Fairy typing, two great abilities and a hilariously deep movepool allow it to fit onto teams very easily. Yes, it's base stats are lacking but they are well-distributed. Overall, it can fit a bunch of different roles. It can be a sweeper (Life Orb Magic Guard), hazard-setter, cleric (although it's somewhat outclassed there) and Unaware Stopper off the top of my head.How is Clefable good? It has no stat over 100, is weak to Scizor and Excadrill's STAB. It's abilities are nice, but still don't make it that great.
Yes, because it only prevents attackingIf you get flinched while you're asleep, does that count as a sleep turn?
If you mean from DPP to B2W2, then yes her team receives a different move pool and they receive items. I would say that they improve for the better, but that's based on opinion.Hey,
I didnt know wehre to ask this, but is cynthias team with movepool and item updates good? If it it's: what would you change?
no, I wanted to ask if I could make it somewhat viable for competetive battling, but thank youIf you mean from DPP to B2W2, then yes her team receives a different move pool and they receive items. I would say that they improve for the better, but that's based on opinion.
Yes, Mainly because it prevents you from making a move, just like sleep.If you get flinched while you're asleep, does that count as a sleep turn?
I'm sure that you can by altering the sets to be more competitively inclinedno, I wanted to ask if I could make it somewhat viable for competetive battling, but thank you
No, mixed charizard x is not a good set. Mixed mega charizard Y with earthquake to smack Heatran certainly isn't bad.Is mixed mega charazard X a thing? I've personally have never ran it or ran ito it, all the zard Xs i see are ddance very physical

That seems like a waist of a special atkNo, mixed charizard x is not a good set. Mixed mega charizard Y with earthquake to smack Heatran certainly isn't bad.
Mixed Zard Y is actually surprisingly good, as it allows it to get past several threats that it normally would be totally walled by.That seems like a waist of a special atk
No that isn't a mixed zard X as it has 3 physical moves and dragon dance.Is mixed mega charazard X a thing? I've personally have never ran it or ran ito it, all the zard Xs i see are ddance very physical
How is it a mixed Keldeo it has 3 physical moves and swords danceNah, it's a mixed Keldeo. Go w/ Scarf or Specs fartfart2
Azumarill is the best... But ho really can't afford to run counters for specific mons, azu is the closest you'llMixed Zard Y is actually surprisingly good, as it allows it to get past several threats that it normally would be totally walled by.
My question is, what's a good counter/check to Garchomp/Mega Garchomp that can fit well on a hyper offence team?
Normally it would be; the point of a mixed attacker, though, is being able to power through when the opponent brings in something extremely physically tanky. However, between Dragon Dance and the boost from Tough Claws, there's nothing physically tanky enough to significantly slow down a Mega Charizard X for very long, anyway; once he gets a couple of dragon dances down, the only real way to stop the bastard is to shut it down somehow, not to simply take its attacks. Special attacks are therefore redundant and can be dropped in favor of a coverage or support move.That seems like a waist of a special atk
This, very rarely have I ever had to switch out a Zard X that got off a couple of boosts.Normally it would be; the point of a mixed attacker, though, is being able to power through when the opponent brings in something extremely physically tanky.

Tough Claws is really what seals it, because there's basically nothing physically tanky enough and specially weak enough that, say, Fire Blast is going to outperform Flare Blitz well enough to justify taking Fire Blast over EQ or something.
If Pokemon B has reliable recovery, and Pokemon A has no access to boosting moves (and of course, if Pokemon B can do anything back to Pokemon A), then it's a counter. Otherwise, it's more of a solid check.if pokemon A can "guarantee to 3HKO after Leftovers" pokemon B, can B be considered as a counter to A? what is the benchmark to be a counter in general?
ok ... so in my scenario, B does counter A?If Pokemon B has reliable recovery, and Pokemon A has no access to boosting moves (and of course, if Pokemon B can do anything back to Pokemon A), then it's a counter. Otherwise, it's more of a solid check.
Generally speaking, a counter is a Pokemon that can switch into another Pokemon and beat it from there, that's the main definition. However, you have to consider how easily said "counter" gets worn down : for instance, Rotom-W isn't a full counter to MPinsir, since it will get worn down by repeated switches into it.
