OU CCAT: Nidoking Edition

The Goddamn Batman - I'm not sure if someone nominated this already, as i didnt read all of the posts, but my vote has to go for Choice Scarf Haxorus.

Haxorus @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Rivalry
EVs:4 HP/ 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant / Jolly
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Brick Break
-Dragon Claw

Of course, Mold Breaker could be slashed in over Rivalry, but in general i think the Atk boost is more valuable for wall breaking.

FatMence, MixMence, and DDMence are all separate votes.
 
yo, we need more votes!!! The top 2 are really close together (1 pt diff) so I hope more votes would set them apart. Get your votes in within the next ~12 hrs before I finalize our decision :o

Here's the ballot for reference
 
DD Scrafty: This thing is an absolute killing machine. Everybody that has trouble succeeding with this guy is just plain using it wrong. With 2 great abilities, Scrafty can either go on a snowball sweep, or have pseudo immunity to status. With its great bulk, you're really not going to be able to revenge kill the guy unless the move is like a STAB Close Combat or something. Fighting+Dark offer fantastic coverage, resisted only by Heracross and Toxicroak. After a DD, Scrafty can just shred teams apart single handedly. At +1/+1, Scrafty becomes incredibly difficult to take out. The only things that come to mind are Scarf Terrakion, Conkeldurr, and... that is honestly it. Pokemon such as Hippowdon can only temporarily check it, as Scrafty can come back out later in the match. Pokemon such as Skarmory and Virizion just plain don't want to eat a HJK. Once those two are gone, the only thing that can stop it really, is a High Jump Kick miss. I highly encourage everybody to try DD Scrafty out even if it does not get picked.

That being said, I would like to cast Vote 1 for DD Scrafty, Vote 2 for CB Metagross, and Vote 3 for MixMence. If possible, I would also like to cast a negative vote for Zoroark. Seriously guys, this is just embarrasing. Zoroark is an absolutely terrible Pokemon. Way too much needs to be put into designing a camouflage for this to actually work, I mean, you have to come up with a Pokemon neutral to Stealth Rock, weak to Spikes, and capable of using either Dark Pulse, Focus Blast, or Flamethrower, or Nasty Plot. This limits your choices to like what? Infernape. Simply having a Zoroark on a team is extremely hindering to teambuilding, and anybody who voted for this, give your head a shake.
 
lol, you make 2 noms, NWO xD I will count your Scrafty and Metagross. Thanks for your enthusiasm!
 
DD scrafty lacks power and speed. the bulk's supposed to make up for it, but it fails to IMO. And it either lacks regen or power, depending on which move you pick-HJK is easily abusable by ghosts and protect, and drain punch makes you unable to kill anything. I've found it to basically just be skarmbait.

So, first vote for Mixmence, because, well, who can deny its power?

Second for CB metagross, because i hold a soft spot in my heart for him, and i want to see a bulky CB'er in this meta.
 
1st vote - CMSub Latias

2nd vote - CM+Reflect type Latias

(Reserve vote (just incase you can't vote for same pokemon twice) Double-Dance Haxorus)
