Entei (OU Revamp) Done

[Oldamar999]

[OVERVIEW]

Entei's main function in GSC is to break through the opposing team's defenses with its powerful sun-boosted Fire Blast and complementary Solar Beam. Unlike its more powerful Fire-type competitor Moltres, Entei is quite bulky, has no Electric weakness, and has base 100 Speed, which makes it possible for it to defeat Zapdos and Raikou, two of the best Pokemon in the tier. Unfortunately, even with sun up, Entei fails to land the crucial guaranteed 3HKO on Snorlax that Moltres can achieve. Additionally, Moltres's immunity to Ground gives it a chance to defeat Nidoking and allows it to destroy most Steelix sets, whereas Entei struggles to switch in.

[SET]
name: Sunny Day
move 1: Sunny Day
move 2: Fire Blast
move 3: Solar Beam
move 4: Hidden Power Fighting
item: Leftovers

[SET COMMENTS]
Set Description
=========
Sunny Day boosts the power of Fire Blast and allows Solar Beam to charge instantly while weakening Water-type attacks and lowering the accuracy of Thunder to 50%, giving Entei the advantage against Zapdos and Raikou. Fire Blast hits common threats like Exeggutor, Steelix, Forretress, and Jynx. Solar Beam beats Pokemon like Rhydon, Golem, and Quagsire that would otherwise wall Entei while usually 3HKOing Water-types, which gives it a better matchup against them than Moltres. Hidden Power Fighting has a very high chance of 2HKOing Tyranitar and a decent chance of 4HKOing Snorlax, which means if the latter is forced to Rest without a Curse boost and doesn't have Sleep Talk, it can't safely burn sleep turns against Entei because it risks eventually being taken out by a critical hit.


Team Options
========
Exeggutor is a good partner for its Ground and Water resistances and lack of weakness to Rock. Exeggutor can also spread status and use Explosion on threats Entei dislikes such as Snorlax and Water-types. Spikes support is very useful for Entei, as it helps compensate for its somewhat underwhelming damage output; thus, Cloyster and Forretress are valuable teammates. Raikou and Snorlax are helpful if Entei is against a Water- or Electric-type without sun up, as they are bulky enough to switch into many Water- or Electric-type Pokemon and take them down with STAB or coverage attacks. Machamp, especially Fire Blast variants, forms a good offensive core with Entei, as sun helps Machamp with many of its typical checks such as Zapdos, Suicune, Starmie without Psychic, Heracross, and Skarmory, and Machamp can also check Snorlax and Tyranitar and lure in Pokemon like Skarmory and Exeggutor so Entei can set up sun. Nidoking can lure in Entei's checks such as Zapdos, Snorlax, and Water-types and put them to sleep with Lovely Kiss or take away their Leftovers with Thief so they become less reliable in checking Entei; most notably, Snorlax has a harder time checking Entei if it has been put to sleep or has its Leftovers taken away. Nidoking is also a solid check to Tyranitar if it's not running Earthquake or much less common coverage moves like Surf and Ice Beam. Other Fire-types like Charizard, Houndoom, and Moltres greatly appreciate Entei's ability to set up sun, since it boosts their Fire-type STAB moves, and Entei can help overwhelm checks they have in common.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
A RestTalk set with Rest / Sleep Talk / Sunny Day / Fire Blast can function as a durable attacker that performs as an excellent answer to Gengar, Exeggutor, and Jynx due to not fearing status from them, and it can separate itself from Moltres with its better bulk and Electric neutrality, letting Entei have a better time against Electric-types. However, Moltres still mostly outclasses this set due to its significantly higher Special Attack which lets it 3HKO Snorlax under sun, as well its Ground immunity which gives it immunity to Spikes and allows it to handle Ground-types better. Additionally, this set's lack of coverage makes Fire-resistant Pokemon like Tyranitar, Vaporeon, and Rhydon significantly more dangerous.

Roar can replace Hidden Power Fighting to allow Entei to gradually wear down its counters with Spikes support, and it is especially useful if the opponent has many Fire-weak Pokemon on the same team. Unfortunately, Roar has poor synergy with Sunny Day, and the removal of Hidden Power Fighting makes it more difficult to take down Tyranitar, Snorlax, and Houndoom. Entei's Fire typing also lacks useful resistances and gives it weaknesses to common types in Ground and Water, so it's not a very good user of Roar despite its good bulk. Entei can use Charcoal to usually 3HKO Snorlax with sun-boosted Fire Blast, but losing Leftovers recovery means Entei becomes less durable; notably, it is 2HKOed by Zapdos's Thunder after Spikes.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Snorlax**: Snorlax's incredible HP and great Special Defense leave Entei incapable of doing any significant damage even under sun, while Curse can make Hidden Power Fighting too weak to threaten Snorlax. Snorlax can also take Entei down with Earthquake or STAB-boosted Double-Edge.

**Dragonite**: Dragonite's great bulk and resistance to all of Entei's coverage moves leave Entei completely incapable of getting past it, and Dragonite can paralyze Entei with Thunder Wave to try to defeat it.

**Water-types**: With the notable exception of Cloyster, Water-types such as Vaporeon, Suicune, Thunder Wave Starmie, and Tentacruel pose serious threats to Entei. Vaporeon can heal any damage taken with Rest and use Entei as setup fodder. However, Entei can still possibly take down Vaporeon with Solar Beam, especially if Vaporeon switches in on Sunny Day and is asleep. Tentacruel is similar to Vaporeon in that it is able to use Entei as setup fodder, but it is especially notable in that it is neutral to Solar Beam and resists Hidden Power Fighting, which leaves Entei completely incapable of doing anything to it. Starmie can paralyze Entei with Thunder Wave and stall out sun turns with Recover. If sun has not been set up, Quagsire can threaten Entei with its STAB-boosted Earthquake.

**Ground-types**: Marowak and Nidoking can switch in on Sunny Day, survive a sun-boosted Fire Blast, and threaten to maim Entei with Earthquake. Specifically, Marowak has a high chance to OHKO it, and Nidoking can 2HKO it. Nidoking is notable in that it has Lovely Kiss to put Entei to sleep, letting it easily beat Entei. If sun has not been set up or Entei does not have Solar Beam, Rhydon and Golem will crush it, since they resist Fire Blast and take little from Hidden Power Fighting. If sun has been set up, however, Solar Beam easily dispatches the two.

**Bulky Status Spreaders**: Bulky Pokemon with status-inducing moves such as Blissey, Suicune, Umbreon, and Porygon2 can easily stall out both Entei and Sunny Day. Specifically, Blissey, Umbreon, and Suicune can use Toxic against Entei and then heal off damage, although Suicune and Blissey are likely to be 3HKOed by Solar Beam and Hidden Power Fighting, so they aren't completely consistent. Moonlight Umbreon is notable in that its recovery move is strengthened by Sunny Day, which makes it easier for it to wall Entei. Porygon2 can use Thunder Wave to paralyze Entei and stall it out with Recover.

**Charizard and Moltres**: Charizard and Moltres resist Fire Blast along with all of Entei's coverage. Charizard can take Entei down with Earthquake, and Moltres outdamages Entei and often runs RestTalk. These Pokemon can also take advantage of sun if Entei sets it up.

[Oldamar999]

Entei is finally ready for QC

 

[Earthworm]

Hidden Power Fighting 2HKOs Tyranitar and also 4HKOs Snorlax, which can force it to rest so Entei could potentially beat with critical hits, however, this only works if Snorlax has not already set up Curse and does not have Sleep Talk.

This could use some clarification. The scenario where HP Fighting usually beats Snorlax by eventually CHing it is when Snorlax is forced to Rest without having a Curse under its belt, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Snorlax was put into that position by HP Fighting. Anything could have weakened it to put it into that position.

Raikou and Snorlax are helpful if Entei comes against a Water-type with sun not set up, as they are bulky enough to switch into many Water-type moves and take them down with STAB or Coverage.

I would say "Water- or Electric-type" for these.

Other Fire-types like Charizard, Houndoom, and Moltres greatly appreciate Entei's ability to set up sun since it boosts their Fire-STAB moves and may be able to overwhelm their own checks.

I'd change the part from "may be" onwards to "Entei can help overwhelm checks they have in common." or something similar.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Bulky Status Spreaders**: Bulky Pokemon with status such as Blissey, Suicune, and Porygon2 can easily stall out both Entei and Sunny Day. Specifically, Blissey and Suicune can use Toxic against Entei and use Soft-Boiled and Rest respectively, and Porygon2 can use Thunder Wave to paralyze Entei and stall it out with Recover.

You can add Umbreon to this list, especially if it has Moonlight (since it then benefits from Sunny Day).

Overall looking good in my opinion, with the changes I will give this QC 1/2.

Solar beam beats Pokemon like Rhydon, Golem, and Quagsire that would otherwise wall Entei while also hitting Water-types.

I would emphasize here more that one major difference between Moltres and Entei is that the latter is actually has a decent chance to defeat water types that try to check it 1v1 due to Solar Beam being a likely roll to 3HKO while Moltres' HpGrass doesn't do enough damage to pose a serious threat for them.

Hidden Power Fighting 2HKOs Tyranitar and also reliably 4HKOes Snorlax, which means if it is forced to Rest without a Curse boost and doesn't have Sleep Talk, it can't safely burn sleep turns against Entei because it risks eventually being taken out by a critical hit.

Since HpFighting forces you to use an attacking DV of 12, the actual chance to get the 4HKO is this:
Entei Hidden Power Fighting vs. Snorlax: 142-168 (27.1 - 32.1%) -- 53.8% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
Snorlax can also use Curse after waking up, giving the Entei player no chance to KO Snorlax on the 4th turn without a critical hit and reducing the damage Entei will do while Snorlax is resting and thus giving Snorlax even more opportunities to set up if Entei doesn't find crits soon.
Even without Curse, I assume that with a ToxicLax for example, one could check the damage rolls and use Toxic after two rather low rolls when you expect being able to survive 2 more HpFightings.
Of course Snorlax is not safe against Entei but the way you phrased it makes it sound as if Entei has better chances to beat a sleeping RestLax than it actually has.

Nidoking is a decent lure for Entei's checks such as Zapdos, Snorlax, and Water-types while also putting them to sleep with Lovely Kiss.

I would make it clear how exactly Nidoking can make use of luring Entei's checks in, namely putting them to sleep via LK or stealing Leftovers with Thief, something I would also mention as that would make it way more difficult for Snorlax for example to check Entei.
(Maybe it's just me, but I just found the phrasing a bit odd. I'd rather say something like "lures them in and can put them to sleep with LK or take away their Leftovers with Thief so they become less reliable in checking Entei -- to summarize: mention Thief here, the rest is up for the GP team to decide, that was just my personal opinion as a non-GP member)

Unfortunately, Roar has poor synergy with Sunny Day and forces Entei to get rid of either Solar Beam or Hidden Power Fighting, both of which are important coverage moves; removing Solar Beam means Entei is easily countered by Water-types like Vaporeon, Suicune, and Quagsire as well as Golem and Rhydon, and removing Hidden Power Fighting leaves it without a reliable option beat Tyranitar and Snorlax.

I would always decide to drop HpFighting. Solar Beam seems way more important.
HpFighting is only good vs Snorlax, Tyranitar and much less common threats like Houndoom, while Solar Beam is providing coverage for Vaporeon, Suicune, Rhydon, Golem and still is able to finish off weakened Tyranitars.

Bulky Pokemon with status such as Blissey, Suicune, Umbreon, and Porygon2 can easily stall out both Entei and Sunny Day.

Suicune is likely to be 3HKO'd so I wouldn't say it can "easily stall out both Entei and Sunny Day". It's still a very good check of course.
Similarly, I would also emphasize more in the Vaporeon matchup that Entei is not that unlikely to beat it if the water pokemon is switching in on a Sunny Day turn (especially when being asleep).

 

[wyc2333]

forre may not be a good teammate bc it may not be a good choice for offensive teams, on which entei may fit. the same as raikou.
and idk how an entei team can be. i have tried lax/cloy/zap/egg/jolt/entei, but it's something niche

Additionally, Moltres's immunity to Ground gives it a chance to defeat Nidoking and allows it to destroy most Steelix sets, whereas Entei struggles to switch in.

[SET COMMENTS]
Set Description
=========

Sunny Day boosts the power of Fire Blast and allows Solar Beam to charge instantly while also weakening Water-type attacks and lowering the accuracy of Thunder to 50%, giving Entei the advantage against Zapdos and Raikou. Fire Blast is Entei's STAB move that and hits common threats like Exeggutor, Steelix, Forretress, and Jynx. Solar Beam beats Pokemon like Rhydon, Golem, and Quagsire that would otherwise wall Entei while also usually 3HKOing Water-(AH)types, which gives it a better matchup against them than Moltres. Hidden Power Fighting has a very high chance of 2HKOing Tyranitar and also has a decent chance of 4HKOing Snorlax, which means if it is forced to Rest without a Curse boost and doesn't have Sleep Talk, it can't safely burn sleep turns against Entei because it risks eventually being taken out by a critical hit.


Team Options
========

Exeggutor is a good partner for its Ground and Water resistances while also not being weak to Rock. Exeggutor can also spread status and use Explosion on threats Entei dislikes such as Snorlax and Water-types. Spikes support is very useful for Entei, as it helps alleviate its somewhat underwhelming damage output;(change comma to semicolon) thus,(AC) Cloyster and Forretress are valuable teammates. Raikou and Snorlax are helpful if Entei comes in is against a Water- or Electric-type with without sun not set up, as they are bulky enough to switch into many Water- or Electric-type moves Pokemon and take them down with STAB or coverage attacks. Machamp, especially Fire Blast variants, forms a good offensive synergy core with Entei, as sun helps Machamp with many of its typical checks such as Zapdos, Suicune, Starmie without Psychic, Heracross, and Skarmory, and Machamp can also check Snorlax and Tyranitar and lure in Pokemon like Skarmory and Exeggutor so Entei can set up sun. Nidoking can lure for in Entei's checks such as Zapdos, Snorlax, and Water-types and can put them to sleep with Lovely Kiss or take away their Leftovers with Thief so they become less reliable in checking Entei;(comma -> semicolon) most notably, it makes it harder for Snorlax to check Entei if it has either been put to sleep or has it's its Leftovers taken away. Nidoking is also a solid check to Tyranitar if it's not running Earthquake or much less common coverage moves like Surf or and Ice Beam. Other Fire-types like Charizard, Houndoom, and Moltres greatly appreciate Entei's ability to set up sun, (AC) since it boosts their Fire-STAB Fire-type STAB moves,(AC) and Entei can help overwhelm checks they have in common.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

A RestTalk set with Rest / Sleep Talk / Sunny Day / Fire Blast can function as a durable attacker that performs as an excellent answer to Gengar, Exeggutor, and Jynx due to not fearing status from them, and it can separate itself from Moltres with its better bulk and Electric neutrality, letting Entei have a better time against Electric-(AH)types. However, Moltres still mostly outclasses this set due to its significantly higher Special Attack and immunity to Ground, (AC comma not needed but it's fine) letting it always 3HKO Snorlax under sun without the need of Charcoal, (RC) and a Ground immunity that lets it handle ground types Ground-types better, (AC) and gives it a Spikes immunity with a bonus of being immune to Spikes. (I changed the wording around for better flow changes here are good imo) Additionally, the lack of coverage makes Fire-resistant Pokemon like Tyranitar, Vaporeon, and Rhydon significantly more dangerous. Roar can replace Hidden Power Fighting to allow Entei to gradually wear down its counters with Spikes support, and it is especially useful if the opponent has many Fire-weak Pokemon that are weak to Fire (eh Fire-weak is fine. it's similar to Fire-resistant or Fire-immune) on the same team. Unfortunately, Roar has poor synergy with Sunny Day, and the removal of Hidden Power Fighting makes it more difficult to take down Tyranitar, Snorlax, and Houndoom. Entei's Fire-typing Fire typing also lacks many useful resistances and gives it common weaknesses to common types in Ground- and Water-, (Remove the hyphens make sure to keep that comma in there too!!) so it's not a very good user of Roar despite it's its good bulk. Entei can use Charcoal to usually 3HKO Snorlax with Sunny Day-boosted (AH) Fire Blast, but losing Leftovers recovery means Entei becomes less durable;(comma -> semicolon) notably, it is 2HKOed by Zapdos's Thunder after Spikes.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Snorlax**: Snorlax's incredible HP and great Special Defense leaves leave Entei incapable of doing any significant damage even under sun and,(AC) while Curse can make Hidden Power Fighting too weak to threaten Snorlax. Snorlax can also take Entei down with Earthquake or a STAB-boosted Double-Edge. (AP)

**Dragonite**: Dragonite's great bulk and resistance to all of Entei's coverage moves leaves leave it completely incapable of getting past Dragonite, and Dragonite can paralyze Entei with Thunder Wave to try to defeat it.

**Water-types**: With the notable exception of Cloyster, Water-types such as Vaporeon, Suicune, Thunder Wave Starmie, and Tentacruel pose serious threats to Entei. Vaporeon can heal any damage taken with Rest and use Entei as setup fodder. although However, Entei can still possibly take down Vaporeon with Solar Beam, especially if Vaporeon switched switches in on Sunny Day and it was is asleep. Tentacruel is similar to Vaporeon in that it as is able to use Entei as setup fodder, but it is especially notable in that it is neutral to Solar Beam and resists Hidden Power Fighting, which leaves Entei completely incapable of doing anything to Tentacruel it. Starmie can paralyze Entei with Thunder Wave and Stall out outstall (stall out is probably fine, but make sure to fix the capitalization) Sunny Day with Recover. If sun has not been set up, Quagsire can threaten Entei with it's its STAB-boosted Earthquake.

**Ground-types**: Marowak and Nidoking can switch in on Sunny Day and,(AC) survive a sun-boosted Fire Blast,(AC) and threaten to at least maim Entei ("at least maim" makes it sound like maiming something isn't very severe) with Earthquake. Specifically, Marowak has a high chance to OHKO it,(AC) and Nidoking can 2HKO it. Nidoking is notable in that it has Lovely Kiss to put Entei to sleep, letting it easily beat Entei. If sun has not been set up or Entei does not have Solar Beam, Rhydon and Golem will crush Entei, since they resist Fire Blast and take little from Hidden Power Fighting. If sun has been set up, (AC) however, Solar Beam easily dispatches the two.

**Bulky Status Spreaders**: Bulky Pokemon with status-inducing moves such as Blissey, Suicune, Umbreon, and Porygon2 can easily stall out outstall (stall out is probably fine) both Entei and Sunny Day. Specifically, Blissey, Umbreon, and Suicune can use Toxic against Entei and use Soft-Boiled, Moonlight, and Rest respectively, although Suicune and Blissey are likely to be 3HKOed by Solar Beam and Hidden Power Fighting respectively, so they aren't completely consistent. Umbreon is notable in that Moonlight is strengthened by Sunny Day, which makes it easier for it to wall Entei. Porygon2 can use Thunder Wave to paralyze Entei and stall it out outstall it (stall out is probably fine) with Recover.

**Charizard and Moltres**: Charizard and Moltres resist Fire Blast along with all of Entei's coverage. Charizard can take Entei down with Earthquake,(AC) and Moltres outdamages Entei and also often runs RestTalk. These Pokemon can also take advantage of Sunny Day sun if Entei sets it up.
