SV OU Gen 9 OU: Death by a thousand cuts

[Omastar68]

Um, it looks to not be mentioned. Why 4 HP max def/SpD on the 1st 3? They should be max HP as far as I know, if bulky sets are what you need.

Blissey should be Calm 252 Def, or Bold even. Not +def(low base stat) and 252 SpD.

Needs more attacks, Ice fang on avalugg is bad.

For a sixth member you should probably use
an eviolite naclstack. You basically can't kill it, and when fighting it you have to have a recovery move and use it every 5 seconds if you want to not be obliterated in a couple turns.
Naclstack @ Eviolite
Ability: Purifying Salt
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Impish Nature
- Salt Cure
- Recover
- Iron Defense
- Body Press

Garganacl wants leftovers due to the Recover nerf.

yeah but when you pair iron defense with eviolite the defense gets higher way faster, and this doesn't get killed as easily by threats like annihlape, iron hands, quaquaval, pawmot, great tusk, slither wing, and iron valiant.

It has much lower HP though, does this really work? It can only Body Press, too. So forget about any other attack but Salt Cure w/ low base atk stat.

it's not supposed to attack. It just works. The original set was what you were suggesting, but an iron treads treaded on me, and an annihilape annihilated me.

I would be interested in your take on Garganacl itself, then. Is it outclassed by the NFE?

you give some good points, but the eviolite is too good to pass up, even if you could use either one, and yes, in this specific situation, it is outclassed

speaking of nfe, if you use it in nfe (or 1v1 but that's not relevant), it's nigh omnipotent

So if weather isn't the best way to do this, could I just focus on low damage over time?
