Venomoth can pretend to fill this role, but it’s extremely frail and has poor coverage (Psychic +Giga Drain are basically it). It’s hard to see any of the pokemon who currently have QD being viable set-up sweepers in OU

Zé Capáu AtraX Madara I wasn’t claiming that those pokemon are better than Sableye or something, just that it’s not obvious to me that Sableye is the only viable prankster user. Yes, Sableye is probably going to be the best prankster user in all future metas. No, it’s not obvious to me that the...

It’s not obvious to me that Sableye is the only viable prankster Pokémon. Illumise, Volbeat, and Murkrow all have a higher BST and interesting movepools. All three have access to TWave (and Sableye doesn’t), and Murkrow and Volbeat both have access to Roost for priority recovery. Murkrow has the...

I’ll try that out. I’m not particularly convinced by your EV spread… Against 252+ SpD, 252+ SpA fails to guarantee the OHKO, 0 SpA does 70-80 and 0+ SpA does 75-90. 24 EVs only adds ~1.1%, which doesn’t seem like it hits anything important. But I’m definitely intrigued, and getting a OHKO after...

Do you think mixed Zolt is the way to go? It does get access to Icicle Crash so it’s not like it’s dying for STAB

What do the 16 Att EVs do? I don’t see any mention of that.

Wow, I had never processed how weak Koko is. Plz give us play rough GameFreak :( Another 252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Koko Dazzling Gleam vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Latias: 252-296 (83.7 - 98.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO I was in the middle of building a fairy team, andnow I’m questioning if I want Koko on it.

It’s somewhat inconsistent. It also effects weather moves and hazards other than Stick Webs, for example. But by and large it effects moves that target the Pokémon with pressure.

The first thing I would evaluate is their match-up vs super effective typings. If it’s a poison team, for example, you’re looking for answers to psychic and ground types. Every type has its weaknesses and it’s okay if your poison team loses to ground typically, but you really don’t want to have...

When you run Moltres-G do you also run Mandibuzz? The fact that the two Pokémon have the same typing has caused hesitancy in a lot of people in this forum in the past. Re: Azelf, I think you are overselling how good it is against those types. Dark: Loses to TTar and at least one set of every...
