yeah it's fair comment; I don't really ever want to tera with Golden Joseph and Focus lets me one bang Iron Treads without tera'ing

//For when quattro formaggio isn't enough// // https://pokepast.es/df1b8980dd8a5c2d // The idea behind this team is obvious. Back in the stone age before we had Kleavor and Samurott and we had to waste a turn to set up hazards, I had a version of this team that was far more ill-fated...

Fair enough :) I can certainly understand that, and imagine surprise factor is much of the reason Stunfisk does so well for me.

Stunfisk @ Leftovers Ability: Static EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe - Stealth Rock - Discharge - Earth Power - Protect 0 Spe allows you to outslow Marowak Alola in TR, Protect catches Mega Medi and Lopunnys who think they can HJK through you (and...

Ah fair, but I think it's important that Hippo can't kill Hawlucha, only phase it out (though admittedly, not as important as I originally thought). Stunfisk also threatens Celesteela and Skarmory (which is really important for my team) which I would count as a small niche too, as generally...

Hippo brings unwanted Sand imo, plus no Discharge/Static for paralysis. I think it's enough of a niche for C-.

Nominating Stunfisk for C-. At first this seems like a bad joke, but this thing is legitimately winning me games in high ladder (I just made 1900, #94 on ladder) by hard countering Koko/Haw cores, beating Mega Lopunny 1v1 and often taking down Mega Medichams. Ground/Electric is amazing typing...

Diancie's job is not to bounce rocks back, lol. That's just a nice bonus. It's job is to dismantle entire OU teams which it does pretty well

I quite like Aero, actually quite a decent offensive check to Zard and isn't trapped by Dugtrio. It has decent utility too and can be a good defogger in a pinch, and can set rocks. It does, however, struggle to break through everything it needs to. It needs Edge to beat Zard, EQ for Pex, FF for...

Interesting thing IMO is that the Rock Polish set can easily beat the Zard/Ttar/Dugtrio core. at +2 obviously he outspeeds all of them and can OHKO duggy and zard, plus can hit Tox hard if he has Earth Power. He is, however, stopped by balance without some sort of CM/Sharpen set or something...

It's not out on Showdown :(

Problem is Banded TTar almost always comes with them, and Chandelure is easily Pursuit trapped.

I don't think you're using Camerupt right. The idea is to come in on something which can't touch it - a volt switch from Koko/Magearna, Tangrowth, Celesteela, Toxapex if you can etc etc, or to use double switches and volt-turn to get Rupt in on stuff it can destroy. Camerupt is pretty good...

I'd support a Jirachi drop. It's best as a defensive check to psychic spam back when Zam/Lele teams were all the rage, but now Psychic spam has settled down. It's still a great Lele and Magearna check, though Magearna can run Never-Ending Nightmare, but the omnipresence of Zard-Y/Dugtrio teams...

Marshadow can also be a great spinblocker on Webs, replacing Mimikyu.
