I highly disagree. With Multiscale, dragonite is plenty defensive. Salamence MAY be better as a DD sweeper (Which I actually disagree with, because of Multiscale), but Dragonite isn't a DD sweeper, it's a parashuffler. To jeta, I would recommend Lucario over Ferrothorn, because your team...

I actually think Red Card is a good idea on Forretress, but only in certain situations. For example, like you said, saving your team from a sweep, or if a pokemon deals 60% damage, then gets shuffled to something that can't touch Forretress. Sure Lefties gives you 6.5% per turn, and is pretty...

Wait I don't understand. What Wide Lens does is change hustle from a 20% accuracy drop to a 10% one. As in, in stead of moves having 80% Accuracy they have 90%, no setup required. Wide Lens doesn't affect power.

You might want to consider Hex on Cofagrigus, with Toxic Spikes and Will-o-wisp, it will be doing 100 damage more often then not. Also, you might want a Calm Mind set, but maybe it's not your style. Cofagrigus @ Leftovers Mummy Relaxed 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Sp.Def (0 Speed Ivs) -Shadow Ball -Calm...

I wholeheartedly agree that roost is a great choice if you're countering croak, but from what I read in the main post, you're supposed to post Pokemon that fit well on a team and that are used often, so I just chose an often used set to show that you don't even need roost to win. If you're...

Like all things, getting a rapid spin off takes skill and planning, but it's very possible with the right planning and skill. It's just as fair to assume you CAN spin then to assume you can't.

Stealth Rock is assumed to be up for the countering of the pokemon, nothing in the original post says they can't be spun away later, just that they're up when Toxicroak is first brought in. In this scenario, where the foe switches into a scarfed poke, Volcarona can just be switched out and the...

This has got to be the best counter so far. All it really fears is a crit.

What about a Wide Lens set? That's what I run, and I've found it works pretty well (Or is it "works pretty good"?) Durant @ Wide Lens Trait: Hustle EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP Serious Nature - X-Scissor - Superpower - Stone Edge - Iron Head You should also slash in a Lum Berry on the Hone...

Either I'm very mistaken or you're forgetting Leftovers. The only way the opponent comes out the winner is if he's the luckiest man on earth. Here's how things would go. The opponent sends in his toxicroak on whatever. It forces a switch and you go to Volcarona as Toxicroak uses substitute. Now...

I have another one. For next time, should I update my post rather than make a new one? EDIT: Looks like someone beat me to it. I swear when I was typing this the post before me wasn't there. Volcarona @ Leftovers Trait: Flame Body EVs: 240 HP / 216 Def / 52 Spd Bold Nature - Quiver Dance -...

I'm fairly new to this, but this is what immediately came to mind. Skarmory @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk Impish Nature - Roost - Spikes - Whirlwind - Brave Bird Skarmory (OU Physically Defensive) Focus Punch 40.41 - 47.6% Ice Punch 13.17 - 16.16% I feel bad about not...

You should slash overheat with fire blast on the Choice Scarf set, like you did in the specs set.

You should mention something about LO Darmanitan, and how Empoleon+Tangrowth won't do much against it.

FWG is a basic, but reliable core. In UU, my favourite core is Physically Defensive Arcanine, Amoongus, and Slowbro.
