The current set works better, hydro allows me to chip tankchomp on the switch which otherwise is troublesome for me (too much residual damage) and dbond allows me to beat stall and everything that Keldeo and Dragalge won't kill, because sharpedo can very reliably hit +2 speed before mega.

Bumping, updated with more replays and with Thundurus in the final slot.

Mostly reliability, as my assumption was that you could come in on a no incoming damage turn potentially eat a scarfed hit and retaliate. Shadow Ball also hits all your Gengars and M-Medichams and Lati@s, which are mons that Zam usually isn't able to revenge kill.

Kind of, but it's way of countering TTar or any other sand user is much more limited.

Huh nvm then, I could have sworn I saw someone use this recently.

Alakazam @ Focus Sash Ability: Magic Guard EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Psychic - Shadow Ball/Dazzling Gleam - Hidden Power Ice/Dazzling Gleam - Counter I checked if this was posted and didn't find anything. Counter really helps giving revenge killer Zam reliability AND a...

There's a guy called Marcoco that runs a variation of this core with triple weather and scarf Roserade over Heliolisk.

Pretty much, yeah. Slowking has more "traditional" coverage over Reuniclus but the fact that you need to hide the set would have made it a solid ben gay rank. AoA Tox I feel is strictly inferior to SD, and I feel that it deserves a mention as a "don't use that, use this" set.

Gallade (Mega) B+ --> B Medicham (Mega) B- -->B Is it just me or has M-Gallade been MIA in forever? Its typing doesn't really make use of the 110 speed that supposedly put it ahead of M-Medicham. It's forced to run Shadow Sneak for Gengar but it still doesn't OHKO after rocks. Defensive Magic...

Why is there no mention of offensive Slowking sets? With the same offensive stats, the ability to run a +SpA nature and regenerator to offset life orb you have a potential wallbreaker/TR sweeper. Slowking @ Leftovers Ability: Regenerator EVs: 248 HP / 28 Def / 220 SpA / 8 SpD / 4 Spe Modest...

Thanks for helping, I'll try the changes you suggested and report back. Victini seems like the best pokemon for the last slot since it deals with bulky waters better and has higher base speed than my other potential last slot Emboar. Dbond and Hydro Pump are totally ladder moves, I agree that a...

I love sash TTar but I don't feel like it does enough in this meta. So many of the leads it counters have just fallen out of favor: nobody leads ferro anymore, SpD/custap skarm are all the rage, the two Garchomp sets it counters (lum and sash) have something like 20% usage between them and...

No team really deals with both bulky and offensive Char X sets, but yeah residual damage is my main way to deal with it. I pretty much never click outrage vs teams with Azu since Rock sits in the same niche as Poison where offensively they hit literally everything that isn't a steel type. I also...

That's really rare and I haven't encountered it yet, but I assume I'd be playing against it with chip damage. However 252+ SpA Mega Altaria Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 148 SpD Assault Vest Scizor: 316-376 (92.1 - 109.6%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO and who even runs fully invested modest M-Altaria...

Sharks and Water Stuff Hi everyone I'm fabiohimself and this is the first team I built in ORAS and my first RMT. So basically I play just enough to see that my rating decayed a little between each game, but what I really like about pokeymans is the variety, and how some players actually manage...

Hello basedlord would you kindly help me salvage this core? Chesnaught @ Leftovers Ability: Bulletproof EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature - Leech Seed - Spiky Shield - Spikes - Super Fang Heatran @ Choice Scarf Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Fire...

I am neither of the players in this replay (lel) but this is almost a completely haxless comeback game from an OU room tournament. One team is clearly fragile and greedy, relying on the coverage of the rarely seen Lando-I combined with sand and a Breloom set that is recently gaining lots of...

Not a single person is mentioning its usage rate in the top 500. from 300-500 you have random 1600s using greninja and empoleon, then you have a bunch of tryhards running stall and in the top 100 you see maybe one every 10 teams, always running low kick and gunk shot. Nobody up there runs HP...

Given how banhappy the UU council was in XY I doubt you'll be surprised.
