How does stall prepare for gholdengo? Pex is nailed by thunderbolt, Quag is a shaky check, clodsire is forced to go unaware, meaning it can't check Urshifu, which, by the way, is very hard to check. It seems you need both clodsire and pex to check both. Are there other options? This duo still...

Thanks for the suggestions! Gholdengo is already fairly bulky because I need it in order to check Lele. I also need NP in order to threaten Tyranitar so that it can't pursuit-trap Gholdengo, which could spell ruin if they have Lele. I could probably drop Twave on Clefable for stealth rock, and...

I wanted to change up my stall lineup a little, so I started wondering what alternative checks I could find to Tapu Lele, as I often find myself dedicating a slot on my team to a Lele check. Gholdengo looked promising, and it delivers. Pokepaste: https://pokepast.es/090375db1857e088 Gholdengo...

New post for an unrelated question: is self-inflicted damage from curse affected by typing? Are fixed damage moves affected by typing?

Uhh... on that note, any defensive checks to LO Hoopa?

No problem

If yiu could NatDex OMs, that'd be awesome. I understand that this takes a lot of time, time you could spend working. Are you taking donations for this project of yours?

Are there any bots I can challenge on the main server? I tried Abyssalbot on ROM, but it has hardly any Gen 9 OMs, and no NatDex OMs. I wanted to battle a bot because there are lots of metas but few metas have enough people on the ladder to play with.

Why can't mono-electric types have Electric Surge (Pinchurchin) or U-Turn (Eeelektross). Interestingly, they can learn Eelektross' other moves.

How might one infer, based on an opponents team, if their Lando has flynium z or rocking z (assuming it has either one at all)?

I already have Chansey, but it's hardly a good check to specs and cm sets

What are options are available for checks to Tapu Lele, particularly for stall teams? I have a slot on my team that's pretty open, just has to check Lele and preferably have some offensive presence. I have been using PowerPress Mew, which checks Lele well, but hardly gets a chance to set up.

Thanks! I might try something creative, or just use Alomomola. I was participating in the suspect test, might just wait it out.

What are Stall's best checks to Gouging Fire? It seems limiting. As I see it, there are 4 options: Alomomola, Dondonzo, Pyukumuku, and Ting-lu. Alomomola requires chilling water to 1v1 dd Gouging Fire, but it's not a great move choice otherwise. This means you need a second check for dd sets...

I'll give HO a try - what a 180 from stall
