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.
Yeah I mentioned those things in the post, thanks for restating them.
Although I'm not a fan of stall, I've won 2 games today with this as my win condition only using the Deoxys-Defense set I posted. After getting rid of priority threats like Ogerpon and SlitherWing and their Hazard removers...
Why Isn't Copycat Banned?!?
All Psychic and Fighting types (+ Grafaiai/Shroodle) can become near immortal and stall games to over 350 turns.
History:
In Gen5 VGC there used to be a gimmic called 'DiveCats'. Watch WolfeVGC's Video on it here. That allowed Purrloin and Liepard to become...
A more stall oriented set with it's old Curse tactics + it's new access to Body Press would probably look like:
Curse Sweeper (Torterra) @ Leftovers
Ability: Shell Armor
Tera Type: Fight / Steel / Water / Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def/ 252 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Leech Seed
- Curse
- Body Press /...
G-Weezer+Neutered Gas seems like it would prob fit best as a stall breaking support + tech option imo. Like it probably won't do much on it's own, but it seems like it has great potential to allow a sweeper to setup on a burned mon (like Baxcalibur/Garganacl) or one that has had it's stats...
I think that Manaphy will probably be in OU since it kinda get's stuffed by any team with:
- stat eliminating moves
- encore
- taunt
- rain check/water resist
I haven't checked to see how many new mons are getting moves with these properties, but it will probably be a higher tier OU threat imo.
