Reviving a dead topic is something I've always loved to do lol Anyway, today I bring a core that got added in the previous thread (yey!), an offensive core based on LO Salandit and Eviolite Vullaby. However, this was valid for SM: time to go ultra and revamp it for USUM! First of all...

K, didn't see the +2 DDrake, thanks :)

Just a small question: what about slashing Psychic as an OO on Landorus? I noticed this team has some small issues against MegaVenusaur, and even though MonoGround just walks on MonoPoison's bones, I think Psychic can be useful to keep MegaSaur at bay: 252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus...

Think fast, sink faster.

Hot damn sexy, it's rare to find a fast Electric-type with a dedicated Choice Band option. Its STAB is stronger than Wild Charge, with no recoil, and doesn't miss, so it's quite spammable; not to consider it comes from a 112 Atk + Choice Band. Close Combat demolishes...

As far as I know, -ate Abilities change the move's type when the Pokémon uses a Normal-type move, they don't change typing prior to moving; example is a Normal-type Z Move used by an -ate user. The Z move will be Breakneck Blitz, and ignores the -ate ability (otherwise Normalium/Fairium Z...

What about having the chance of turning a possibly-killing Double-Edge/Hyper Voice into a Sitrus Berry? A thing nobody is thinking about is that this move can negate Aerilate/Pixilate; turning them from base Normal to Electric is wonderful, as it can wall Specs Sylveon, MegaSalamence...

I can't love enough the fact that Adamant Scarf Landorus-T hits 421 Spe after the Scarf boost, and unboosted Jolly Zeraora hits 423 Spe.

Gamefreak seems to enjoy making dumb typings on Pokémon that are obviousky that type: >Pinsir. Has 6 Bug-type moves, 13 Fighting-type moves, and one Flying-type move (HP Flying). Fighting mega to battle equally with Mega Heracross? Lol nope, let's change Normal → Flying and add Flying-type...

I thought I found something new.. Hélas lol In any case, Blacephalon found a hard terrain to walk on: even offensive non-Shuca Heatran can easily tank an unboosted HP Ground (I know it sucks, was just saying), Tyranitar literally disintegrates the firecracker in a second since it sports awfully...

Ok guys, we got a problem: yesterday I hacked a Blissey and gave it Flash Fire, just to catch Blacephalon ingame. What I discovered is that if Mind Blown gets blocked by Flash Fire (and I assume Protect/Wide Guard), Blacephalon still gets recoil damage. Now, I know Protect is much less present...

ma faul, read Naganadel

Stakataka with Recover? No please. Seriously, with just +1 Def it can tank Lando's EQ easily, while taking the oneshot with Gyro Ball on the Scarf Lando even at -1 Atk. This thing has all it needs to be successful: self-made Trick Room, meaning you use the full 4 turns you have; a super STAB...

Nvm, I thought you wanted to use Naganadel as a check to Stakataka, my bad

I'm in love with the Choice Scarf set, you can either: - die in 2 turns - being Ghost-locked and trapped by TTar - being Fire-locked and trapped by TTar - die now Jokes aside, I prefer the Scarf set just because it screams "raw power" when its checks are in the graveyard; the boosting Z is...

1v1 Naganadel is unreliable, because the turn Naga sets up, it dies from Gyro Ball or (even worse) goes under Trick Room and goes down the next turn. And nobody mentally sane would ever send Stakataka on a +2 Naganadel :/

I don't think Naganadel can hurt the tower so much, even at +2 Flamethrower won't bring Stak down: +2 252 SpA Naganadel Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Stakataka: 191-225 (58.5 - 69%) -- guaranteed 2HKO While Stak can OHKO Naganadel with the obvious move: 252+ Atk Stakataka Gyro Ball (150 BP)...

Being entities coming from outside planet Earth, it's possible that they developped in a certain way and not caring about terrestrial elements: for example, all the 4x weaknesses found in UBs are weaknesses to either one the four elements of Earth (4x Fire for Kartana, 4x Ground for Nihilego and...

It's just a techno/slime MegaBeedrill

Substitute eats its already shallow HP uselessly (reminder: Kartana now has Knock Off), and stacks with Mind Blown/hazard/residual damage it gets. Even a SubSalac is rather poor, since Knock Off Kartana, Greninja, and others can outspeed and OHKO it or let it self-consume via Mind Blown...
