I've been running a physdef version of this set (paired with the same Clodsire set you're using) and think Garganacl is going to be one of the premier new defensive mons of this generation. It has rocks. It has recover. It has status immunity (!!!) along with a bonus ghost resistance from its...

Some more support for :nihilego: to C+ based off a straightforward cleaner set I’ve been using: Nihilego @ Power Herb Ability: Beast Boost EVs: 80 Def / 176 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Meteor Beam - Sludge Wave - Grass Knot - Psyshock Remove priority users and chip steels before bringing this...

Thanks for the feedback y'all! Brembo that may have been me if you're in Europe :bloblul: and you're right that Urshifu can 2HKO physically-defensive Clefable with Iron Head, but it's such a big commitment to go for... I rarely feel like I'm in a position where I can throw it out without...

Hi everyone! This is my first RMT, and first time playing OU with intent in... quite some time. I already have a few thoughts for edits once the second DLC is out since the team has lots of weaknesses, but for now it's doing quite well as I was able to crack top 150 on the ladder. Would really...

How exactly does Alomomola get U-turn?

I used to run SubPunch but didn't like using up a slot for substitute, Mawile is too slow to get it up anywhere besides a switch and his low HP means I'm better of BPing subs from Vaporeon. Most of the time you're using Focus Punch is when you know there will be a switch or are predicting a...

Max speed Mawile is a gimmick imo, I tried it for a while with SD and Brick Break to lure and OHKO Heatran. While it did eliminate those that weren't trying to speed creep maxed base 50s (which seems to be getting more and more popular), I had to sacrifice either power or bulk, both of which...

Yes, and for easing prediction on the many switches you'll force it's good, but once again you lack the broader power (SD) and the coverage (FF) of alternate options that don't sacrifice 1/4th of your HP. This is mainly an issue for M-Venusaur, who flat-out loses when it switches in on SD. Fair...

Focus Punch is -3 priority whereas Roar is -6, so you don't need to worry about that with Heatran. Although FP will OHKO Heatran whereas BB won't unless you have a SD up. My issue with Sub M-Mawile is that it lacks recovery and a fair amount of things can force it out, while without SD you...

I just ran the calcs on 252/252+ Rotom-W, a Jolly (216 EVs to outspeed, since everything else between base 86 and base 91 runs speed so you won't be beating them) +2 M-Mawile will OHKO with Play Rough as long as you have 92 or more Atk EVs. That doesn't seem right, but I'll take the calculator's...

Nope, adamant 252Spe base 50s hit 199, neutral-natured 0Spe base 80s hit 196. Base 81 (Gyarados) hits 199 but they usually run speed. IMO, Jolly is a bit too gimmicky since you're giving up on a whole bunch of power. It brings you up to 218 which outspeeds neutral-natured base 90s with no EVs...

I used to run SubPunch, but now I'm trying SD + Brick Break with Adamant and max speed (enough speed to outrun neutral base 80s + 1 point of speed creep). Mawile lures in Heatran like crazy so I get a safe SD on the switch and then can OHKO before they strike, without sacrificing 1/4 of my HP to...

Swagger is a tutor move in Emerald, and Foul Play is a tutor move in BW2, so it should be fine. Psych Up has been an egg move since Gen3 so that works on this set as well.

I've used Scolipede and Vaporeon with BP and it's been pretty helpful so far. Scolipede basically guarantees the option to pass at least one speed boost, and with a reasonable attack stat + SD it also has passable offensive presence (useful if you're expecting a Taunt). Scolipede's weakness to...

Maximize your EV investment in HP before looking at adding EVs to either of the defensive stats. Someone posted comparisons earlier in the thread, but maxing HP is basically the same as maxing both Def and SpD. Other than that, I'm still not quite sold on Iron Head as a coverage move but that...

Agreed with Treecko. On Focus Punch, it's great when you have the prediction and also hits harder than STAB Play Rough (not to mention 100% accuracy), but I'm not a huge fan of M-Mawile against Ferrothorn seeing how so many of them run iron barbs + rocky helmet to do almost 1/3rd (1/8 + 1/6 =...

+1 for Focus Punch as coverage. It hits harder than Play Rough against things like Rotom-W and hits steels better than Fire Fang overall. 2x FF is weaker than FP, so you hit Skarmory/Heatran/Ferrothorn harder on the switch (2HKO on the first, OHKOs on the other two) and miss out slightly on...

I'd go with Fire Fang over Brick Break unless you really dislike screens. Hits more pokemon for 4x and Brick Break won't be getting you KOs on the switch vs Pokemon that threaten you but are hit harder by it than by Fire Fang, ex. Heatran. T-tar and other dark types can be covered by Play Rough...

So I've been running M-Mawile a bunch (sub/FocusPunch/PlayRough/SuckerPunch, 92 speed EVs) on an all-gen team, and was wondering what type of support others ran on their teams to help M-Mawile get going. Dual screens + Trick Room setup is working out well for me, but I feel like it would be...
