I have been testing SpD Aegislash with wish support to check Lele, among other things. It hasn't been that successful, and I am wondering if it is just not viable, or the set/team isn't good. What moves should a SpD set use; is it viable?

I'm thinking about getting into balance. Any quick tips for building and playing? I've only played competitively with stall.

Are there any viable checks to SD Rocks sets (Chomp/Lando rockium for example) that fit onto stall teams? Sableye can at best neuter the threat with wisp before going down. Corviknight needs heavy defence investment, body press, and iron defence (not exactly viable). Or would it be easier to...

What attacks does Cinderace typically use? Is pyroball still common, now that HJK is STAB?

Breloom is generally considered unviable, but if it's working for you, great. That said, I think Magnezone would be a much better partner, as it can trap bulky steel types that wall your grass-spam core of Bulu and Kartana (namely Corviknight, but others are relevant). Heatran has little to no...

Does anyone think banning Blastoisinite would have much of an effect on stall? I've been trying to build a team that can't handle Mega Blastoise, in favor of other things, to get an idea of how stall might look if the suspect test ends in a ban. However, I haven't been able to find checks to...

Any idea why Heatran is still not commonly using more offensive sets (eruption, firium z), despite Genesect being banned (the main reason to use a SpD set, as far as I know)? By the way, is there a way to see what is under "other" in the moveset data? For NDOU 1630, Heatran has over 50% of its...

Does anyone think that Crawdaunt is a problem? With the right teammates, it gets strong jaw; tough claws; and its own adaptability, all boosting the power of crunch. A banded adamant set can 2HKO most resists, such as a chance to 2HKO max defense Kommo-o. Edit: obviously we have fluffy and fur...

CM Mega Sableye :sableye-mega: :clefable: :corviknight: :gliscor: :gastrodon: :deoxys-defense: + Deo-D I wanted to build a team around Deo-D, because why not? Because it is trash... Obviously, it isn't on the VR, which is why this isn't in the RMT sub forum. I'll go over a few things, but...

Is anyone else having trouble loading the movepool stats? I've tried both using WiFi and using data, as well as using other websites (everything else loads fine). I can see some stats at the top, but nothing ever loads below it. I have tried using the "find on page" tool, but nothing loads.

1. Incompatible playstyle (e.g stall), other solid mega Pokemon (Mega Metagross, for example), and redundancy (e.g you're using a team with specs Greninja, which shares hydro pump and dark pulse with Blastoise). 2. I don't think so. Zygarde wasn't a great abuser of extreme speed anyway. It...

Is there something that can check Terrakion while denying it from keeping up rocks? I was hoping to use Mega Sableye, but it gets blown back by SD rockium sets. Skarmory is bopped too. Last gen I used Gligar, maybe I'll just have to settle for that again?

Scizor + Heatran by Sagisolar Hey Jho, are you (or will you be) taking submissions for teams to be broken?

:zygarde: Zygarde :zygarde: I completely agree with Guardsweeper. As problematic as Mega Metagross and Mega Blastoise can be, Zygarde is much more threatening. The combination of thousand arrows and toxic alone is difficult to deal with. Of all even potentially-viable Pokemon, only PH Breloom...

Genesect: Ban

Well, yeah, without defensive investment, it is a shaky check to Maw, so a SpD set can't do that. But unlike Skarmory, Corviknight can actually threaten Maw without using rocky helmet. This is because body press, with enough defense boosts, is a nuke. You can also opt to pp stall if you can't...

I just play stall lol, so Greninja is definitely not an option. Toxapex, even with max SpD and black sludge, has a slight chance to be 2HKOed by +1 thunderbolt into +0 thunderbolt. Not to mention, you're just repeatedly clicking haze and recover at that point, begging for a crit or paralysis...

Doesn't cm Magearna typically use thunderbolt and 252 special attack? That would make Toxapex a non-check. I often use Corviknight, but I like to physically defensive sets for Mega Mawile, Kartana, and SDSR Lando/Garchomp. I feel like using a more specially defensive spread would sacrifice more...
