Ban alakazam, even though i've loved to use him pre magic guard, he is too strong now with magic guard, honchkrow which is an extremely common switch in to it can be beaten by using the sub +3 attack. Sableye just shuts down too much stuff, two common ways of breaking walls are through toxic...

I haven't tested it out yet, but a combination of munchlax and sableye got to be ridicoulus hard to break down. Sableye beating any physical attacker except entei and guts ones and munchlax walling the hell out of special attackers + sableye is immune to fighting which munchlax is weak too

I think banning pokemon which can abuse weather is just dumb, because when you ban pokemon which are good under weather, you basicly "ban" weather by making it useless. Rather ban weather effects all togheter or nerf the rocks, both sounds good

I would / trick in with the energy ball/hp rock as its great on choiced sets to screw over walls like munchlax or ferroseed

Same didn't know it was illegal ^^

Rocks are not hard to keep of the field in RU due to lack of solid spin blockers. Porygon - Z is an solid poke though i think the agility LO set is alot more deadly than the choice speccs adaptability set Use a phazer, problem solved.

Yanmega is way too strong in the current metagame in RU, my best way to deal with it is sending in uxie on a safe poke and T-wave and hope yanmega switches in on my uxie. Also Jolly entei outspeeds timid yanmega who can threaten to 0hko with flareblitz, though most players seem to run adamant...

Typhplosion is outclassed by moltres, for example tinted lens choice speccs yanmega will do 85.6 - 101% damage with bug buzz on typhlosion while moltres takes 35-46% damage from the bug buzz so even with rocks up moltres can easily revenge yanmega. Also typhlosion is a 1 trick pony, everyone...

is Flash fire entei released yet?

Thing is that Porygon-Z is alot more frail than yanmega and got alot less switch in oppertunities. Coming from a person who runs both yanmega and Porygon - Z on a team i find yanmega alot easier to switch in, due to 4x fighting resist, ground immunity. Where as porygon -Z gets switched in after...

Alamola is too rare to run an hardcounter gastrodon spread imo. I have seen 1 alomomola the last 100 matches

Been running a dragon claw/toxic/heal bell/roost altaria, though cotton guard is definitly a better choise than DClaw. Only huge threats to altaria will be porygon-z and mixed sharpedo(which i can think off at the top of my head) There arent alot of common steel types apart from ferroseed(as i...

I agree on the part that most of the metagame is around eliminating bugs, i havent saved any logs, but will try to play some games tomorrow and get some logs i could provide. As said it was a team i put quick togheter recently and i havent gotten alot of practice with the team, so might just...

Shedinja might be something to consider(shadow sneak/x-scizzor/swords dance/toxic or will-o-wisp), i made a quick team and ran it to top 100 with barely any losses, switch it into pokes who cant do anything to it and deal statuses on the switch. Clean up the enemy pokes until he got nothing that...

I will give manectric a shot, as ferroseed is a really common pokemon in the RU metagame and commonly paired with pokemon as blastoise/quagsire/gastrodon. U-Turn on yanmega sounds like a great idea and will swap HP ground out immediatly. HP grass did a suprising amount of dmg after checking...
