I use the relatively standard set except Ive chosen Destiny bond for the filler. Smeargle @ focus sash Ability: Own Tempo EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 SDef jolly Nature - spore - stealth Rock - Sticky Web - Destiny Bond Most battles I'll spore one pokemon. If theyre grass then I'll set a hazard...

Landorus-T @ Choice Band Trait: Intimidate Evs: 252Atk/252Spd/4Def Nature:Adamant/Jolly -Earthquake -Stone Edge/Rock Slide -Superpower/Brick Break -U-Turn Landorus is an amazing defensive pivot to most physical attackers such as Terrakion, Landorus, Lucario etc... With an adamant nature his...

It can switch in twice to a modest specs draco meteor from a 170sp.att stat. Thats pretty good considering. Pair heatran up with chansey/blissey with wish support and heatran can switch in all day to draco meteor and fusion flare. Chansey is, however the best check to the specs set. I would say...

I never said that heatran could check the sub kyreum W set. It can, however continually switch into choiced draco meteors/ice beams. As of the life orb set, heatran requires wish support if kyreum is running earth power, which is where Blissey/chansey come in.

em ice beam gets a stab boost making it 142.5 overall, x2 = 285.......

With sun up, just about nothing can switch into Kyreum! I guess that would be a big factor in checking it. There are probably many cores that can safely deal with kyreum W, and if it takes 2 pokemon to stop this demon then its clearly overpowered lol

Oh yeah, well ice beam would go over focus blast meaning that heatran would basically have nothing to fear but fusion flare+stealth rocks from the specs set which can be mitigated by using protect to gain more leftovers recovery :)

Most mixed sets for kyreum W will consist of draco meteor/dragon pulse, outrage, fusion flare, earth power/focus blast. Earth power is extremely more favourable over focus blast due to better coverage. Most specs sets will consist of draco meteor, fusion flare, focus blast, earth power...

252sp.att, naive +life orb fusion flare vs 252sp def and 252hp heatran = 34.2%-40.41%. This is no where near a 2 ko even with rocks up. Il admit that specs fusion flare can 2 ko with rocks up. You would need to predict a draco meteor which isnt hard if your switching from a poke that resists...

From what I've read, it seems that Kyreum W is harder to counter/check than Kyreum B I've been searching for checks to this beast and the best i've found so far is special defensive heatran. I've provided some calcs to prove this. Naive 252sp.att +lifeorb Draco meteor vs 252sp.def and 252hp...

Hey, nice team with good synergy. imo if you are using a latias without calm mind as an offensive poke, your as well using latios to give your team more raw power. It still functions well and has decent bulk. Also, i suggest a more offensive variant of heatran so your not lying down to the...
