Project Threats to OU Cores v2: Round 72: Mega Charizard X + Ash-Greninja

[Jordy]

Last Round's Analysis

Highlights

Threat of the Round:

: Toxapex is probably the best blanket check to Ash-Greninja and Tornadus-T; it's naturally a very good choice against this core.

Additional Notes:

: Jolly Mega Mawile is really bad.

: Mantine has to be extremely wary of Stealth Rock, considering it has Defog, I don't think it's unusual for this core to overwhelm it.

Round 53 Core: Mega Alakazam + Greninja

Here are your sets

Alakazam @ Alakazite
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Recover
- Shadow Ball / Calm Mind

Greninja @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Low Kick
- Gunk Shot
- Ice Beam
- Spikes

​

• This core has been rising since SPL, and has shown its worth. The simple premise of this core is that Mega Alakazam and Greninja steadily wear down sturdy Steel-types together. Furthermore, Greninja also provides Spikes support.
• Try to post only OU viable Pokémon and don't post sets specifically for this core, additionally your threat should not be complete deadweight against teams that do not feature the core of Mega Alakazam + Greninja. Everyone have a good day!

M-Sableye counters every M-Alakazam without Dazzling Gleam. Against Greninja, he prevents hazards and without freeze, counters him.

 

[SPindaRU]

Latias-Mega @ Latiasite
Timid Nature
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
- Thunder Wave
- Ice Beam
- Roost
- Thunderbolt/HP Ground/Defog

Once Greninja is confirmed Protean Lati is a solid check against both.
It can switch into Zams Psychic/Focus blast and even Shadow Ball when rocks arent up and throw off a T-Wave.
If its not Shadow Ball, Zam is walled.
Once crippled it can roost up while fishing for the para.

This Gren set cant really touch it, even a potential U-Turn from max attack has a low chance to 2HKO.
Its best chance to 1v1 it is to IB twice after rocks
Additionally, it can Defog Spikes if needed

While Lati may not beat Zam 1v1 all the time, it can switch into Zam+cripple it which leaves it more vulnerable to the rest of the team.
Regarding Gren, without U-Turn Lati isnt really threatened unless it gets statused or crit

Choice Scarf Kartana

Kartana @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leaf Blade
- Sacred Sword
- Smart Strike
- Knock Off​

Kart can only switch into a Non-Z Low Kick or Gunk Shot due to every other attack from this core having a chance to OHKO. However, switching into Gunk Shot isn't the best Idea, since It turns Gren into a Poison type, making Leaf Blade a 2HKO. Once safely in, Kart outspeeds and OHKOs both members with Leaf blade (as long as Gren isn't a Poison type).

Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
- Defog

Scarf Lando ofc has a million spreads but I’m just gonna use max Atk and max Spe to ensure rolls are in my favor. Anyway, you outspeed and OHKO both after Rocks. (You KO Greninja 75% of the time without Rocks but whatever.) You can also Defog Greninja’s hazards away. You even live Zam’s Psychic after Rocks so if it does Trace your Intimidate, you’ll still be good.

Greninja (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Gunk Shot
- Ice Beam
- U-turn
- Spikes

Scarf Protean Gren outspeeds and OHKOs both members of the core with U-turn, but it can't switch into either, so it functions as a bit of a revenge killer that neither member of the core can switch into at all. Be weary of locking yourself into Spikes because Mega Alakazam tracing protean can wreak havoc on the offensive teams that Greninja tends to be featured on.

Celesteela @ Leftovers
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 248 HP / 104 Def / 156 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Flamethrower
- Leech Seed
- Protect

Even with dual Fighting coverage, this core needs a SpA boost/SpD drop or freeze hax to be anything but laughed at by good ol' Steela - and even then, she's still a solid check - while Heavy Slam 1-2HKOs back. ... And yes, I know I post Steela a lot, but it's not my fault she shits on half the meta. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

252 SpA Alakazam-Mega Focus Blast vs. 248 HP / 156 SpD Celesteela: 140-165 (35.2 - 41.5%) -- 80.6% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

Last Round's Analysis

Highlights

Threat of the Round:

: By far the hardest Pokemon to deal with for this core.

Additional Notes:

: Mega Latias is just far too unreliable against the given core.

Round 54 Core: Kyurem + Magnezone

Here are your sets

Kyurem @ Metronome
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 56 HP / 200 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Substitute
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power
- Roost

Magnezone @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 8 HP / 4 Def / 244 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Flash Cannon
- Volt Switch

​

• Recently rising to the spotlight, Kyurem is a big threat in the current metagame. This core is rather simple, Magnezone traps Steel-types like Mega Scizor and Celesteela for Kyurem.
• Try to post only OU viable Pokémon and don't post sets specifically for this core, additionally your threat should not be complete deadweight against teams that do not feature the core of Kyurem + Magnezone. Everyone have a good day!

Lopunny-Mega @ Lopunnite
Ability: Limber
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

- Return
- High Jump Kick

Outpaces and OHKOes both w/ HJK.

 

[Mellow]

Scizor @ Scizorite
Ability: Light Metal
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Def / 16 SpD
Impish Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Roost
- Superpower

Scizor's a pretty consistent answer to Kyurem thanks to Bullet Punch's priority and high PP meaning they can't just stall you out with Substitutes and Roost. Superpower chunks Magnezone, OHKOing it with some prior damage.

Excadrill @ Steelium Z
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

Lopunny @ Lopunnite
Ability: Limber
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Return
- High Jump Kick
- Fake Out
- Ice Punch

Mega Loppuny destroys this core thanks to both of the members of it being weak to Fighting. Lopunny's speed also makes it so Magnezone is unable to revenge kill it. However, it can't switch in at all and it can be annoying to have to take an Ice Beam if Kyurem is behind a Substitute as Lopunny switches in.

Reserving De Blob (aka Chansey)

Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Seismic Toss
- Toxic / Wish
- Stealth Rock / Heal bell
- Soft-Boiled

Calcs:

200 SpA Kyurem Ice Beam vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 91-108 (12.9 - 15.3%) -- possible 7HKO (With 0 repetition)
200 SpA Metronome Kyurem Ice Beam vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 218-260 (31 - 36.9%) -- not a KO (With more than 5 repetitions)

200 SpA Kyurem Earth Power vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 61-72 (8.6 - 10.2%) -- possibly the worst move ever (With 0 repetition)
200 SpA Metronome Kyurem Earth Power vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 146-172 (20.7 - 24.4%) -- not a KO (With more than 5 repetitions)

244 SpA Magnezone Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 93-111 (13.2 - 15.7%) -- possible 7HKO

We can see that Chansey can stall both easily. Even if Chansey cannot win the duel of ppstall against Kyurem, he can pose SR, break the spam of an attack or heal another pokemon. In other words, Kyurem is passive against Chansey.

Greninja (M) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Low Kick
- Gunk Shot
- Ice Beam
- Spikes

Expert Belt Greninja outspeeds and claps both members of the core with Low Kick, and it can even situationally switch into both members of this core. Not much else needs to be said, it's just got a great matchup against this core just like it does against every other core .

  • Alternatively you QD again or Roost here and either way they're cooked
  • Turn 3 of Metronome
    • If you Roost
• 200 SpA Metronome Kyurem Earth Power vs. +1 248 HP / 0 SpD Volcarona: 80-95 (21.4 - 25.4%) -- not a KO
  • Still Turn 3 of Metronome

• 200 SpA Metronome Kyurem Earth Power vs. +2 248 HP / 0 SpD Volcarona: 61-73 (16.3 - 19.5%) -- not a KO

Big fan of this in part because Bug Buzz goes through Substitute and Volc has reliable recovery. A lot of common checks get chunked heavily by Kyurem behind a Sub, especially if it's already got a Metronome boost. QD Volc sets up and can click Bug Buzz freely without even having to burn the Z-move.

EVs: 96 HP / 252 Atk / 36 SpD / 124 Spe

​

Hawlucha requires Terrain support to beat this core. Under a Terrain Hawlucha outspeeds and usually OHKOs both members of this core (Kyurem has the slightest chance to live). However, Lucha can't switch in directly, since Ice Beam and T-bolt are OHKOs.
