Sylveon can do it too with a bit of SpDef investment, it’s capable of taking a +2 Flash Cannon and OHKOing in return with Hyper Voice. Bit of a niche option, but good at checking Hydreigon, Dragapult, and other special attackers.

Thanks so much! Running some speed makes sense since you can’t mess around with Kings Shield, is Steel Beam used on the specs set mainly for mandibuzz, or more of a “whatever mon takes this is going to die”? Or both?

I’ve been hearing a lot about band/specs aegislash and wanted to try them out, but didn’t know the move sets. I was using these two: Aegislash @ Choice Band Ability: Stance Change EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Adamant Nature - Shadow Sneak - Iron Head - Head Smash - Close Combat...

Aurora veil persists even after hail is over, you just can't set it up again when the hail isn't up. Light clay would probably be the better item, even if it might get defogged away.

That makes sense. I liked running specs koko couple months ago, but when I came back to showdown I thought it fell out of flavor. Good to know it’s still a thing. Thanks!

What happened to the choice specs tapu koko set? It used to be pretty common, but now no one uses it at all. What meta change did I miss that made the set unviable/not worth running?

Hey, recently I saw this post on the OU Viability thread by blastablasta “Skarmory is used on some of the most consistent teams in the game, such as James rocks Gucci's Talon Stall sitting at 90% GXE, and einracht sitting at 91% GXE.” What are these teams, or where could I find them? Thanks!

Cool, thanks!

So the choice scarf lando-t set posted currently, is that the bulky scarf set, or is there like a separate secret set that I’m missing out on? Sorry for the noob question!

Hey, in response to your question Counter has negative priority, so it always goes last regardless of speed. This combined with a sash and magic guard make it a great ‘counter’ to physical attackers like t-tar like Diophantine said!

Hey! I really liked this team, I tried it out a bit on ladder and had fun with it. I’m not really experienced with rating teams so keep that in mind if my suggestions aren’t the best. I totally agree with the changes above, I found that t-wave and electrium-z were pretty nice and helped the...

So after playing a lot more with this team today, I've realized a major problem with this team is the lack of any form of priority, allowing lots o set-up sweepers to just tear through everything if I let them. To counteract this, I was thinking of adding SD Mega-Scizor, or SD Mega-Mawile. Which...

Hey, thanks for the advice! I think putting defog on Landorus is a pretty awesome idea, it comes out a lot, and forces a lot of switches. The addition of CM on Latias makes winning a lot easier, but I was thinking to change up its offensive moves a bit by changing Thunderbolt to Psyshock. This...

Introduction Hey, I'm pretty new to making competitive teams, so I wanted some help with my team. At its core, it is a Balanced team with Scarfed Blacephalon as its main win condition. I had a pretty good time making and battling with it but I would like some suggestions on how to improve upon...

I'll definitely try that Charizard-X set, it seems like it would work well, but I'm not sure if Thundurus could take the place of Rotom-Wash because Rotom is such a good wall, I'll try it though and put Excadrill instead. Thanks!
