It's easily the best pokemon in OU.
Pheromosa is stopped cold by Toxapex, Aegi and a bunch of other shit.

Aegislash has issues with fire/dark/ground spam and its 50/50's can backfire tremendously.

This thing? If you don't have a Specs Kyurem or some other absurdly strong ice attack it's gonna setup and sweep your team. Good luck.

By far. I wonder if I just got one with shit IVs, because both Thousand Waves and Extremespeed seem to be walled by fucking everything.

It's only lv. 45 or so at the moment, so it might be better once it levels up some more, but for now it's really not pulling its weight.

Imagine Blissey with the same Def as its Special Def AND Garchomps' offense AND Dragon Dance AND the ability to ignore Ground Immunity.

It's roughly that. Insane.

Freeze Shock is no longer completely useless because Kyurem-B can viably run Icium Z so it can use an extremely powerful Subzero Slammer with it.

It's so strong that it cleanly OHKOs Ferrothorn and a bunch of other bulky shit. Definitely worth considering.

That sure sounds nice but isn't that kind of a waste? As in you waste a moveslot and Kyurem is a sitting duck every time it uses it.

Actually how do Z-moves work with 2 turn moves anyways? Is it like a Power Herb or does it still take 2 turns? I thought a move like Geomancy still requires 2 turns even with a Z-move.

>>30059188
I'd like for you to be able to change your mind. Like you could switch moves after a charge so it's not so predictable.

And Hyper Beam and friends should have been boosted to at least 160 Power already. I mean look at Prismatic Laser.

Freeze Shock with Icium Z turns into a 200 BP Subzero Slammer. It doesn't need to charge but it only works once. Think of it as a glorified Ice Gem, which isn't all that bad since Gems were actually pretty good in gen 5.

Flygon needed something to separate from the other Dragon/Ground Pokemon. It was then revealed that he got Dragon Dance this gen, making him the fastest Dragon/Ground with access to Dragon Dance! Until it was revealed that Zygarde 10% is faster than Flygon, hits just as hard as Flygon, has priority, and gets access to Thousand Arrows.

After he finally stopped getting cucked by a land shark, he's now cucked by a dog.

It sucks he had to switch out Zygarde against Aegislash because he ran out of Thousand Arrows PP.
He did waste a lot of PP on Toxapex, especially against some obvious plays, but I'm not sure what he could have done differently besides the fishing for crits he was already doing.

As much as I'd love to see that horror banned, it isn't gonna happen.

By Smogon's standards it's not broken because it is extremely passive and can be 2HKO'd by SE hits.

It doesn't change the fact that it walls half of OU by itself and the combination of extreme bulk, Recover AND Regenerator is disgusting.

Toxapex is literally the only thing that counters bulky Zygarde sets:

What's impressive is that it does so by BEING WEAK TO ITS STAB ATTACK.

It's a prime case of "broken checking broken".

Assuming they don't have Black Sludge, you can.
+1 Thousand Waves does more than Recover can heal off, so eventually Toxapex will be using more Recover PP than Zygarde will be using Thousand Arrows PP.

It barely did half though, and that's an offensive spread on Zygarde.

I'm just going through replays and this is tanking all kinds of shit.

8 SpA Genesect Ice Beam vs. 240 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 352-416 (84.4 - 99.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

That's Tankchomp, for comparison.

They should have just given Flygon Quiver Dance so then it could actually differentiate itself from the other dragon/grounds. It's only niche is being a good P-Don check.

They should have given it 90 special attack and quiver dance and it'd be the best non-BP quiver dancer in the game.
