is the Smogon Tour Season 34 Championis a Past SPL Championis a Two-Time Past SCL Champion


Omastar @ Normalium Z / Waterium Z / White Herb
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Shell Smash
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Hyper Beam / Earth Power

Having recently dropped to PU by usage, Omastar has quickly established itself as one of the most devastating wallbreakers and sweepers in the tier thanks to its great physical bulk, Special Attack, typing, and ability. Shell Smash is what makes Omastar such a fearsome threat, letting it outspeed the entire unboosted metagame and break past traditional checks such as Clefairy and Eelektross with Breakneck Blitz or Hydro Vortex. Additionally, Omastar is able to capitalize on many Pokemon such as Scyther, Spiritomb, and Choiced-locked Stoutland that create opportunities for Omastar to set up Shell Smash. Furthermore, Omastar sets itself apart from other Shell Smash users such as Carracosta and Gorebyss thanks to its higher Special Attack, its higher Speed, and its ability, Weak Armor, which makes revenge killing difficult. Choice Scarf users like Togedemaru and Primeape and priority users like Gurdurr, Hitmonchan, and Poliwrath are able to deal with a set-up Omastar, so Pokemon such as Spiritomb and Weezing that can deal with them are appreciated. Spiritomb is also able to Pursuit trap Togedemaru; in return, Omastar can break through bulky Pokemon such as Clefairy and Regirock.

Recently, having just dropped to PU by usage, Omastar has quickly established itself as one of the most devastating wallbreakers and sweepers in the tier thanks to its great bulk (i mean, yeah physical but the special bulk is really nothing special or even that good), special attack, typing, and ability. Shell Smash is what makes Omastar such a fearsome threat; the move increases its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed by two stages (remove up to the semi colon, i'm 100% sure most people will know what shell smash does), letting it outspeed the entire unboosted metagame while also allowing it to break past traditional checks such as Clefairy and Eelektross with Nomalium or Waterium Z . Additionally, Omastar is able to capitalize on many Pokemon such as Scyther, Spiritomb, and Kangaskhan (hm, z move kanga can abuse it if it's either focus punch or hammer arm so this is a very iffy mention), which creates opportunities for Omastar to set up Shell Smash. Furthermore, Omastar sets itself apart from other Shell Smash users such as Carracosta and Gorebyss thanks to its higher special attack, speed, and ability, Weak Armor, which makes revenge killing difficult. While Omastar is able to outspeed most of the metagame at +2, faster Pokemon like Choice Scarf Togedemaru and Pyroar along with priority users like Gurdurr, Hitmonchan, and Poliwrath are able to adequately deal with Omastar (it has to be weakened before chan or gurdurr can actually revenge at -1 though, toge is the only one the can revenge kill after stealth rock damage), so Pokemon such as Spiritomb and Weezing are apperciated as they can deal with most priority users. Spiritomb is also able to pursuit trap Togedemaru and provide Memento support for Omastar (memento tomb :/, not really a thing but ig); in return, Omastar can break through bulky Pokemon such as Clefairy and Regirock.
Aight. QC 1/1.
