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.
I've noticed that none of these calcs include rain, which is a mistake because rain exists - while not a top tier play style, rain (mostly semi-rain) is viable so it has to be considered. Seismitoed is the only answer in rain. Pex and Ferro were weak checks at best to begin with, so in my eyes...
The below image will be Dracovish's final sight on May 31st:
I wake up every morning and I ask myself, Is Dracovish banned yet? The answer has been no for too long.
At first, I tirelessly laddered with Dracovish teams using various nicknames for it including "BAN THIS PLEASE and "NEEDS TO BE...
It's true. BUT you could use webs or just spam STABs anyways as even a resisted specs bug buzz will do huge damage against offensive switch ins with resistances like Rotom-H, Dragapult, and Excadrill, so protect is less annoying than you think. From team preview you'll know whether the bug will...
Sorry, while I'm not here to debate Clefable in S+, I will say that I think that it's getting overblown right now. To me
This thing really needs its hidden ability, or swords dance. Badly.
I have personally found a ton of success with a bulkup + 3 attacks (Pyro/Sucker/Zen) which sweeps very...
Kyurem in A is funny. Choice Specs is A+ at a minimum, and combined with the Sub/DD/Roost/Icicle Spear set (which is absolutely savage) I would put it at S-. Honestly if I look at all the A+ offensive threats, none of them compare to Kyurem.
Kyurem is probably the second "most wanted" suspect...
I have used "semi-rain" on a lot of my teams and I just want to add that u-turn is mandatory if you want to get the most usage out of Vish. Pelipper forces a lot of switches and helps maintain momentum, and often times you can switch back into Vish without wasting a step. For example, a common...
Anyone else feel like Excadrill is low key one of the best in the game? We talk a lot in this thread about threats who are able to hold the meta hostage and I think Excadrill is in that conversation, perhaps even moreso than ridiculous threats like Zeraora whose bulk up set is criminal.
If Toed...
I want everyone to take a close hard look at these 2 calcs:
252+ Atk Choice Band Strong Jaw Dracovish Fishious Rend (170 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 141-167 (46.3 - 54.9%) -- 98.8% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Black Sludge recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Strong Jaw Dracovish...
Whenever I see someone say we should suspect dracovish
Everybody gangsta until Fishious Rend 2HKO defensive toxapex after SR.
My personal opinion: I think we should look at Vish, Kyurem and Zeraora in that order before DLC. I know UU has done multiple suspects at once, is that on the table...
