Could you please include Defiant / Competitive mons?

Glad that Barra is working for you! Like Akinohi stated, you could keep Runerigus as a niche pick! If you're looking for other options, support Grimmsnarl could be great to help Frosmoth set-up. Runerigus can also accomplish this through Ally Switch, and you could even utilize support Dragapult...

Great team! I appreciate your creativity and thinking outside the box. I suggest replacing Conkeldurr with with Rhyperior: Rhyperior (M) @ Weakness Policy Ability: Solid Rock Level: 50 EVs: 228 HP / 100 Atk / 100 Def / 76 SpD / 4 Spe Adamant Nature - Earthquake - High Horsepower...

This is a solid first attempt. Your choice of mons look fine, but there are a few item and move changes I recommend: Hatterene @ Leftovers Babiri Berry Ability: Magic Bounce Quiet Nature EVs: 252 HP/252 SpAtk/4 SpDef Trick Room Psychic Dazzling Gleam Mystical Fire / Protect Hatterene isn't...

Very cool team. I'd recommend replacing Drednaw with Barraskewda: Barraskewda (M) @ Life Orb / Choice Band Ability: Propeller Tail Level: 50 Happiness: 160 EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant/Jolly Nature - Liquidation - Close Combat - Poison Jab - Crunch Under rain, Barra...

The visuals are awesome! Thanks for putting so much time into them! I agree that Hydreigon seems to be a weak point in your team. I would suggest looking into Dragapult or, believe it or not, Flygon as potential replacements. Here are some neat calcs: Specs Modest Dragapult vs Assault Vest Max...

Hey all! Long-time lurker here. I've been playing competitive singles since DPP, but with the intentional updates to VGC and more accessibility to training Pokemon with Sword and Shield, I've become more vested in the official scene. I've playtested this team on the in-game online ranked ladder...

Bump. I'm also curious

Hey All, I have extracted, transformed, and loaded the raw OU JSON data into SQL Server as relational data for reporting and analysis. Before I start investing (time and financially) into this personal project, I have 2 questions about some numbers: 1) What do the numbers in the 'Checks and...

For the sake of the legitimacy of my post, I will mention that I have been participating in OU for the past nine years. Although I am not one of the best players, I have much experience in observing what makes a mon broken. My post will discuss why MS (Mega Salamence) is a broken pokemon...

Forum name: opw_Blade Cycle 2 Alts: [LT2O] opwblade, [LT2P] opwblade, [LT2W] opwblade Do my alts for Cycle 2 contain my forum name or a very similar variation/abbreviation of it as required by the rules? Yes.

I appreciate all the information listed. The Assault Vest Azumarill looks nasty, and I'll give it a go. Sheer Force Landorus also looks much more promising than Gengar for this team. For now, I'll give Zapdos Defog over Heat Wave and see how it goes; I'll keep in mind that Lati@s is an option...

Hey, thanks for the suggestions on Charizard and Gengar. I will definitely give that Zard X set a try. Mahouka is my favorite anime! I've been reading the manga since 2012. Been a fan for awhile :D

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to rate my team. I have been testing this team for several days now. My friend and I constructed this team to counter the 5 S-Class Pokemon. Although this team has had decent success, there are obviously significant flaws. By bringing it here, I hope...
