Did some calcs of various Defense investments for Impish A-Marowak. 252+ Atk Tapu Bulu Wood Hammer vs. 248 HP / 0+ Def Marowak-Alola: 135-160 (41.7 - 49.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery 252 Atk Life Orb Technician Breloom Bullet Seed (5 hits) vs. 248 HP / 76+ Def...

Impish nature kind of limits a fully offensive set, and since it's in SuMo it won't have Stealth Rock or Fire Punch as options. Maybe a phys-defensive or mixed wall set could work? Not sure about the EV's, but definitely run Shadow Bone and Wisp.

Generally speaking, people want to avoid any sort of drop in defensive stats that might turn something like a 2hko into a chance to ohko. The exceptions are Pokemon that 1) are running a mixed set, and 2) have low defense(s) to begin with. Porygon2 is the only Download Pokemon to consider (Bye...

252 Atk Life Orb Mimikyu Play Rough vs. 248 HP / 48 Def Crobat: 84-100 (22.5 - 26.8%) -- possible 5HKO after Black Sludge recovery 252 Atk Life Orb Mimikyu Shadow Claw vs. 248 HP / 48 Def Crobat: 133-156 (35.6 - 41.8%) -- 80.9% chance to 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery 252 Atk Life Orb Mimikyu...

aah that's true, as long as you switch in on the SD. A life orb set still poses an issue though. +1 252 Atk Life Orb Mimikyu Play Rough vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Gyarados: 270-320 (81.5 - 96.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO +1 252 Atk Life Orb Mimikyu Play Rough vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Gyarados: 270-320 (81.5 - 96.6%) --...

I've been wanting to mention that, Mold Breaker is a way of getting around Disguise. Excadrill seems like the only one that could work as a check though, since the others are weak to Fairy STAB (Haxorus, Pangoro), have an Ability they prefer (Pinsir, Hawlucha?), or are generally outclassed...

If I understand right, Comatose means that moves dependent on sleep like Sleep Talk (and Snore, Dream Eater, Nightmare) will always work. The main issue I see with this moveset is that all the moves have a type immune to them, which poses a problem since Sleep Talk randomizes your moves. I'd...

Finally got to use some bulky spin-support Tsareena, and I have to say it works pretty well. If anything it has more opportunities to come in than the Scarf set (though that might have been because it was UU), and the set does respectable damage with hardly any investment. Have a few replays...

Max speed Ribombee hits 381 Speed, which according to this list is a single point slower than Adamant Scarf Diggersby and +1 Feraligatr. Also Koko is a faster Fairy (and Scarf Lele), but if we're talking UU the next fastest would be Whimsicott. Speaking of its resistances... 252 Atk Life Orb...

180 speed lets you outspeed Pheromosa after Shell Smash even in Meteor form, then it's just max Sp.Attack with the rest in Attack.

I've been using an 84 Def set. I did a handful of calcs comparing it to a 52/32 split for anyone that's still curious. 0 Atk Komala Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Marowak-Alola: 150-178 (46.4 - 55.1%) -- 63.7% chance to 2HKO 52 Atk Komala Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Marowak-Alola: 158-186...

For the offensive and Steel-trapping sets, I might recommend at least 136 speed EV's. This allows you to outspeed uninvested Celesteela, while also outspeeding A-Marowak trying to achieve the same thing. Max speed Jolly A-Marowak might also be a thing, but you speed tie at best. 252+ Atk...

I've been trying out a more specially-oriented mixed Minior, because 1) have an otherwise entirely physical team, and 2) I love Power Gem. It can be a challenge to find good setup opportunities, but then THIS GAME HAPPENED: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-502067321 252 Atk Garchomp...

I've actually had a bit of success with the Scarfed set. It's not going to outspeed something like Phero, but she does outspeed Ash-ninja (she can even tank an Ice Beam if it's scarfed) and neutral-natured base 150's. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-501751972 Scarf-Tsareena pretty...

I guess it depends on the rest of your team comp. Komala has pretty high base attack to begin with so putting the rest in Def wouldn't hurt, but if you want something with more of an offensive presence Idk how much damage 84 EV's allow you to take/deal, someone else can do the calcs if they want...
