Not exactly the most viable pokemon, but it makes its niche through just how hard it counters...
Nominating Steelix as a Counter to Specs Duraludon
Steelix @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Def / 240 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock

Steelix resists both STABS, is immune to Thunderbolt, and can tank any 3 hits Duraludon can throw at it...
RURW3 Eggs, and Rotom-Mow is looking pretty fun.
I like this set, and it's pretty common for rotom sets to only run Volt Swtich and their STAB move. This set doesn't get to use its other strengths, like access to wisp and defog, but those can be easy to build around.
I ended up making two teams during research week, with two different Indeedee sets.
The first team used the set I posted earlier that week. ,
It worked quite well. Combined with webs from vikavolt, this indeedee could easily bluff scarf or specs, and if it got a calm mind up it could easily...
Gurdurr @ Eviolite
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off
- Defog

Gurdurr is an excellent counter to Morpeko, easily switching in and shrugging off all of its attacks. After coming in, it can choose between a guaranteed OHKO with Drain...
I'm using the alt RURW2 Eggs, and also this set:

Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock
- Mystical Fire
- Dazzling Gleam
I like the idea of bluffing a choice item and slapping someone with a coverage move...
I agree on the regenerator ban, Pex wasn't the issue. Since the ban, all of the teams that used it have just swapped it out for Reuniclus, Toxapex Junior, or even Eldegoss, with little to no other changes.
After more gameplay, I think that Toxapex was not the main issue behind FurScales stall, just one of its main offenders. Reuniclus has already taken its place and does most of its job just as well.
A core part of this metagame is carefully planning your switches around so you can time when to...
I haphazardly threw together a meme team and for some reason it works. I peaked at #123 last night, and I love how this team plays.
The point of the team is to get out your wallbreakers and deal absurd amounts of damage with their Pixilate STAB attacks. In Galarian Stunfisk's first ever...
This is my first time playing this meta, and I love it! It's like AAA but more fun and varied. My only issue with it so far is definitely the prominence of FurScales.
I played a couple of games using some fun ideas I slapped together, and immediately noticed FurScales quickly snowballed out of...
