I spent quite a lot of time trying to look up for you, but couldn't find anything. Idk if this helps uncover the mystery, but with that investment, it reaches the same spA as uninvested base 125s, which for common(ish) mons include Hydreigon and Reuniclus. So maybe its something to do with...

Thanks for the helpful post. Vish seems pretty good since there doesn't seem to be much protect spam on balance other than perhaps baneful on pex, so ill try predicting with psychic fangs to put pex into fishous rend range reliably.

Any good breakers vs: this balance/semi-stall? : 1. rest+snarl ttar 2. lunala 3. iron def corv 4. zacian-c 5. twave support necrozma 6. pex thanks for any help

So that sun replay above pisses me off. I'm sorry this more of a complaint than a question, but are there any good players out there that do well in tours or ladder consistently with only having to pp stall on a very rare basis? Both players didnt care much about preserving their offensive...

Hi I recently lost to this team: Ditto+bandUrsh+leftiesMage+Mandi+Chans+knockPex (I don't know other set details than that) This is the team I use: https://pokepast.es/822010ed4246b48d I had trouble getting past Pex+Ditto cuz Pex would force my Mage to either only Volt, or Trick and thus lose...

Yep it's been a great taunter for the past few gens. Just commenting that I'd find Mental Herb as a very attractive option on this, just to turn the tables on opposing faster taunters and possibly toxic something else, since from my experience the opponent often switches out if their taunt lead...

I'm fine with Ursh and Ace being banned after Mage, as long as that means afterwards Pex will get banned for being an unhealthy centralizer that makes playing defense too easy.

You should also consider neutralities for typing too. spDef Excadrill is a popular partner for Mandibuzz. Often Pex or Amoongus is added to these two. For this current meta with Mage still around, here's a core many people are using (though I'm not sure Mandibuzz's EVs are the best) ...

Here's a Trick Room, "standard" looking but fun to use. https://pokepast.es/7d2c0b93084742cb Crawdaunt @ Choice Band Ability: Adaptability EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD Brave Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Crabhammer - Aqua Jet - Knock Off - Crunch Bronzong @ Mental Herb Ability: Heatproof...

I think many people are opting for TW over WoW because it threatens/checks Ace, Volc, and Zam (also I note that it helps more against any SG Mage or scarf Togekiss), while teammate Excadrill is running more Toxic these days to affect Mandi anyways. However on the other hand, a couple downsides...

It has a giant Bun anyways and then following the logic the true meaning of Cheek Pouch is revealed ... /// An alternative set for your team that I saw player "ezwz" using, tho it can be passive af: Azumarill @ Leftovers Ability: Sap Sipper EVs: 240 HP / 252 Def / 16 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0...

I'm using 252+ SpA Rotom-H with boots, stabs, nasty plot, & pain split. It's typing + levitate is pretty good role compression in this meta since it also checks like rillaboom, clef, togekiss, scizor, and to a degree zera and cinderace. It can actually also threaten chansey & stall/defense...

would someone please put a Sand Balance team in the Samples? :) edit: thanks so much sparkwings !!

Thanks for sharing, eBelt seems like a solid set. It can probably surprise some mons that think they can setup safely on rachi. The below set is more meme-ish, but the high 140 BP of Doom plus Specs makes up for rachi's 100 spA stat. Against more offensive teams lacking certain fat like...

Just pointing out here that I don't think Aegi is trapped by Zone since ghosts can't be trapped
