My Escavalier performs great with an Assault Vest: Uzu (Escavalier) (M) @ Assault Vest Ability: Overcoat EVs: 252 HP / 148 Atk / 108 SDef Adamant Nature - Iron Head - Knock Off - Megahorn - Drill Run Some damage calculations: 252 SpA Life Orb Greninja Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 108 SpD Assault...

I don't think he's fast enough to get off the paralyze in the first place, frankly. There are way too make other poke options that make paraflinch better and I think that ignores Granbull's great utility as a pivot/offensive utility. The few pokes that Granbull could successfully paraflinch, he...

Oh, my Granbull is in no way designed to counter gliscor, just a funny thing that happened. The reason I advocate balloon over leftovers is because it turns a ~3hko from garchomp into a forced switched. Most Garchomp sets only run dragon/ground and are absolutely worthless against a granbull who...

I see him as high RU with a pretty decent offensive movepool/stats and a reliable recovery move. I seem him similar to Miltank with less support options.

This is my Mandibuzz set: Satsuki (Mandibuzz) @ Leftovers Ability: Overcoat EVs: 248 HP / 208 Def / 52 Spd Impish Nature - Knock Off - Roost - Toxic - Foul Play I have a MegaAbsol on my team so I decided to forgo Taunt on Mandi. Replacing it with Toxic made her a lot more anti-wall and I love...

I think this match demonstrated why I love MAbsol so much: a pivot, baton passer, and offensive sweeper all in one. I use the same set as Spiegalmann above, and often use Absol as a lead. I mega first turn but if its something I know I can't win against but will outspeed, I baton pass to scout...

I have been using an Air Balloon Granbull a bit and I'm really loving him this gen. Intimidate Granbull has fantastic bulk/coverage and is a great team player with Heal Bell. He was the star of this match (admittedly the guy didn't make the best predictions) I mean, before this gen I never...

This is a genius set, didn't even think about the dual Dragon/Earth immunity rendering pokes like Garchomp, Haxorus, Salamence,etc. useless. Makes me think of how the metagame will react when a Fairy/Flying type is released. My set is: Granbull @ Leftovers Adamant - 252 HP / 52 Atk / 208 Def -...

Oh, duh! I totally spaced while writing that, I'm sorry.

I think that a stronger focus for Malamar is to boost defense while attacking with Superpower, and I really feel you need a Speed investment with the Assault Vest set. My Malamar is: Malamar @ Assault Vest Ability: Contrary EVs: 40 HP / 212 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature -Superpower -Night Slash...
