Okay, you have peaked my interest, but what 12 mons?Meanwhile I live in another reality, have a list of 12 Mons that I want out of OU as soon as possible and neither Kyurem nor Archaludon are in that list.

Exactly. Stall lacking clefable has literally no switch in to STAB Choice and protosynthesis-boosted outrage unless something has tera fairy, at which point you can take advantage of that.Roaring Moon @ Choice Scarf

Are you tired of losing games to +2 Volcarona or +1 Speed Roaring Moon? Does your Sun team hate Iron Boulder? Might I introduce you to Scarf Roaring Moon. Under the Sun and with a Choice Scarf in tow, Roaring Moon outpaces things that it otherwise wouldn't be able to like Scarf Meowscarada or the aforementioned Volcarona and Iron Boulder. Tera Dragon is needed in order to buff Outrage, as otherwise you can't OHKO Tera Flying Moon and even fail to do so vs any Iron Boulder variants. It's quite sad, honestly.
The only semblance of a chance Stall has against Tera Fire Goug is Tera Watering their Gliscor and clicking Toxic to hopefully put it on a timer. Which is an absolute non-factor if you apply one of the Psychic / Fairies for Wish / Healing Wish support in Scream Tail or Hatterene respectively.
Provided you have a Helmet user to punish U-Turn attempts, I think it can and does work wonders. The 160/170 offenses are really just icing on the cake, you're almost always guaranteed to trade something at worst and potentially demolish entire balance teams at best.
Hmmm... That's definitely not wrong. I would still put Kyurem and Archaludon.In no particular order:

Outrage though. It does an insane amount of damage and they cant rest stall you because on the rest turn you kill them right?220 Atk Tera Dragon Roaring Moon Outrage vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Dondozo: 178-210 (35.3 - 41.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

they can just rest stall your recoil with un switchius freeius.
oh yeah, outrage kills, thought u were talking about blitz. how's my florges set btw?Outrage though. It does an insane amount of damage and they cant rest stall you because on the rest turn you kill them right?
Skill swap is cool to beat unaware mons in a calm mind set. You could possible run calm mind? I think it would just be a worse comfey at that point though.oh yeah, outrage kills, thought u were talking about blitz. how's my florges set btw?

Boulder imo is needed right now since it's a good revenge killer, keeping other mons in check.Boulder?
No I'm confused about Eeveeto calling it banworthy, it feels very mediocre to meBoulder imo is needed right now since it's a good revenge killer, keeping other mons in check.
How do you know that there are votes remaining? Do former voters get perms to see the submissions before it goes public?btw 10/128 votes remaining and still no verdict, it will be very close and again my stubbornness about the 60% x 50% knocks on the door.
Check Finch's post on page 237.How do you know that there are votes remaining? Do former voters get perms to see the submissions before it goes public?
Oh ok. That makes sense since I thought its only niche was a SD sweeper on HO.No I'm confused about Eeveeto calling it banworthy, it feels very mediocre to me
Ting Lu can switch in and trade with AV Archaludon. Spef gliscor can also usually trade. Both of these mons deal ~50% to AV arch on the first hit with EQ. They can kill Arch before it racks up too many def boosts.I decided to log in to ask this, even though I decided to take a break, but what are people using to actually check Archaludon? So far I've seen only clodsire reliably check it but it getting past it isn't impossible due to rng drops or hazards. Skeledirge is another check in theory but it's extremely difficult it seems to deal with it in general without 2 mons minimum. I'm asking this because people are saying it's easy to deal with but not providing actual answers.
I tried it during the suspect, using the sample Triple steel rain but it felt more like an issue of the team rather than of arch itself as I had to use it as a response to some things and it got overwhelmed pretty regularly. It also felt like some games it was just absurdly punishing from the coverage + stamina. It's been a while so I could be misremebering but I'd like to know some options I could include in teams to more reliably deal with it outside of clod.
I don't think it's even particularly good at that, its STAB moves (main offender zen Headbutt) are so weak and bad and it doesn't get stab from the attacks it actually wants to click, earthquake and CC, so it feels like it's always coming up short before SD, so it has to take chip to get the SD up, putting it into priority range. Worlds worst defensive presence on all accounts and the type also really does it no favors offensively. Boulder always feels like the odd one out on those teams with Roaring Moon, Volc, etc. Still good as a sack at least. Maybe eeveeto can explain what he means? Overall very confused how one can arrive at the conclusion "don't ban Archaludon, ban Enamorus and Boulder"Oh ok. That makes sense since I thought its only niche was a SD sweeper on HO.

Problem is that you would need to sack something in order for Dondozo to switch in safely. Say your opponent manages to get Gouging Fire with Sun in against say your Hydrapple. You would need to sack something on your Stall team in order to even get Dondozo in. If you switch Dondozo in, you take over 50% and then get outsped and KO’d.252+ Atk Choice Band Protosynthesis Tera Fire Gouging Fire Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Dondozo in Sun: 252-297 (50 - 58.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

If more stall teams started running SD Tera Water Gliscor, Sun would be a non-issue for them.

Though that is what Stall teams have to deal with this gen since so much of the meta can easily break Stall teams, and the meta being more fast pace HO. And also kind of hard for Stall to really stop Gouging Fire compared to other playstyles which can pressure it or Sun setters from coming in with offense and hazards.
