Beheeyem does look formidable on paper with those stats and movepool but in reality i find it quite underwhelming. Dark, Ghost and Bug moves are everywhere in this meta, especially Knock Off and that speed stat doesn't help. However looking at the rankings it definitely seems better than mons...

"Sub is it's best set" What? Sub is useful against stall teams to avoid the toxic but HP grass/electric is far more valuable against all other team archetypes ko'ing basically every bulky water mon and other niche stuff like Gastrodon and Volcanion. +2 252+ SpA Deep Sea Tooth Clamperl Hidden...

Agree with the Lilligant nomination. On the topic of Quiver dancers, Vivillon needs a place too. Accurate Hurricanes and Sleep powders with Quiver Dance make it a dangerous proposition.B Blaziken-Mega needs a place too since after a speed boost it can sweep weakened teams surprisingly well. B+.

Nice rankings Quantum. Brings some life to this thread again. But i think it needs a bit off tweaking and additions :) Rampardos for one is an amazing wallbreaker/sweeper/revenge killer depending on it's set and can smash every counter with the right moves. It's bulk is quite decent too. Really...

While Pdon is still an amazing mon that can be amazingly versatile, it isn't as metagame-defining as it was in ubers, so i really don't think that using an ordinary mon like Golduck can be justified merely because it checks Pdon especially since as Stocke mentioned, can be checked with better...

With this tier having a lot of normal spam like most OM's and spinblocking having a pretty vital niche since Avalugg is a thing, Ghosts are definitely in demand. While the're a lot of great PU mons that can fulfil this rule, for balance teams I would say the best mon is none other the God...

Ghosts can still handle Dynamic Punches while confuse ray should only be run if you sole aim is to try to get ragequits.Not to mention you become insta-setup bait for Sub mons. The only reason i mentioned these is too show how confusion in general isn't uncompetitive but Chatter is since it has...

I actually haven't met a lot of chatot's while playing on showdown and I've always won when playing against them so I don't think it's even close to being a huge threat and as you mentioned 123 Spa is mediocre at best. But the fact remains that Chatot will pretty much always fire off a Chatter...

I don't think +10 is enough to make cloyster viable especially when so many hazard stackers are available. Crustle for example is quite similiar with spikes and SR, shell smash and high defense and has a higher stats except for defense. Also can Chatot be banned? Or more specifically can it be...

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but Volbeat can be brilliant in this meta. Prankster Baton Pass plus Tail Glow with good bulk and excellent special sweepers to pass a +3 boost makes it a dangerous wincon in this meta. Prankster Encore helps too. Volbeat @ Focus Sash Ability: Prankster...

With sticky web being a pretty good strategy with decent setters and great abusers, I did a bit off team building. One problem i faced was the plethora of defoggers with stuff like mantine,skuntank and noctowl annoyingly bulky.So i thought - why not use a defiant uset that can also abuse sticky...

No Ban Already gave my reasoning in previous posts.

A post that it not about MegaMence! Yay. Cool set though Lando's defenses and lack of priority are problems for it. Another thing is it is completely walled by the Lati twins - 252 SpA Life Orb Landorus Hidden Power Ice vs. +1 4 HP / 0 SpD Mega Latias: 73-88 (24.1 - 29.1%) I think a mixed set...

All your above arguments are based on the fact that the Mence player is a brilliant player making flawless predictions and knows the sets beforehand. You don't know if the Pinsir has a band, it could very well be a SD Pinsir and predicting your switch, your opponent gets a SD and he can sweep...

The problem that MegaMence faces and the reason it should not be restricted in this meta is that it can set up on virtually nothing. The power creep of this meta combined with the complete absence of stall and abundance of priority means that Mence will rarely if at all get a DD and use it to...
