Megagross is Megastronk, but without some move tutor moves has issues. You have to rely on Meteor Miss over Iron Head for one, and no Ice Punch.

Your brother is a retard.

Also you're wrong. Silvally has ONE good set, and it's special.

Silvally @ Dragon Memory
Draco Meteor
Flamethrower
Parting Shot
Thunder Wave

That said its still shit, especially in OU.

The attack boost doesn't proc often enough to be useful compared to IH's flinch chance, and the 10 BP power drop is made up for by the perfect accuracy. Do you run Aqua Tail over Waterfall on Azumarill?

It's not a bad Pokemon, and catches some people off guard. Problem is that I (and a lot of other people) expected so much more from it.

Type: Null is good at battle royale.
Dragon Claw
Iron Head
Swords Dance
Substitute/Protect
Relaxed Nature 252 Def/SpD
Since you have three opponents and you tank any attack that isn't a pseudo legend, null is pretty comfortable with this set. But, it's battle royale so only use him if youre bored.

Crossgen evolution with Gen 8

It turns from a silver doggo to a golden doggo.
Its ability will become RKS System v.Z, which makes it change type with z-crystals instead of memories. Either that, or give it its own Z-move, which is all eighteen types and ignores immunity, instead dealing half-damage to types it would normally clank harmlessly off of without a single drop of blood being shed.

Fucking this. Shitters don't care about actually building a solid team, they just see whats at the top of the OU list because they believe tat guarantee victory. You have to create a team that counters the top shit, not simply follow it mindlessly. I use pokemon from PU-RU and still win against OU because they specifically stop the top tier threats.

Just make it deal SE damage on everything, it's actually worth using that way. Being every type at once is just asking for a Steel-type or something to come in and eat it for free.
