The idea for this team came when I noticed that the new paradox pokemon Walking Wake worked well in both rain and sun. Normally running two weathers on one team is a little counter intuitive however both weathers have their own strengths and weaknesses, so running both allows incredible...

Something I noticed on the pastebin is that heracross can now learn arm thrust. If the move gets a base power boost and heracross gets access to its mega again it will finally have access to a fighting stab that can take advantage of skill link. just something i found interesting

I've seen a lot of people on this thread talk a lot of how H-Decidueye is bad compared to its normal form and while I admit it doesn't look as strong as I'd like it to be, I'd like to say some good things about it, as I still love decidueye. Many people point out that it's grass/fighting typing...

Scarf infernape is a solid revenge killer due to the fact it out speeds the numerous fast psychics like starmie, laties and alakazam, but I feel if you're gonna be scarf, you should run thunder punch instead of mach punch. The extra coverage is better for water types (especially gyarados and...

Solid team, since it features powerful special and physical tanks that can take hits and deal them back. The biggest threats I can think of for your team would be powerful wallbreakers like scarf lele, specs dragapult and specs kyurem, as they are hard for even bulky mons to switch into safely...

Overall, really solid team. I would only suggest two things. Since the combo of tangrowth, dragonite and landorus serve as great physical defenders, i would suggest you drop the bold nature on clefable and run full special defense, since it would serve you well as a special wall and give you a...

Reading about peoples opinions on how HDB affects the meta got me to think, how does everyone feel about the idea of a item clause? I know its not going to happen and personally I dont think we need it, but I would like to hear peoples opinions about this, as it would really affect certain...

I agree, either choice band for raw power or assault vest for extra Sdef are better items for melmetal. I would get rid of choice scarf on landorus, as since you only put scarf of offensive sets with u-turn. HD boots to better deal with stealth rocks, is a good option, or leftovers for recovery.

Nidoking is perhaps my favorite pokemon so seeing it get the love it deserves is awesome. Overall solid team with a good three offense three defense core. The lack of a way to deal with hazards isnt a huge deal seeing as you dont have any pokemon weak to hazards, but it should still be dealt...

Overall a solid team. Toxtricity isnt used much in ou since due to its poor speed and weakness laden typing, it's a bit hit or miss. However i personally like it and if your adamant about using it, go for it, as it punishes many popular walls like toxapex, corv/skarm, clef and the sometimes the...

Hi, overall a pretty solid team, so i'll just give you my thoughts. first, since you already have a physical wall in tangrowth, I suggest replacing skarmory with corviknight. while skarmory is better on physical defense, the added special defense on corv is noticble against lele and kyurem...

I dont necessarily agree, as while boots seems like an item you can just slap on to make a mon usable, there are some obvious downsides to them. First, knock off is still in the game, and it is very prevalent and widespread. The chance to have this important item completely removed is a good...

I have two thoughts: 1st, you could slot in heatwave on tornadus to better deal with metal birds and really punish kartana. you could swap taunt for heatwave, and the burn chance is nice for any mons trying to come in. 2nd, scizor isnt a perfect check to tapu lele, as it has it's psychic...

I think this team is solid, especially since kyruem and urshifu cover eachother pretty well. Kyurem is hard to work with at times due to mediocre speed which compounds the issue of having a hard time switching in along with weakness to hazards, but these can slightly be mitigated with either...

I think celesteela should be physical defense since moltres is the more special defense. In fact i think you'll have an easier time with nasty plot hydreigon/Latios if you run mystical fire over flamethrower since even if they switch in they suffer a spe-def drop. This also makes dealing with...

That's a solid point, but ice beam is still a decent option. With it your guaranteed a kill on max health lando, have a good chance to ohko max health garchomp, and have a chance to two shot latios, zapdos and hydreigon, mons that without set-up cant even do much to slowking. Granted, the speed...

There really is no perfect answer to that, as these mons are so powerful even their checks have a hard time switching in. Its best to figure out the set and play careful yet be willing to make sacrifices since most teams will revolve around these pokemon sweeping. For example, both of these mons...

Here are my thoughts. For starters, I think you can drop protect on torkoal, since it doesn't even have leftovers, and use scorching sands, since ground coverage is really good, especially against fire immune heatran. Also drop heavy duty boots for heat rock to make sure the sun stays up as long...

I agree that Latios is super good, but it has a hard time in ou. Its power and coverage means its a great wallbreaker that most mons cant switch into, but mons like blissey, mandibuzz, volcarona, dragapult and now especially spectrier give it just too much issue. If and when spectrier is banned...

Yeah, scale shot can be inconsistent, but if pulled off correctly you can bowl over some teams, if you want easier setup however, substitute swords dance is also a good option. Btw ferrothorn could also benefit from protect, since if you have toxic and leech seed and leftovers, protect allows...
