Mold Breaker is more reliable - Ferrothorn's Iron Barbs won't be hurting you, and you can nail Rotom-W with Earthquake. However the Rivalry boost can be huge.

Nitro Charge is fun

Is going mixed ever viable on a non-choice scarf set (or even on one)?

I've seen a few Rotom-W who run Hydro Pump Thunderbolt Sunny Day HP Fire Good pivot against weather teams, and enjoys Nattorei

It kinda makes sense that Blaziken would go after Swift Swim + Drizzle - that combo comprised a fair number of his checks.

I'm surprised this thread isn't more active... Ttar is the ultimate Shandera counter, and is probably the most versatile poke in the metagame right now. It can be a lead with rocks, band, scarf, mixed, bulky, DD I'm going to be experimenting with some sets, if I find a good one I'll post it

Recently got dominated by a Dragonite using the same set that Swift posted (I duno about the EV spread but the moves were the same) If you don't have a counter to that thing it's a real bitch to take down

With SS up there's a chance to 2hko with SR, and if you have any layers of spikes up then you're pretty much sealing the deal.

It also hurts that choice users tend to hit and run a lot, and Mence is weak to SR. That said Specs is probably his best choice set simply because it is the least expected. Band is 100% outclassed by Chomp, Specs isn't outclassed by Latis completely because he gets Fire Blast, while they have...

I don't think Adamant is really a good option, due to the speed tier. Jolly either really, because it weakens Fire Blast, and without Fire Blast your coverage gets much worse (and let's face it - Fire Fang blows). Go Naive. I agree though Mixmence has been underwhelming. DD Mix or standard...

That still breaks a sub. You're right it isn't really that important, but it is important to note that Erufuun can basically only taunt Nattorei, while Nattorei actually has a way of dealing damage back. a) agreed b) ? whatever

Even with no investment to Erufuun's speed stat, Nattorei's Gyro Ball gets massive base power. Erufuun has base 116 speed, and even with no investment this drops him somewhere in the range of 270 speed, vs Nattorei's 40 (0 EVs, 0 IVs, Speed hindering nature which all Nattorei running Gyro Ball...

In response to you saying that Nattorei can't really do anything to Erufuun - Gyro Ball does massive damage unless you run Cotton Guard. It's not really a gamble against Togekiss or Urugamosu - sub up and see what they do. If they attack, gtfo. If they setup, encore. That said Urugamosu...

Blaziken should only have +1 (intimidate) against Gyara. BTW, I was assuming the bulky pokemon switches in as Blaziken / Infernape setup their +2. In this case Blaziken is going to get ohko'd by Slowbro after failing to ohko. Ape doesn't have that problem. If you run Shadow Claw then...

Hippowdon, Gliscor, Resttalk Gyarados, Bulky Dragonite (with multi scale he might survive a +2 nape hp ice though I'm not sure), Slowbro I haven't done any calculations but I don't think Blaziken can ohko Hippow or Gliscor with any of his moves even at +2. He definitely can't take out Resttalk...

Set up a trick room V Generate sweep xD Maybe even pass him a few curses first

Yeah I run a set with Protect/Leech Seed/Spikes/Gyro Ball, and minimal HP EVs (I pumped them into the defenses), and man leech seed gives you a helluva lot of hp from nearly all other pokemon.

I was trying a bulky Kerudio with Substitute over Calm Mind, and it was working pretty well but it lacked some punch. Now I'm using a Sub/Calm Mind/Surf/Mystery Sword set with max speed and special attack. His coverage move is often weak anyway and only deals with 1 or 2 counters. Getting a...

I just want to correct some parts of my previous post on this set now that I've played with it a lot more. At max HP, LO Breloom requires 4 bullet seed hits to take him out, or 3 with an SD up. If you manage to switch in on a toxic or will o wisp earlier in the match, you are immune to spore...

Hidden Power is hardly worth using for a 2x weakness, especially on bulky guys like the Latis and Celebi (and of the three, really only Latios is used often). The other only HP I would use over Electric is Ice, for Chomp/Mence/Dnite, since dragons wall him fairly well. But yet again it isn't...
