244 HP / 44 Def / 68 SpD / 152 Spe

Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Scald
- Haze
- Recover
- Toxic
Fellow regenerator toxapex simply sits in front of these 2 and toxic stalls them to death.
0 Atk Tangrowth Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Toxapex: 100-118 (33 - 38.9%) -- 7.3%...
Zapdos walls and decimates this team with minimal support.

Magnezone as a counter. (?!?!?!)
Magnezone @ Electrium Z
Modest Nature
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
- Flash Cannon

Magnezone (doesn’t really matter which set) is a reliable switch in for both pyukumuku sets and can beat both easily. This...
Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Jolly Nature
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Dragon Dance
- Crunch
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
As one of HO’s only switchins to AshGren, Gyarados-M doesn’t give Mawile the opportunity to switch in after forcing AshGren out. Intimidate pre-evo also helps...

Timid Nature
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power Rock
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
Moltres would love to come in on Serperior and PP stall Leaf Storm. Serperior can only break through it with consecutive parahaxes. HP Fire is usually used if...
Can someone give me a list of good sets Zygardes are running nowadays? It's just so easy to innovate with it and idk which sets have fallen out of favour and which sets are criminally underrated. There's only so much one can infer from the smogon moveset usage stats.
Magearna @ Fairium Z/Fightinium Z/Electrium Z
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shift Gear
- Fleur Cannon
