MegaZam, only having 65 base defence and 60 hp, takes only 50% from technician stab boosted Mach punch from Breloom, a pokemon who likely has good investment in attack IVs? I'll take that for comparable attacking stats to the special side of Deoxy-A. Especially when you consider it yoinks any...

I'm not trying to troll you, so lets get that out of the way first. Now then, does ME shadow tag stop switches before they happen, or no? Because when you are sending him in to revenge kill something, its a bit necessary for whatever you are trying to kill to still be there when you go to kill...

Its not a "why would he" its a "does he have a choice?" EQ is pretty standard issue, I can't really think of any particular pokemon that sit in ubers that aren't packing at least that much power. As far as "best revenge killer", I don't know about that either. Alakazam not only outpacing it but...

Maybe I'm the off-guy here, but I personally see Mega Gengar as a good OU but far far from Ubers. Just the loss of levitate, opening it up to get checked by EQ (which is practically a pre-requisite to be in ubers) makes it hell for him. Because of Levi, he would only be stoppable with...

If jynx uses destiny bond, it'll come second iirc. If the opponet isn scarfed, they can just stall a turn and priority you before you reactivate it.

Ice typing is kinda bad. Parasect has the benefit of rain cutting its x4 weakness. Add in that it resists a few of the common priorities like mach and whatnot. Spore too, yeah.

Sandslash has stealth rock, sand rush, rapid spin... Decent enough bulk. Point being its fast enough to avoid some common threats, and your "getting in free" loses out to entry hazards which you'd be coming in to stop. What good does stealth rock do donphan when he is too slow to do anything...

I dont think you grasp what I'm saying. I'm aware of excadrill and its existance as well as its ability. I'm not talking about excadrill. Reread what I said please, and note it says "In donphans case". I know how well excadrill does. I know its skills. Donphan is heavily outclassed by exca...

I never said he does, I was just saying, in donphans case, when your niche as a spinner is better served by a sandslash... you prob need to find a new niche.

I wouldn't mind donphan if it werent for his 3 weaknesses being common and his 3 resistances being not-as-common. Sandslash, as far as dreamworld goes, at least gets sand rush. Gives it a certain niche as a fast spinner with only slightly worse bulk than donphan. But to sum it up, I dont...

Fair enough. I appreciate your ideals on the matter. I believe that he can be effective, especially when packing fire punch. Maybe he isnt made for OU, but I enjoy the diversity he brings. :)

I am aware. I use haxorus as well, I'm simply saying if speed is an issue, how is it that slower pokemon with worse movepools and/or less power can manage more? Also jw, I'm a bit new to the scene but where does Fire/Earth fall short on? I guess Gyrados, but with smackdown its taken care of...

I can understand cryo... But, not to argue just for the sake of knowing, why not ursaring? Not much will stand up to a boosted x2 facade, and his nice moveset and good attack can have him work as a counter for just about anything. Saves up a spot or two on your team for that...

D: I dont like that ursaring is on that list. Maybe its just me, but with the addition of smack down, he feels a lot more useful. My moveset is - Guts -- Flame orb or Toxic Orb (Toxic gives less of a start, so one-turning for the boost and then switching is good countermeasure) Earthquake...
