Cinccino can be taken out by Deoxys-S Superpower which is another very common move packed on lead Deoxys-S and a pretty much garunteed on any offensive Deoxys set in general. It's the only reason Tyranitar should be afraid to lead against it as it will KO and not allow it to 1HKO it while it...

I personally like the Gravity set with Earth Power/Focus Blast/ Gravity/ Psychic using Gravity on forced switches and being able to most likely OHKO or 2HKO certain counters and checks barring Blissey but it does make Focus Blast nice and accurate for anything else it might need to hit like T-tar
Numbers changed to mimic Floette E's stats and moonblast to 150 BP
252+ SpA Choice Specs Floette Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Registeel: 105-125 (28.8 - 34.3%) -- 99.7% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
52+ SpA Choice Specs Floette Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Nidoqueen: 156-185...
Thanks guys, I've been running Mega-Pinsir similarly to Talonflame because it doesnt lose 50% on switch in to knock off, but I didn't even notice my overbearing rock weakness so I'm thinking of imrpovising a spinner onto the team as I like to have a Deoxys lead with the entry hazards but that's...
Its utility seems rather small, for how small its offensive pressure is. If you aren't running trick room you're left with very little, namely rocks, Diamond Storm, toxic and protect? I just don't see it working out with that x4 weakness to steel.
It still looks rather underwhelming for UU given the things that can resist it and the dragons Hydreigon and Haxorus have their answers to it, as for something like Umbreon, Zapdos, Blastoise a specs set seems to loosen them up quite nicely
Having problems dealing with AV Conk when using Sub 3 attacks due to special set. What should I pair with to try and counter/check the standard AV Conk to give my Kyurem more breathing move?
I honestly like STAB Knock Off, even without attack investment, just having IV's it can put some pretty nice dents into things that aren't mega. Checks and counters plenty of reasonable threats depending on sets. Aegislash can be handled, only taking any damage off a Special Aegis's Flash...
Well, there isn't much problem with confusion in general. You don't see riots happening over Machamps Dynamic Punch because he's slow, and even scarfed it loses to priority and ghosts. Which leads me to believe that Priority + Confusion is a problem, how much of a problem? Well who knows...
Honestly I wonder of a meta-game without priority seeping out of every team like it was the same basis of a team as weather use to be, I really do enjoy Mega-Wile but nothing seems more saddening that a Talonflame being swapped in at some point and never knowing whether to Sucker Punch on a...
Choice Scarf seems to be becoming the niche that priority once was, something that's nice to have from time to time but no matter how many life orbs you gave your Breloom it wasn't going to put more work in than specs Keldeo and whatever took out Specs Keldeo after something died before your...
