Escavalier :v

2 of the 3 sheds I run are for magnezone tbh

Of course! lol Enough to not run a full stall or serene grace ice beam one.

That's why I run 3 shed shells on my team. I will never breed a wobuffet because I have enough self respect to not do it.

I guess this is the pokemon I were looking for to finish my team! btw, what gen mechanic does our overcoat follow?

Just for reference, what set does it use?

Damn! Reuniclus is way more cancerous than Snorlax and Chansey was on their age! I am pratically forced to run something for it on every single pokemon on my team just to not let it get a setup.

Except that this lvl cap system just unnecessarily caused problems for a lot of players, just for a bit more "challenge" that nobody cares and nobody asked for. If it's not broken, don't fix it. If anything, you guys could just made the gym leaders stronger instead of outright turning any higher lvl storyline pokemon into a useless piece of shit. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to sound ungrateful, I can't express with words how amazing it is all the work you guys are doing with this game, really, but the lvl cap thing was just a bad idea imo (maybe the only bad one that I have seem since I started here).

This system sucks and implementing it just now, after all these years, was just an stupid idea. If things were like this from the start, or from really long time ago, it would be another thing. I didn't got any problems with it myself, but I can understand the ppl complaining about.

btw, I still use the camerupt

Any reason to run kingdra on a non rain dance team over anything else?

At first I got confused, because Haxorus can OHKO most, if not all these pokemons you calced even at +0, but then I read the whole post and understand the point is that it cannot setup safely and in most cases these said pokemons would just need to finish off an already heavily damaged haxorus. I am convinced.

Oh well, I really wanted to try it on some of my weird stuff, at least now I know I can't count on it. Thanks for the answers!

I mean, assault vest is gen6 if I am not mistaken(?)

I am not sure on where to ask this, but are we going to get assault vest too with the new items from gen4 and gen5 that we probably are going to get implemented in maybe a not distant future?

what are the best counters/checks for lucario and conkeldurr?

I would want comp legendaries to be as rare as a shiny or almost.

Shadow Ball on Blissey is cool too.

Nah, wanting to keep alakazam is okay, I am the guy who keeps a canerupt on almost all my teams and somehow I get it to good use.

I feel like I am going to learn some stuff in this discussion.

Idk, I think Haxorus is a bit too much for our meta, at least for now. It can oneshot and 2shot everything at +1 DD and cannot be reliabily revenge killed by ice priority since it doesn't have x4 ice weakness like the other DD dragons. Even though it seems to not have a diverse move pool as the other dragons, it still has enough coverage. just calcs: +1 252+ Atk Life Orb Mold Breaker Haxorus Low Kick (100 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ferrothorn: 161-190 (88.9 - 104.9%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO after Leftovers recovery +1 252+ Atk Life Orb Mold Breaker Haxorus Aqua Tail vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Hippowdon: 156-185 (72.5 - 86%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery 252+ Atk Life Orb Mold Breaker Haxorus Dragon Claw vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gyarados: 90-107 (44.5 - 52.9%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery +1 252+ Atk Life Orb Mold Breaker Haxorus Aqua Tail vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 69-82 (40.3 - 47.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO +1 252+ Atk Life Orb Mold Breaker Haxorus Dragon Claw vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Cofagrigus: 90-107 (54.8 - 65.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery 252+ Atk Choice Band Mamoswine Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Haxorus: 126-150 (83.4 - 99.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (adamant banded mamoswine) 252+ Atk Weavile Ice Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Haxorus: 146-174 (96.6 - 115.2%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO (adamant scarfed weavile) 252+ SpA Hydreigon Dragon Pulse vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Haxorus: 204-242 (135 - 160.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO (scarfed hydreigon) 252+ Atk Salamence Dragon Claw vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Haxorus: 168-200 (111.2 - 132.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO (adamant scarfed salamence) Seems like the best way to deal with it is with a faster dragon, lol.

why we just don't ban all the dragons instead?

Maybe I should change mine for a mamoswine or cloyster, since I am more concerned about dragons and already have stuff to deal with reuniclus.

No, I also don't know if it is, it was just a legit question.

Isn't Weavile relevant?
