Regirock:
Tank:
This set is really outdated, I should try coming up with a better spread to take on Moltres, Houndoom, and other Fire-type attackers and invest the rest in attack. This is what Regirock excels at over Registeel, so I feel it should be emphasized in the spread.
Curse:
Seems fine. Needs to be updated reflecting tier changes though.
Rest + Sleep Talk:
Seems really pointless as a set. It just sits there and doesn't die, but can't do too much back to some really dangerous threats. Can probably be removed. Need to test.
Choice Band:
I feel this set is generally outclassed by Rhyperior and Aggron. It can probably just go in OC. Need to test.
Rock Polish:
I've used this set a lot, but there is another more effective moveset. Counter is pretty pointless, and Regirock makes a great bulky Water lure, meaning Passho Berry works great.
Testing:
- new spread for main set
- Sleep Talk
- Choice Band
Scyther:
Sweeper:
Fine, but I'd rather rename it "Swords Dance" because the term sweeper is very ambiguous.
Choice Band:
Looks good.
Baton Pass:
Including Agility is a pretty good idea as a sole Baton Passer to something like Bibarel or Rhyperior (which is more threatening with +2 Speed since it can boost either Spe or Atk afterwards anyway).
Salac Reversal:These sets are rarely ever good. Scyther has an especially hard time since he doesn't even have STAB.
Slowking:
(HORRIBLE)
fuk Slowking
Special Attacker:
I'll test this, but I don't think it's going to do well being slow and all. This should probably be combined with a new "trick room" set.
Special Wall:
Well this set is obviously good, but its spread is old and very obviously not good enough to function in UU (gets 2HKOed by Arcanine's Flare Blitz). I think ToF has a good spread in is year old analysis, but I'll test it to find the best one currently (unless others have the best one already).
Specs:
Seems as if this set is fine, but I'd like to test out a better spread at least. It also needs to be updated.
Trick Room:
Again, better spread is probably in order. Will test.
Curse:
Are you shitting me....lol.
Testing:
- Special Attacker
- Spread for Special Wall (212 HP / 152 Def / 144 SpD Calm)
- Spread for Choice Specs
- Spread for Trick Room
Swellow:
This analysis is old....
Guts Activation:
Well not only does this need an update in the worst way, but it also has the slashes fucked up. Quick Attack is a must, Protect can be mentioned, and Pursuit deserves to be slashed next to Brave Bird imo.
Choice Bander:
Going to test this. Regardless of weather or not I can switch into status often, I think a Life Orb set would be better. Which brings me to...
Life Orb:
Going to test this set out and probably replace the CBer with it. If switching into status is as easy as I think, this should be fine.
SubPassEndeavor:
Sounds like a big gimmick. Will test.
Testing:
- Choice Band vs Life Orb
- SubPassEndeavor
Sounds like fun!
