It has to do with its new ability to OHKO most mons with supersonic skystrike after a moxie boost.
From Gen 1 to Gen 7 transfer, was there any notable moves on anyone?
Counter Magic Guard Alakazam is the only one I recall being relevant for OU.
Hi
I would like to make an Unaware pyukumuku thread discussing its viability to support a hail team.
how and where can i do this?
I wanted to suggest Unaware pyukumuku.
recover, toxic, hail (and something like swagger/pain split/protect) is a thought ive been playing with next to my Ninetales/Mamoswine/Abomasnow.

hey I actually was wondering if there was a location to discuss hail teams and viable options.

Pyukumuku already had a thread at the beginning of the generation, and it was ultimately closed (or at least pushed off the front page) due to its minimal viability in the OU metagame for a while.
If you'd like to talk/ask about it and how to use it, your best bet is probably the Metagame discussion thread.
Hey there, competitively inexperienced player here. My question: Is it now mandatory to have at least 1 Tapu in the team to stay competitively viable? Their field effects seem to be so fundamental that it might be a disadvantage not to use them. Or is this more like weather, meaning you can still have a good team without it?
Tapu terrain is not an archetype, but a useful benefit. It is not mandatory to have at least one Tapu. You could still have a good team without the tapus.
When will Counter+Magic Guard Alakazam be implemented on the ladder? The teambuilder still lists it as an illegal combination for me.

Banned deucer.
Lando that run hp ice what's their common set, I realized I could change hp for one of my pokemon for a target to hp rock to nail fire moth as a lure set instead of having to use sash dugtrio.
But hp ice lando will become more of a threat if I do.

Mimikyu's niche is setting up an easy Swords Dance or Z-Splash while the opponent hits its Disguise, and then sweeping with its Attack boosts.
Minor thing, Z-Splash was deemed pointless to use over SD since Mimikyu with LO has basically the same Damage output while not using up your Z-Crystal.
It can hold red card and completely stop any sweeper in its tracks except for Mega Gyarados. It's also one of the best TR setters out there. It's good against HO too because HO does not like disguise. The SD set is very good too, like Wafer said
why are some pokemon like mega Sceptile still not released in OU. Mega Glalie used to be like this but now I can play him on showdnown.
Simply put, we dont have their mega stones yet.
I was wondering if DragMag was a viable strategy in SM OU. I heard that 4drag2mag was popular back in DPPt, and I was wondering if any variation of using Magnezone in tandem with a Dragon-type sweeper is viable in the current generation.
Magnezone/Magneton + Z-Fly Salamence is a popular core I've seen and used quite a lot. Definitely an effective core seeing as Z-Fly is nearly unresisted except by Steel and Rock types, which can be dealt with by Magnezone or Earthquake from Salamence.
Because Game Freak haven't released around half of the Mega Stones in Gen 7 yet. They've announced they'll be releasing them all throughout official competitions; and specifically that we'll be getting Beedrillite and Mawilite in a few weeks.
In the Rate My Team subforum. Make sure to read the rules there first!
I did and I don't think I'll ever be able to receive help on what I'm doing wrong with my teams because I'm not nerdy enough to write paragraphs about each Pokémon. :(
