I immediately thought of washtom or Heattom as well- he generally forces Mamo out anyways with the threat of his stab and can get the team's hazard removal in

You can run jolly Gatr to creep things like Lucario before DD, but you miss out on a lot of other OHKOs that are crucial, and the speed gained along with one Dragon Dance (at 382 with Adamant, 420 with Jolly I blv) only hits a few more scarfers that you really shouldn't be trying to sweep with...

Calling act, opponent Blaazen hasn't been online since wednesday and hasn't responded to my post on his public wall

Contacted opponent

The main sets would definitely be scarfed Technician or Sub Poison Heal. These sets already have strong niche roles outside of spore usage due to Breloom's unique typing in this metagame, and decent coverage. These sets certainly wouldn't be as threatening as a Spore, but Rock Tomb on the switch...

Opponent gave me win, gl to them

They mostly thought Latios was unbalanced but they let everyone suspect it, did not quickban it, and are doing the same for Manaphy here. This isn't a democracy, it's a council- and they have the power to choose whether they put it to a quickban vote or a suspect test. They don't have to give...

Won in 2 with Ara ara who was a gentleman and a scholar replays available if needed

I respect your opinion Spookz but tbh what JTD783 said really summed it up for me: no team I've built has had gliscor specifically in mind when picking mons, moves, or EV's. Ice is super prevalent, water is just always good, and both take Gliscor out in 1-2 turns, 3 if he has protect. Every...

Gengar is squishy but has nasty plot and great coverage options. 350 speed too which is nice Latias, Kingdra, Flygon, or suboptimal Dragonite can all throw specs draco meteor around if that's what you're after. Lowkey, if Latios has to go Uber, everyone will literally just spraypaint him red...

Here it is, just a little further down if you scroll on the subforum :-) https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/bdsp-ou-viability-list.3693620/ Edit: and the personal ranking thread: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/personal-bdsp-ou-viability-rankings.3694126/

Anyone used both Espeon and Xatu and got an opinion on which is better as a lead? I've seen people rate espeon higher in viability rankings, and she has significantly better speed/attack, but Xatu looks like it has a substantially bigger bag of utility tricks (and ground immunity).

With Gengar no longer having Levitate (and Focus Miss being a historically game-losing move), I wanted to take a stab at making Mismagius work. Realizing Mis's speed tier is right below serviceable for a setup sweeper, I opted to throw together a Sticky Webs team that aims to set up Mismagius...
