Garchomp @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Rough Skin Tera Type: Water EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Spe Impish Nature - Earthquake - Dragon Tail - Stealth Rock - Spikes I’ve been experimenting with Garchomp instead of Landorus and I think it brings some nice value - better type synergy with the...

yess i appreciate these suggestions thank you, my only concern by not having any defog at all is that webs would completely cripple the team

It's been a few years since I was really into playing on showdown - I just recently got back into it so this is my first time really experiencing everything gen 9 has to offer. I'm not a fan of the current OU metagame and I really miss megas (excited for ZA) so I figured why not get into...

sorry i'm late to the party but i'd definitely recommend taunt on hawlucha over stone edge or poison jab! i used to use a HO team and since hawlucha is often such an important wincon people will usually preserve a way to status it, phaze it, or set up against it in some other way that would be...

thanks! i'm currently in the middle of trying colbur slowbro in place of magnezone because it handles several threats, including zapdos-galar, at the cost of making breaking a bit more difficult. i also made mandibuzz min speed because it was actually too fast in some places. the slowbro...

hey y'all happy pride month! coming back atchu to take another shot at an ss ou team. one of my favorite pokemon has always been alakazam and i think that with the proper team support it can seriously wreck. i threw this team together and after a couple edits it's doing pretty well, got me back...

I ended up getting rid of scizor a while ago but thank u LOL. i swapped heliolisk for thundurus-t and even tho its not quite as fast the electric immunity is definitely helpful. here's what i'm running now: https://pokepast.es/925094d16844f181 definitely handles rillaboom better but fast ghost...

i'm a huge fan of rising voltage - actually am working on a team using it right now! for koko i always prefer u-turn over volt switch because lando-t (or other ground types) is such a common switch in, and that makes sure that you won't lose momentum because of their electric immunity. i'd 100%...

that's really not a bad idea, i was thinking about trying out celesteela anyway in place of melmetal, and physdef garchomp would do a lot of the same things i rely on ferrothorn for. the only thing i'm missing out then would be knock off support from ferrothorn. maybe i could also try physdef...

here's what i'm running now: https://pokepast.es/e987cc642d5482e9 i haven't played with it a bunch but it's been pretty good so far. i do miss defog koko a little just because i had to put less effort into preserving pelipper, but blissey was so annoying (beatable, just annoying) and this...

thank you sm!!! i agree with all of these changes - and idk how i forgot about the psychic terrain thing. ive only fought lele twice with this team - the first time they got rid of skewda and i got melted, and the second time i switched koko in before scizor without even realizing that that is...

hey y'all, so back in 2020 i made a hyper offense rain team based around regieleki. it was super fun to play with and when it won it won hard, but it was inconsistent at times due to regieleki's need for ground-type removal. this was pretty hard given the frequency to which we saw lando-t back...

So you telling me to try SpD Kart made me think about trying AV Melmetal, and it's actually been working pretty well. Melmetal @ Assault Vest Ability: Iron Fist EVs: 8 HP / 248 Atk / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Double Iron Bash - Earthquake - Ice Punch - Thunder Punch Max SpD allows...

hey!! it's been a hot minute but i'm getting back into showdown. last time i was playing a lot i was using a hyper offense team by scorpia. i had never played with such a successful hyper offense team before and it was fun to swap in new mons to test stuff out. however, that was like 6 months...

hey i know it's been a hot sec since anybody posted on this thread BUT ive been using this team for a couple weeks now and this version of it got me to top 500 for the first time (#390 rn) Kyurem @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure Shiny: Yes EVs: 248 HP / 112 Def / 116 SpD / 32 Spe Careful...
