I'm really thinking about using mega ampharos with hidden power but I'm having a problem deciding one hidden power ice or hidden power grass.

Ice could stop ground and dragon pokemon but grass can affect water and ground threats that electric attacks might now work on.

Which hidden power should I breed for CPG?

I dunno about viability threads, but in practice, its fucking broken. Nine times out of ten it'll BD and you're left scraping half your team back together, after it kills two dedicated checks, then the other time it'll set up with calm mind cotton guard, and still out speed you at +3def +2spa +2spdef +2speed, in which case you just forfeit.

Web in NU is kinda lame, due to the multitude of bulky removers and lack of good wallbreakers, but with sawk/swellow/puff/SD gatr/specs pyroar/magmortar, there's enough potential for middle of the ladder play. What makes ariados better than leavanny?

You'd be surprised how many chances I've had to set up one layer of TS and Web. My sash allows it to set up both most of the time. Leavanny is better in general, but Ariados has its uses. Also, I use Marshtomp, and it's a pretty decent tank and its a good shuffler with yawn and rocks. Waterfall and Eq are decent stabs, and it's only real downfall as a bulky NU water is a lack of recovery

Ok the first big issue I see there is that you have four pokes that are only functional with hazard removal and no support.
If your opponent uses Stealth Rock, Pinsir, Togekiss and Chandelure automatically lose 1/4 of their bulk and Breloom's Sash is removed. By the way, always use Spore on Breloom. It's arguably the best move in the game.

I don't really see what Togekiss is accomplishing there. Chandelure is far from standard, too. To begin with, why would you use Chandelure? But even if you're set on using it, bulky Chandelure sounds like a bad idea in general.

Not sure why Lum on TTar either. It's a utility set, there are bigger issues than status. Tbh I wouldn't use Tyranitar along with Sash Loom if you're not going to be running Excadrill, consider a better SR support instead, such as Lando, Terrakion or Garchomp.

Cofagrigus. Call me crazy, but I am not a big fan of sableye... at all. If the enemy has mega absol (or other magic bouncers) you're basically one mon down automatically.

Of course, if we're talking about uu ghosts... well, there are many to choose from. I feel like jellicent would suit your purposes... since you listed sableye and coffin

It's not irrelevant in uu, which is what I am assuming anon plays in. Espeon is irrelevant in this scenario unless it got bumped down a tier when I wasn't looking. I'm just bringing up its most obvious counter.

It's a fragile annoyance in any case. Any prepared team should be able to dispose of it with a solid hit or two.

Aye. But it would be safest to predict that absol will mega evolve to avoid your willowisp! But then again, an intelligent man would anticipate that you would predict the mega evolution, and so he would not mega evolve in order to absorb your knock off! However, perhaps a clever man would have accounted for you predicting his prediction, and so he would indeed be right to mega-evolve so you wouldn't benefit from picking the obvious choice to throw him off!

>>20025516
He dies in the process of making absol a mummy. It is slightly better than sableye! But I honestly don't like either option, which is why I suggested jellicent.

Bulky Starmie was a thing last gen, but it's defenses are pretty shitty, even when fully invested.

Clefable has pretty low bulk compared to most walls but the higher HP makes it fatter, and it also has amazing abilities and movepool, which make it so useful.
Maybe if Starmie was Water/Fairy you could pull that gimmick off, but 65 HP is still pretty low. The bulk increases the closer defenses and HP are from each other, so boosting defenses isn't going to help that much because you'll be taking a lot due to your low HP.

Guys, I need some help here. I'm running Zard-X
>inb4 HURRR EDGE
here's my set:

Jolly
252 ATK, 4 DEF, 252 Speed
Flame Charge
Thunderpunch
EQ
Belly Drum

I use this set with Sub-support.

But here's my question, with +6/maxed out attack, Zard X with Tough Claws either OHKOs or 2HKOs everything in the game (OU anyway), and that's without attack EV investment.

With max attack investment against Gliscor or Shuckle for example, with 0 investment or max investment, it's still a guarenteed 2HKO.

Question is, if I successfully pass a sub on to Zard and get the Drum off, is there any point in the EV attack investment? Should I put it into bulk instead?

PS: Do I need to run max speed? Or can I get away with 112 EV speed investment and outrun anything after a Flame Charge?

If I get the Drum off, it's sweep city. The only thing I've ran into trouble with is BB Talonflame and occasionally Mach Punch Breloom. Fire/Electric/Ground hits everything neutral and I always catch someone with a Flame Charge on the swap that they don't expect since they think I'm gonna DD. Then they usually quit or send out Talonflame.

However, if I fuck up the Sub-passing or it breaks on the turn I Drum if I'm facing something that outspeeds Zard like Garchomp for example, I'm fucked.

Is that still dumb or? I kind like it.

It's dumb because it requires a lot of support and it's really hard to pull off, and then priority stops you completely no matter how well you did it. On the other hand, DD is awfully easy to pull off, requires little support and is a monster on it's own.

Seems lke a huge waste of potential. I mean, it sounds like fun to pull off but it should've never be used as a serious set.

I know Gliscor doesn't really max defense, but a max defense Gliscor will get 2HKO'd at best with either max or no EV investment. Conk will tank 2 hits with max def investments after a Bulk-Up and Shuckle will need 2 hits as well.

Tott: Gengar in gsc ou is probably one of the most versatile mons, pseudo boltbeam with ice punch forces lots of switches and lets you check alot of things. The last 2 moveslots are pretty much open for your creativity. Explosion, Dynamic Punch, Hypnosis, Destiny Bond, Mean Look, Perish Song, Confuse Ray, Giga Drain? That plethora of move choices makes it basically impossible to 100% counter gar. A ghost typing is generally great in a meta where mono normal attackers are a popular thing.

Perish trap gar is pretty bad, even in battlespot. You have what, base 170 special attack? Use it, that thing can kill off so much shit of which you can make use of. Regular venu is kind of an underperformer. People only play it because of chlorophyll, which is bad in battlespot (only 3 mons, ttar having huge usage).
When building around mega gengar i would use a cleaner that has things that stop it being trapped by gar (talon + focus blast gar to kill off rocks, etc. Just an idea, you can go p creative there).

Battlespot is bring 6 use 3, right? If so using 2 megas isn't a bad idea at all, and tbh m venu has a good synergy with talonflame since it comes in on things like ttar etc. I thought you meant to build your team around the combination of mgar and venusaur, sry if i made this not clear then.

Yea but even a bulky perish trap gengar set still won't live shit, apart from that perishtrap in general is bad in battlespot because stall(ish things) are generally noexistant there and perishtrap isn't good against harder hitting things.

I already have a Sableye/Aegislash/MegaTTar core, I'm trying to make a second triplet of pokemon to deal with my core weaknesses (mostly Blaziken). I'm trying M-Saur/Weaknite/Quagsire, it's bit weak to Talonflame and Stall but seems that it's working right now

Mega Ampharos' Dragon Pulse does more damage to all Dragon Types, including ones with a 4x weakness to Ice, than Hidden Power does. Ice is only worth it it'f you're really scared of, like, Gliscor and Landorus or some shit.

Also HP Grass really only hits Quagsire since every other Water-type and Ground-type will take more damage from one of Mega Ampharos' 90 Base Power STAB move.

So I've reached the point where I can reliably beat my friends (who previously destroyed me) in a single battle 6v6 and I'm pretty much a 50/50 win/loss ratio in the Battle Spot. Where do I go from here to improve further?

Hey guys! Quick question... What's a viable Rain Dance team in gen VI?

I know I'm adding in Mega Swampert when he comes in... because of swift swim. So It'll be between him & mega Gyarados as far as who the mega will be. I'm still not sure yet.

For sure, I want Politoed with Drizzle. Other than that I have no idea, This used to be some of my team:

- Dry Skin Toxicroak
- Hydrate Vaporeon

I just want nice cohesive things that will benefit from Drizzle. Would goodra be a good fit? Any ideas/suggestions?

You should be using Mega Scizor or Mega Mawile instead of Mega Gyarados. Scizor and Mawile are both good mons that don't depend on the rain to function but do like it. You need to be able to do things without rain up, so they're good on rain teams.

Scald over hydro pump in my opinion.
With recover, halving your opponents attack makes you all the more bulkier.
But if you're running a straight up offensive milotic I guess it'd be fine with hydro.
I see a lot of milotics run toxic just to deal with other water types, you could consider that as your fourth move.
