Use Power Herb Hawlucha, and make Hippo specially defensive. Additionally your team looks pretty weak to ground, and will get demolished by the likes of Landorus. Consider replacing Drapion, he looks kinda randomly thrown on for the hell of it.

Thanks for that, the team was really just thrown together with Hawlucha cos he's my bro and Drapion because I'm a showderp fag and love dr snips getting acupressure off. I'm really new to the whole concept of competitive teambuilding, I've been doing random battles for months.

Does Ferrothorn even have a point without Curse Gyro Ball? Do you just not want to use him as a Ferrothorn?

GATR is total shit
Hawlucha is okay but has a huge number of problems that prevent it from being good in OU
Chandelure is see Hawlucha
Drapgion is shit. LOL CITIZEN SNIPS is even shittier
Your Hippo set makes no sense

Yeah, boost attack and defense, while lowering speed. It double boosts Gyro Ball.

Gyro Ball is max 150 BP. Ferrothorn is so slow it gets that right away against most things.

That's only half his set.
I assume you'd be even more displeased when I tell you the other two slots are Ingrain and Power Whip?

Also, hes holding a rocky helmet.

If you want to use a Hawlucha with sitrus berry go with 252 hp, 252 atk, 4 def adamant with sword dance,acrobatics,high jump kick and rock slide\stone edge.It will outspeed even a jolly deoxys-speed after the unburden boost with no speed investment. Just don't switch out after the boost.
Otherwise you should use the Power Herb + Sky Attack set.

Because ferro would rather be supporting the team than it would be setting up curses and going for a tanky role. Also, Leftovers would be the better item in this case, as you'd want all the passive recovery you can get.

I still don't understand. With his attack and defenses, why not use him as a tank? He's has the moves for it. I can see what you mean for the item, but my helmet has saved me a few times.

My thought process was:

>I like Hawlucha. Let's make a team starting with him.
>Might as well try a "muh hazards" too, in you go ferrothorn cos you're dope too.
>Hippo for a wall and ground type coverage
>Gonna need a water type and feraligatr is best third stage starter
>Chandelure for fire and ghost coverage
>Muh Citizen Snips

It works for me most of the time, though if an opposing team sets up a certain way I am fucked and I understand. I just really went with pokes I like cos it would have been easy to just copy and paste a Talonflame/Deoxys - D/Azumarill team. I'm still trying to learn competitive so I might as well through this.

Also, the feraligatr was originally a Belly Drum azumarill but I could never set up right.

that's a cool opinion but the fact of the matter is that smogon is having to constantly ban things to keep their comical mess of a singles meta from bursting apart at the seams while their doubles meta is so stable that they recently suspect tested the sleep clause of all things

I confused smogon doubles with VGC.

Singles OU only banned 1 pokemon, an item and a playstyle since the Bank was released so it isn't a comical clusterfuck as you make it out.

Your right about doubles tho but i don't see the point of playing smogon doubles if VGC is a format that is supported officially.

I'd run Knock Off instead of Crunch on Drapion. Higher damage on the first hit and you can really screw someone's strategy getting rid of their item. I think it's worth the difference.
