Project SS UU Lure That Threat [On Hold]

[KSt3ve]

Lycanroc-Dusk @ Life Orb
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat


252 Atk Life Orb Tough Claws Lycanroc-Dusk Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Palossand: 187-221 (50 - 59%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

+2 252 Atk Life Orb Tough Claws Lycanroc-Dusk Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Palossand: 369-437 (98.6 - 116.8%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO

Crunch is a good lure for lycanroc to kill Palossand, because cc and stone edge doesn't nothing to Palossand

Edit :

252 Atk Life Orb Tough Claws Lycanroc-Dusk Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Colbur Berry Palossand: 94-110 (25.1 - 29.4%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
+2 252 Atk Life Orb Tough Claws Lycanroc-Dusk Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Colbur Berry Palossand: 185-218 (49.4 - 58.2%) -- 98.8% chance to 2HKO

( " and then it does upto 87% back with Scorching Sands which has a good chance to kill through Life Orb Recoil hazards and Burn. " -> just need some dmg and why i should stay on a mon i can't OHKO ? :/)

 

[PlusC]

You forgot the Colbur berry would half the first hit, and then it does upto 87% back with Scorching Sands which has a good chance to kill through Life Orb Recoil hazards and Burn.

Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Flash Cannon
- Focus Blast
- Volt Switch

special coba p much beats palo. People should use it more it's a p cool mon, the only bad thing about it is focus blast accuracy. Volt switch hits skarmory p good too which is nice.

+1 252 SpA Cobalion Flash Cannon vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Palossand: 193-228 (51.6 - 60.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
+1 252 SpA Cobalion Volt Switch vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Skarmory: 238-280 (71.2 - 83.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

Sorry KSt3ve, I had to veto your submission for this week - not only is Crunch extremely common on Lycanroc-Dusk and therefore not really a lure, but it doesn't even break Colbur Berry Palossand to begin with D:

There's a tie between Choice Specs Toxicroak and Calm Mind Cobalion, so I'll break that in the best way I know:

Congratulations to TMM for winning, your post will be added to the OP shortly!

Week 14: Jirachi

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Iron Head
- Thunder
- U-turn
​

A lot of people wished for Jirachi's return to UU this generation, and it has made a graceful impact on the tier ever since it dropped. Between its ridiculous set versatility, excellent stats and typing, and stupid useful ability, it's an extremely powerful and relevant threat. How will you take it out this week?
Submissions are due Friday, July 31st.

Scyther @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- U-turn
- Dual Wingbeat
- Knock Off

• Scyther in theory is a pretty easy Jirachi lure, as it can take both of its STABs and some happen to be Choice Band.
• However, a Swords Dance set paired with Knock Off can be used to wreck Jirachi as it is faster than it, possibly continuing a sweep.
• Heavy-Duty-Boots is almost a mandatory item, as it allows you to switch in freely without being damaged by hazards.
• U-Turn can pivot out of bad matchups, such as Skarmory and Rhyperior.
• Dual Wingbeat is its main STAB, as it is able to hit any non-resistant Pokemon hard.
• Knock Off is important for dealing with Jirachi, which can otherwise take a hit from its STABs effectively.

Calcs

+2 252 Atk Scyther Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Jirachi: 374-442 (109.6 - 129.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252 Atk Technician Scyther Dual Wingbeat (2 hits) vs. 252 HP / 96 Def Mantine: 410-486 (109.6 - 129.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252 Atk Technician Scyther Dual Wingbeat (2 hits) vs. 252 HP / 220 Def Milotic: 332-392 (84.2 - 99.4%) -- approx. 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
+2 252 Atk Scyther U-turn vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Slowking: 338-402 (86 - 102.2%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
+2 252 Atk Technician Scyther Dual Wingbeat (2 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sylveon: 330-390 (83.7 - 98.9%) -- approx. 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
+2 252 Atk Technician Scyther Dual Wingbeat (2 hits) vs. 248 HP / 228+ Def Tentacruel: 338-398 (93.1 - 109.6%) -- approx. 62.5% chance to OHKO

Reserving Mirror Coat Milotic

 

[dunderguy]

Of course this is not viable at all, and requires a lot of set-up to do, but I give you the Anti-Rachi Frosmoth.

Frosmoth @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Ice Beam
- Weather Ball

Even if this Frosmoth is x4 weak to fire, it comes from the fiery depths of hell.

Shield Dust is used to prevent flinching from a 60% Iron Head, and 252 Defense is prioritized to take one Iron Head.

252 Atk Jirachi Iron Head vs. 0 HP / 252 Def Frosmoth: 236-278 (83.9 - 98.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Jirachi Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Frosmoth: 330-390 (95.9 - 113.3%) -- 75% chance to OHKO


With one Quiver Dance up, AND with sun up, Frosmoth OHKOs Jirachi.

+1 0 SpA Frosmoth Weather Ball (100 BP Fire) vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Jirachi in Sun: 392-462 (114.9 - 135.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

May god have mercy on this mythical's soul.

reserving trick + choice specs comfey


Comfey @ Choice Specs
Ability: Triage
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Giga Drain
- Draining Kiss
- U-turn
- Trick

jirachi beats comfey 1v1 but with tricking a choice specs to jirachi it diasbles jirachis role as a stealth rock-setter and it is locked into choice specs, which means it cant reliably support its teammembers anymore and has to choose between its attacks.

Reserving fire blast slowking


Slowking @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fire Blast
- Future Sight
- Teleport
- Scald

What this set achieves is it trades a little bit of bulk to make up for the ability to smack steel types that usually come in due to its passive nature or to sponge a future sight, and Jirachi is no exception. When Slowking hits the field, Jirachi would most likely switch in to u turn out, set up rocks, or take a 4x resist future sight, only to be 2hko'd by fire blast. If you predict a u turn coming, just click teleport to heal almost all of the chip done and bring a switch in safely due to the move's negative priority.

People should try out this set more, it deals more damage than Skarmory can roost of and Doublade has a good chance to be 1HKO'd without eviolite ( guaranteed 2hko otherwise)

84 SpA Slowking Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Jirachi: 172-204 (50.4 - 59.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Jirachi U-turn vs. 252 HP / 172+ Def Slowking: 116-138 (29.4 - 35%) -- 13.2% chance to 3HKO

0- SpA Jirachi Thunder vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Slowking: 132-156 (33.5 - 39.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Umbreon @ Leftovers
Inner focus
Calm
252 HP 6 Def 252 Sp Def (can run some speed of you like)
Foul Play
Wish
Protect
Taunt/ Heal Bell

Can't flinch thanks to Inner Focus, can heal off the damage and

252 Atk Umbreon Foul Play vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Jirachi: 260-308 (76.2 - 90.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Uturn and Iron Head do around 30% each.
