Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yeah that set is a bit better because I didn't know Grimm got trick, should have known. But I would personally stick with drain punch for recovery over para or superpower.
Nice set for grimmsnarl tho, def better than my choice band set.
First heat set I guess...

This time, let's break down the post piece by piece (nothing personal, just like to respond to a response).
First paragraph: I was only saying Mag should run shadow ball if Aegi gets out of hand as a Mag check, to the levels of Toad being a Vish check. However, I'm not encouraging anyone to run...
Steels you say, eh? Let's run through everyone single one in OU and see if steels are truly an amazing answer to Mag. First, Ferro. Ferro loses to getting predicted to switch in and if hit by specs aura sphere it fucking dies.
Next, Drill. Drill is one consistent check to most Mag sets I'll...

For some reason I see people stating Ferrothorn as a consistent answer to banded Vish. This is wrong.
252+ Atk Choice Band Strong Jaw Dracovish Fishious Rend (170 BP) vs. 252 HP / 150+ Def Ferrothorn: 171-201 (48.5 - 57.1%) -- 46.9% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
That's with a good...
Other than Vish, the only thing your Celebi set would counter in the meta is Zera and Toad. So how is knock not a problem??? Also, your calcs say otherwise about your "Celebi is only 2HKOed by crunch" argument. There's still a hefty chance that FR 2HKOes too. There's also a 1/3 chance that...
Hey, first post on smogon.
I may not be the best at Gen 8 OU but everyone knows about Vish. The thing is definitely overcentrilizing to the point of a suspect. It can just click the Rend button with no remorse. At first I thought this thing had its answers but over time that opinion has...
