A lot of the time people switch in Landorus-T to Landorus-T. This is setup fodder so you can SD as they come in and RP on the next turn as they switch out leaving you at +1/+2.Everytime I see a double-dance set, I ask myself how the f this works, how do you get two turns of set-up? But then I realised that the utility is probably more about getting the right dance depending on the situation. Is this how it works?
Quoting Smogon itself: Taunt Users: Taunt users such as Thundurus, Mega Gardevoir, and Gengar prevent Klefki from using its support moves such as Spikes, Thunder Wave, Light Screen, and Reflect. However, the latter two are severely crippled by Thunder Wave.anyway what do you guys screens klefki on offensive teams
Uh noIf you're running double dance, you need smack down because it hits skarmory and and reliably beats talonflame. Also you can't run leftovers over soft sand because you lose out on two hit KOs of quagsire.
Smack Down isn't a necessity at all. In fact I'd argue that it is v. suboptimal on DD. You miss out on, like, 1 pokemon with Stone Edge iirc whereas Stone Edge actually provides some form of presence v.s. ungrounded Pokémon before setup without needing to waste a turn hitting them with a weak move to ground them - not to mention that Skarm would just switch out after being hit by Smack Down anyway, meaning that it needs to catch it on the switch-in to be useful. Seriously, this move is only useful if you need to specifically lure Skarmory, and if you want to do that you sure as hell don't do it on DD as it simply doesn't have enough moveslots to take full advantage of it without significantly compromising its ability to fulfill its role on any given team.If you're running double dance, you need smack down because it hits skarmory and and reliably beats talonflame.

DD lando T is a late game clean up or even wallbreaker. Smack down is good to lure in like rotom wash and skarmory no doubt but stone edge is just more powerful and wallbreaks better but smack down doesn't seem like a bad choice though whenever I use lando T I almost always use defensiveIf you're running double dance, you need smack down because it hits skarmory and and reliably beats talonflame.

In the case of sand exca, though? With limited turns of sand it really wants to be sweeping, not to mention you have to give up sd if you want to run spin... and in a meta with lots of helmet lando etc, you really need sd these days.
And yeah bulky starmie is the best spinner right now, rt + scald getting it past bish and ferro is really
Thundurus T and fast electric in general aren't very good. The only 2 good electric right now are magnezone and thundurus I. Thundurus T hasn't been good ever since Thundurus I was allowed in OU in gen 6how about double dance thundy-t what's your guys opinions on that?
Zapdos isn't very good right now and even in X and Y it wasn't. Its outclassed in terms of defog by the likes of lati twins worn down easily ect. The only reason to use it is to blanket check torn T which rotom wash is a much more splashable mon to use over Zapdos since its a better ground immunity better defensive typing and its ability to check top tower threats like Lando T azumarill (kind of) and blanket check every common bird in the OU meta like talonflame mega pinsir and especially torn T. Levitate and water typing give it the ability to also blanket check rain teams(which isnr too common and good right now) and sand teams which are very commonI also think Zapdos is a respectable Pokemon in OU if you know how to use it, there's also Rotom Wash which is on a ton of teams lately.
Yeah, it's outclassed, but I like to use Zapdos over the Latis because of shared weaknesses I don't want to have and because I also don't like to be pursuit trapped.Zapdos isn't very good right now and even in X and Y it wasn't.

Don't use Zapdos over Latios ever dude lol. Zapdos isn't even good its a good. Bird check and a defogger that isn't pursuit trapped but Latios is easily s lot better and is still a lot more splashable with a lot better and more key resistancesYeah, it's outclassed, but I like to use Zapdos over the Latis because of shared weaknesses I don't want to have and because I also don't like to be pursuit trapped.
