To outspeed and taunt as many other passive Pokémon as possibleWhy is Tapu Fini's analysis set running max speed and no defensive investment outside of HP?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen7ou-335527I saw Avalugg in OU Role Compendium thread. I know it was ABR who used an Avalugg stall team, but I'm curious, which is the set? Or does someone has a replay of this team to see it in action?
Spdef Scizor isn't that good most of the time. Especially if you mean non-mega. Both Lele and Magearna tend to carry HP Fire which usually 2hkos regardless.Is a specially defensive Scizor usable to softcheck things like Magearna, Lele etc.? I need a reliable defogger and a special sponge since I've been losing to Lele a bit and I was hoping to compress the role with him since Mantine hasn't been working for me. Or are there other alternatives?
If you mean non-mega, that is unviable. Magearna is a pretty good special sponge, especially regarding Lele. But as you want to compress the roles DragonKnightMaster has a decent idea, although specs lele can do heavy damage to mantine via psyshock and deal heavy damage to mew via moonblast.Is a specially defensive Scizor usable to softcheck things like Magearna, Lele etc.?

Zapdos is a counter. Koko and Toxic Lando are pretty good checksWhat are the best Lucha checks for BO atm ?
It's important to keep in mind that Koko has a high chance of being knocked out by a +2 Hawlucha's HJK after 2 stealth rock switch-ins, and a low chance of being taken out by a +2 Hawlucha's HJK after a single stealth rock switch-in.Zapdos is a counter. Koko and Toxic Lando are pretty good checks
Araquanid, my man u coudve just looked ar the vr thoHaven't really seen this discussed too much, with a few more mons getting sticky web now, which is the best setter (assuming you already have a rocker) and why? I've mostly been using Slurpuff but Ribombee might be better because of the initial speed, or Araquanid because it's fat.
Slurpuff is unviable for the most part as it doesn't bring much to the table outside of Unburden Endeavor, which is a cool gimmick but not worth using most of the time. Ribombee is also pretty trash because it doesn't do anything other than getting webs. Araquanid is the only viable Web setter out of the three because its bulk and raw power lets it take some hits and threaten a bunch of mons, check its analysis if u want more detailHaven't really seen this discussed too much, with a few more mons getting sticky web now, which is the best setter (assuming you already have a rocker) and why?

bulky zapdos and unaware clefable are two of the best defensive counter measures. Offensive counter measures include mons that can ko with priority after previous chip damage, such as the two you listed, or mons that can live a hit and ohko, such as a bulky or full health koko, or a Z-Fly landorus.What is the most conventional way to get answers to Hawlucha? One might say "just don't let it set up" but no, the seed lets it set up on so many things. Stuff like specs ash gren / mega pinsir exists, but none of them reliably KO them without sacrificing its teammate for prior damage. I personally use Mimikyu or even sash + counter alakazam in offensive teams but what are your ways to deal with 'mon?
can try its usual c&c section if u want to rely on that, but, u can also use newly invented stuff like toxic rh lando or defensive fly z lando if thats what u want.What is the most conventional way to get answers to Hawlucha?

Zapdos is a fantastic counter most of the time. Just don't let it get worn down too much to the point that It won't be able to reliably roost back up and/or take on Hawlucha.What is the most conventional way to get answers to Hawlucha?

Zapdos, Koko and toxic/z-fly defensive Lando all work.What is the most conventional way to get answers to Hawlucha?

As everyone has said, Zapdos is definitely your best bet. Clef also works well, especially Unaware variants which completely shut down Lucha. Z-Fly Lando also works, I like that idea. Defensive Lando can also work but Roost is the standard these days so it's not reliable. Scarf Lando can actually work too as a check if you have Explosion, it can't switch in but on a free switch it will survive and kill with Explosion. Skarm and Hippo work but boosted Lucha 2HKOes skarm easily so those can really only be checks. Phasing in general is really nice - if you make it switch out Honestly it revolves around pressuring the opponent's team and well good play in general. I've heard unironic calls for bans on it because it really is a bitch to play around but there are decent answers. I can't really think of anything else tbh.What is the most conventional way to get answers to Hawlucha? One might say "just don't let it set up" but no, the seed lets it set up on so many things.

From the looks of that replay avalugg did absoutely 0 tho, not 1 single thing that affected the match, should it really be listed?I saw Avalugg in OU Role Compendium thread. I know it was ABR who used an Avalugg stall team, but I'm curious, which is the set? Or does someone has a replay of this team to see it in action?
Stone Edge tho...which apparently nobody's running. I'm guessing Roost/Drain Punch is that valuable?Zapdos is a counter. Koko and Toxic Lando are pretty good checks
Yeah. Roost is really good to set up on things like Landorus. Stone Edge isn't that commonStone Edge tho...which apparently nobody's running. I'm guessing Roost/Drain Punch is that valuable?
Roost is the standard to set up on many threats, most notably defensive Landorus-Therian and Celesteela. I have not seen Drain Punch Lucha in a very long time ngl.Stone Edge tho...which apparently nobody's running. I'm guessing Roost/Drain Punch is that valuable?
