Can't be tested yet because Showdown still lists new tutor moves as illegal, but I see no reason why this wouldn't work. Diggersby @ Focus Sash Ability: Huge Power EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def Adamant nature -Earthquake -Quick Attack -Endeavor -Spikes Compare and contrast with lead...

Why is Techno Blast used over Judgment? Both have the same base power (once the plate boost is taken into account) and Techno Blast has less PP. As for imposters with plates, are imposters with the correct plate (or any plate apart from Spooky) really common enough to justify it?

You mega evolve and Encore on the same turn as you predict the move, which prevents any chance of escape. Sorry, that wasn't really clear. Correct, sadly.

Having doubts about how broken Shadow Tag is? Let me clear those right up. Gengar-Mega @ Gengarite Ability: Illusion EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Oblivion Wing - Encore - Quiver Dance - Substitute Here it is, the most potent set I've used in any metagame ever. It...

With 180/150 attacking stats and a Fire typing, Contrary would work well for a start. Imposters would be a problem though. Speaking of the primal abilities, anyone know whether Delta Stream actually provides Electric/Ice/Rock resistance to the ability holder or simply negates those weaknesses...

If it's RestTalk, you've only got to worry about walling one move. If it's not, you can poison it. I'm okay with that.

I can see Toxic Spikes rising in usage (defining 'rising in usage' as the following: i'll be using it) to provide a Mega Slowbro deterrent. And since it uses up the mega slot, that means the two most prominent Poison types, Mega Venusaur and (probably) Mega Beedrill, will never be seen alongside it.

Sure it could, but Imprison can block things like U-Turn and Knock Off too. They both have their merits.

I use this set except with U-Turn over Earthquake, it's an interesting twist on the usual Landorus sets. Worked better when Deoxys was still a thing though. Also, I'd like to point out that Azelf can run the same set for a faster Imprison at the cost of bulk. Make of that what you will.

...two out of three of which are still vulnerable to Pursuit.

I'd like to point out that every viable user of Future Sight or Doom Desire is weak to Pursuit. If you try this hit-and-run thing, which is the only use of the moves that makes sense in my mind, you're going to get slammed by a Tyranitar or Bisharp that saw your Psychic typing and decided to...

Less argument, more discussion about Role Play Landorus. Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 120 Atk / 136 Spd (very flexible; max HP because I like my Landorus bulky, enough Speed to outrun Greninja that's been Rock Tombed on the switch, rest in Atk) Adamant Nature...

As unusual as this looks, I've tested it and it works extremely well. Meloetta @ Leftovers Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Thunder - Calm Mind - Rest - Snore In this set, you've got 404/278/293 bulk, setup sweeping, recovery, status absorption...

On the subject, I'll post something I've tried personally and it sometimes sweeps and sometimes serves as nothing but a dead weight. Presenting Critpedo. Sharpedo @ Life Orb Ability: Speed Boost EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Adamant Nature -Night Slash -Slash/Waterfall/Earthquake...

My favourite offensive core right now: CB Genesect (stolen from creative movesets thread, truley sory xoxoxo)/Specs Porygon-Z. Opposing Download can be played with by tweaking your defensive EVs to make it boost the unused attack stat, but DOUBLE Download is nothing to laugh at, especially not...

http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-ou-77488284 I can't believe how turns 21 onwards panned out. That lucky (unusual) Tangela stuck around way too long for its own good. Honestly thought I was going to lose.

Aegislash @ Red Card Ability: Stance Change EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd Adamant Nature - Iron Head - Sacred Sword - Shadow Sneak - Swords Dance You come in unharmed, either on an immunity, after a KO or off a slower Volt-Turn and start boosting, since Aegislash is so good at forcing...

Now that Cofagrigus gets Toxic Spikes, it is now possible to make a mono-Ghost team with Spikes, Toxic Spikes and Stealth Rock. Let that sink in for a moment. in my reality defog doesn't exist

Aggron is attacked, the attacker is forced out by Red Card, the new Pokémon takes the damage. Which, if it's taken to Sturdy level, is enough to OHKO anything that isn't a pink blob. Unreliable, but loads of fun. Plus, if you accidentally reveal Metal Burst before you get attacked, you can play...
