I agree that while Beedrill is seriously threatening, it is not broken. I feel that with all the focus on abilities in this meta, a lot of people forget that plain old type counters can work as well. Sure, there is no ability that counters Unaware+Skill Link. But plenty of mons can actually...

I laddered to number 9 on the ladder with this strategy and beat many unaware cloysters. Physdef Klefki can eat several hits through berry recovery and 2hko cloyster. Kyub lives one rock blast from full and can kill back through sturdy. Prankster Thunder Wave or Destiny Bond can cripple or...

Pangoro and Conkeldurr lose easily to Trevenant without Scrappy. With Scrappy, which is rare, Swalot 1v1s them easily as well. By the time Knock Off is relevant, Kyurem would have so many boosts I don't see how it wouldn't auto win. I have detailed in an earlier post how this team usually beats...

I don't know if you saw my previous post, but using this strategy I have laddered to the 9th spot on the ladder. My team did not use Dazzling but instead relied on pure physical bulk with unaware and constant healing to beat Skill Link, Triage, and Aerilate. https://pokepast.es/208e881c9f5e561f...

I think its worth it to run a mon even with a subpar ability if it means not auto-losing to skill link + unaware. Also worth noting that klefki and celesteela actually pass decent abilities.

Try using something to outspeed and break things like cloyster and mega beedrill. Since you have unaware on the team, simply adding a bulky steel will also help as you resist every common multihit move and the users tend to be very frail. The latter option is likely better as it doesn't have to...

I think you're overlooking the presence of many Skill Link teams that easily power through Multiscale and Sturdy.

I'd like to go off the previous post about Starf Berry spam. I built a team several days ago (notably without Dazzling) that I had a good amount of success with (despite testing loads of bad teams, I did well with several versions of it such as the one below and ended in the 1400's)...

won in 3 ggs vs demantoid, got lucky with the crucial leaf storm miss game 2. g1: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/doublesuu-389977931 g2: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/doublesuu-389983060 g3: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/doublesuu-389988965

I scheduled for noon today and waited until 12:23 for demantoid , calling activity. I am leaving for a trip to China in two days where it will be very difficult to get in matches, so today was really my only time.
