If we can only get access to Normal Gem is this set viable? Hawlucha @ Normal Gem Adamant Unburden - Return - HJK - Acrobatics - Hone Claws/Bulk Up/Swords Dance

Thanks for all your responses, they are great! Did you take Multiscale into account for the Dragonite math? Not sure if it is a typo or w/e but it says Dragon Claw using Azu? Obviously I would want to switch out Dragonite out if it is facing Azu without having previously set up a DD. Help...

Ah, that makes sense. Yes, Azumarill is pretty strong. I do run 252Hp Aegislash. This also doesn't take into account King's Shielding any of Azu's moves, lowering it's attack. Would you say DD Dragonite is a better choice than Hydreigon? Appreciates the spinning more and after a dance it can...

Sorry if I am being dumb, but how did Gengar come into this?

Thanks for the input :) I haven't done the math but I assumed an Expert Belted Flash Cannon from Hydrei would do good things(same with Draco Meteor against Latios?). Aegis is pretty good against Fairies too. Will give it some testing. Can't the other 3 slots also help cover these weaknesses? Hmm...

I would love for the method to get flying/fighting gems to be confirmed. Been smashing rocks and found no gems at all. I have an Adamant EV trained Unburden Hawlucha ready and waiting for a gem. It runs: - Encore - Hone Claws - HJK - Acrobatics Any suggestions on a good alternate item?

I think I am going to settle for M-Blastoise - Aegislash - Hydreigon core. Nice offensive core that covers each other's weaknesses perfectly and gives access to spinning and spin blocking. Hydreigon even learns Flash Cannon via TM which is a nice counter to a fairy switch in. Now I just need...

I am not disregarding Dragonite by any stretch but maybe Noivern would be a suitable choice? It still is an easy switch in to Aegislash's weaknesses and provides a fast and varied movepool on the special side of things. Choices, choices...

This looks great. Now if I could only find a female HA Gligar D': Looks like Gliscor is a pretty good counter to Aegislash. Running Protect, Toxic, EQ and Roost it can take Aegis' moves, hit with an EQ then stall and heal a couple of turns with protect/roost/poison heal. Nasty.

Good job on the calcs. Looks good. Interesting that you went with 0 Att EVs. With Multiscale isn't a non HP and defenses Dragonite going to survive one SE move anyway? This allows it to set up a DD and sweep nearly anything. I was thinking of changing Roost for Fire Punch and going with this...

Makes sense. Is Fire Punch worth using over Blast (prob using Jolly Nature) after a DD? Togekiss was annoying enough without better typing and second STAB >_>

Been thinking about a bulky offensive core with an old favorite, another with a new leash on life and a new guy I have been enjoying. Thoughts and other 3 slot advice appreciated: - Multiscale Dragonite: DD/Roost/EQ/ Dragon Claw - Aegislash with usual set - Mega Blastoise with Dark Pulse and...

How about replacing Talonflame/Noivern with Crobat with Infliltrator? He has access to Defog and U-turn (and Hypnosis?). You can probably still run Spikes and Sticky Web as a Volt-turn core to reapply your hazards if defog was needed (or they were spun away) For a spinblocker & Special Wall...

I posted a similar set. I think the HP EVs are better served up Def and/ or SpDef as a HP stat that high will diminish the usefulness of Horn Leech, Leech Seed and Wish passes. Has anyone tried an Assault Vest Bulky Attacker or Special Wall? Horn Leech gives it great survivability.

Can someone confirm Hypnosis? That could be very cool and fun with Magician/Switcheroo.
