You are saying sand teams are not good?Manual sand isn't worth it.
Sand teams are fine. What he's saying is that you don't need a manual setter for Sand teams. You should be fine with either Tyranitar or Hippowdon holding a Smooth Rock.You are saying sand teams are not good?
No. He's saying that manually setting sand with the attack "sandstorm" is bad. Although now that you mention it, there aren't really full sand teams in the same way that there are full rain teams (Politoed + Kingdra +Kabu/OMA + Rain Mega + secondary setter + pivot). Sand teams tend to be (Tyranitar/Hippo + Excadrill + things to cover shared weaknesses + maybe M-Chomp). Granted, there's still some team slot constriction because T-Tar and hippo both stack weaknesses with Excadrill and chomp, but the thing about sand offense is that you really don't need a secondary setter.You are saying sand teams are not good?

yesCan Serperior and volcarona suit in balanced team?I don't mean them being in the same team, I mean in general, are they suitable for balanced teams?
I think they must go up from their own tier based on usage.Looking at the usage stats, will Quagsire and Amoonguss be in OU soon?
Sleep Talk has +0 priority, as well as any move it calls. So yes, ST can phaze your opponent out before they move, robbing them of a turn.How does Sleep talk work with priority move? Phazing moves in particular
SubToxic Gliscor is a decent set and deals nicely with balanced and offensive builds and is quite stall-y. I prefer running Spikes Skarmory, but Stealth Rock is viable as well I guess; a specially defensive spread is good to deal with Mega Gardevoir, Mega Diancie, and Keldeo better.Does anyone know a few good Stall Gliscor sets or a SR Skarmory sets I can use in some of my teams?
For offensive M-Scizor (SD + 3 attacks), are there any notable OHKO's or important speed cutoffs I should be aware of when deciding between Adamant or Jolly?
I believe it's irrelevant. The damage mechanics are all multiplicative, so, for instance, a mon with 200 Attack using an (effective) 80 BP move hits exactly as hard as a mon with 300 Attack using a 120 BP move.Two questions:
Is the 1.3x Life Orb multiplier being applied to the base power of a move you're using or the offensive stat of your pokemon. Is the answer any different for things like the type plates or Choice Items?
In what order is base power calculated? For example, when is the Aerilate 30% boost applied relative to the STAB boost and the super effective/not very effective damage modifier?
Having a set with two boosting moves, for example rock polish + swords dance terrakion or swords dance + tailwind mega charizard x.What does the term "double dance" mean?
Thanks a lot for clarifying, I have been wondering about that for a while.Having a set with two boosting moves, for example rock polish + swords dance terrakion or swords dance + tailwind mega charizard x.
