Proof that you don't need to use certain Pokemon to win. It's all about skill and knowing what you're doing. Something /vp/ knows absolutely nothing about.

Th-thanks anon!

But to be fair I felt like Pinsir was carrying the team a lot, and you have to make some pretty risky plays here and there if you want to play with a team like that. Feels good when you can nail them though.

Zapdos is OU. Second, it's about viability, not tier. Everything except Darmanitan has a decent place in viability rankings.

Haxorus is pretty mediocre now with all the fairies that are inmune to its only STAB.

It has Poison Jab and Earthquake for coverage moves, so it's really just skarmory it can't beat.

I can't tell which one you're trying to make fun of, unless its both.

That finisher was kinda cool though, I'll give you that

This, Skarmory is the one Pokémon my team has the most trouble with. I need to rely on Darmanitan or Zapdos (which I replaced with Thundurus-T recently) to take it out.

And I run Scarf on Zapdos/Thundurus.

The most common fairies in OU require a Dragon Dance if Haxorus is going to OHKO with Poison Jab, and that won't even cut it against Clefable half the time.

252+ Atk Mold Breaker Haxorus Poison Jab vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 254-300 (62.8 - 74.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Haxorus Poison Jab vs. 252 HP / 0+ Def Clefable: 248-294 (62.9 - 74.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Haxorus is BL, and Zapdos OU- that's the best tier to use them in. Gastrodon is a pokemon balanced in its home-tier, but also decent in others- bulk is seldom a broken feature. Crobat and Darmanitan are both top-tier UU, and that's not a far cry from OU either.

That still proves my point.

It's not about using Talonflame, Greninja or Aegislash, or the Genies. It's about knowing what you're doing.

Didn't say I'd be DDing in front of fairies, just saying unless he's got the +1 attack then the fairies are just going to bulk a hit from him and respond with an OHKO.

I see people say "you don't need to spam standard OU all the time guys, you don't" MUCH more than people saying "you need to spam it or you will never git gud." In fact, I don't think I've ever heard someone say that.

The guy had 1700 rating, he probably figured he'd scare Crobat out threatening Rock Slide and slam whatever he switched into with STAB Earthquake.

It's still a poor decision. The obvious switch would have been to Gastrodon, and the Earthquake wouldn't have done much anyway.
