X-Mons



A new mutation has been discovered in the Pokemon gene pool! After years of introducing X Attack, X Defense, X Sp. Atk, X Sp. Def, and X Speed to the environment, something strange has happened. Now whenever a Pokemon raises or lowers a permanent stat in battle, the affected stat is always the highest. And if a move raises or lowers more than one stat, then the next highest stat is affected, and so on. This remarkable new discovery has led to all sorts of crazy new setup strategies. See below for some examples!



Rules:

Mechanic
: Stat boosts and drops are now applied depending on a Pokemon's order of stats, from highest to lowest. HP, Evasion, and Accuracy are excluded.
Clauses: OU clauses
Bans: OU banlist
Unbans: Aegislash


Using Mew as an example we can see the mechanics in action:


If Mew has the following spread 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe, Timid, its in-game stats are:
341 / 212 / 236 / 299 / 237 / 328.

  • If it uses the moves Nasty Plot or Swords Dance, it raises its Speed by 2 because Speed is its highest stat.

  • If it uses the moves Calm Mind or Bulk Up, it raises its Speed and Special Attack by 1 each, because Speed and Special Attack are its two highest stats.

  • If it uses the move Shell Smash, first it lowers Speed and Special Attack by 2 each, because those are its 2 highest stats. It then raises Defense, Special Defense, and Speed by 2 each, because those are now its 3 highest stats.

  • If it uses the move Overheat, it lowers its Speed by 2 because Speed is its highest stat. If it uses Overheat again, it lowers its Special Attack by 2 because Special Attack is now its highest stat.

  • If a Pokemon Intimidates it, its Speed is lowered by 1 because Speed is its highest stat.

  • If a Paralyzed Mew uses Curse, it lowers its Special Attack by 1 because that's its highest stat, then it raises Special Defense and Defense by 1 each because those are its new highest stats.

Strategy:

Increased Viability

Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe (297 / 191 / 192 / 417 / 267 / 328)
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dragon Dance
- Fire Blast
- Solar Beam
- Focus Blast

With the spread above, "special" Dragon Dance will raise Mega Charizard Y's Speed and Special Attack.



Landorus-Therian (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
- Knock Off

Intimidate is bound to be the anti-meta ability of choice because it drops the target's highest stat by 1. This metagame is sure to revolve around Speed, so running Scarf Intimidate is a good way to keep a lot of threats in check, as you're nearly guaranteed to outspeed the target after the Intimidate drop.

Decreased Viability


Manaphy @ Life Orb
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe (341 / 184 / 236 / 299 / 237 / 328)
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tail Glow
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Energy Ball

Manaphy isn't necessarily going to be bad, but its standard Tail Glow set is no longer as good with the spread above. Tail Glow now boosts Speed by 3 if Manaphy runs a Timid nature, and if it switches to Modest, it misses out on the positive base 100 Speed benchmark.


Serperior @ Life Orb
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe (291 / 139 / 227 / 272 / 226 / 324)
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Dragon Pulse
- Giga Drain

Even if you run a Modest nature, Serperior's highest stat is still Speed, meaning Leaf Storm will always increase Speed after each use rather than the coveted Special Attack. The only way to remedy this is to give Serperior Choice Specs, which does allow you to run a positive Speed nature again, but it also locks you into attacks and won't hit hard enough if you're not clicking Leaf Storm.


Terrakion @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe (323 / 357 / 217 / 162 / 216 / 346)
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge

Moves that inflict self stat drops are very unfavorable in most situations now. After Terrakion uses Close Combat it drops its Attack and Speed, making sweeps with the move out of the question.

Q&A:

Q
: What if a Pokemon's highest stat is tied?
A: The boost(s) will be applied randomly between the tied stats first before looking for the next highest stat. (If Attack is highest and Speed/Defense are tied for second, Bulk Up will boost Attack first and then pick between Speed and Defense randomly.)

Q: What happens to moves/abilities that raise stats randomly, such as Acupressure?
A: If Acupressure tries to raise a permanent stat, it will always raise the highest one. If they tries to raise Accuracy or Evasion, those stats are raised instead.

Q: Why are Accuracy and Evasion excluded from the mechanic?
A: Accuracy and Evasion can never be a Pokemon's "highest stat." They can still be affected, however, by any moves/items/abilities that specifically target Accuracy or Evasion such as Defog, Double Team, and the Accuracy boost from Coil.

Q: How does status work?
A: Paralysis always cuts Speed down to 1/4, and if Speed used to be the highest stat, any boosts will now look at the new highest stat to increase. The same applies to burns, which cut Attack by 1/2.

Q: What about other things that affect in-game stats?
A: The mechanic looks for the highest stat regardless of what's modifying it. A Pokemon with Pure Power will likely have Attack as its highest, so using Agility will raise Attack by 2. Choice items, Thick Club, Light Ball, Guts, and any other in-game stat modifiers are taken into account when calculating the highest stat. If a Pokemon loses an ability/item that affects its highest stat, the new highest stat is used.

Q: What about abilities that actively raise/lower stats, such as Weak Armor, Defiant, Rattled, Intimidate, Sap Sipper, etc?
A: They will always raise/lower the highest stat accordingly. Weak Armor lowers the highest stat by 1 first then raises the new highest stat by 1. Defiant first lowers the highest stat by 1 and raises the new highest stat by 2. Other abilities like Unburden and Quick Feet won't target the highest stat, as they don't apply actual boosts to the active Pokemon.

Banned deucer.
Why was X banned/unbanned?


Aegislash
Unless I'm mistaken, boosts to Defense or Special Defense while in Shield forme do not carry over to Blade Forme, meaning a Swords Dance in Shield forme will raise a defensive stat and when Aegislash attacks the boosts are ignored.

Chansey can use calm mind as a pseudo cosmic power to raise both its defenses plus the boost from eviolite. Might be worth something.
 
Moody Smeargle looks really good. You can more easily get hazards, sleep, and destiny bond off with its speed boost and Spiky Shield or Kings Shield.

Speaking of hazards, Sticky Web is pretty interesting and basically murders stall all by itself. Against most offensive threats it does the same thing as it usually does, but wallbreakers and walls get smacked with -1 attack or defense which renders them a lot less useful.

Intimidate is also a good wallbreaking tool, since it can lower defenses.

Moves like Iron Tail and Razor Shell could also see some usage, since they drop the opponents stats.
 
Workup mega medicham. Gg.

Yikes weakness policy dragonite got a whole lot better. It can just run four attacks now, sine it can get +2/+2 at/spe from the item activating.

Stall will be tough to work, I imagine, since every ground and rock type become a wallbreaker with rock polish. Something like venom drench golbat will be pretty nasty at checking all boosters.

Stockpile quagsire might become the unaware wall of this meta, since it's really the only unaware user that can boost both defenses. (Maybe stored power clef. Haven't looked at its stats)

Mega ampharos also gets the OH LAWDY award for having +3 SpA mold breaker TBolt thanks to cotton guard. mega banette also gets +3 to its 165 attack and has double priority.

So then assuming stall has died, offensive threats might include barrier mega alakazam or sacred sword terrakion, which might be of some use against things that try to boost. Calm mind is basically going to act as a special dragon dance for lots of stuff. Work up mega pidgeot Seems scary.

Mega Gardevoir and Ballade also seem great with calm mind enabling them to be sweepers, rather than wall breakers.

Eevee General how do form changes work? In the case of Meloetta, Aegislash and darmanitan? (Or even mega that get a big boost to one stat)

For example: Aegislash in shield form uses atomize, raising it's Defense by 2. Then it uses shadow ball. Does the +2 now get retroactively applied to SpA?

lucky n bad
Just a note, but Belly Drum normally raises Attack 12 stages, so here it'd raise [highest stat] 12 stages. (this is relevant vs things like intimidate)

Calm Mind/Bulk Up sound fun. CM Keldeo, anyone? It also gets Nasty Plot Swords Dance whic- who am I kidding, it essentially gets NP now.
Dragon Dance Cosmic Power Lopunny sounds fun, too, as offense will likely be prevelant and it craps all over offense.

One question - how does Sticky Web interact with this? Would it lower the highest stat on entry? If so, I can see Smeargle/Galvantula/Shuckle being decently common.

...speaking of Shuckle, Shell Smash? It doesn't need contrary anymore and SS is now Cosmic Power + SD/NP/Agility for it. Resttalk could prove extremely irritating to deal with.

Sticky Web lowers the highest stat upon switch-in.

Shell Smash actually applies +1/+1/+2 boosts, because first it raises the highest 3 stats by 2 each then lowers the highest 2 stats by 1 each. So if you want Speed at +2 afterward you have to make it your Pokemon's 3rd highest stat.
 
Scarfed Victini can lower spattack instead of speed when v-creating with the right EV's. 180 power with stab at 492 speed is a significant threat. Still loses to powerful priority moves especially with the defense drops.

A question. Regular Metagross' stats even with max Speed has higher Defense (regular Metagross has 296 minimum Defense while Jolly max Speed tagross only reach 262). Once it Megaevos, the Speed stats will be higher than the Def (it will have 350 Speed and 335 Def). In that case, what stats will it raise, assuming Metagross runs max Atk max Speed?

Because I'm thinking of this set.


Metagross @ Metagrossite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe (301 / 389 / 336 / 221 / 257 / 350)
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hone Claws ( basically a Dragon Dance)
- Meteor Mash
- Zen headbutt
- Hammer Arm/Thunderpunch/Grass Knot/Ice Punch (use Naive)

This is basically a Dragon Dancing Metagross that'll destroy many offensive teams as well as some Stall (if it exist). If you have Grass Knot for Slowbro or something, use Naive Nature. The last slot is intended for specific needs, though I don't think Ice Punch is needed.


Azumarill@ Life Orb
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe (341 / 218 / 197 / 140 / 196 / 199)
Adamant Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Amnesia ( basically a Swords Dance)
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Waterfall/Knock Off

There's some advantages of Swords Dance over belly Drum, that is Swords Dance users are able to survive longer due to not cutting HP. Because of that, Swords Dance users can carry Life Orb with them, giving them initial power in case they aren't able to set up, while Belly Drum users are stuck with Sitrus Berry to increase longevity because they use their own HP. I think this might be better than the standard Belly Drum Azumarill.
 
Mega medi with bulk up is basically a dragon dance if i understood correctly right ?

This meta seens interesting but kinda broken idk. Looking forward to play it
 
Also, if you swords dance with max attack it fails. Would it work like that with your max stat or just go to the next highest?

Chopin I believe Hone Claws boosts the Highest Stat + accuaracy, based on how Coil os said to work in this metagame

The Xatu Warrior
so...can i ask why moody and accupressure only raises the highest stat? even if its a percentage, its like changing muddy water to change the modifier of the accuracy drop, because theres only a small percentage of the drop happening. regardless on the percentage of boosting or not, accupressure and moody have a percentage based chance to boost evasion and accuracy, which should be the case since evasion and accuracy ignore the rules of this meta, and thus, ignores the fact that its replaced by raising the highest stat. i just dont get why moody and accupressure get special treatment, and not moves like defog, and coil, or something like muddy water, which has roughly the same chance to lower accuracy. randomized or not, the chance is still there. and removing it for convenience makes no sense.
 
To be honest I'm not sure why Evasion and Accuracy are excluded in the first place. Obviously they can't be a Pokemon's highest stat, so Intimidate will never lower your Accuracy or anything, but they're still boostable stats. Considering Evasion moves are banned and Accuracy is generally a bad stat to boost (with a few exceptions), I'd just go all the way and convert Accuracy/Evasion boosts into boosts of your highest stat. This would not only solve the Moody dilemma Lcass mentioned above, but it would add some fun quirks to the meta (Defog can be used as a debuff as well as hazard control).

I also kind of disagree with the Aegislash unban. Swords Dance is considered to be its third best set so the fact that it loses it is is no big loss. In fact, Aegislash gains a debatable buff to King's Shield, as it will be more detrimental to foes that don't rely on their Attack--for instance, if Sp. Def Mandibuzz tries to Knock Off Aegislash on a King's Shield, it will become very vulnerable to Aegislash's attacks:

252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Flash Cannon vs. -2 240 HP / 216+ SpD Mandibuzz: 246-289 (58.4 - 68.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
 
You forgot to mention Power-Up Punch in the second post in the list of boosting moves. Also, items that raise stats, like pinch berries and Weakness Policy. Pinch berries seem pretty useless, but Weakness Policy definitely doesn't.


Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 60 HP / 252 Atk / 196 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Agility
- Extreme Speed
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake

Possibly the strongest Extreme Speed abuser. It's a tossup between this and Dragon Dance, though. This set is way more reliant on Extreme Speed, but that could be a good thing, especially in a metagame where everything boosts their speed.


Alakazam @ Alakazite
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Barrier/Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball

If you use Barrier pre-mega, it boosts Speed, but if you use it post-mega, it boosts Special Attack. Or you can use Calm Mind and boost both Speed and Special Attack regardless of which form you are in. I still think Barrier is cooler, cause Alakazam is pretty fast anyways, and it gives you options if you can predict a switch.


Dragonite @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake

Weakness Policy has received a pretty notable buff in this metagame. This Dragonite looks fairly standard, but the difference here is that now Weakness Policy raises this Dragonite's Speed and Attack by 2, letting it outspeed way more than it normally would. This is important in a metagame where basically everything has speed boosting moves: getting to +3 speed in one turn can be huge.


Mamoswine @ Life Orb/Focus Sash/Lum Berry
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly/Adamant Nature
- Amnesia
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash/Knock Off

Unlike something like Weavile, Mamoswine actually has the natural bulk to set up with Amnesia. Thick Fat doesn't hurt either. Mamoswine looks like it could be another strong priority sweeper/wallbreaker, that could actually benefit from the metagame if Landorus-Therian and Dragonite end up being really common.

Ursaring @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Quick Feet
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Bulk Up
- Facade
- Earthquake
- Close Combat
Pros:
Outspeeds 252+ Mega Lopunny and Mega Manetric after bulk up and toxic orb
Outspeeds 252+ Base 105 Scarfers
140 BP STAB move coming off of almost 540 Attack

Cons:
Low Bulk makes it hard to set up
 
Regigigas has powerful ATK but is useless due to slow start. However with assault vest and the right EV's Regigigas can remain an offensive powerhouse by dropping his defense and special defense instead by keeping them one above his attack.
Regigigas @ Assault Vest
Ability: Slow Start

Keep in mind that Close Combat would lower the same stats that Bulk Up raises, so I'd suggest using Cross Chop as a replacement, or running Crunch to hit Gengar (and Bronzong, I guess).

With this spread, Regigigas's Attack would still be higher than its Defense, so Regigigas's Attack and Special Defense would be lowered if it were the target of, say, Tickle. However, in X-Mons, only actual stat boosts like the ones you would get from using Swords Dance, etc. are actually affected by which stat is your highest. Other modifiers, such as Slow Start and Assault Vest, are always applied to the stat they would normally change in standard play.

One side effect of boosts always being applied to the highest stats is that bulky set-up sweepers can be severely limited in what spreads they can use. Take Gliscor for example:

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 244 HP / 140 Atk / 68 SpD / 56 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Agility
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Roost
The normal Swords Dance set usually runs 244 HP / 8 Def / 200+ SpD / 56 Spe so it can set up on more Pokemon. However, due to Gliscor's naturally high Defense, that set would only end up boosting Defense, even with such minimal investment. Therefore, Gliscor must actually run 140+ Attack if it wants to use Agility (which has more PP) to boost Attack, and while this does mean it hits harder, it also means it's far less bulky than usual. Not to mention, in a meta where most everything will be running their own customized set-up, the loss of bulk may not even matter too much. Bulky set-up like poor Gliscor here may be a thing of the past.
 

UNAWARE
But seriously, unaware Pokemon are really nice. They're able to beat common set up sweeper and Quag / Clef can both Counter-Set up ignoring their stat boosts. It just makes Pokemon like this a real nuisance to take down.

For Example Quagsire:



quagsire @ leftovers | unaware
relaxed nature | 252 def / 92 hp / 164 spd
scald / curse / recover / earthquake

(354 / 206 / 295 / 166 / 207 / 95)

Just Switch into physically offensive Pokemon and proceed to set up with curse fire off scalds at flying types and cripple them with a burn and then spam EQ to everything else. Recover when needed. EVs are so that your special defense is higher than your attack.

Clefable:



clefable @ leftovers | unaware
calm nature | 76 hp / 252 spd / 180 def
calm mind / moonblast / moonlight / heal bell

(350 / 158 / 227 / 226 / 306 / 156)

This does lose out on the perk which is soft boiled and is worn down by status, it can still be a decent stop to special set up sweepers though I have a strong feeling physical sweepers are going to be a lot more common. See above EVs are so that your defense is higher than your special attack.
 
Keep in mind that Close Combat would lower the same stats that Bulk Up raises, so I'd suggest using Cross Chop as a replacement, or running Crunch to hit Gengar (and Bronzong, I guess).


With this spread, Regigigas's Attack would still be higher than its Defense, so Regigigas's Attack and Special Defense would be lowered if it were the target of, say, Tickle. However, in X-Mons, only actual stat boosts like the ones you would get from using Swords Dance, etc. are actually affected by which stat is your highest. Other modifiers, such as Slow Start and Assault Vest, are always applied to the stat they would normally change in standard play.

That's the whole point. Assault vest brings his defense and spdef above his attack causing them to be dropped by slow start.

Edit: Realised assault vest only boosts spdef so this spread would be used instead
Regigigas @ Assault Vest
Ability: Slow Start
EVs: 128 Atk / 252 Def / 128 Spe
Bold Nature
- Return
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Knock Off

Banned deucer.
so...can i ask why moody and accupressure only raises the highest stat? even if its a percentage, its like changing muddy water to change the modifier of the accuracy drop, because theres only a small percentage of the drop happening. regardless on the percentage of boosting or not, accupressure and moody have a percentage based chance to boost evasion and accuracy, which should be the case since evasion and accuracy ignore the rules of this meta, and thus, ignores the fact that its replaced by raising the highest stat. i just dont get why moody and accupressure get special treatment, and not moves like defog, and coil, or something like muddy water, which has roughly the same chance to lower accuracy. randomized or not, the chance is still there. and removing it for convenience makes no sense.
I'll make it so Moody and Acupressure can raise Evasion and Accuracy but I'm re-banning Moody because the Evasion boosts are still uncompetitive.

Acupressure should work thusly: 6 out of 8 times it will raise the highest stat by 2, the other 2 out of 8 times will be either Accuracy or Evasion.
To be honest I'm not sure why Evasion and Accuracy are excluded in the first place. Obviously they can't be a Pokemon's highest stat, so Intimidate will never lower your Accuracy or anything, but they're still boostable stats. Considering Evasion moves are banned and Accuracy is generally a bad stat to boost (with a few exceptions), I'd just go all the way and convert Accuracy/Evasion boosts into boosts of your highest stat. This would not only solve the Moody dilemma Lcass mentioned above, but it would add some fun quirks to the meta (Defog can be used as a debuff as well as hazard control).

I also kind of disagree with the Aegislash unban. Swords Dance is considered to be its third best set so the fact that it loses it is is no big loss. In fact, Aegislash gains a debatable buff to King's Shield, as it will be more detrimental to foes that don't rely on their Attack--for instance, if Sp. Def Mandibuzz tries to Knock Off Aegislash on a King's Shield, it will become very vulnerable to Aegislash's attacks:

252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Flash Cannon vs. -2 240 HP / 216+ SpD Mandibuzz: 246-289 (58.4 - 68.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
I excluded Evasion & Accuracy from the mechanic because 1) they can't be the highest stat and that's the premise of this OM so allowing those boosts to affect the highest stat is unfair and 2) because they can't be the highest stat you could never boost Accuracy in this metagame, which is still relevant for some things like Coil Milotic, Smeargle, Zygarde, etc which appreciate higher accuracy Hydro Pumps, Dark Voids, Stone Edges, etc.

I'd like to see Aegislash in action first tbh. I think it could help slow down some of the powerhouses. I'm also thinking of unbanning Blaziken now that Speed Boost can't raise its Speed.
You forgot to mention Power-Up Punch in the second post in the list of boosting moves. Also, items that raise stats, like pinch berries and Weakness Policy. Pinch berries seem pretty useless, but Weakness Policy definitely doesn't.
I didn't forget it's just a work in progress.
That's the whole point. Assault vest brings his defense and spdef above his attack causing them to be dropped by slow start.
Slow Start is not affected by this metagame because the ability doesn't apply actual boosts/drops.

To make it easier, if you see a +/-N value on Pokemon Showdown, it's affected by this metagame's mechanics. If it's a "soft" change like Unburden, Slow Start, Defeatist, etc, it works how it does normally.

Now for some cool strats:


Diancie-Mega @ Diancite
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Calm Mind (+1 Attack & Speed)
- Diamond Storm (+1 Attack)

In order to run this set you have to sacrifice Special Attack, which unfortunately means you have either 1) shit physical coverage or 2) weakened Moonblasts and Earth Powers to run alongside Diamond Storm.

You could always have Diamond Storm boost Special Attack too for the stronger Moonblast. Also Moonblast is an anti-meta move in itself with that 30% chance to lower the target's highest stat. Overall Mega Diancie looks like a lot of fun.


Malamar @ Life Orb
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Superpower (+1 Attack & Speed)
- Knock Off
- Psycho Cut
- Rock Slide

MacChaeger discovered this:
Shell Smash applies the drops first, meaning you lower your two highest stats by 1 and then double the next 3 highest stats. For example with a standard Cloyster:

Cloyster @ Focus Sash
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe (241 / 317 / 396 / 185 / 127 / 239)
Adamant Nature
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Razor Shell

So first Shell Smash drop Attack and Defense by 1 each, lowering them to 211 and 264 respectively, then it raises Attack, Defense, and Speed by 2 each. The end result is this:
241 / 422 / 528 / 185 / 127 / 478.

Now look at this spread:
EVs: 132 Atk / 124 SpA / 252 Spe (241 / 259 / 396 / 260 / 113 / 239)
Rash Nature

In this instance, Shell Smash will lower Defense and Special Attack by 1 each, then double Attack, Defense, and Speed by 2. The end result is this:
241 / 518 / 528 / 173 / 113 / 478. It may look counter-intuitive to purposefully EV in a stat you won't use, but for the sake of Shell Smash, it makes sense.

Edit: Curse also lowers Speed first

Remember that Curse boosts your two highest stats, then drops the highest stat. On that Quagsire, it would just entail boosting SpD by one stage, which is a waste of a moveslot. Might as well run Toxic. Also, Clefable already gets Cosmic Power in standard and it sucks there too, so I wouldn't bother with it.

Also, those spreads are bad for your bulk, and neither has the statline to let them be less bulky. Each will probably be called on to take hits from both sides of the spectrum since there's so much boosting in this meta, so it pays to maximize HP and just forego the boosting altogether.

Anyways, (Mega) Sharpedo and Scolipede have higher Attack than Speed when they go Adamant, so their Speed Boost will increase their Attack by one stage every turn. Even switching in your check gives them two free turns -- one where they can attack, and another while they Protect, so your options for dealing with them are limited. The best one is probably to just boost before they get on the field at all.

It turns out that Curse actually drops the highest stat first (see the video in the post above yours) so it's not good on any walls now.
