I finally got the 50 with this team: Gengar Focus sash Timid Nature 252 SpA / 252 Speed - Sludge Bomb - Shadow Ball - Destiny Bond - Sucker Punch Magnezone Choice Specs ANALYTIC Modest Nature 252 HP / 252 SpA - TB - Flash Cannon - Volt Switch - HP (Dragon -_-) Gyarados @Gyaradosnite Adamant...

I don't know, in the best case scenario where no rocks are on the field and he can keep his Sturdy alive, he would always flatout win against each Dragon, even if they carry Fire Blast. Or he could even oneshot Special Attackers with Mirror Coat (since Blissey with Counter WAS a thing once). I...

Of course it doesn't have 31 SpA, it has 31/31/31/x/31/0 and Relaxed Nature for Gyro Ball / Trick Room. It was also the very first Bergmite with these stats and it was NOT through Masuda Method as it had no foreign parents, it was sheer and 100 % luck. :pimp: However, back to topic...

God, he's by far my most favorite Pokemon this gen (after I accidentally bred a shiny one with Sturdy and flawless IVs :heart:) Custap berry seems SO good on him but I feel like he really wants leftovers to tank all those supereffective hits. I also really love the curse set on him (although...

Yes, they are. My bad.

There's only one answer to this and it's Prankster Whimsicott Edit: Lead Mamoswine seems also pretty decent against it. It can't be paralyzed due to part ground type, has STAB Earthquake to hit back and can't be taunted due to Oblivious.

The problem is that Defog is a thing now and most of the popular Defog users are Flying type who don't care about Spikes anyways. Chesnaught can't threaten those with neither Grass nor Fighting type moves so he can either Leech Seed or risk a Taunt or x4 Brave Bird from Crobat / Skarmory. So...

How about Probopass? 252+ SpA Probopass Earth Power vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Heatran: 208-248 (54.02 - 64.41%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 0 SpA Heatran Lava Plume vs. +1 160 HP / 0 SpD Probopass: 51-61 (16.94 - 20.26%) -- possible 7HKO (since Defensive Heatrans don't carry Earth Power anyways) also...

I really feel that Suicide-SR leads still will be a thing, at least that's what the most recent battles on Showdown demonstrate. Also, I've seen quite a lot of Espeons lately. As far as defog users are concerned, Scizor sticks out as being neutral to SR and being immune to Toxic Spikes...

Aww, that's sad. Though it wouldn't be too far off to give Lapras, some Loss Nech Monster who lives in misty caves and learns Mist a move which removes said mist / fog. Just for fun: 252+ SpA Choice Specs Lapras Freeze Dry vs. 232 HP / 0 SpD Rotom-W: 266-314 (88.96 - 105.01%) -- guaranteed...

Mandibuzz and many other dark types can't get Foul Play, which is a tutor move in BW2. Umbreon, Spiritomb, Weavile, Liepard and even Amoonguss (to some lesser extent) are other "potential" users.

That sounds really exciting, I wonder what Lapras' role in a team would be. I'd be thrilled to use her in OU again. While the combination of Defog + counter to bulky water seems really odd, Lapra has a really good time against Greninja, resisting both of his main coverage moves Hydro Pump +...

From a pure defensive perspective I have to say that Chestnaught faces some competition with Tangrowth. Dark and Rock are not really that common, so I'm quite unsure whether the potential to wall off 2 additional damage types is worth the danger of getting blasted by Psychic and x4 Flying...
