Alomomola is a fine banded bird counter. More than enough durability to switch in and cycle through protect and wish when getting in the odd Scald or Toxic to wear the bird down (who will all ready be killing itself to recoil on Alomomola's massive HP pool) or even just going for a knock off and...

I have only found this to be the case with bulky boosters, and in addition to that, only with attack boosts from Curse. Quagsire doesn't have the offensive capability to kill a Cleric without Curse while they're performing their duties the majority of the time. They can come in on earthquakes...

Wouldn't just fishing for a burn with Scald accomplish the same thing?

Interestingly, I think this thing is actually a perfect BP counter to Denisss' current team. Something like Snarl, Nasty Plot, (move), Recover while being immune to spore, taunt, phasing and stored power, and perpetually reducing the chain's special attack, sub or no, with Nasty Plot boosts...

Why scald/earthquake over scald/toxic? Also, what matchups do you find the instant +2 spD useful in?

If you're looking for a grass infiltrator to ignore spore, I'de suggest whimsicott over Jumpluff. Better move pool, same access to u-turn, better STABs and access to moves like encore. Neither one is very ideal. Preferably, if you're looking for something to soak a spore from smeargle I would go...

I think I love you. As for the list, I feel confidant you can add Chandelure to it as well. Super Effective stab on both Scoliopede and Espeon complimenting its Infiltrator, in addition to access to infiltrator Clear Smog to keep stat boosts handled without being shut down by taunt. Only...

The bolded is straight talking out your ass. Here, a list of all applicable pokemon to fill this capacity. I'm sure you can find one, or ten, not OHKOed by psycho boost. http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/search?move=@us,move:Brick Break&move=&move=&move= Likewise, I'm not sure where you're getting...

It's "plain stupid" in all ways except for much better distribution, can't be Taunted, and kills the turn the threat is removed so said threat can't be re-applied. So, yes, it's stupid for all of the opposite reasons defog currently is coming up short. Damage isn't that important compared to...

May I make a request that you do not reply to my posts if you do not read them? The current complaint is that Dual Screens suicide lead gives too much momentum to the BP player because the non-BP player "has" to waste two turns removing the screen. (One turn to bring in the defog user, a second...

Generally even a non-heavy attack can still break unboosted subs on either of those. Worst case scenario you run BB on something with set damage like Seismic Toss, if it is strictly a support pokemon you have set the move on, or just have it as the 4th attack of an all out attacker, or even a...

This is the point when you read the word "old" in post you quoted and feel silly. Because, obviously, if you're using Brick Break it's your only attack. The fuck, dude. Think before you type.

Well it's a good thing I mentioned that pretty much everything learns brickbreak and it would likely be used best on a support pokemon for the utility and not the main stab of a fighting type. Oi vey.

Not... Really? Brick Break has insane distribution and it isn't like it's a dead attack. 75 BP isn't as bad as old Knock off's, what, 20; and deals the same damage as attacks like Drain Punch. If two teams are identical but one subs out Brick Break on one of their pokemon in place of an all...

Priority Spikes are a thing thanks to our friend Klefki. Regardless, it's not really needed. Infiltrators tear this setup apart and Brick Break is a foolproof measure against this Deo-S suicide lead since he can't exactly keep screens up the turn he dies, taunt or no. As for planning for it...
