Physical powerhouses like Gatr and Mence are top dogs, while M-Pidgeot is going to be suspected due to No guard Hurricane spam. Bulky offense and HO are pretty common now, while stall/semi-stall are pretty viable thanks to high usage of Snorlax, Florges and Suicune.Can I get a quick meta briefing? I haven't touched UU since BW, but knowing what's broken now would be nice. The last thing I remember using four years ago were HO teams+hail stall tbh.
Nope. Curse might work with proper team help, though.Could a Jolly Autotomize Mega Aggron set be useful at all?
Why is that, for Curse and Autotomize?Nope. Curse might work with proper team help, though.
If you want something to do massive damage with Head Smash I would highly recommend Tyrantrum which can also boost its speed with dragon dance or rock polish :)Could a Jolly Autotomize Mega Aggron set be useful at all?
I would say drop Shaymin for something that can threaten out/ kill mence. As leoLancaster said lo whimsi with encore would be great to still keep your offensive grass type thing going and providing a stop to alot of setup mons.So this is the best team I've made in probably literally years, but it's hella weak to DD/Scarf Salamence. I just lost a game because I threw away Donphan early and had to eat a +1 Dragon Claw with Swampert. Any changes I could make that would help?

The main Fire-types in UU are Entei, Darmanitan, Arcanine and Chandelure, and all of them shave off a significant portion of Chandy's HP. In fact, Entei and Darm can 2HKO Chandelure iirc. Essentially Chandy become a far stronger check to these with Flash Fire.Why is Flash Fire preferred over Infiltrator on Chandelure? Seems like the ability to bypass subs would be more useful than turning a resistance into an immunity.
And the fact that enteis only viable set is choice band being able to deter it from clicking one of the hands down stupidest moves in the game is pretty bigWhy is Flash Fire preferred over Infiltrator on Chandelure? Seems like the ability to bypass subs would be more useful than turning a resistance into an immunity.
Yeah, what LL and roady said above is true, but going for Flame Body might be helpful for SubCM sets, as that lets Chand not be walled by Trace P2 and burn U-turners or whatever, but Flash Fire is the superior choice almost every time.Why is Flash Fire preferred over Infiltrator on Chandelure?

Gunk shot pangoro catches people off guard.Can anybody recommend a great lure to kill fairy types?
I've been running Bulky DD refresh Salamence with great success (broke top 300), but my only problem have been those stubborn battlers who refuse to send their fairy type out against anyone other than mence.
Hydreigon is a nice lure if you don't mind the double Dragon. A specs set with flash cannon will 2HKO physically defensive Florges, or you can use U-turn for chip damage into something that chases it out (such as Mega-Beedrill or Nidoqueen) and just wear it down over time.Can anybody recommend a great lure to kill fairy types?
