Those are some awesome teams man, it's just a shame that the ones with mega swampert can't be used in UU atm. Since the new usage stats have propelled mega swampert to OU. But I guess we'll have to see whether anything can fill it's role within those teams atm. It'd definitely not going to be...

You obviously didn't read my post correctly, I was reffering to bad coverage on the psychium z set not the tg + 3 attacks set. So I'm going to dismiss your reply because of that, since I cba rephrase myself if you don't know how to read. There's absolutely no need to be cocky about anything...

Conkeldurr will have to go from OU just like Heracross from RU, the guts + flame orb set has been buffed ever since the burn damage was nerfed. Besides, Heracross easily replaces conkeldurr as a guts wallbreaker, even though it has a lower attack, lacks priority and lacks drain punch. Yeah...

My response was to user Ajna who had replied to my comment, there's no need for you to get involved. Remember, we're here discussing Heracross not about what I've said and what's been said to me. Let's close this topic and move on. I am currently testing other revenge killers in RU for my team...

You can't go around criticising my decision when it hasn't even been made! And you don't know what's going around in my mind lol. If I find a suitable mon to replace it's job as a scarf revenge killer (something which everyone forgets about) then I'll asses whether it can still allow teams to...

Yep, you're absolutely right. But do any of them have anything better than moxie + great coverage + high sp atk/atk stat? I'm not being narrow-minded, I honestly want to what I can use clean up teams as well as scarfed moxie heracross.

You don't need to post damage calcs about guts hera, I'm not thick and neither do I underestimate it's wallbreaking potential. Gligar loses to heracross every time with the guts set, tbh it's acrobatics only helps it to KO the scarf set. I'm just a little annoyed by how people thinks it's easy...

Okay, you have some valid points but which pokemon could take heracross' place as a sweet revenge killer and guts wallbreaker in RU? Because by banning hera due to the guts set, you're also losing a great revenge killer and late game cleaner.

The glaring issue that I see here is you assume guts (flame orb) heracross to be a nigh invincible threat in the RU metagame when it's only really threatening once it's checks have been knocked out. Yes, Heracross is S rank but that doesn't mean it's not fallible. To put this into context, let's...

Heracross isn't a key mon in this tier? Dude, I know you're the RU tour champ but you can't just ignore the facts. Heracross serves as one of the best revenge killers in RU metagame, nobody does it's job better than it Honchkrow comes at a close second but it's still outclassed by Heracross (as...

Yeah I completely agree, I think Smogon are a little unclear as to why pokemon get moved up from tiers. They should openly state that pokemon that outright dominate the tier they're in or cause it to become centralised need to suspect tested and then banned to the tier above. Heracross is...
