is there any way to do remotely well on battle spot without using gen 6 ubers (mega mence, mega lucario, aegislash, etc) or the same like 5 others currently used on every team?

asking honestly

Check top usage

Pick a core that works for you that can handle the majority of those threats

you're gonna have to rely on revenge killers then

Skarmory is a good cover all, in addition to checking new mons like Bulu and Pheremosa, you can use it as a bandaid for things like Mega Crossaint (since they don't often run Fire Blast), which is legal and can be hard to deal with. Mega Mence, for example, is something you're probably going to have to revenge kill with your own Pheremosa or something

Seconding Skarmory
He lets me use mons I want like Hydreigon and M Pinsir because he's such a safe switch and can put pressure on anyone

Why wouldn't you want to use them?

Anyway, I think that Dragonite is really underrated. But you have to run Jolly now since Tapu Koko is everywhere.

they're really one dimensional and that is just compounded when they're fucking everywhere.

also porygon2 gets special mention here as well, I don't have a lot for that thing

Dragon Dance, Z Fire Punch.

I'm sure sure if it has a slot for Extreme Speed, you need EQ for Koko and Fire Punch for Celesteela. The later is the main reason to use it over Garchomp.

Because Extremespeed can only be gotten by breeding with a Dragonite which knows Extremespeed which can only be gotten by importing one from XY which was gotten by importing one from BW which was gotten by importing the gift one from HGSS.

I really hope the use of garchomp goes down when bank comes out. he's not actually difficult to beat, just boring as hell

knock off weavile, who has been a favorite of mine since its inception

I actually used bros like eelektross and yanmega to pretty high success in gen 6. but again that was after the sword got banned.

I guess I just like facing variety. when I battle a random now I always am happy to see people using decidueye, the toucan (a real favorite), and vikavolt.

with that said, it's quite rare to see them used. even in free battles aegislash and life orb land shark are spammed. I really don't get it because they're free battles, play around with some other stuff

Isn't it a Tutor move, though? Will we be able to use pentagon mons in ranked?

Waiting for my Reuniclus to even consider Trick Room in singles.

Trevenant is legit tho. Harvest, Leech Seed, that fucker lives forever.
