In the unlikely event that you manage to get in 6 Cosmic Powers, what would you do? Explode?

It IS stupid, sorry to break it to you. No one will let you Cosmic Power 6 times, and even if you Cosmic Power 6 times, fighting attacks will screw you over. Even after 6 Cosmic Powers, a Choice Banded Machamp still 2HKO's you effortlessly, nevermind that you'll NEVER get Cosmic Powers off (did I say that already :<). Explosion does ass to basically everything without a Belly Drum, which is usually Baton Passed since Smeargle still only has 608 Attack AFTER a Belly Drum, which is horrible (Smeargle has 20 Base Attack, or 152 before the BD)

Clefable, Claydol, hell even Starmie does the whole Cosmic Power gimmick thing better. At LEAST give Smeargle a recovery move and something like Toxic or Explosion and Stealth Rock; both are complete garbage moves on that set to be perfectly honest.

Scope lense is banned under the item clause.

And no, if a poke has access to STAB'd dark moves in the uber tier it is realllly stupid not to use it. Of the 21 pokemon existing in the uber tier, 11 are hit for super effective damage by DP- Thats a full half of them. Plus, Dark/Fight is a type combo that hits everything in the game for at least neutral, covering the multitude of non-ubers brought into the tier.

So yeah, spacial rend does not help at all really.

Ok.....Thanks, El Gofre.

42 HP/252 Def/216 SpD.

There's another EV spread used for Blissey if you want Ice Beam to do more damage; I think it's 82 SpA/252 Def/176 SpD.

Swellow @ Toxic Orb
Adamant
110 HP / 252 Attack / 90 Speed
- Facade
- Steel Wing / Brave Bird
- U-Turn
- Pursuit

Facade for STAB, Steel Wing for coverage (or Brave Bird for another strong, STAB), U-Turn to get the out of there if the battle goes bad for me, and Pursuit for the pokemon who switch out.

Just wanted to know if this Swellow could be good in a UU wifi/shoddy battle.

Hell, just run Jolly 252 Atk/252 Spd. The bulk doesn't help and if you want the chance for Flame Orb to activate, you could go with Protect>Pursuit, which won't do much without a STAB or Guts Active. Guts won't be active, as they switch out unless you switch in on the sweeper, and most Psychics/Ghosts are bulky in UU, anyway.

For the record, Steel only hits Ice and Rock, the latter being the only concern. If its a Phys wall, then Steel Wing won't do much anyway, otherwise Facade is just a good.

Geeknerdbutt, you can always post an RMT if you want a team checked out in detail. Regardless, Kingdra is now more of a threat as a Physical Sweeper, with Outrage and what are with Electivire's EVs? Just run 252/252, unless there's a good reason.

i'm looking for a decent poke to clear nasty weather effects away and have been contemplating using blissey as follows.

Bold Nature, 252 Def / 40 SpA / 216 SpD EVs
Sunny Day
Flamethrower
Solarbeam
Softboiled

is it worth it or is there a better sandstorm/hail canceller out there for OU play?

Why waste time trying to cancel weather out when Aboma and Hippow/tar can just set it back up automatically lol? and why sunny day when its inferior to Rain Dance (Choice of pokes, which pokes wall you etc)?

Kingdra is your best bet for canceling weather(Rain Dance) as is Bronzong, and then you can base the rest of your team around this and throw in some good stuff like Kabutops, let me tell you after an SD in the rain its GG, even in ou from that thing.

Absolute Atk Machamo does 104.32% - 123.24% to Bulky Gyara with SE and 131.33% - 154.82% to LO Gyara.

ThunderPunch does 157.84% - 185.95% and 197.59% - 232.53% to Bulky and LO Gyara, respectively.

Normal Machamo does 131.33% - 155.42% with T-Punch to LO Gyara and 104.86% - 124.32% to Bulky ones.

SE does 70.27% - 82.70% to Bulky and 87.95% - 103.61% to LO Gyara.

I'm probably doing some unnecessary calculations. :<
 
Actually, that's just what I wanted. Thanks, I was trying some myself and It said like 70% or something, I knew I was doing something wrong.

So wait, do you mean by "normal machamo" = max atk machamp w/ intimidate?


ANYWAYs, is jirachi considered a better special/physical wall?
