As a pivot, spike setter, and getting helmet and iron barbs damage to weaken the opponent to get a ko with another mon. edit: I just checked and rocky helmet has been mentioned in the last three gens.

Can Rocky Helmet get a slash or a mention? I feel like I get more mileage out of helmet ferro on hyper offense teams

Shouldn’t this say 1.5x?

What is a good set for a lead ttar? I just need a SR setter, and I already have a CB pursuit scizor, so pursuit isn't really mandatory on ttar.

I would like to second volt switch/u-turn. Not only does it allow you to gain momentum, but it can hit switch-ins for nice damage while also letting you pick a better match up. For example, if your opponent knows your landorus is scarfed and thinks you are going to EQ their Heatran, they might...

Thanks for the help everyone. I hit 1600 earlier thanks to Thundurus, which is the highest I've ever been on the OU ladder. Still deciding between klefki and bronzong, and I haven't tried zapdos yet, it'll be interesting to see how well a team with two electric/flying types works out.

Thanks that helps a lot! Is explosion a good option over gyro ball for Bronzong? Gyro ball could be incredibly weak against some mons that could set up and explosion would let me get a free switch in? Thanks for the help though I'm going to test this out and then I'll try to get a SR Bronzong.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a Thundurus? I have a timid HP ice Thundurus-I but I'm not sure what to run on it.

I can't really replace chandelure with arcanine because I lose the ability to spam shadow ball and arcanine is either to weak or too slow. You can give it a scarf or choice band but its power output will either be too low or it will get outsped. I'd like to leave Arcanine in UU.

Hmm I would like to use Deoxys, but I don't really have a way to get it in game. What do you think about: Klefki @ Leftovers Ability: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 4 SDef / 252 Def Bold Nature - Foul Play - Thunder Wave - Spikes - Confide/Torment/Psych Up? Confide would help my gyarados come in and...

I'm doing pretty decent with this team as I've never really been a great singles player, but setting up win conditions with Gyarados is how I play most of my games, although Chandelure can win games by spamming shadow ball after the other team gets weakened. This doesn't happen often though and...

HP fire Magnezone and something at baits Ferrothorn like Gyarados or Starmie.

Does Aegislash really need supporting teammates or does it function by itself no matter what?

I'm using Hitmontop as an Assault Vest bulky rapid spinner. Would Revenge be a better alternative to Close Combat? Or should I just use CC to be safe? I'm using Rapid Spin, Close Combat, Rock Slide, Earthquake.

I usually play VGC, but the lack of events makes me want to start practicing OU so I can play tournaments more often. My main issue is I haven't really played singles in about a year, so I am a little rusty when it comes to this metagame. Regardless, I've played about 15 matches with this team...

Mega Venusaur is meant to be more of a wall, sun venusaur is meant to sleep and sweep. The most common venusaur set I see is leech seed/sleep powder/Giga drain/sludge bomb(or protect) It kinda works the same way ferrothorn does which is if you can focus on the threats venusaur can win you the...

That sounds like it would work more, but I don't really use U-turn unless they are neutral and in the red anyway. It is kinda there just to finish them off or break the sash and switch to a better matchup. I also don't feel like training one lol. But the moment U-turn is 1 HP from a kill you bet...

Completely forgot about that. I was trying to cover my basis and left out using rotom. I think I might put in my banded azumarill I use for doubles and switch scizor to a SD lum set. I think I might take out Aegislash.

Hello all, I usually play VGC and I am currently trying to get my rank up on all of the ladders. So far I've only really make progress with doubles by making top 20 in the US at the moment. I've done pretty well with triples and rotations since prediction matter more than the meta and team...
