Specs Toxtricity destroys Toxapex. Banded Barra CC destroys Ferro. You could also put Fire Punch on Toxtricity to bait Ferro and hit it hard, but the fact that you use a rain team makes this less viable. Would drop Dracovish even though he's pretty good. If you pick a defensive partner, I'd...

Just a newb's idea: Ludicolo as rain sweeper instead. Also helps vs bulky waters. Maybe 252 SpA / 248 Spe / 8 HP for 301 HP, so you could survive another Night Shade. Or is there anything where those 1-2 points Spe matter? Energyball > Giga Drain could be an option, too, but not sure against...

You can run scarf on hydreigon. That also helps vs Dragapults.

So TIL the hard way that Prankster Trickroom doesn't make you go first. It's a pretty funny flex regardless: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8vgc2020-1026390553 But I like AR's suggestions and will replace Whimsicott with a Duraludon. What kinda set do people run? Fast sp.attacker? Can it...

Redirecting moves. Status. You can also just hit it hard, example: 252+ Atk Excadrill Helping Hand Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Shuca Berry Lucario: 277-327 (98.5 - 116.3%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO 252+ SpA Dragapult Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Lucario: 294-346 (104.6 - 123.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

I'm not quite sure whether this is the appropriate place as I have a question about VGC, however I suppose it's about DOU aswell so here I go: What to pick against trickroom teams? I thought about putting TR on a fast mon myself (maybe prankster whimsicott?) that can put in some work apart from...

Isn't this rather something you'd use in UU? Paired with like an Unburden Hitmonlee maybe?

This thing is pretty neat, but I think I'll run Flareblitz... https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8ou-1022232464

It's a safe assumption that the sap will heal corsola to full, so taking rocks into account is pointless. That being said, even if you don't OHKO (LO can't do that anyway) it cannot really heal up with strength sap because that just gives you a further attack boost which means you clap it the...

So this can 1v1 dd ttar at least if you start behind a sub... or could he have played better? https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8ou-1022082854 Don't mind the poor plays, I was super scared of dracozolt and will improve that team...

Had a couple of matches with this: https://pokepast.es/2241c67886ee3ff4 The team developed pretty much in that order. The conk claps g-darm with mach punch (and can take any 1 hit). Claps ferro with fire punch whether def or spdef sets. 2hko pex and corviknight after leftis. Claps pelipper and...

So people DO typically run at least some speed on corvi? My conk has 180 speed EV to outspeed and 2hko max hp/def corvi with thunderpunch after leftis but if it's still slower than a majority of them I feel like I should reallocate those EVs, maybe towards more bulk than now. Or more speed if...

What's the benefit of using this instead of say defensive Seismitoad vs water/rain? Grass (powerwhip) resistance?
