Thanks for everyone who voted for a set!! This week winner gooessss tooo... Jmash!
Your set will be added to the Hall Of Fame.
Anyway, lets go on to our next poke!
Currently in some peoples eyes Togekiss has become very broken because of its useful ability, Serene Grace!
It has been a reliable asset to throw on a team with it having the ability to check and counter Zydog and Zarude
Lets see what else this amazing poke can do!!
Please Submit A Set, Thank You!
Submissons End Next Friday at gmt -8 2pm

self explanatory set, air slash for stab, and then coverage for rocks and steels. Trick lets you pull a fast one on bulkier mons

Support togekiss is such a fantastic set on BO teams, able to wish up mons like Raikou and Steelix as the opposing electric type comes in, also helps a lot when trading as you can recover back hp while u do damage. I personally love pairing it with heracross. Twave helps toge to flinch down almost every mon in the tier with paraflinch but also provides the support of letting ur breakers outspeed certain mons. I think this is probs the most useful set toge can run rn, probs on par with the np one.
Trick Room Set-up Togekiss
Togekiss @ Leftovers / Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Hustle
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Curse
- Extreme Speed
- Play Rough
- Drain Punch / Dual Wingbeat / Smart Strike
Everyone uses Serene Grace, and for good reason, but Togekiss also has Hustle boosting the attack even further. Curse not only raises the offense further, but boosts the defense and makes it faster under Trick Room. Extreme Speed is there as a priority move, Play Rough is really the only STAB it has. The last move can be choice between the recovery of Drain Punch, the STAB of Dual Wingbeat, or even the perfect accuracy of Smart Strike to guarantee a hit.

Weakness Policy Togekiss
Togekiss @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Aura Sphere
- Air Slash
- Flamethrower
- Roost
This set takes advantage of Togekiss' bulk and its 5 weaknesses in order to have a free and immediate +2 SpA. Luckily enough, Togekiss is quite resilient even when not invested, especially on the SpD side.
Roost is here for recovery/staying power, whereas 3 attacks are mandatory to have a good coverage.
Serene Grace is the best ability because the secondary effects of the attacks are strong/game-changing.
Hazards and screens support is really appreciated.

Blunder Cannon
Togekiss @ Blunder Policy
Ability: Super Luck
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Zap Cannon
- Nasty Plot
- Air Slash
- Flamethrower / Dazzling Gleam
Unfortunately Zap Cannon and Serene Grace are incompatible with each other but i still think it could be worked with. With blunder policy, u either get 100% paralysis on ur opponent which works great in conjunction with Air Slash or get a +2 speed boost which allows it to sweep with Nasty Plot. Rounding off the set is Flamethrower for coverage against steel types.
Team support: The set cant do much against Raikou as even a +2 Dazzling Gleam doesnt ohko it without some form of residual/pre taken damage which u can accomplish and swap out flamethrower for Dazzling Gleam. It would now struggle against steel types. In both cases, u need to have a ground type on the team like Zygarde-10% to deal with those.

Togekiss Sub Salac berry set with Endeavor.

Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Endeavor
- Air Slash
- Roost/Flamethrower/psychic
Team Support. Endeavor from kiss Could force a pokemon to 1hp Likely an electric type like raikou, Xurkitree. or one of the steels/grounds Rhyperier, Steelix, Seismatoad, And Registeel as well as a few more . Putting these pokemon to One HP can open up teamates Like Raikou, Xurkitree, Darmanitan,Noivern, Crobat, Cloyster, Tornadus if you catch them on suprise putting a pokemon to one HP to die to Hazards would be great so Knock off Support Like Reuniclus Incineroar. Now as Endeavor cant hit ghosts you'd want a good check to them like Incineorar. Also Toxtricity's sound based moves go through sub so you would also want to be able to check and pressure that pokemon well.

Sorry all, but i'm gonna have to end this week early. D:
Congratulations to Feliburn for winning this week!
your set will be added to the hall of fame!
Galarian Slowbro is becoming one of the most nuisance pokemon in RU due to its bulk and Regenerator and the ability to set up Calm Minds easily.
Slowbro is also reliable to check most of RU's Physical attackers such as Mienshao, Zarude(kinda with colbur), and Toxicroak.
Lets find out what else this pokemon can do!!
Submissions end on Sunday @ 2pm Gmt -8

- Grass knot /Scald

yes knock off activates policy.
This Slowbro set has a weakness policy and Trick room. Slowbro is so bulky that many players will be forced to hit gbro with a strong super effecitve attack to try and bring it down Enter weakness policy which will punish them for doing so and is further exemplified by the speed control from Trick room allowing Gbro to sweep a weakened team or break a hole through the opponents team. Sludge Bomb i think is clearly better so to grass knot but less nesesary. One Huge advanatage of this Gbro set is its effectiveness vs Hyper offenive teams. This set has a is Evd to live a max attack adamant Rhyperior Earthquake. This set has a choice of pyschic and sludge bomb i think Sludge bomb is overall better as being walled by togekiss is far worse than being walled by crobat. But pychic can break Seismatoad, Gastrodon, Crobat if policy wasn't activated. So it needs good team support. The choice of grass knot vs scald is if you want to fish for burns on pokemon like crobat or just kill seismitoad and gastrod. This set is also still bulky and still has regenerator meaning it is still very useful defensively. Calm mind is another great option This even Punishes the Opponent for not activating a policy. and also allows Gbro to beat Crobat.
Flametheower is an option over calm mind which will make gbro more immedaitly threataning to steels after a policy without slack off the steels could actually beat you so flamthrower is an great option

Ability: Regenerator

Bold Nature
- Yawn

- Slack Off
Yawn has some annoying synergies with Spikes. A nice Yawn on the switch leaves the opponent in a tough situation. The Bro is fat enough to even eat some super effective hits and Yawn on them, forcing a switch and accumulating some nice delicious Spike damage. Best for the mid-game as Slowbro pivots in and out.
