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.
yo yo yo, it's time
yes i made joey's in-game team for bdsp uu
couple things to note:
replaced the dialga bc unfortunately it hasn't dropped to uu yet. put in a cloyster because i hate flymence
feel free to modify anything about the team, i literally have never touched 3 of the mons on here...
Hello, BDSP OU thread! After playing the metagame for a bit now, I have some opinions on a few of the Pokemon I've run into, along with some of the discussions noted above. This is particularly from my view only, so there may be a few misconceptions here and there. With that said...
:manaphy...
At first, I felt like leaving my involvement where it was, but I feel the need to solve misinformation when I see it.
252+ SpA Choice Specs Kyurem Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Blissey: 332-392 (46.4 - 54.9%) -- 64.5% chance to 2HKO
Blissey does NOT deal with Focus Blast without Special...
Popping back on to talk about this.
Kyurem requires well-thought out prediction to hit the right Pokemon with Choice Specs, yes. Tyranitar would barely take around 20 from Ice Beam, and a partner Slowking-Galar can take two Ice Beams as well, meaning you have to make careful plays in order to...
Hey! It's been a while. Thought I'd pop in on the Kyurem suspect seeing as it's been here for quite a while and this is a rather important suspect test.
Just went 27-3 on my most recent reqs attempt, gotta start working on not letting that stress get to me.
Now, more importantly...
Get Kyurem...
First off, I'll go ahead and agree with the banning Bright Powder/Evasion Veil movement. There's pretty much no reason for them to be here in this meta, and all they do is cause problems nobody wants to deal with.
I want to comment on the whole, "There's been no defensive Pokemon ban," thing...
I can absolutely understand that Dragapult's prominence in this gen is largely due to how free Ghosts are to dominate with Pursuit being gone and having only one type that resists its stab (not counting Normal's immunity). However, that's not to say Dragapult is only dominating because of its...
252 Atk Choice Band Weavile Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragapult: 236-278 (74.4 - 87.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Weavile doesn't learn Sucker Punch, as far as I know, so this is as close as you're gonna get. Bisharp, on the other hand...
252+ Atk Black Glasses Bisharp Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def...
Oh boy, here we go.
For one, Dragapult is never put on the team as an answer to Substitute. Dragapult is used because it is good offensively and can win the game quickly once their check is dealt with. It CAN beat Substitute Aegislash and Kyurem, but that's only a realistic option if you have...
