I have the same opinion with I'm Rick Astley ,no switch in these days doesn't really should be the sufficient and necessary condition to ban something. Scald has almost no switch-ins too,just like pursuit against Hoopa-U,Magic Guard,Nature Cure and Water Absorb/Storm Drain are the only answer...

Can OHKO defensive Landorus-T after one time SR damage,while Icy Wind cannot guarantee this. But I personally prefer Icy Wind.

HP Ice gives Torn-T ability to check Garchomp/Landorus-T/Gliscor,by switching into EQ and hit back."it doesnt hit anything which Hurricane doesn't" is true,but it can OHKO something Hurricane can not. 252 SpA Life Orb Tornadus-T Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 8 SpD Landorus-T: 364-432 (95.2 -...

If my memory is right,Talonflame can get a 351 Speed without a Jolly Nature,faster than Mega Diancie who has 350 Max Speed. A Jolly Nature is a must if you wanna Flare Blitz a Thundurus,who has 353 Speed as a maximum.

I‘d say HP Tran or HP something whatever does exist,in a pretty wide range,such as Gliscor and Rotom-W who run max Speed/a huge amount of Speed and put its rest EVs into HP and a bit of Def./SpDef. This EV spread may focus on the Pokemon's utility,such as Will-o-Wisp Rotom-W,Baton Pass...

Hoopa-Unbound A+ -> S Neutral Rotom-W A -> A+ Agreed Hoopa-U has a bad matchup against the mainstream nowadays aka Offense,and Sand Offense doesn't leave Hoopa-U much momentum due to the Sand Rush Exca and Tyranitar, Tyranitar can act as a shaky check switching into some of Hoopa-U's Choice...

Does Showdown crash frequently and lose teams in cookies these days?Or just problem of my network?

Okay I know,problem is the word "dangerous" and "threat"(in the 2nd last post I've ever posted,might be different from yours),I mean the pressure a Pokemon put to its opponent on operating - move selecting or switch selecting - according to the result of the Pokemon's move. I think the...

DracoNinja I'm trying to list all the checks and switch in chances of about the Viability of Landorus-T ('s Bulky set,which I think is the most viable set rn,if it can get to the S Rank it is this set it should thank to),I find talking with theory is not objective and may leads to pointless...

Garchomp<Landorus-T IMO,yeah I agree with your suggestion about Garchomp. Lando-T IMO is a combination of Tank and Pivot,while Tank Chomp is a Tank which acts a bit worse than Lando-T both on offensive and defensive sides,while also a Contact Punisher,or...a U-Turn Punisher,but unlike STAB...

I think the best set for Lando-T is its defensive set,or bulky offensive SR set,whatever.Scarf is a waste of its viability,or to be strict,a trash. It runs almost max HP,almost max Defense or Attack,almost no Speed investment,an EQ/UT/SR+whatever move-selection,acts as a hard-hitting bulky...

I've seen an interesting Power-up Punch/Shadow Sneak/Knock Off/Recover Mega Sableye set,which can act as a mediocre wincon late-game when facing the balance and stall team,just like all the other Bulky-Boost-Recover Pokemon.

Short Baton Pass Offensive Core Charizard-Mega-X + Celebi Charizard-Mega-X @ Charizardite X Ability: Blaze EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Roost - Swords Dance / Dragon Dance - Dragon Claw - Flare Blitz Celebi @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 Spe...

Thunder Punch has a big chance failing to Roost-spam + rocky helmet,it's a gambit on RNG. 252 Atk Tough Claws Mega Metagross Thunder Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 132-156 (39.5 - 46.7%) -- 28.1% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock

Tbh your set is pretty pale against almost all the Steel-Type pokemon,and Slowbro,even with a Magnezone to trapping Steel-Types,the duo fail to Heatran. Though the concept of Hone Claw is interesting,an non-All-out-Attacker set really have big coverage problem on Mega Metagross,since...
