Match Up 1) I swap out so slowbro to tank the incoming attack, because salamence cant do much to regirock. Match Up 2) I swap to my sleep absorber (ursaring if its allowed) or my phazer (blastoise) in case he decides to calm mind instead of hypnosis. Do I post 2 matchups now?

I feel like with ancient power, you would pretty much need screech, considering its low base power, and the slim chance of obtaining the boosts. I would have absolutely no idea how to EV an ancient power ttar. I suppose screech, ancientpower, equake, and hp bug could work.

Umbreon is an excellent teammate for celebi, if you like mean look baton pass perish song. Its a lot of fun, but not exactly easy to pull off. You could also mean look then leech seed something to death, if your into that sort of thing. Thank you everyone for the information and opinions about...

Im not arguing that dragon dance is superior, it definently is, however I wasnt sure if a curse tyranitar was viable, since it sill has a great HP and special defense stat. From the looks of things its wont be particularly easy to set up with him, but im going to have to give it a shot, just to...

Those answers make a lot of sense, thank you. My next question is, how effective would a curse, mono attacking tyranitar be in this generation, once the opponents rock resist/tyranitar counter has been removed? The D/P analysis has crunch, rest, sleep talk, and curse, with a specially...

I feel like there is no reason they cannot run rock slide as well as a fire move, specifically salamence, who could forego HP flying or earthquake. At that point its up tot he player what is more important to them, Stab or coverage.

What is wrong with elemence or CB gar? Just curious, because cb gar and subpunch gar both seem like they have significant surprise factor and that alone is enough to snatch a kill, especially on something like tyranitar. I also feel like elemence can be effective, possibly if baton passed a few...

Can I ask when subCune became a thing? Why was suicune with substitute not mentioned in the old analysis? Also, why are Gar and Mence dominating? Which of their sets are the most threatening/effective?

I certainly hope it is, I'm all for diversity and thinking outside of the box. That can often times be what wins a battle.

thats true, he can also explode, which is never a bad thing. However he cant take special his at all, so you would have to play him relatively carefully, definently keep him away from gengar (who is apparently the most common spin blocker).

I dont much play with stall teams, but I could suggest blastoise as a spinner. While hsi HP stat might not be the greatest, especially for a bulky water, he can threaten gengar with Ice beam or hydro pump/surf, still perform his dudties as a bulky water, and because you will be using a cleric...

My teams are usually spikesless as well, and I also make use of rest and use celebi as a cleric, so I can understand weezing as a choice of physical wall and stat up remover.

you are right in that they are both defensive, its just that they tend to check different threats. I honestly cannot tell you about weezing, as I havent yet trained the one I bred, so I dont know what its like to play with him. From what I've read, he is a decent physical wall, however he lacks...

I will, thank you very much for letting me join the group.
