Has anyone made doom desire + regidrago work?
Hey,Has anyone made doom desire + regidrago work?
More of a question for here as it is PS related rather than OU specific.Given the fact that Trump Card works best with lower PP, and Showdown applies the max PP to all moves automatically, why can't the user decide whether they want the minimum (5 in Trump Cards case), or the max of 8? This should also apply to every move in all tiers/generations.
PS: I love showdown and really appreciate the people who make this possible!
Its Heavy-Duty Boots set is the most consistent imoBest way to run Volcanion at the moment ?
It's really not worth running on non-Stall teams stall, but people have been doing it to try out the new compatibility and as a glue Pokemon anyway. It is not something to 100% ignore now, but it's still really poor on balance.I've been seeing a surprising amount of unaware HDB Clef (like on 4 or 5 different teams, and that's only the ones I have noticed either via boosts not making a difference or toxic/burn getting them) on reasonably high ladder (1700+) on non-stall teams. Is this a coincidence or is unaware Clef actually worth running over magic guard on non-stall teams?
To add to what finch said, yeah it really isn’t. Reason being is that a big part of the reason why Clefable is so good being the fact that you are not really wearing it down, whereas you always are with Unaware Clef with status or sandstorm. This also means that it also can’t run Leftovers, and while I don’t think it’s a bad thing I don’t think it’s a good enough trade off to justify using it over Magic Guard on balance or really non stall in general.I've been seeing a surprising amount of unaware HDB Clef (like on 4 or 5 different teams, and that's only the ones I have noticed either via boosts not making a difference or toxic/burn getting them) on reasonably high ladder (1700+) on non-stall teams.

Clefable does run Life Orb on Calm Mind sets but those run a physically defensive spread for better overall bulk after a calm mind boost. Clefable rarely runs an all out specially attacking set with Special Attack EV because it’s outclassed often by other mons i.e. Nidoking.Is offensive Clef decent. It has Magic Guard so it doesn’t take Life Orb recoil. I know Alakazam is better for power but Clef has more bulk and an Immunity to dragons.
While it certainly can, I feel that its unique defensive attributes shine a lot more in a metagame filled with powerful Fighting-type wallbreakers such as Pheromosa and Urshifu-SS. You are correct in the sense that it does have more longevity as a merit of its natural bulk and typing, however, Clefable's offensive stats are ultimately fairly middling, and it wants to make use of 2 moveslots to both set up and remain healthy as well. As a result of this, as bb skarm said, as a wallbreaker, Pokemon with more immediate power (and STABs in certain cases) tend to shine considerably better.Is offensive Clef decent.

Yes, Timid to revenge kill Spectrier through Substitute.Is Choice Specs Dragapult still viable? And should I run a modest or timid nature on it?
It can be found in the Ruins of Alph forum.Where is the BW OU thread?

Because Galarian Slowking isn't really a viable Pokemon to really be considered on teams in the metagame unfortunately. Its typing is very exploitable defensively and can easily be taken advantage of by very prevalent Pokemon such as Spectrier, Latios, Garchomp, Landorus-T, Heatran and Nidoking and it cannot really play around this huge weakness because of its horrid Speed, making it outclassed by pretty much every other wallbreaker in the metagame outside of Regenerator.Any reason why Galarian Slowking isn't on the preliminary Viability list? Just not worth using at all?
I sent out the slate last night, so hopefully sometime between Sunday and Tuesday.any word on when the viability ranks will be up?
Trick is typically ran on Choice Specs and Choice Scarf Magearna, which maximizes both special attack and speed. Scarf runs +Speed whereas Specs runs +SAtk.Does anyone know what is the most common ev spread of that annoying pest trick Magearna?
