If you want to run a variant set fire blast helps decrease the amount of time spent stalling. 0 SpA Gourgeist-Super Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Virizion: 82-98 (25.3 - 30.3%) -- guaranteed 4HKO This variant also helps against tangrowth 0 SpA Gourgeist-Super Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 120 SpD...

Sorry for the late reply. I am gonna keep the gourgiest and rotom on the team for what I'm using. I play in a local league where mixed ou has a limit to 3 mons per teir (where bl rounds up). In this league people try to be a deviant as possible with set (they are tired of standard sets). This is...

I would like to subscribe to: oras ou, oras nu, spotlights, humor, and vgc

To start off we have Steve the mamoswine Impish/life orb/ thick fat 252 atk & spe 4 SPD Ice shard/earthquake/icicle crash/stealth rock This is my counter to most leads such as lead-chomp (for obvious reasons) and unsuspecting rotom-w [212+ SpA Rotom-W Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest...

close combat and it gets 3 moves with high crit rates, and knock off

This Mega zard-x Vs. M-Altaria is getting out of hand! Let's talk about something else. How about Mega sableye, or anything that isn't Meag zard-x or mega altaria!

Is it viable to run brick break on Zard-x? It breaks some screens that might be in the way, and it gives it coverage.

252 Atk Lopunny Ice Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Pinsir: 146-172 (53.8 - 63.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO lopunny can 2HKO and it out speeds so wouldn't lopunny take out pinsir before pinsir could take out it.

I agree it's pretty good but look at these calcs. 252+ SpA Gengar Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Metagross: 266-314 (73 - 86.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252 SpA Life Orb Greninja Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Metagross: 268-320 (73.6 - 87.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252 SpA Life Orb Protean Greninja...

He isn't that good anymore. He might work on trick room team, that way he is faster so he can set up/spin more before dying. But yeah otherwise i wouldn't use him in this format

Hello my name is Ruyen. I am a freshman in high school. I have using smogon since gen 5 to see whats good and whats not. But i really started using the forums and showdown right after i beat Y version. Only because now with super training, getting competitive stuff was easier. My first game was...

Hail and statuses ruin this set. Hail, burn, and poison break sturdy. Sleep gives you opponent time to hit you twice. And paralysis ruins your speed game. And flail. For a normal move explosion is better. 50 more power and you have 1 hp left so might as well go out with a bang.

Any one want to give me a free copy of alpha sapphire?

I cameup with the Mega sceptile set when it stats where confirmed. 252 spe/ 252 SpA/ 4 Atk Jolly Protect Pursuit giga drain dragon pulse This set is more of one to lead with. You mega then go for protect and then on the next turn you switch out. You then use this to come in on a electric...
