At +6 HP Fighting should be a fairly solid 2hko against 252/0 Bold Chansey, which is Chansey's standard spread.

Jolly LO Darm 2hkos Gligar anyway, and isn't setup bait for being choice locked. Wishpass pass for one. Or thunder wave, which is not a poor option at all and would have value in precisely this sort of situation. You listed a handful of very powerful physical attackers that can break through...

Ok, so you literally picked the two strongest physical attackers in the tier, gave them a choice band (CB Darm sucks btw), had them use Superpower, and neither of them could guarantee a ohko on Chansey without rocks up. Gee, that seems a little ridiculous. If Chansey is supposed to wall...

Top being used so much doesn't surprise me on its own - its one of two viable spinners in this tier (Claydol doesn't count). People using him more than Blastoise is very surprising though. Blastoise is pretty meh outside of being able to spin himself but he does serve as a pretty solid check to...

This isn't really unique to Roserade though, Fire types are pretty much always the weak link in a FWG core because fire is such a poor defensive typing. A Shaymin with leftovers can still strip over half the health off Darmatian or Chandy with Seed Flare if rocks are up.

I'm interested in whats going on with three RU alumni not named Gligar that rose to UU recently, Honchkrow, Sharpedo, and Claydol. Where Gligar has made waves these guys have hardly made a ripple. Sharpedo has been the most successful of the three, if the 1337 stats are to be believed, and...

Something that often goes unmentioned in discussions about Stoutland is what a bulky little fuck he is. 85/90/90 is a really solid defensive spread, for comparison look at a classic bulky attacker, Machamp, who is sitting at 90/80/85. Its often unnecessary but Stoutland can take what he dishes out.

Dragon Dance and Specs Kingdra are good sets that have their uses, but the the special Rain Dance variants are the only ones that are truly difficult to contend with. Still, it not only requires a turn of setup but it has a handful of checks/counters that prevent it from sweeping unless...

In this scenario you could just taunt crobat as it switches in and set up some more spikes.

If I were to run Arcanine at all I'd run a Choice Band set, which doesn't compromise his bulk or coverage while giving him the strongest possible ExtremeSpeed to abuse (which is the only reason you would ever run him in the first place). Even then you're hitting about as hard as Scarf...

So, fire types. Playing over the past few weeks I've noticed that Chandy and Darmatian seem to completely dominate the niche for fire types nowadays, with the odd Victini or even Houndoom occasionally thrown into the mix. Arcanine is MIA and has been ever since Darm dropped down.....but oddly...

The first thing that comes to mind is that he has 20 greater base speed than the fastest thing on that list and outspeeds virtually the entire tier. Xatu's presence doesn't really do much to diminish Deoxys-D's potency though, and is probably only used as much as it is due to Deoxys-D being...

The problem with using Tangrowth as sort of a physically defensive alternative to Roserade is that most of the physical attackers in the tier can outspeed and 1hko or 2hko Tangrowth with their stabs, run mixed or special sets that accomplish the same thing, or setup on him. Roserade can outrun...

Meh, I run Sub-Split Chandy along with a spinner, and he loves him some Deoxys-D to switch in on and set up a sub. On a related note, has anyone else noticed more people using non-choiced Heracross lately ? I've been caught with my pants down a few times by switching Deoxy-D out and my bug...

Forget Shell Smash, I want tutors that can teach Rapid Spin.

You could probably scare Ttar out with Mamoswine or Metagross then set up rocks on the switch. Thing is, without a boosting item neither can get actually get a OHKO on a Tyranitar with max hp investment.
