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

Are there any playstyles that minimize the need to make risky plays besides stall? I was looking to change things up a bit, and there's not much room for variety with stall right now. I get anxious when taking risks, even just with a game.

I can't get this match off of the front page. I've tried refreshing, closing, and opening a new tab. My name (ND9GFZ Grasshopper) won't show up on the ladder either; I don't know if that's related.

I've been getting back into Showdown lately, and I got a team I like that I would like to get some feedback on. Note that I'm not sure what do with tera types. Here's the team: Sableye-Mega @ Sablenite Ability: Magic Bounce Tera Type: Dark EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 248 SpD / 4 Spe Impish...

How does stall make up for being so passive? I keep making small changes to my team, but it always gets stone-walled by something.

Tier Shift, Inverse, Linked, Scalemons

I have been testing SpD Aegislash with wish support to check Lele, among other things. It hasn't been that successful, and I am wondering if it is just not viable, or the set/team isn't good. What moves should a SpD set use; is it viable?
