i might even consider putting exeggutor-a on trick room before sun if you really want to use it. I tried a specs set earlier in the gen, and it was ok... i guess, but i feel like its job could be done better by a lot of things

:ss/tyranitar: band ttar Tyranitar @ Choice Band Level: 100 Adamant Nature Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe - Stone Edge - Crunch - Fire Punch - Heavy Slam Banded tyranitar is capable of taking this core apart with its combination of raw power and great coverage options...

:ss/quagsire: lets put every water/ground we can here. quagsire laughs at zeraora, and the bit of special defense investment means that eruption isn't a 2HKO even without lefties if both quagsire and heatran are full health, and quagsire doesn't have leftovers. SR shouldn't be a problem, since...

...here, like goltres,demon mew,volcarona(could be good since heatran is a common switch into victini, and usually a team's primary volc counter), *insert dangerous setup sweeper here* They biggest key is to strike hard and fast, and unbalance the enough before they realise exactly what each...

tbf kartana and rillaboom are also some of its biggest partners in crime, since grass spam is one of the teamstyles that swampert fits onto the best

I'm really happy people are talking about demon mew here, as its a great wincon IMO(ok, maybe happy isnt the word, my favorite team gets absolutely 6-0d by taunt variants of it, so an intense hatred is probably the better descriptor). IMO, the thing that should be stated here is just how...

Yh, it seems the only reason these things are not banned are because they are not consistently good/used enough; and every gen if they get good/used enough they get banned, so there is not point in not banning them if they are only not banned because they are not used,and will probably get...

is 7-1 a decent enough start for a suspect test? havent really tried any until now

Hippowdon @ Rocky Helmet/Leftovers Level: 100 Impish Nature Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD - Earthquake - Slack Off - Stealth Rock - Toxic While most hippos have been specially defensive in the crown tundra, physically defensive hippo is a pretty decent answer to this core...

uturn+NP (also seeing subsalac takes me way back to recommending it, glad its been treating you well :blobuwu:)

:ss/xatu: Xatu @ Colbur Berry Level: 100 Bold Nature Ability: Magic Bounce EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD - Night Shade - Roost - Teleport - Heat Wave Xatu can easily prevent any kind of hazards coming in from both of these mons, while also being immune to leech seed and toxic because of magic...

Gastrodon is also really good, and i have seen air baloon ditto used

thanks a lot for the kind words, they are really appreciated. I agree with your skarm assessment, it is a matter of preference mostly, corvi lets you check a bit more(most importantly tapu lele), and replacing it with skarm is definitely a tradeoff that forces you to play a more predictive game...

Gotta say this general team comp of bliss/pex/quag/dragonite/metal bird is my favorite type of stall this gen by far,and is definitely the one that I would suggest to most players starting out with stall, as it's both very intuitive to pilot and not as MU fishy as some other stall archetypes...

just a few small things I noticed: xatu is listed as a defensive pivot, but not as a magic bouncer blaziken is not listed under swords dance setup now for some ideas(which may or may not be accepted): I saw some slurpuff also playing with sticky web, so it might be put there It would be pretty...

great answer, just to add to it, everyone and their mother is using lando-t, which gzap can abuse heavily, as basically nothing switches into band after it gets a defiant boost

could someone run me through the differences in scarf and band gapdos(the way they are used and their respective merits) please?

for your first point about something good vs lele and ice types, scizor is a viable, if a bit high maintenance cost mon which performs decently well into lele,kyurem and hail. for your second point, and now I'm going to say something a bit out there, but AV ttar with heavy slam is actually a...
