Volcarona's defensive and offensive checks are limited compared to other sweepers. As i stated in the first post, I think it's limiting in the team builder not that there isn't counterplay. And Lando/Chomp will hardly be the only check to Volc on a team, I think that speaks to it's grip in game...

I'll try answering one by one. Spdef are the 2 mons in this list I didn't fully consider when writing the post. They are certainly decent checks but they're also 2 of the easiest mons to chip into range as they're commonly used to check a number of metagame threats. dies on switch in with...

Can someone explain to me why volcarona isn't banned? It has literally 3 checks in the tier, not counting rain. Those being; Dragonite which loses 50%HP and gets burned to kill it, Heatran which is forced to run Taunt Toxic because any other set loses to Sub or Safeguard Volc and Tyranitar...

Thanks for the suggestion! Earth Power is certainly the most powerful choice overall but I need Earthquake to threaten AV Slowking-G.

It's been a while since I played SS OU, I just recently came back to smogon with the launch of BDSP and learned alot about teambuilding from Blimax. Recently the tier's become stale so I thought I'd have a go at SS especially since the brokens are banned now. I decided on stall because I don't...

Unpopular opinion but, someone had to say it... SLEEP HAS TO GO!!! Insta ko's are uncompetitive... enough said. But ill deliberate further in hopes of convincing some skeptics. I don't think sleep is fundamentally broken, it's a fine mechanic on its own but it's place in the meta game is...

Only thing I'd like to add is trick on victini, it can be invaluable against stall and other supportive annoyances but overall it looks like a super cool team. Oh, and I'm pretty sure I met you on the ladder, turns out "Yeet Cannon" is a pretty memorable name...

Yea kings rock is a really cool set but I find it hard to setup consistently so opted for sash

Intro: I came up with this team yesterday and have been thoroughly enjoying playing it on the ladder. I'm a new player so climbing isn't really my goal but nevertheless this team got me to the 1500's which is the highest I've gotten. It features Cloyster under psychic terrain as the main wincon...
