I've heard it can be used to bait Earthquakes from uniformed battlers who don't know that Roost doesn't nullify Levitate. That might have just been somebody ripping on the low quality of the ladder as some are wont to do, but take it as you will.
How do you pm somebody? Is it "start a conversation"? Apologies for the rather stupid question lol
What partners would be good for the following core?
Gyarados @ Liechi Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 88 HP / 220 Atk / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Bounce
- Natural Gift
Dragalge @ Draco Plate
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 224 HP / 252 SpA / 32 Spe
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Sludge Wave
- Hidden Power Fire
- Toxic Spikes
Metagross @ Metagrossite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Meteor Mash
- Zen Headbutt
- Hammer Arm
- Thunder Punch
The premise of this core is to try and sweep with Gyarados. Dragalge is used because a lot of Gyarados's checks are Grounded and gets poisoned by Toxic Spikes. It also helps to sponge Electric-type attacks aimed at Gyarados while being able to lure Ferrothorn. Mega Metagross shares a lot of checks with Gyarados and carries Thunder Punch to lure bulky Waters and Skarmory. Hammer Arm allows it to hit Heatran and Bisharp on the switch.

The Core is really weak to quakedge coverage, so I'd recommend running Something like Breloom, Chesnaught, Virizion, or just a really fat ground mon.
My only problem with adding Grass-types is they're all Zard-X bait, which is a pretty big downside imo.
Why not run Hippo, then?
that's why i said OR a fat ground
Can I use pokemon that aren't listed in the OU format for the OU format? Since I only have 1 OU eeveelution, and I don't use it often.
Yes you can use Pokemon from any tier you want as long as they aren't from a higher up tier ie you can't use Ubers in OU, you can't use OU mons in UU etc
yes you can, assuming they're not ubers, and there are plenty of non-OU mons that are viable in OU

k thanks
Is there anybody still good for Trick Room at this point, or indeed any point recently?
reuniclus is a very good setter among a ton of other mons.
Is the Physically Defensive Zapdos set more popular than the Specially Defensive one?
from what ive seen
Since the gamut calculator disappeared, are there any calculators around except the Showdown calculator? (I would use the Showdown calc but the Uni Wifi blocked it because it thought I was going to play Showdown )
the gamut calculator still exists, just with a different url, check out the guide to oras thread, i believe the link is in there
