sludge bomb is better than sludge wave
Not when you're facing Substitute or another Snorlax...you only need one move and evs other than hp are useless

If the opponent is behind a Substitute or is an Imposter you don't copy them. Thus it is important to have a good moveset in case you fail to copy them.you only need one move and evs other than hp are useless
Not necessarily. What if the opponent is itself a transformed Snorlax, or behind a Substitute, or an Illusion? It's happened to me before.you only need one move and evs other than hp are useless
Very original, seems like a pretty good way of dealing with Greninja. I'm guessing Bug Buzz is an OHKO. You might want to consider Encore > Me First if you haven't actually used Me First at all. Also, the set is walled by Torkoal :(Accelgor (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature
- Me First
- Bug Buzz
- Focus Blast
- Giga Drain
This is the ultimate anti greninja set, it outspeed greninja and absorbs its priority as a SpA increase. Normally see's at least two KO's a game. Outspeeds Weavile too and packs the moves to dispose of it. Me First is something I've not really played around with, only had a few games with him on my team, but I reckon it could see some use!
k i never use imposter so this loophole was unknown to meIf the opponent is behind a Substitute or is an Imposter you don't copy them. Thus it is important to have a good moveset in case you fail to copy them.

^i was just picking random movesI think he mostly just wanted random filler moves. However, even then, I would recommend using a better moveset. (I use Curselax as my "backup plan," for instance.)
The same way you deal with them in any other meta; scarfers, applying offensive pressure to prevent them from setting up, powerful priority, or just having something that can take a boosted hit and kill them in return.After imposter gets banned, what will be the best ways to deal with setup sweepers?
Sure, Greninja is OP, but to say that Dusclops is the only Pokemon that can stop it is a bit of an exaggeration. Fur Coat Gourgeist-Super works as well, that Accelgor from above looked pretty good, and I'm sure there are many others.When will Greninja be banned? I see it on 9/10 teams I face...
The only Pokemon that can stop it is Fur Coat 252 Def Dusclops @eviolite with w.o.w.
At least Kecleon deserves Pure Power.
Priority will almost certainly kill Weavile, thoughalso if priority doesn't kill you brick break weavile can OHKO a greninja
at max hp it takes 4 hitsPriority will almost certainly kill Weavile, though
relying on a coin toss isn't a good way to revenge kill, and it doesn't need priority to take weavil down if it has a scarf.at max hp it takes 4 hits
This is more proof of how greninja is brokenrelying on a coin toss isn't a good way to revenge kill, and it doesn't need priority to take weavil down if it has a scarf.
I never said he wasn't, I agree that greninja is brokenThis is more proof of how greninja is broken
I thought you thought I was trying to say greninja wasn't brokenI never said he wasn't, I agree that greninja is broken
