EVS:
Speed is to outspeed Modest Heatran to guarantee a win

HP investment beats Zeraora, wins against band adamant plasma fists but loses to playrough, beats playrough if it is scarfed

Special Defense + HP allows it to beat scarf Porygon-Z hyper beam if it is jolly, if it's modest then its 56.3% which isn't in Zapdos' favour
252+ SpA Adaptability Porygon-Z Hyper Beam vs. 88 HP / 232 SpD Zapdos-Galar: 318-376 (92.7 - 109.6%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO


Special Defense beats Regieleki and Magnezone, even if the Magnezone is electro web it still wins. Unlike other Zapdos-Galar sets (I think)

It also chances against Urshifu-Rapid-Strike like the original and beats all the sets on compendium except that as long as it doesn't have jet.
252 Atk Choice Band Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 88 HP / 0 Def Zapdos-Galar on a critical hit: 306-363 (89.2 - 105.8%) -- approx. 18.8% chance to OHKO


edit: Nvm this is a bad post, don't listen to me

What does counter beat in that set ?

Not sure if we started rounding up like we're back in math class or not. But that's 3.7 not 4.0 ; Mrs. Wilson won't be happy with how her student is doing

Since it's April 1st, I can post my trash wonderful sets here and no one can make fun of it because it's a joke :) (it's not a joke so make fun of it)

Volcarona @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 252 HP / 52 Def / 72 SpA / 112 SpD / 20 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Overheat
- Quiver Dance
- Hyper Beam
- Bug Buzz

I originally had wp volcarona in mind a few months ago, but I didn't think it would be viable. However, SuperMemeBroz used it in pl and it worked, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Evs: Hp and def is for volcarona to survive smack down av lando and ko it after quiver dance -> overheat. Hp and special def is for surviving volc steam eruption no matter what set, and firing back with hyper beam. Speed is for base 60's like magnezone, and rest is dumped into special attack (sorta). Modest is for the guaranteed ko on av lando. Swarm is always better than flame body (obviously lol)

Calcs: 116+ Atk Landorus-Therian Smack Down vs. 252 HP / 52 Def Volcarona: 316-372 (84.4 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+3 72+ SpA Volcarona Overheat vs. 168 HP / 120 SpD Assault Vest Landorus-Therian: 366-432 (101.3 - 119.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO (qdance+wp)
140+ SpA Volcanion Steam Eruption vs. 252 HP / 112 SpD Volcarona: 314-372 (83.9 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (scarf)
+3 72+ SpA Volcarona Hyper Beam vs. 72 HP / 0 SpD Volcanion: 442-521 (138.5 - 163.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO (same for specs)
140+ SpA Choice Specs Volcanion Steam Eruption vs. +1 252 HP / 112 SpD Volcarona: 314-372 (83.9 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (specs)

For all of you who don't know, I have been spamming this gastrodon for about a week now, and its gotten to a point where people all across ladder know about it. (and i think pchan shared a replay or smth) so here it is, I cant lure any more people, its too well known
This all started from a post which has now been deleted although thanks to Snoms we have a screenshot (click)
Which led to shitposts in the discord
And ended with hctc suggesting scarf sludge wave gastro to beat bulu :D
and without wasting any more of your time, here it is:

[choicebadkyurem]

not an aplication but some that should be mentioned for Eq on Custap and Scarf Sawk is that it secures the 2hko on stall Koko when Pjab doesn't.

https://pokepast.es/0d0580cf48024ce0 <- My sets & Modified Set Compendium

Dusknoir

Speed is faster than 0 speed sylveon, if that works, then skill swap to ruin pixilate. Skill swap is also effective against the usual suspects like immunities, contrarians, Aroma Veils, Fear, etc.
Frisk tells you if the opponent is choice for 0 guess disable. This is not foolproof against trick choice. Disable pairs well with skill swap for limiting what attacks Volcanion can use, blocking Aromatisse's moonblast, etc.
Seismic toss is used here because it is counter proof and constant damage.
HP was set to 30IV so sitrus activates at 50% and for a slight advantage with pain split.

Polteageist

I have no idea how many times I have talked about this set.
Basic shell smash set but being able to endure, activate petaya, and potentially weak armor leads into a great combo with stored power.
Endure is used here for maximizing the opponent's recoil damage as well or blocking custap.

Walrein

Walrein mostly bluffs oblivious and thick fat in the same way bronzongs pretend to be heatproof and levitate.
Encore gets stat boosters locked while pairing with frost breath to ignore spdef boosts
Super Fang works faster than swords dance or nasty plot after two turns as the opponent will be around 25% hp while two swords dances will make you at *3 damage. Swords dance and nasty plot also don't miss so there are risks to running fang.
Brine is used with fang but could be swapped out for surf

Raichu-A

Big electric hit after E terrain. You essentially have 140 damage * 1.3 or 120 damage * 1.3
It is a joy to use even if it is a worse regieleki
items are for surviving one coverage earthquake or sucker punch

Bronzong

Bronzong mostly bluffs heatproof in the same way Walreins pretend to be oblivious and thick fat
Future Sight is unique in that it can't be mirror coated and lets you break through sturdy and sub in reverse
Using FS, then Meteor beam, allows you to land 120 *1.5 + 120*1.5*1.5 on turn 3. If neither move is resisted, it does a ton of damage.
It is quite slow in terms of damage per turn but after landing a meteor beam, you are still at +1 spa.

Gastrodon

Bluffing the usual gastrodon with a fun weather ball set.
Sandstorm makes weather ball & earth power do 1.3* damage while providing chip
Rain dance could be used to make Gastrodon's weather ball do much more damage or surf/scald for better damage per turn.

Wigglytuff

An honest joy to use.
Stockpile drives up Stab Spit Up past explosion's base power (300 vs 250)
Competitive allows for easier matchups against intimidate or stat droppers like eerie impulse, etc
Fake tears allows you to boost to ungodly levels.
Draining kiss for recovery in tandem with stockpile.
The fastest way to gain power incase you have to stop at any turn: Stockpile, Stockpile, Fake Tears, Stockpile (600 damage with *2.5 def & spdef)

the modified sets should be easy enough to figure out:
Kyurem's Fairy Berry is only used in matchups against fairy attackers (redundant ik) so Throat spray with noble roar is a fun way to speed up stall.
Dropping Steela's heavy slam opens the door for more SpA investment. The combination of leech seed, flame charge, & sitrus keep the dream of a safer steel beam alive.
PZ using wonder room is crazy strong if the pokemon has very little defense and a lot of spdef.
Lele drops calm mind here for something taunt-proof and more inline with nasty plot (that can miss). It does break Fear though.

Speed is faster than 0 speed sylveon, if that works, then skill swap to ruin pixilate

the only sylv that runs 0 spe is yawn

some of these sets that you made are interesting, but you dont give examples which makes it a lil hard for the reader to understand. some of these mons arent even ranked, so i think you should nominate them to the vr where you can add the sets you think that make the mon viable enough to be ranked

Encore gets stat boosters locked while pairing with frost breath to ignore spdef boosts

like here you can give examples of which stat boosters lose after getting locked, does it beat registeel? mention it if it does

It is a joy to use even if it is a worse regieleki

does it have any niche over eleki? mention them if it does, otherwise making a cheap version of a mon that doesnt have anything over it is kinda useless

the modified sets

these sets honestly seem kinda weird to me, i mean yeah they have different matchups but that doesnt mean they necessarily have more matchups, i think you should nominate them as a possible option for the builder that is still viable but not the main set for the mon, like for celesteela you straight up removed the EVs which are important

PZ using wonder room is crazy strong if the pokemon has very little defense and a lot of spdef.

once again theres no example, what if the reader is thinking about goodra but pz doesnt win cause of the lack of EVs to live a draco meteor
