Do Not Ban

confirming as oufr doc martens Setsu edit: confirmed

toxapex is generally the best switch-in for iron valiant. (do keep in mind though that non-choice special valiants are walled by tera steel clodsire, as non-mixed valiants are not running close combat) mixed iron valiant generally runs two sets, one with life orb and one with booster energy...

unaware on clodsire undoubtedly holds this team together. blissey not having access to toxic means special attacking setup sweepers can take advantage of blissey's passivity. and while haze and water absorb does sound decent on paper, it simply forces clodsire to spam haze and recover in front...

the concept of longevity is actually one of the key attributes when it comes to discussing checks and counters. this is smogon's definition of a counter. "Pokémon A counters Pokémon B if Pokémon A can manually switch into Pokémon B and still win every time, even under the worst case scenario...

i feel ting-lu should be considered a check and not a counter due to the lack of longevity. ting-lu can't take three dracos.

it truly depends on your hazard control core. chien-pao is extremely threatening, even without choice band, but having that immediate power can be nice for breaking capabilities. if your defensive core is something like great tusk and hatterene, running choice band is a great idea, but if you...

Dondozo @ Leftovers Ability: Unaware Tera Type: Fairy/Electric EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Impish Nature - Liquidation - Curse - Rest - Sleep Talk dondozo hard counters dragonite. unaware makes dondozo one of the best answers to any physical setup sweeper, and this definitely includes...

covert cloak's capabilities go beyond niche match-ups. it enables defensive play on pokemon that would otherwise fall short to chance, such as defense drops, flinching, etc.

yeah, the double regenerator match-ups can be really hard to break past. what i have done in those games is use corviknight's pressure to pp stall the regenerator pokemon, but using gholdengo is much more effective at beating fatter teams. i guess when it comes to iron valiant i got scarred by...

hi highv0ltag3, i've been using this team a lot, and i respect the ladder achievements you've gotten so far with this team. however, i've made a few personal adjustments to the team and i recommend you try them out on an alt account to test the results yourself. 1st adjustment: :gholdengo: ->...

someone needs to get Blimax involved with this. he is by far one of the most talented showdown ladder players and deserves recognition for his youtube channel

you're right my bad. i'll fix it

Corviknight @ Weakness Policy Ability: Mirror Armor Tera Type: Dark EVs: 252 HP / 204 SpD / 52 Spe Careful Nature - Power Trip - Bulk Up - Agility - Roost How To Use: 1. come in on a hazard setter 2. terastallize into dark-type and click either bulk up or agility. corviknight alone baits...

Kingambit @ Black Glasses Ability: Supreme Overlord Tera Type: Flying EVs: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 140 Spe Adamant Nature - Sucker Punch - Iron Head - Brick Break - Swords Dance chi-yu will switch into kingambit due to how threatening kingambit is once it sets up. chi-yu resists both...

Breloom @ Choice Band Ability: Technician Tera Type: Fighting/Fire EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Close Combat/Spore - Mach Punch - Bullet Seed - Bulldoze gholdengo's typing and ability practically counter breloom's spore and stab moves, so it's tempting to switch gholdengo...

i'd like to add to this. as someone who has been trying to make stall work this gen, i don't find gholdengo to be a problem at all. beating it just comes down to the team builder, as it is extremely predictable when it comes in. i've been running this personally to deal with it: Great Tusk @...

is rage fist affected only by physical moves, and what are some ways to counter annihilape?

unfortunately, it's very hard to build a "do it all" stall team that checks all stall-breakers. this is because if you focus too much on checking specific threats, your team is going to be lopsided and you'll end up being vulnerable to stuff a stall team would normally wall. however, i will try...
