Alright boys, as discussed in the BW discord I will refrain from requesting something spicy like darm or volbeat. So Sharpedo it is. Any set is fine, if you want to be boring mixed life orb or full physical are fine. Or you can go the full special bpass recipient route. One request only, do...

First of all, I do agree that Lucario is far too difficult to switch into, and I do believe that it should be banned. However, Zapdos can still be considered a decent check, because it beats the special set utterly and completely, and can still beat the physical set to some extent provided that...

Static can be used on a Defog set to some effectiveness, but Defog isn't Zapdos's best set, which is what I have been trying to make clear.

You seem to forget however, that Zapdos's best set is Sub Roost, not just roost. Which means that he can simply come in on a Lando, Sub 4 times, and win. If Lando doesn't Sedge a Sub at any point, then Zapdos can just Toxic him then and there and continue spamming Sub.

The rain nerf did help Kingdra when compared to what it was at the end of Gen 5, but in all honesty it was pretty trash at then end of that Gen filling a very niche and rather unimportant role. Compared to the beginning of Gen 5 (when Drizzle + SS was legal) it is SIGNIFICANTLY worse. If it...

Also 2 things: For one Static Zapdos is inferior to Pressure in almost every way. One of the main things that hits Zapdos is Stone Edge from the likes of Landoru-T or Tyranitar, and this can be stalled out in just 4 turns with pressure. Zapdos can also pull a Sub-Disable Gengar using Pressure...

First of all Zapdos gets Heat Wave meaning that neither Aegislash or Mega Lucario are safe. Secondly, SD Aegi is not only an inferior and less common set, but it is also horrible with Shadow Claw. Genesect will NEVER have a +spA boost because Zapdos is switching in and has higher spDef than...

I honestly think Zapdos should be B+ rank. He is easily as viable if not more so than the likes of Goodra. Capable of easily walling and beating a plethora of extremely common sets such as mixed Aegislash, most Genesect, Heatran, Deoxys-S, Special Mega Lucario and non-Ice Punch physical...

Also one minor note, but I would recommend Naive over Hasty on Salamence because as a choice scarf Pokemon the main thing you are going to be getting hit by is priority, and almost all priority in OU right now is physical. And to be honest, Salamence is going to be OHKO'd by Ice Beams from...

A few comments: Having a dragon-based hyper offense team in a meta-game with fairy typing is hard enough, but when you consider a lack of serious hazard pressure and the inability to switch in on Play Roughs/Moonblasts with any of your Pokemon, things get significantly harder. As such it is...

Hey, I actually just played against you on the ladder, this team is very solid. One thing I would like to point out (from experience) is that you have some problems with stall in general, but especially SpD Zapdos. Now this pokemon isn't a staple of OU or anything, but it is one of the best...

Congrats Tangy, you have made another top team with... let's say... non-standard things. I wasn't convinced on the assault-vest Torn-T at first, but in this meta a man will do darn near anything to beat Mega-Luc. But it works surprisingly well. Other than that I have little else to say, you...

Very strong looking team, I am quite the fan of sun-stallish teams, they are very underrated. I made a sun-stall that hit #8 myself not too long ago (tho it was more defensive than is yours). I can see spinning being an issue in longer games against more tanky/wall breaking capable teams...
