Amoonguss seems really cool.
How will the mushroom stand it's ground against new forms of Pokemon tho? Like thundurus and tornados?

It only needs to be 2hkoed for Amooonguss to be turned from great check into subpar check.HP Ice is not necessary if you are running Keldeo in the rain, since Hydro Pump will kill dragons or several wound them at the least. I don't think +1 HP Ice has the power to KO 252/252+ Amoonguss, which exposes Keldeo to getting Spored.
Not really... HP Ice does around 50% to specially defensive Amoonguss, which means that if you have any other poke in your team that can wall a HP Ice you have effectively countered Keldeo lol, with your Amoonguss losing around 23% of it's health after Regenerator.It only needs to be 2hkoed for Amooonguss to be turned from great check into subpar check.
Yeah Heatran is an awesome addition to this core. Walls a good portion of the mons you mentioned, sets up Rocks, and abuses the shit out of Roar. Protect also lets you scout choice users and gain extra lefties recovery/survivability, and beats sun as you mentioned while also troubling hail.SD (or Guts) Heracross
Chandelure (even without sun I believe)
Tornados (Hurricane hurts)
Banded Haxorus (I believe)
Volcarona...
SD scizor
The great thing is that Heatran walls all of these (except Heracross but nothing walls Heracross) and Heatran also completes the FWG core
And some of these Amoonguss can put to sleep after taking a hit.
EDIT: I generally believe that sun teams (between grass attaks and fire attacks)trouble this core, which makes Heatran a great choice again.
Another interesting thing is that the core counters each weather very well. Slowbro for sand, amoonguss for rain, Heatran for sun. (screw hail)
Volcarona will put an end to this mockery with the new Earth Power tutor and will break even Ubers!!!!!! :Dpumped for this

amoongus for ou![]()
My Chansey and Blissey appreciate your use of earth power over rest.Volcarona will put an end to this mockery with the new Earth Power tutor and will break even Ubers!!!!!! :D
To be honest, i think slowbro outclasses almost completely in OU. Sure Alomomola might have access to Wish and sport a higher physical defensive stat, but slowbro's psychic typing coupled with 100 sp. attack vs alomomola's shitty 45 (i think) makes slowbro much betterWhere is Regenerator Alomomola when we need it?
You calculated Landorus-T's Sand Force Earthquake against Amoonguss, but Landorus-T only gets Intimidate as its ability.I updated the OP with more calcs against the Genies :D
Ohmygosh, this thing can live a LO hurricane from a tornadus....wtf
Oh. pshhh, my bad. Now it hits a lot weaker tho :D all changed.You calculated Landorus-T's Sand Force Earthquake against Amoonguss, but Landorus-T only gets Intimidate as its ability.
And honestly, not that much more physical bulk, anyways.Alomomola: 165 / 75 / 80 / 40 / 45 / 65
Slowbro: 95 / 75 / 110 / 100 / 80 / 30
Obviously Almomola has more defense, but its attack is terrible and forced to use waterfall and toxic as its only offensive moves, compared to slowbros flamethrower, ice beam, scald, and psychic and a great fighting resist.
