This is the main benefit I see to having TB deducted as an option. Frankly the fact a mon like IronVal can choose to have Ground coverage on top of its already massive pool simply makes countering some sets feel like an experiment in frustration. It's why even if I think a mon like Dnite is fine...

The course of action I'd like to see if there's any room for action, then to see TB suspected. If it's banned, then only a select slew of the threats that utilized it should be retested following. Ones like Moon, Uglier Entei, etc should stay banned but Regleki or something could be fun to mess...

I fucking love Hydrapple and I feel like its seriously so good. Not only does it dunk on Oger (even Play Rough cannot do a OHK, especially if you're full) but helmet on top of it is great for ensure it eats SOME chip. I think its seriously underrated, long as you have a good core that can handle...

Usually I run Mandibuzz in a double dark core--Sometimes triple if I'm confident in the set up. I think running it with a good, strong and fast dark type (Meow, Weavile, Darkrai) that threaten Ghold is the best answer you can give it. Mandibuzz really does just tank hits from physical attackers...

Embrace the Mandibuzz pill. utterly stands defiant in the face of Dnite even against SE hits and has access to foul play and/or whirlwind. Even handles Ogerpon pretty well (unless you get crit.............)

Anyone got some good utility Scizor sets with defog? Looking for a sturdy one that still deals some dmg. Haven't really used it before so I'm interested in seeing what people use.

Legitimately if there's a single mon I'd push for removal its this fucking thing. The fact it has free stab on its moves due to the mask, water immunity, and a no contact STAB that chunks half the meta game unless you're zama is downright stupid. I hate it so much. Hazard week or not the fact it...

Hatterene @ Assault Vest Ability: Magic Bounce Tera Type: Grass EVs: 252 HP / 132 SpA / 104 SpD / 20 Spe Modest Nature - Draining Kiss - Future Sight - Nuzzle - Giga Drain This is the Hat Set i use when its meant to be a stand in against stall line ups. I forget what the EV's...

Not going to lie I used to be a major moth hater, but I feel like Specs Moth is so fucking much better its not even funny. Booster feels like trash but specs with Tspikes and Overheat is like butter. I've been having a lot of fun with it, especially as far too many Gargs come in cocky before...

I think the best Volcan teams rn are double hazard removal with specs by far. Tera Water on this thing is downright nasty, but you can make a huge argument for Tera Ground as well with EP. I think the grassy seed set with rillaboom used to be pretty solid, but the current amount of grass resists...

Hazard stack is one of the better answers to Ogerpon for sure, but the rise of Corv and the continued use of Tusk means that teams looking to keep ogerpon around will absolutely be using one of more of these to keep it safe. But even then, Ogerpon coming in means its going to generate value of...

All I'll say is that at the rate we're going some of these OU mons in the future will be packing Supreme Overlords that give them priority on physical moves. And depending on the nature of the mons in terms of what they actually provide, the question of banning only their batshit insane moves or...

Anyways I've been having a lot of fun using some wacky cores, especially right now Doom Desire Jirachi leading into Azu/Choice Band Okidogi/Meow switch ins. Absolutely tears up some of the usual cores and being able to nail a usual switch in answer with one of the three makes for some...

Thank you for this!!!!! I definitely will experiment with it to see what I can do!

Are there any decent teams that use Azumarill? Mainly not Screens cheese with belly drum, etc. I was thinking of trying it out but I was curious if there's any team comps with it that aren't just cheesy and play to its strengths as a bulk water type that hits hard.
