If you're talking about this set: Dragapult @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Infiltrator EVs: 68 Atk / 188 SpA / 252 Spe Mild Nature - Hex - U-turn - Dragon Darts - Will-O-Wisp Darts here is preferred over something like Draco as it allows you to more easily hit Chansey/Blissey, which would...

That sounds good. RIght now, a lot of Toxapex are actually the set you mentioned (the haze slot is usually what changes, either to bunker, toxic, or tspikes), as knock is amazing and scald spreads burns really easily. On Amoonguss, that set looks fine as well; it really just depends on your team...

There's a pretty good argument to be made for Blissey>Chansey right now. The amount of Knock Off spam and things like hazards means that Heavy Duty Boots Blissey is often able to function better than a knocked off Chansey. However, the downside is that you lose out on a ton of physical bulk...

Specs Dragapult as a Check :choice_specs: Dragapult @ Choice Specs Ability: Infiltrator EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature - Hex - Draco Meteor - Thunder Wave - U-turn Standard specs Dragapult functions as an excellent check to Alakazam. While it cannot switch in to a Gleam or...

Defensive pelipper almost always runs max max HP and Defense, as its SpDef is pretty mediocre. The only place there's usually variation is in the Speed investment. Without a significant amount of defense, Pelipper struggles to reliably check things like Cinderace with Gunk Shot and take...

I was a bit confusing before. To rephrase, Specs Magearna is a wallbreaker that most think is too strong for the tier. Mag's other sets only make it more viable with the amount of roles it can pull off, but Specs is the main culprit.

bruhahahaha

Statements like this are dangerous for tiering and gloss over legitimate issues. As I tried to outline in my previous post, HO is not the issue; a select few mons are. Speaking from experience, hyper offense is by no means overwhelming. Based on matchup and teambuilding, certain matchups can...

There isn't one in there right now, but here's a team that's had a lot of ladder and tournament success (a version of this was used by Suapah in the finals of the Charity Bowl). https://pokepast.es/f2548090884c9104 Another good one by Egor can be found here.

Not that effective. It's pretty outclassed by things like Barraskewda, and rain already has good abusers with similar coverage such as Seismitoad. I'd recommend steering away from it unless you're really determined.

Exactly. If a suspect/ban on Urshifu does come, it will be due to the strain it puts on building (requiring the core listed above, or something similar). But with all the talk about bans circulating, there's another mon that's had surprisingly little discussion in this thread recently: Magearna...
