I'm surprised there's no mention of the possibility of a purely physical set. Tornadus-T's attack stat is only ten points lower than it's special attack stat. Plus, with the purely physical set, a Jolly nature can be used to ensure that Tornadus-T's defenses aren't lowered due to its nature...

The reason I like the idea of assault vest Jirachi is because of the 40% chance meteor mash gives to boost your attack, supporting drain punch. Or the charge beam boost being at 100%. I did forget about its new weaknesses though. Kinda makes a body slam/iron head set a lot safer.

I'm starting to wonder if a physical Jirachi variant could carry Assault Vest with a moveset of Serene Grace Meteor Mash, Drain Punch, Zen Headbutt/Iron Head and finished off with an elemental punch or U-Turn. EDIT: Jirachi also gets Charge Beam, which could support its awesome special move...

My mistake, I thought Cell Battery negated the damage. Guess it really is a piss-poor item. As for the bulky return set, I like it. Dragon Tail means you can't get pHazed out, and Waterfall/Return has pretty good type coverage. I like to give him even more bulk though, so he can switch in on...

French Vanilla is way better and will distract any Tyranitar switch ins.

I'm tentatively considering a Cell Battery set with Return to punish Rotom-W and others that try to get off a Volt Switch after my first Dragon Dance. Thoughts? Gyarados@Cell Battery Moxie 52HP/252At/204Spe Jolly Nature -Dragon Dance -Waterfall -Earthquake -Return Advantages: If Rotom-W or...

You're right about that. But I'm able to scout for U-Turn with Protect, and even if I stay in I don't take an overwhelming amount of damage. It works well enough for me, though I can see the advantage of burning a slow and bulky Scizor before it U-Turns out.

I don't think you read my post thoroughly. I made a clear case that I'm not worried about Choice Band Tyranitar because nobody uses it anymore, and the other Pokemon I'm more worried about taking down. Second, my scenario assumes that at around 60% HP I survive another burned Crunch (which...

I didn't prove myself wrong. My goal was to prove that my max defense Trevenant doesn't get maimed by Tyranitar, and I believe I did that very well.

This actually proves you wrong. If you can survive that Crunch and Will-o-Wisp (which you just proved is a certainty), Sitrus Berry will activate and drive you up to an average of 46% HP after accounting for Sandstorm damage. A commanding majority of the time, you'll be able to survive the...

Ttar doesn't maim max defense Trevenant

I prefer the defenses, personally. Although I mainly use him as a near-foolproof spin blocker, so my investment is to survive hits from Excadrill and Tentacruel.

Speed is next to worthless on him. Better he has good enough defenses to actually make use of Sitrus Berry

The good news is, it's not as hard to get going as I'd thought. Just have to wait for an opponent to switch in a slower pokemon, or find an opportunity to force a switch. Bad news is, sandstorms takes it down in a very short time. Also, Phantom Force doesn't kill much so you have to get lucky...

My team is stall so it almost always has some sort of entry hazard up, usually at least a stealth rock and a layer of spikes. I put priority on keeping entry hazards out with Rapid Spin Hitmontop. It's been working for me thus far. I would admit that HP Poison has almost no merit on anyone...
