It's viable, but if you're using heal bell you may as well go unaware rather than magic guard since you can cure toxic/burn anyway. Not sure why going Unaware would turn you off to Clefable altogether though.
I just really like being able to switch into hazards and be immune to sand storm. Plus there's no guarantee I can pull off the heal bell anyway.
That's true. Like I said, there's nothing wrong with magic guard, it's just you give up some things (the ability to take normal damage from pokemon with stat boosts) in exchange for others (not taking any passive damage).
I'll test out Unaware Clefable though, I've had some trouble with setup sweepers (like mega tyranitar). Thanks for the advice! :)
No prob.
Now a question of my own:
Can someone summarize briefly the flaws that lead Cloyster to sit all the way down at a D rank?
Easy to revenge a kill, weak to most priority, easy to wall with things like MVenusuar/Skarmory/Keldeo
Oh, and Talonflame rapes it
And it's weak specially (That means you can't let it get hit by any Grass/Electric moves unless you have a Sash, even then Priority.)
That brief enough for ya? (I wouldn't completely trust the Viability thread. They think Galvantula isnt viable and it needs a sash to function.)
What Pokemon can learn the most moves aside from Mew and Smeargle?
This took me a while to find. And the data might not be relevant since this was BW and not XY. :/
Articuno
You can always use Chansey.
What is the purpose of that?
I wanted to have a place where you could take your favourite pokemon and see if there was some way to actually use in the OU tier to some extent (not actually making them good but see if they're usable) even if they are outclassed.
That's basically the analysis threads for each pokemon and the viability thread(s). People in those threads argue over ways to make the various pokemon do well in OU, and if that's even possible. Closed analysis threads were ones where it was determined that there was no way to make them realistically usable in OU.
If that doesn't satisfy you though you can PM an OU forum staff member for thread approval before posting the thread.
Thanks for the reply, I'll try.
Galv isn't viable in any way shape or form in ou
Sticky Web mean anything to you?
it's the fastest user of SW (108ish base speed) as well as the most powerful
And I'm guessing you've never used its Choice Specs set? It hits nearly as hard as Choice Specs Thundurus-T!
And considering Thundurus I is the new meta, Galvy is a good alternative (at least for a Mono electric team)
And before you say "Bisharp" let me say right back "Don't f*cking use Sticky Web until he's dead!"
Anyways, it's viable as a Specs set or a Sticky Webber. Seirously, i don't trust them peoples in the Viability Rankings :/
Then get a high enough rating and give a good counter-argument. Simple as that.
Chansey is superior to Blissey in just about every way. Having 50% more bulk on both sides is far more important than being able to 3HKO Ferrothorn with Flamethrower. seriously don't use blissey in OU ever pls
Eviolite Chansey outdoes Blissey in almost every way.
Also if you can, use natural cure, not serene grace. With that moveset Chansey won't be taking advantage of serene grace so its ability will basically be wasted.
