Sea of Fire - An OU Sun Team Hi everyone! For those who don't know me, I'm an OU moderator on Showdown! - stop by and chat! Anyway, I'm here with one of my most successful teams. I wanted to make a Sun team that would also do relatively well against Rain. My teambuilding style is "no cool...

WELP. Also Dusclops is kinda close too but not as much so yeah. I think Houndoom dropping has already been brought up in this thread because it's consistently been close to dropping. Meloetta sure is interesting. I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if it's a bit broken, as I feel it could run...

If it isn't clear, if this pattern continues for the next two months, Golurk will rise back up and Poliwrath has a chance of moving down. How will the absence of Golurk and the introduction of Poliwrath affect the metagame?

When I saw the title of the thread, Specs instantly came to mind darn you molk ._. Emboar @ Life Orb/Expert Belt Trait: Blaze EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Jolly Nature -Flame Charge -Flare Blitz -Superpower -Wild Charge Many things are threatened by Emboar, so Flame Charge on the switch...

For a Contrary set, I'm not even sure that you'd really need Giga Drain because Serperior is fast and powerful enough such that it needs coverage more than recovery. So, I think Serperior @ Leftovers Trait: Contrary EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Leaf Storm -...

Yes, the rankings are being split into high, middle, and low, denoted A+, A, and A- for example.

I've used Linoone a fair amount on a somewhat gimmicky team built around Gorebyss and Linoone sweeping. Unfortunately, Linoone's Attack is so low that it can't do too much by itself. I don't see that much use in it as a revenge killer because pretty often the opponent can just switch out to...

Ice Body Jynx would be a real problem and a terrific mid/late game sweeper. Permanent 1/8 recovery every turn allows it to Sub much more freely, and Lovely Kiss alongside the threat of being OHKOd by Blizzard make it not that difficult for Jynx to get going. The Nasty Plot mono-attacking set is...

An option that could work is to run 44 Speed EVs in order to just outpace the standard Shadow Ball + Status + Pain Split + Heal Bell Misdreavus and to do a lot of speed-creeping on base 80s with little or no investment. Mandibuzz with Taunt completely shuts down standard Misdreavus, Musharna...

Just Theorymonning here, but I think Misdreavus or Musharna with Twave would be really good partners for Camerupt and especially Tropius. Both are fantastic walls and clerics which can provide nice defensive synergy, and SubSeeding Tropius with para support would be annoying.

LOL this is like the third time that I've forgotten Trick Room has negative priority. I put so much effort into that too.

1 hour wasted Scorpdestroyer gets 1 point for disproving my counter

yeah yeah I'm blind yeah yeah still not running physical though

It's really unfortunate that Zebstrika's physical movepool is so bad, as I'm sure we'd all love to take advantage of that good base 100 Attack. It's best physical options are Double-Edge, Bounce, Flame Charge, Pursuit, Double Kick, and Spark for STAB (lol), which is of course, a cringe-worthy...

It doesn't have to be viable. Or at least, that's how it's always worked in past Core Crises.
