I see, thank you

I assume this would be the place to ask this since it’s regarding showdown metrics rather than questions about a specific tier, but I’ll move it if it’s wrong. I need some insight on GXE and how best to go about raising it to meet suspect testing requirements. If I am trying to get to 80.0 and...

Offensive Dragon Dance by Jonbot and Berry Lure Stealth Rock by Xenocide88

Tyranitar @ Expert Belt Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Whirlpool - Fire Blast - Ice Beam - Earth Power/Thunderbolt/Stealth Rock/Stone Edge Fun fact, Tyranitar learns Whirlpool. Most CB TTar switch-ins overlap with Excadrill, namely Landorus-T...

Dracovish: Ban

Confirming as NXVISH Oops, I played an OU game before realizing that it was my alt but I don’t think that matters

Hawlucha serves as an offensive Check to Urshifu-SS. :ss/Hawlucha: Hawlucha @ Grassy Seed Adamant Nature Ability: Unburden EVs: 252 Atk / 28 Def / 228 Spe - Swords Dance - Acrobatics - Close Combat - Roost/Taunt/Substitute It is able to do so thanks to its unique typing. Defensively, Lucha’s...

Regarding Talonflame, I initially started writing about how gimmicky I thought its OU potential would be, but in reflection I think it actually has a good shot at being an OU as it stands. Being a fast U-Turn Defogger with the ability to check Clefable and Cinderace and counter Volcarona is an...

Ferrothorn acts as a check to Clefable. Defensively, Ferrothorn only takes 12-14% uninvested, meaning it can almost always switch in unless it’s already dead. The recent Dracovish ban leaves room for SpD investment so potentially, Clef could do even less. Offensively, Ferrothorn’s best option...

I’m a little shocked that it wasn’t posted already but CM Zeraora works as an offensive check to Ferro/Hippo defensive cores. Zeraora @ Leftovers Ability: Volt Absorb EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Calm Mind - Thunderbolt - Grass Knot - Aura Sphere...
