Running substitute over protect is probably a smart idea as fake out isn't too much of a problem. With substitute you need 5 first turn thaws in a row to beat dragonite.also dome completely walls feebas's set lmao
Its really not, with priority and Flinches. Everything in this meta is overpowered.Seriously? Anger point is SO overpowered.
Sorry but Physical Def Lapras? No, defensive mons are definitely not viable in haxmons.tbh, after playing the meta for a bit, I don't think dragonite is ban worthy. There are several counters/checks such as entrainment hustle durant, physically defensive lapras, ditto and scarf kyu-b
Defensive lapras is viable if anything for dnite alone, and has several moves it can use such as ice beam, body slam and ancientpower, along with giving a nice freeze immunity. Don't call something not viable before using/seeing it.Sorry but Physical Lapras? No, defensive mons are definitely not viable in haxmons.
probably didn't see this at the time, but There is still Golbat and Crobat with Inner Focus, As well as Umbreon, Kangaskhan, Throh, and Hypno. All of those at least have respectable bulk, except for Golbat and Umbreon which have godly bulk. I don't see flinching becoming a problem anytime soon.Defensive lapras is viable if anything for dnite alone, and has several moves it can use such as ice beam, body slam and ancientpower, along with giving a nice freeze immunity.

And banning dnite will just open a massive ban chain, because that will make flinching overpowered, with the only legit inner focus user being lucario. Priority doesn't help either because of feint skuntank.
It can do a little something, but especially with crits involved. Defensive Mons cant really do a thing, Kabutops takes the role for Ice beam/Ancient Power as well having a good offensive pressure with waterfall and priority Aqua jet. The problem with Dnite is its movepoll (Espeed, ice punch, Ominous Wind), the natural bulk it has.Defensive lapras is viable if anything for dnite alone, and has several moves it can use such as ice beam, body slam and ancientpower, along with giving a nice freeze immunity.

I run inner focus crobat with dark pulse. Flinches stuff and can't be flinched.Does anyone know of some good Inner Focus users? Because otherwise I foresee all of my battles as just a race to get out Mega-Aerodactyl first.
I've been running a similar set, although I think mine is spookierSo, as an answer to Dragonite, I run
Froslass (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ice Shard
- Bite
- Destiny Bond
- Ice Punch
So, the point of this set is that it is capable of OHKOing Dragonite (it needs a boosting item for 100%, but it has sash either way) with ice shard. Alongside that, it has a great speed tier, and a useful move in ice punch that lets you freeze opponents. Destiny bond is here because switching is generally a risky prospect in Haxmons, due to everything critting/causing status. That means it's generally easier to just let Froslass die and take the opponent with you.
The point is that all moves that have 100 accuracy have the same accuracy as swift. All other moves have 0 accuracyEvasion\extra elusion from weather abilities mechanics are not well implemented... pokèmon still sometimes hit after a mud slap,and they stillsometimes hit sand veil mons on sandstorm
