Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
hi whys baton pass op. if baton pass was allowed, what would be the best abusers of it and why. need to know cuz im doing a ndou with baton pass allowed private match against a friend so please help me out thanks
Yeah I might try eq, I don't think rain teams are that common
Also wanted to say that I'm not new to competitive mons, just new to this gen and format. Last gen OU I didn't use anything more offensive than BO so I decided to try out some HO for this gen's OU

It is passive as heck though. Like a mon like kingambit can easily use it as setup fodder because its only attack that actually can do damage is steel beam which is a type many mons resist in this tier
So what makes you think this team isn't beginner...

^ New to the tier and this is a sample team that I've been using, and I haven't been finding treads very useful. It sets up rocks, spins if hazards on my side and then what? I've only seen thunder useful for peli, and steel beam does nothing to mons that...

^ So I just started playing this format and this is a sample team that I've been using but I don't know how old it is and I'm not sure if it's outdated or not so I just wanted to see what you guys think about this team in the current meta
Yeah it's just that switching exists so I don't really use fake out very often. I think facade could also be a good option because of all the volcs and zaps that can come in and cripple m lop w status
And some other options i was thinking:
How about icium z kyurem + lefties washtom?
Stone edge...
What do you think about replacing fakeout on m lop with healing wish/pop? The only time I remember me clicking that move is when I wanna break the sash from a sui lead
I was also thinking hdb kyurem could fix the rocks weakness too and maybe you dont need to run defog anymore idk
Also zard x...
Hmm but you could use both skewda and pert-mega right? Sure skewda provides like no defensive utility but it can hold a choice band meaning it'll hit much harder
252+ Atk Choice Band Barraskewda Liquidation vs. 248 HP / 16+ Def Scizor-Mega in Rain: 222-262 (64.7 - 76.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252...
Yo cool team, I've never played nat dex before so I went here to find a random team to use and decided to use yours but I'm curious how you deal with mega scizor because that thing just 6-0s me every time
