  1. Other Creative / Underrated Sets Thread (Read the thread, NO SHITTY GIMMICKS)

    You're better off leaving killing Donphan/Hippo etc. to Talonflame's teammates, buddy. Plus, who stays in with Ferrothorn on a freaking TALONFLAME? The thing is too powerful, nobody messes around with it.
  2. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    1. Most viable Taunters in OU (Skarmory, Terrakion, etc.) already threaten Chesnaught out, so there's no way it would even be staying in on those guys. 2. Because of Roar and Synthesis, there really is no reason for Chesnaught to run any attacking moves. Chesnaught's primary roles are to take...
  3. Other Creative / Underrated Sets Thread (Read the thread, NO SHITTY GIMMICKS)

    Tornadus-T (M) @ Assault Vest Ability: Regenerator EVs: 252 HP/168 Spe/88 SpDef OR 252 HP/88 Spe/168 SpDef Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Hurricane -Superpower/Focus Blast - Knock Off/Heat Wave - U-turn This is probably my favorite Tornadus-T set there is at the moment. It functions superbly on...
  4. Pokémon Galvantula

    Sticky Web is the sole reason why anyone is using Galvantula in OU, and using it with an Assault Vest is just plain silly. Plus, it's not like Galvantula has any bulk or is planning on taking specs Draco Meteors (or anything for that matter). A standard sash variant is probably by far...
  5. Other Stall

    I've found that Whimsicott is a great contender for Ubers stall. It does its job of annoying your opponent to the point of insanity even better this generation with its new Fairy typing. Priority Taunt, Leech Seed, Protect, Substitute, and Encore makes the perfect arsenal of a stalling star...
  6. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    Seems that this guy can only run a dedicated defensive/utility set to function in OU. Banded/offensive/boosting sets are highly outclassed by other OU Pokes. From my viewpoint, any set with an attacking move is probably gimmicky at best in the current OU metagame. Stick with Roar, Synthesis...
  7. Item Assault Vest

    Tangrowth is definitely a good user of Assault Vest since it can recover HP with Regenerator and function as a great mixed wall. The Malamar set seems a bit gimmicky since its shoddy defenses lack of overall power mean that it probably won't be getting a kill/pulling off a sweep. Rhyperior...
  8. Pokémon Aegislash

    Food for Thought: Kasib Berry w/ Brave and 0 Speed IVs is a pretty good set Aegislash as it allows your Aegislash to stay in shield form and check opposing Aegislash, notably boosted ones (Shield Kasib Aegislash w/ 252 HP can take a +4 LO Blade Aegislash's Shadow Sneak). 100 Defense EVs are...
  9. Item Assault Vest

    I really don't think Tran and TTar are viable AV users since specially defensive Heatran also has the job of checking threats like Talonflame and in order to do this, the passive recovery of lefties is sorely missed. Additionally, defensive Tran's main moves happen to be non attacking ones, so...
  10. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    It seems a bit gimmicky IMO. It looks like all it does is rarely get a kill, get used as death fodder, or become setup fodder for something like SD Chomp. It could be a nice Talonflame lure w/ SE but Assault Vest doesn't look like it does much on this set. PUP looks to be a waste of a moveslot...
  11. Pokémon Bisharp

    Ability: Defiant Nature: Adamant Evs: 252 Atk/132 Spe/ 124 HP Item: Lum Berry/Air Balloon Moveset: Swords Dance Sucker Punch Iron Head Knock Off That's the set I've been using on PO. Speed EVs allow him to outspeed uninvested Rotom-W's, and Lum Berry works surprisingly well with Bisharp. You...
  12. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    Yeah I know, but that's why you either don't switch in on something with Taunt or play around Taunt users. Plus, I honestly see Taunt in only about 1/20 of the teams I face. If you want to, use an attacking move over Spiky Shield. All of the other moves are necessities.
  13. Pokémon Goodra [REVAMP]

    Assault Vest Goodra seems to be some hype sparked initially when youtuber Shofu first showcased it in one of his battles. In reality though, it's not all that great. Half the time all Goodra does is take Volt Switches/Hydro Pumps from uninvested Rotom Washes, and even if you're offensive...
  14. Item Assault Vest

    I've been using this set as a pivot on bulky offense and it does surprisingly well. However, the max speed I would run would be 168/timid nature just to outspeed fully invested base 110s and put the remaining EVs in special def; outspeeding Starmie isn't that big of a deal since standard...
  15. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    IMO, Chesnaught's typing, stats, etc. means that it is outclassed on both the defensive and offensive side for OU. I'm expecting this guy to go UU and fit in comfortably (it checks many sweepers, both physical and special, with its fantastic bulk). Chesnaught's only niche is countering most in...
