Metagame Convergence [OM of the Month (New Bans post #465)]

raikou with cotton guard, calm mind, parabolic charge and stored power should be banned. It's fast and can easily boost out of control within 2 or 3 turns, it has recovery while also destroying the opponent with parabolic charge, and can nuke anything that isnt a dark type with stored power. not that it needs recovery when its nigh unkillable
Hahahaha... I've found it extremely creative, imo. It takes at least 3 turns for it to build up. It's different than something broken. A simple Prankster with Haze or an Unaware Pokémon put it to the ground.
 
Hello everyone, could you let me know your opinion on these movesets?
Zapdos-Galar @ Leftovers
Ability: Scrappy
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- High Jump Kick / Close Combat
- Dual Wingbeat / Brave Bird
- Substitute / Knock Off / Encore
- Hone Claws / Swords Dance

This set was made to hit anything behind your substitute and to avoid being WoW'ed or Strength Sap'ed. Hone Claws work well with Dual Wingbeat and HJK but you might just go SD with CC and Brave Bird for immediate power. If Fluffy or Unaware are an issue, you can run Mold Breaker instead.

Kyurem @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Thermal Exchange
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Scale Shot
- Icicle Spear
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
I may be wrong but I'm surprised nobody talked about it. It's basically Baxcalibur but faster and bulkier.

Azelf @ Life Orb
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Photon Geyser / Lumina Crash
- Close Combat / Moonblast
- Knock Off / Ice Beam / Fire Blast / Encore
This is a decent pivot, that could be special, physical or even mixed if you feel so.

Iron Thorns @ Magnet
Ability: Galvanize
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Double-Edge / Body Slam
- Stone Edge / Earthquake / Ice Punch
- Earthquake / Explosion
- Dragon Dance
Yea I know this mon is shit but defensive Water types are popular so let's give it a try. One DD is enough to reach 400 Speed, with a massive STAB Double Edge reaching a strong base power of 187.2. Also it can run Explosion hehehe.

Also I'm glad Umbreon is gone because it was a pain to deal with honestly.
