Gliscor walls SD Exca. Swampert doesn't get OHKOd. Defensive Chomp doesn't get OHKOd. Skarm should wall you if no flinch. Lucario doesn't have low usage and is used primarily with SD, so you may need to check statistics to see proof of that or ask anyone knowledgeable about the current meta. The rest are super true. You are 100% missing the point here, although that's not altogether unsurprising.

Lucario, Mienshao, Breloom, Excadrill, Kabutops, Toxicroak. Essentially all of them.

Bold has nearly 30% usage and is the second most popular nature. In any case, Mixed Dnite can be gradually worn down by rocks, effective pivoting and spdef Gliscor; same for Mence, but even more so cuz it has a worse physical movepool. Dnite is scary, but doable. Infernape's checks have already been dealt with (Slowbro, Jellicent, Chandelure, spdef Garchomp, Mandibuzz, etc.). Also scary, but doable. Hydrei we have seen has defensive switches, the easiest as you said being AV Shao which can just turn and bring in something to force it out. Crawdaunt 2kos Amoonguss with Crunch, yes. Have you heard of pivoting? Plus, 66% of Amoonguss are running helmet so each time you do bring it in on Crunch it's taking chip. If Reuniclus runs coverage like Thunder then it's gonna leave itself vulnerable to Band Ttar, Scizor, Weavile, etc. Anything with taunt like Mandibuzz just shuts it down most times anyway. Breloom if using Orb Zen + CC as per your example has to drop SD or Spore or Rock Tomb or Mach Punch (lol?) so can be dealt with by any number of flying types, Volcarona, Gliscor, Espeon, Impish Chomp, etc. Bulky Mence is not faster than Adamant Gallade, you'd need 100 speed if running Bold. Gallade is mostly running Jolly (56%) anyway, so Bold would have to be 204 speed; Timid 100 with 156 presumably going into defence. It could work but you are still gonna be taking minimum 62% of your hp (-1 252 Atk Life Orb Sharpness Gallade Psycho Cut vs. 252 HP / 156 Def Salamence: 75-91 (37.1 - 45%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock) to come in on -1 Psycho Cut if rocks are up (and presumably you'd be using Sala to defog so you'd possibly be using 2 turns to roost/defog), which can be problematic in cases where your opponent doesn't give you the time to defog in that scenario cuz you will slowly lose to Gallade with rocks and psycho cut outdamaging your 50% recovery

Can a mod please reach out via DMs and let me know why my post trying to get the discussion back on track was deleted yet other occurrences of "insulting, offensive, or abusive comments" remain?

Can you not? Dual stab and Night Slash essentially OHKOs every defensive mon in and out of the tier outside of the aforementioned Sableye. TL;DR the only 'safe' defensive switches are Sableye (not seen much in OU), running a random Colbur on Slowbro or Jellicent (but guess what? you should have gone Rindo sucker cuz this Gallade has Leaf Blade instead!), or Colbur on Cofagrigus, which even has a chance to drop to +2 Psycho Cut after rocks and in all of those scenarios wisp can miss.

Hi Kaynine, I've had this useful list bookmarked for ages now and refer to it constantly when teambuilding, but would you be able to add Garchomp (122 / 154 / 169) and Amoonguss (50 / 82 / 90)? I realise it's not very practical to have to update it every month with tier shifts (i.e. Mamoswine going to OU) but seems like these two will never fall!

[PSL XV] Players Registration - EDIT: 18th, 5 PM GMT FINISH
dithyrambique replied to KaynineXL's topic in Unofficial Events
IGN: dithyrambique Discord: dithy30#7796 Time Zone: UTC + 0 (GMT). Tiers: OU but would like to play other tiers like UU/NU. Fluff: Buy me if you need to round out your team for like 2 credits. I wouldn't spend more than the bare minimum on myself, but you might get more than the bare minimum out of me. Who knows? That's gambling. -
