Ting-Lu and Spdef Clodsire have usually a good match-up on balance teams and any faster Ground type or Electric resistance either forces it out or forces it to Tera, though the latter usually usually leads to a KO on your end so patience is required

Yeah I agree on this, just adding some calcs. A lot of Darkrais though do run Tera Blast Fairy or Thunderbolt, which may help to chip

It is also important to consider that even if Jolly at +2 Blaziken is still outsped by Booster Boulder and Scarf Darkrai

For additional heat, Shadow Sneak could be fun to force out a set-up sweeper after they have been tricked

It is true that they cover different niches but the support movepool is lacking as well unfortunately

True but honestly don't know how impactful it will be. Offensive stats and movepool are quite bad, with its physical bulk being the only thing it has over Gengar, who is already bad. It probably will have a nice nieche in Bulky Offense and Balance though for which I am pretty excited but it...

I would say that the state of the metagame doesn't require it at the moment, as there is no particularly centralizing pokemon or playstyle that dominates everything since Terapagos was banned. There are certainly in my opinion some mons who are particularly egregious but I wil wait the survey...

It is sometimes a bit Tera reliant but the regenvest set can act as a good pivot and rain check, being especially good against Waterpon. On that topic, what has been the viability of Fickle Beam compared to just dropping Draco?

Guys remember that, when in doubt, the king and queen of anti-cheese are still here :sm/zamazenta: :sm/hatterene:

Could someone explain me the EVs for the smogon Bulkarona set? Also are there important thresholds missed fo using Fiery Dance over Flamethower?

Been trying your team and really loved experimenting with it, Porygon-Z can be really effective against certain teams. However, I've been having a lot of trouble against Volc, especially bulk sets. My only option has been to never let it switch in for free but even with that a Hurricane miss is...

I really appreciate the feedback, I'll certainly give your options a try since i really found myself struggling with lack of longevity. Since this new team would be quite weak against opposing Heatran could EQ be an option over Scald on Slowbro? Edit: Also could Protect be a choice over...

Small note, you put Iron Defense instead of Iron Head on Bish

bump

The premise of the team was to find a way to use Buzzwhole since it's a fun mon and an underrated threat. I was tired though of only seeing defensive sets and wanted to try a choiced set, since I have heard it can work with enough support. :buzzwole: :slowking-galar: :mandibuzz: :heatran...

Would you consider misty explosion over regular explosion to catch dragapult predicting boom? It also still does comparable damage on defensive lando, which I find is a typical boom absorber

I'm not going to get the reqs for the vote, but I feel that it's important to point out that Zama isn't a free pivot on Bisharp or Weavile if they are running Low kick, which is a common move on both on CB sets. 252 Atk Choice Band Weavile Low Kick (120 BP) vs. +1 0 HP / 0 Def...

Here you go 168 SpA Victini Scorching Sands vs. 252 HP / 128+ SpD Heatran: 184-220 (47.6 - 56.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery 168 SpA Victini Glaciate vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Dragapult: 140-166 (44.1 - 52.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock 0 SpA Victini...

I feel it's worthy of note that with quite a bit of SpAtt investment it can 2HKO both SpDef Heatran and Dragapult on the switch with SR chip with Scorching Sands and Glaciate (which reduces Speed) respectively

Thanks for the advice but this team has become outdated fast lol
