Looking for a Mold Breaker Drilbur, don't really care about the nature and stuff, I can handle that.

Am I the only one who thinks Gyarados could actually give this guy some headaches? Intimidates on the switch-in to take very little damage and has Taunt to shut down King's Shield which will lock Aegislash in its attack forme if it attacks. Its Waterfall does a ton of damage to Aegislash in its...

This is probably going to sound dumb but couldn't you theoretically use Incinerate in the 4th slot to only give Forretress one layer? Yeah it's useless against everything else but if the 4th slot really is that much of a throwaway... EDIT: Actually I typo'd on my value for Incinerate in the...

It does apply to "all resttalk phazers" and it's a huge problem that no one seems to be looking at. How many RestTalk phazers are there outside besides Gyarados who rarely does it anymore? It's a legitimate concern. It might have its place but there's a few concerns I'd have besides its nature...

This just caught my eye: it should be noted that Breloom/Gliscor with Bulk Up or Swords Dance can set up on and beat you. +6 Seed Bomb has a chance to OHKO(87.34 - 103.08%) and Gliscor can do enough with a +6 Ice Fang(if it has it) to 3HKO you before you can Rest again due to your lack of...

On the flip side, especially for a stall team, removing a Choice Scarf can actually be a bad thing because the extra speed was useless against you and now they can freely switch moves. In some circumstances, the recoil from Life Orb can also make it easier to wear down an annoying pokemon...

Apparently I forgot to turn on saving logs because this is a new laptop. x_X Perhaps for the best anyway, because my inexperince with sun teas showed. Nonetheless, here's a few things I gathered using Leaf Storm/HP Fire/Low Kick/Explosion: +Hits really hard without needing setup. Being able to...

My issue with Psychic was Leaf Storm/Low Kick/HP Fire/Psychic leaves you helpless against Latias/Latios as well as missing the OHKO on offensive Dragonite with Psychic. I'll try to test this later despite how much I dislike playing Sun :x

If you're going to use this, you should definitely consider Leaf Storm. It nails things like Reuniclus(85.14 - 100.47%), Tentacruel(74.45 - 88.18%) and Gengar(76.71 - 90.45%) for big damage, hits Tyranitar extremely hard even if you mispredict(or it has Chople), as well as guaranteeing the OHKO...

"2OHKO'es Mew"- Wild Charge does 25.99 - 30.69% to defensive Mew. You only have like a 50% chance to 2HKO offensive Mew after SR(41.52 - 49.12%). "OHKO'es Slowbro"- Wild Charge does 48.73 - 57.86%, marginally less than it does to Skarmory. "2HKOs Haxorus"- You Ice Punch, it survives, and...

While I think an exception could be made there because of what Snunch said, you could bump it up to 76 Spe(uninvested base 85s like Suicune) or be a real smartass, bump it to 64 Spe and say it's to beat Modest Gorebyss because that's the closest thing I could find above 8 Spe Milotic. Use the...

I wouldn't say Cryogonal strictly loses to Gengar, with Ice Beam doing 47.32 - 56.1% and Gengar has to have a Life Orb to OHKO you. It doesn't do as well as Starmie since it's slower, but Gengar can't switch in on it all day like it can Donphan or Forretress that lack an effective attack. My...

After running some calcs and seeing just how insanely vulnerable it is on the defensive side, have you considered trying a spread of 32 HP/252 Def/224 Spe and running Reflect over Toxic? You lose some Special durability but you become much more difficult to take down physically, especially with...

It doesn't resist Grass... Delko certainly outlined some cool advantages for using it, although I'd still be wary about actually switching it into Mixmence because of BB/Outrage crushing you and Fire Blast doing enough to basically "force" you to Recover as it switches out, but it handles Draco...

It's also probably worth noting that Gen V tweaked Healing Wish so that your sweeper/whatever doesn't have to take a hit to receive the Healing Wish, which makes it much easier to salvage a Pokemon than last gen.

Putting aside the merits of the set, there are several things besides Dragon and Fire-types to worry about(though that in itself is pretty big). Jirachi and Celebi take little damage from HP Fire, can heal it off with Wish/Recover respectively even if you Knock Off their Leftovers, on top of...

Does the Wall set actually accomplish much of anything? It looks like it just sits there and waits for Gliscor/Starmie/Reuniclus/Breloom/any Steel/Poison/Taunt user, or really any hard hitter, to come in and force it out. It can still be 2-3HKO'd by a lot of things because of that horrendus...

Jynx handles itself really well against numerous Water-types: Jellicent(without Shadow Ball), Vaporeon, Tentacruel get set up on, Gyarados(who you wouldn't use FB against anyway) and Starmie can lose if they switch in, and Gastrodon takes more from IB than FB. It does give you a much better...

Why doesn't Trick at least have a slash to Thunderbolt on the Specs set? A lot of Porygon-Z's switchins, such as Tyranitar, Blissey, Ferrothorn and especially Chansey, are hampered or crippled by it. Additionally, a lot of Thunderbolt's targets either don't like the Specs(Jellicent, SDef...

Just curious, I've heard about people having success with a defensive Mew set with something like Will-O-Wisp/Reflect(or Light Screen)/Taunt/Softboiled, very similar to defensive Mewtwo sets in Ubers. Have you tried such a set out?
