Nope, Unaware only ignores direct stat boosts, indirect boosts like Choice items or from abilities like Pure Power or Sheer Force still work.Does Unaware chancel the boost from Guts?

There isn't really one, if there were then Raikou wouldn't be UU. But nothing has really changed for it from last gen, so you can just use one of the BW2 OU sets:Strange as it sounds, I am looking for a set for raikou, that he can use in ou, that's not horribly outclased by another special sweeper?
Lati@s, Togekiss, Blissey/Chansey, I guess. Toge only if it's missing Sludge Wave.So...right. Does anything new from XY actually come close to countering Landorus-I right now, or has it just not been suspected yet?

I guess it was too much to hope :/, i'll see if i can figure a way to take advantage of raikou''s better defences and lack of sr weakness, probably a sub calm mind set.There isn't really one, if there were then Raikou wouldn't be UU.

sweet, i did look for an alayis, but that was before this thread was created, thanks for that, i doubt i should have searched again for it anytime soon lol XD. Your right about usage, alot of this gens useage so far removed from actual viability it's sickening."Wouldn't be UU"
lol yeah just like Deo-D and Keldeo are UU by usage, as well as Terrakion, I believe?
Nah. Usage arguments are horse shit, no pun intended.
Anyway, it is actually getting an OU analysis. It's not done yet, but it could merit a look.

If you still want a faster answer, I've used Raikou extensively.sweet, i did look for an alayis, but that was before this thread was created, thanks for that, i doubt i should have searched again for it anytime soon lol XD.

Heal Bell for synchrobell. It can absorb a toxic, sync it to the sender who probably won't like it, and then you can get rid of it with heal bell. Or you could go foul play, or heal bell and replace one of the others with foul play. Umbreon tends to take a defensive pivot type role, so it might not need toxic itself especially when it's synchronizing an opposing wall's toxic back to them.I'm looking to use an Umbreon this Gen

I am stuck as to finding a fourth move. I'm thinking an attacking move so it isn't complete Taunt bait. Foul Play is not an option because I will be breeding in Gen VI.
Well you could try a choice set and spam blizzards wih support from mega abomansow, glacon is pretty under whelming otherwise, not that the ice head eeveelution was great to begin withI got a Hidden ability Eevee from wonder trade lvl one, is modest and planned to evolve into Glaceon.
Which set is best for Glaceon?
Thats a good choice. but I dont have Black 2 anymore so I might replace signal beam with Shadow ball, HP ground is better choice than HP fire to cover against steels and fire type pokemon. I will get myself abomasnow you mentioned and do that. Will get heatran from a friend or a viable fire type for UU for coverageWell you could try a choice set and spam blizzards wih support from mega abomansow, glacon is pretty under whelming otherwise, not that the ice head eeveelution was great to begin with

I know he's atrocious - I'm just interested in using him for fun, and want to make the most of the Shiny one I already have. I already run Mega Vena on my serious team :pElegy96 Sunflora is one of the worst overall pokemon in the game so its neither be viable, it has good abilities but its stats are not good enough. Try using Pokes like Mega Venusaur or no mega. Or if you want to go offensive, use breloom
I'm 99% sure it's going to get banned. But Heatran can handle almost all Genesect variants, so there's that.What would be a good Genesect check / counter?
Obviously this depends on physical / special variant but people often lead with it so there is no way to tell.
(Or if it gets banned then I don't need to worry about it anymore lol)
Rotom-H resists all of Genesect's common moves except ExtremeSpeed, and it immediately threatens with Overheat. Or it can utilize its slower Volt Switch to give you the switch advantage.What would be a good Genesect check / counter?

Overheat OHKOs all Ferrothorn and all variants of Excadrill except Assault Vest. Flamethrower doesn't. One of Manectric's main advantages over other electrics is that he can handle these mons without being forced to faff about with Focus miss, so Overheat should generally be your move of choice.Why is Overheat ran over Flamethrower on Manectric?
I get that it's a hit and run Pokemon in many instances, but the special attack drop feels too inviting for tanking the now weak and predictable Volt Switch.
