Obviously its down to personal preference and the rest of the team, but if I have a team with ample coverage for Pex and Urishufu (future sight slowking and Zeraora, in this instance) is bug buzz/safeguard > psychic on bulky Volcarona or are there other mons that make psychic worthwhile? Thanks!

Is Gengar a worthwhile mon right now? If so, what sets is it running? Thanks!

Is specially defensive pex still viable or is it just a hangover from gen 7?

Is calm mind + iron defence Mag still a thing? If so, what is (are) the best moveset(s) right now?

I've been seeing a surprising amount of unaware HDB Clef (like on 4 or 5 different teams, and that's only the ones I have noticed either via boosts not making a difference or toxic/burn getting them) on reasonably high ladder (1700+) on non-stall teams. Is this a coincidence or is unaware Clef...

What Hydreigon sets are doing well since the DLC?

I've been out of the loop a few weeks now. When did Cinderace get Libero? Were there any other significant updates to OU (aside from the Draco ban)?

What are the sets for Darmantian right now? Is band or scarf better/more widespread?

Why are you running Chople berry over AV or (mega-)stealth rock? Especially, I was wondering why you care about out speeding Mawile, as Mawile still beats Tyranitar no matter what? Given that, these days, the only fighting coverage Mawile runs is Focus Punch (with sub), and unless Tyranitar...

Mag and Cresselia are pretty different Trick Room setters. Magearna uses Trick Room primarily for itself to sweep with team support secondary (and is pretty damn good at it, all things considered, and has one of the few actually viable TR sets), whereas Cresselia uses Trick Room as a support for...

Also it's worth making sure you have given your team the desired evs, ivs, and nature, and also checking if either your mons have had speed drops (most commonly from sticky web) and that the opposing mon hasn't boosted their speed (normally by using moves like agility, dragon dance, shift gear...

My understanding is that though these are similar looking sets, they have different functions and fit with different teams (Psychium needs something to take out steels with, but hits harder with the Z-move, whereas Steelium is more independent but lacks the total nuke), hence the different...

Is there a reason HP percentages don't round in the mathematically correct manner (i.e. 12.1% rounded to 13% displayed rather than to 12%)?

-1 252+ Atk Choice Band Hoopa-Unbound Hyperspace Fury vs. 252 HP / 112+ Def Landorus-Therian: 184-217 (48.1 - 56.8%) -- 38.7% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

I think I've been seeing a bit of choice banded Scizor on relatively high ladder recently (1700+) and was wondering (1) why it was being used, and (2) what EVs it runs (moves are U-Turn, Bullet Punch, Superpower, and another move, I guess Pursuit/Knock off).

In the explanation it says that the build is centred around Coil Zygarde, but in the sets it list DDance as its first move and the set entirely lacks coil.

Can I do a banded Bulu set?

finch v finch final coming up?

Psychic terrain has a huge amount of utility for setup sweepers that are weak to priority, allowing mons like Volcarona and Hawlucha to avoid powerful priority attacks that can stop their sweeps (e.g. Mega-Pinsir, Ash-Greninja, Zygarde, etc.). It also obviously aids mons running psychic moves...
