What is the Kokoloko tiering method
Was about to ask a similar question.Where would I find a thread that I would have experienced battlers help me make an OU team?
Where would I find a thread that I would have experienced battlers help me make an OU team?
Was about to ask a similar question.
I made a team as a 1300-1400 and was wondering if the was a place to post teams, as a lower rated player, where they could get attention and help from higher rated players.
To address the post I replied to: YouTube has some great stuff. Pinkacross's channel is mostly focused on team building and PokeaimMD has videos where he makes teams and then plays with them. Not really what you asked for, but similar.
Razor Fang is also banned.Why is King's Rock banned in OU, but Razor Fang is not? Is there something I'm missing?
Oh, that makes sense. I just didn't see it marked on the OU format page. ThanksRazor Fang is also banned.
I've fixed this, thank you for notifying.Oh, that makes sense. I just didn't see it marked on the OU format page. Thanks
VR has a slate up right now, which will hopefully lead to the initial OU VR for DLC2 being released next week. Viability List is up in the interim thoughAre there any new recent viability rankings?
Hydrapple certainly has a niche, but it isnt the best. On TR, Ive tried Nasty Plot 3 Attack with Stellar, but I need to test with it moreIs hydrapple very viable also in OU in a trick room team? What would be a good set for that?
Full HP and SpA, nasty plot and 3 attacks or better 4 attacks and assault vest?
Would also be interested if someone has ideas for good partners. I was thinking ursaluna, cresselia, hatterene, maybe hoopa
Very high base power, hitting key target super effectively such as Gliscor, Great Tusk and other relevant physical walls for good damage. In addition, it also breaks Focus Sash against leads.I know Meowscarada got Triple Axel, but why is it that good on it and why should I use it over Thunder Punch?
Happy to help! Thanks for answering so quickly too!I've fixed this, thank you for notifying.
In addition to what tinyranitar said, Ice makes for great coverage for a Grass-type specifically, as it allows it to hit not only Flying-types but also Dragon- and Grass-types super-effectively, including the likes of Zapdos, Dragonite and Amoonguss, which could previously check it (though Zapdos still kinda does due to Static). As tinyranitar mentioned, Gliscor is also a very important Pokemon to be able to OHKO, and Meowscarada still threatens Tera Water with Flower Trick as well.I know Meowscarada got Triple Axel, but why is it that good on it and why should I use it over Thunder Punch?
Are there bots in the ladder on Showdown?
I think Knock Off is preferred. How many Dark Targets is Hoopa going to need 200 vs 165 BP over two turns for, given it's already a very "ride or die" mon with Band power? Knock Off in genral is hard to beat for forcing progress, and it's rare I find a Choice Mon gets more than two attacks out in a row unless you're already situated to win.Would knock off or hyperspace fury be better on Band Hoopa-U?
