Marowak is a huge threat with some speedpass http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/tiershift-128318287
you may want to add heracross, weezing, politoed, seismetoad, and a few others. Include other defensive threats like tangrowth.I have made this unoffical list from things i have seen or just noticed while playing. Tell me if you have some ideas to add to this list. Sorry for my bad english :P! Enjoy!
Threat List TS
Rampardos
112/180/75/80/65/73
This thing is really a beast with a choice scarf and its nice movepool: EQ, Head Smash, Crunch, Brick Break, Fire Punch, Iron Head and even Surf :D!Really watch this thing can clean the match late game or even destroy your pokes at the start. He might even take a hit with his new improved defensive stats.
Kyurem
135/140/100/140/100/105
All Hail The King Kyurem! But for real, Kyurem got an amazing boost from TS. 140 in both attacks so he can be one of the best mixed attackers in the meta with moves like: Ice Beam, Outrage, Iron Head, Shadow Claw, Stone Edge, Flash Cannon and much more! But wait, That's not all! Kyurem gets a very solid 135 HP with 100 in both defensive stats. That thing can take a hit!
Haxorus
81/152/95/65/75/102
If this thing gets a Dragon Dance up, I don't want to be on the other side...
Omastar
85/75/140/130/85/70
Get this pokemon in the rain and the rest is history...
Also a very solid defensive pokemon, but x4 weakness to grass...
Venomoth
75/70/65/95/80/95
Freaking QD and BP that leads to GG...
Marowak
75/95/125/65/95/60
Those stats dosen't look like much huh? Add the item "Thick Club" and Bam! You have 190 attack stat.
Zangoose
88/130/75/75/75/105
Toxic Boost + STAB Facade + 130 Att?
This is Sparta my friend..
Kingler
70/145/130/75/75/90
Scarf + Crabhammer= Awesome!
Scarf + Crabhammer + Rain= Awesomer!
Edited and added defensive threats :Dyou may want to add heracross, weezing, politoed, seismetoad, and a few others. Include other defensive threats like tangrowth.
ninjask's problem is lack of coverage and is very priority weak. Also, requiring setup to do good damage to anything isn't really that great. Stick to scolipede.ninjask @ Focus Sash
Ability: N/A (either one works... take your pick)
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd
Abdamant nature (+atk -spa)
-Swords Dance
-X-Scissor
-Night Slash
-Return
Tier: NU
base stats: (76/105/60/65/65/175)
umm... ouch. (swords dance - hung on with focus sash - sweeps team)
+2 252+ Atk Ninjask X-Scissor vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 414-487 (57.9 - 68.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
...and I made blissey UU (hp can't change)
Your opponent's team is awful; it gets 6-0'd by Calm Mind Reuniclus/Sigilyph...this my friends, is how to beat tier shift stall:http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/tiershift-129689546
also alomoala may be the most broken thing ever
hmm I can agree with that. I definitely know I could've played that match better. I probably should have sent out my SR golurk first, but was worried about toxic spikes more. My big misplay however is the fact that I allowed abomasnow to get burned. Had I simply sacked something instead, I could have pretty easily handled that team with it as my abomasnow is mixed, carrying earthquake and ice shard.Your opponent's team is awful; it gets 6-0'd by Calm Mind Reuniclus/Sigilyph...
In my view, though, the best counter to stall is Gothitelle. She single-handedly shuts down practically every defensive Poke, save for Sableye, Spiritomb, and other Darks. I like Goth a lot in this particular meta because, unlike in OU, certain bulky Pokes are so good (like Alomomola, as you mentioned) that they find their way on to balanced or offense-leaning teams; as a result, she is rarely ever dead.
But yeah, if you want to consistently do well in this meta, it's important to have a way to break through defensive strategies, especially Regen spam, whether it is through sheer strength or with a designated stall-breaker.
your opponent was obviously a bad player. Seriously, who even uses earth power on krookodile? Also, verizion is kind of "meh". While base 138 sp def and base 118 speed are impressive, base 83 defense is not. In a meta like this, any decent physical attacker or fletchinder/talonflame can anilate verizion. Scarfers or just mons that outspeed can easily end a verizion sweep(cough cough scarf rampardos).
It's easy. The Mega-Pokemon Mevoling from the Mega stone get thier stats reducted like normal Uber Pokemon. So Kangaskhan would get +something in it's stats, while Mega-Kangaskhan would get -15 in it's stats (Bar HP, because Megas dosen't change their hitpoints.But ofc there is the issue about what should we do with banned Megastone in case we drop ubers.
That's inconsistant with the current policy regarding Megas.It's easy. The Mega-Pokemon Mevoling from the Mega stone get thier stats reducted like normal Uber Pokemon. So Kangaskhan would get +something in it's stats, while Mega-Kangaskhan would get -15 in it's stats (Bar HP, because Megas dosen't change their hitpoints.
I just faced a TR team and it's ok but it's still really easily played around. I feel like you're better off using a weather instead of trick room since you can at least get 8 turns out of it instead of 5. (It's also not a good strategy in OU lol).I'm wondering how trick room fares in this meta
I find it to be one of the best strategies across every single tier, ou included.
TR is an incredibly good strategy in ou..I just faced a TR team and it's ok but it's still really easily played around. I feel like you're better off using a weather instead of trick room since you can at least get 8 turns out of it instead of 5. (It's also not a good strategy in OU lol).
Either it isn't and people stopped using it before I started playing or it is and people don't like using borked mons on this ladder.I haven't gotten around to playing the Meta yet. Is Haxorus as effective as everyone predicted it to be?
