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.
"More stalls not THAT bad of a thing."
You've gone against people who've mostly stall, right? You know how those matches take up really large amounts of time?
Imagine 4/5 of the teams you go against are majority stall, featuring Pokemon like Giratina and Landorus-T on every single one...
Because most defensive teams ARE stall teams. All three of these Pokemon can spread status (IE Toxic) and then phase Pokemon out, plus Heatran can set up stealth rocks which adds MORE chip damage to the end of each turn. Besides, Mega Diancie won't really mean shit if you're also running...
Quite frankly, I think throwing a monstrous mascot legend into OU is a really bad idea, mostly because, odds are, defensive teams are gonna get stronger instead of weaker.
Run a team with Giratina, Heatran, and a dark type like Umbreon, and you already have a terrifyingly strong defensive core...
Well, a thing with Bulk Up/Swords Dance Talonflame is that if you were to switch in Scarf Terrakion/Landorus-T/Jolteon while they were setting up while they had Mummy, it wouldn't really matter because without Gale Wings, it's gonna get outsped by either of them, especially considering nobody...
I didn't say they would get beat by Cofagrigus, I said they could have issues with it. Mega Zard X would lose Tough Claws, and effectively some damage output, and Talonflame would lose Gale Wings, which means you could potentially switch in a fast/scarfed Pokemon with Stone Edge/Rock Slide...
I don't plan on participating in the voting process because I don't have the time and I don't really play singles anymore anyway, but can I just point something out real quick?
I'm not sure if someone's already said this, but Mega Metagross (and a fair amount of the OU metagame) gets easily...
I hope this isn't really considered gimmicky, but seeing how there are physical variations of it's non-mega form I'd like to think that this would be viable.
