I wanna add I've done a total of 3 showdown battles with it and it's won all of them. I assume by luck.

Tip: If you are running a Life Orb, be sure that mon can regenerate health somehow.

I don't play NU so idk about their meta, but I like the idea of baton passing to a shitmon like Magmortar

The original idea was I really wanted use out of Bouffalant by passing into it but so far it's always been into Magmortar, and then just sweeping.

With NU you always lose. Play OU, it's where everything's at.

Yeah you really aren't that poor off. They wouldn't be my first choices but I guess they work. I've only been playing competetively for a few weeks now (only on showdown) and I've only discovered the team I really like a few days ago.

Entry hazards, health regeneration, STAB as well as coverage, and status moves. All noice. If you start losing, don't scrap the entire team. Just fill in what you're missing. For the longest time I couldn't do shit to fairies. So I put Mega Aggron on my team instead of Mega Abshit.

Overused as a tier sounds stale, I went for NU because it seemed more interesting. What's your opinion on that?

Theres not really a point to passing the boosts to a banded attacker, mag is definitely the better pass. Don't listen to the other guy about the life orb, the recoil won't be a huge deal at plus 2 spatk and Spe, ja feel?

Your Miltank could probably use a nature.

Well if you choice it you want to have a move like U-Turn or Volt Switch incase the matchup is bad. Not sure what mons are in NU but for example I run a Life Orb on my Regenerator Mienshao+U-Turn. Beautiful sweeper, and if there is something it really can't handle (like a Crobat) I just U-Turn out and get some HP back.

I play UU and highly recommend that set-up on a Mienshao.

Yeah don't listen to me dude slowly killing your mons without gaining health back is a great idea, especially your main attacker.

am i the only faggot who runs curse return on miltank

if you can get like 2 curses up minimum it's like either an rq or an autowin, besides special attackers (most are still dealt with by thick fat) literally nothing can hit you

If you haven't played competitive before, then how would something you've never touched be stale?

Even if you 2KO everything instead of OHKOs, with 6 Pokemon on your opponent's team, at 10% per hit, you could still kill 5/6 of a team before it matters since anything that would revenge you would hit you for 100% anyway (otherwise it's not a good revenge killer) and you're not running anything that requires more than 1 HP.

Holy shit you guys suck at giving advice
>Drop speed on Miltank and Crustle
Walls and bulky attackers don't need the speed
> Drop Gorebyss
Shell smash is very situational and is one mon that can't play a roll needed filling, try running something else
>Magmortar and Fro
Seems fine but why those EV's on Fro?
>Vileplume
Seems fine
You need a special wall and a cleaner once Fro and Magmortar break down the other teams walls, and you'll be good to go

Quoted By:

>Crustle
Give it a jolly nature

>Fro
Band Bouffalant runs 100 speed in NU to outspeed lanturn and rekt it with EQ

>Vileplume
Synthesis is good but maybe Leech Seed would be better for the whole team and it can force some switches too.

>Miltank
As a wall it really doesn't need any speed at all. I suggest 252 HP/ 252+ SpD / 4 Def

>Gorebyss
Smash Passing is quite gimmicky and really isn't that reliable, especially when you only have 2 mons to pass it to and itself but Gorebyss is still kinda lackluster even with the boost. If you want to keep your Fire/Water/Grass core and want an offensive booster, you can switch it to either Swords Dance or Dragon Dance Feraligatr.

>Magmortar
LO is fine but I like specs better. Hits harder without trying to run a modest nature. Even with LO you should still run Timid for speed. However if you do go with specs, note that Bouffalant also has a band which can cause constant switching and loss of momentum if you don't predict right. Overall, run Timid nature either way
