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.
Anyone running Corrosion? Glimmora is unique as it has decent bulk and has excellent special attack and I find you can abuse it's ability to the fullest by using it on a sandstorm team for the poison and extra chip damage. Spiky Shield + Toxic Glimmora with Hippo is a good sand core with the...
I think we finally now have Blissey's physical wall counter-part. But Dondozo is even better as it has a respectable Attack stat to render it not so passive. This thing just blanks non-SE attacks for days.
So if you Tera Hyredigon to be Dark you get Super STAB Dark Pulse 1.5 STAB *1.33 Tera does that seem about right? And this effect also stays even if you switch out.
Mortal Spin from the new Rock/Poison flower 'mon should remove hazards (plus the chance to poison). But some are saying otherwise IIRC this has yet to be vetted 100%.
Do we have a list of notable Pokemon who lost Defog in combination with Roost this gen? At the top of my head are Scizor and Hydreigon. Stall is deadx2 say hello hazards meta lol

For the Poison/Rock flower's Rapid Spin clone, do we know if that removes hazards as well? Would be really lame if it didn't. Also same for the Ice-type Rapid Spin.
Is Suicune really broken? I think you have some loopholes in your teambuilding. Between Toxicroak who is the number one counter and Clear Smog Gastrodon/Haze Mantine, Suicune have no hopes of breaking either of them. Hell even SpD Vileplume with Growth is a decent check to it so you can boost...
I have ran a fairly decent VinCune team on the ladder and you really need something to pressure Toxapex as PP stalling it is a futile attempt. Picture this, if the opponent team has a Toxapex and Water Absorb user (say Volcanion), the opponent can just switch between Pex and said Water Absorb...
I'm running a Sand Balance/Semi Stall core composed of Gigalith/Palossand/Sigilyph/Gastrodon and it has been working wonders on the ladder. Rain matchup is surprisingly decent and I actually find the Sun match up trickier to handle.
I know a couple of pages were discussed how Zygarde is potentially problematic, but I think Kyurem-B is actually the bigger threat as it can even check Zygarde itself. It only really needs three moves: DD/Icicle Spear/Fusion Bolt to terrorize the whole tier and you can even run Roost as the last...
