Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I was shooting more for balance (hazard stack volt turn), but I admit i cant tell the difference between the two playstyes. I wanted to give Pain Split Rotom a try s I keep momentum flowing
Ok, another question, thanks for the excellent answers (gonna go AV on it). I want to utilize Rotom in some fashion, and unless a case can be made for the other forms I'll most likely be using Wash. That means I problems won't use Alo.
Is there any other Wishpasser worth their salt that isn't Alo?
How is Scizr working out in this current meta? Thinking about using it in a Volt Turn team as extra hazard control with priority. For Balance/Bulky Offense.
Priority is the key, since I need a proper Kyu check. Is Scizor one? Otherwise Iron Threads may be an idea.
I'm curious, if Wellspring were to disappear from the tier(and only wellspring) what would be the immediate consequences? How would Rock and Teal measure up?
What is the Pain Split/Rocky Helmet Hatterene set that I've read about in the viability thread? What teams would it most benefit? Balance? Am I avoiding Knock Off like the plague?
I've heard of CLAM Treads, but it still seems kind of out there, like a byproduct of this crazy meta. What other seemingly "random" item choices have sprung up? Have Protective Pads made any sort of mark in recent times? Things like that.
Is there a defensive Hatterene set for Balance/Bulky Offense with a focus on longevity as opposed to doing damage and getting tfo for her teammates (Healing Wish)?
I'm not expecting magic, but if one wanted to use Hisui Electrode in this tier, could it accomplish things without being dead weight? Extremely fast T-Wave+Volt Switch+Leech Seed seems like it can accomplish things in certain team comps.
For that matter, how is Meow doing lately? Last I've...
How is defensive spiker Gliscor on Balance/Bulky Offense teams? I'm thinking paired with Rotom, a contact mon to punish spinners and a mon to take advantage of Defog (Perhaps Trick Meow or something).
And how is Clefabe at Wishpassing? Not necessarily compaired to Alo, because nothing can, but...
I remember how much I loved this as a momentum preserver via Volt Switch, though I value Luna's ability to tank a status.
EDIT: Sorry, goofed a quoting
I swear, this isn't me beating a dead :Ponyta:. I just never expected Dragonite to be the next one on the chopping block. It's as I said, the lower levels of elo aren't as creative with mainstream Pokemon like Dragonote and Kingambit. I (was, it's been a few months since I've played last)...
