    Out-speeds Celebi, then takes it down with one Dark Pulse. Best thing Celebi could do is use Giga Drain, but that wouldn't do much damage.

  • I kind of wanted to say this a few days and waited patiently for somebody else to do it. It didn't happen. pssst, timid 252 celebi reaches 328 speed (100 base says sup), hydreigon has 98 base and w/ modest hits a modest 295 speed (timid hits 324), so celebi still outspeeds it. Celebi can't really hurt it unless Hydreigon is at ~50%, with Celebi deciding to Nasty Plot on the switch, so you still win. /picking nits


    HYDREIGON IS FAIR(L)Y WEAK IN MY OPINION

    Unfortunately for Spanisheon:

    -Muk w/Black Sludge
    Nature: Adamant
    Ability: Poison Touch
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Attack, 4 Sp.Defense

    4 SpA Sylveon Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Muk: 62-74 (14.9 - 17.8%) -- possible 8HKO after Black Sludge recovery
    4 SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Muk: 68-81 (16.4 - 19.5%) -- possible 7HKO after Black Sludge recovery


    Muk can easily set up Curses since Shadow Ball and Fus Ro Dah do little to it, then goes for the OHKO.

  • Taking very little damage from Mamo's attacks and threatens to setup entry hazards or KO's.

    Not really. Icicle Crash 3HKOs Skarmory so the only way of countering would be using Whirlwind. If Skarmory flinches, Mamoswine wins. But then again, Icicle Crash has a 10% chance of missing.

    252+ Atk Life Orb Mamoswine Icicle Crash vs. 224 HP / 252 Def Skarmory: 125-148 (38.2 - 45.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

    0 Atk Skarmory Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Xatu: 97-115 (29 - 34.4%) -- 4.8% chance to 3HKO
