Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Planning on building a Meowscuda balance team featuring the buffed Gastrodon honestly. I honestly like the synergy the two seemingly have in theory - haven't practiced too much with it, but Meowscuda seems like it has at least some OU viability.
All this talk about CM Prima, and I'm just like "Uhh, Specs is a monster" as well as having a more immdiate threat. It takes prediction, but you have Scald (or hydro)/Moonblast/Energy Ball/Psychic at your disposal.
The thing with Clef is that I don't necessarily think the mon is "broken" in a conventual sense. It's very, very good and versatile in what it can do; offers role compression depending on sets. However, I do think it needs to be looked at for a suspect test (or the WishPort sets at the very...
It still takes prediction on the Melmetal player's end to click rock slide against Rotom-H on the switch in - as otherwise, Rotom will win out due to outspeeding, althp overheat's SpA drop must be accounted for. PS: Rotom-H always runs Heavy Duty boots, so Rocks aren't a Factor in this (unless...
Melmetal is absolutely bonkers in this metagame honestly, which has been stated multiple times. You only really have the Rotom's as reliable "counters" but even then, especially in Heat's case - Mel can carry coverage to dent them hard. I've been using PhysDef Rotom-H, which has over...

An edited version of the Melmetal balanced team I posted :). Edited its speed to outrun netural unvested Hippo. Same theory applies and feel free to change if you so wish. Webs work well to enable Melmetal + others to outrun potential threats.
I'd like to introduce everyone to Physically defensive Togekiss.

I can see defensive versions of the rotom boys (Heat, Wash and even mow) with Will-o-wisp seeing more play due to them being the closest thing to a "counter" to Melmetal's DIB spam that we have, though even then - Melmetal will usually pack coverage and they're still dented by other moves on its...
I agree on it being tough to build around and figure out the best moveset for it 100%. There are definitely flaws with the mon for sure when it comes to match ups and pther factors. It can be a handy rocker tho if you wish for it to be, as well as having some neat potential in the tier.
This might seem a little out there, but if Zeraora's threat level is risung due to Duggy being gone and Clef moving to more SpDef for Kyurem, I'd like to pitch Physically defensive Celebi w/ Colbur berry as a potential check to Zera.
Yes, Knock off can be a pain to deal with, but Colbur...

I love your videos man. They inspired me to try out ADV (a lot of fun) . You nay have done this already, but I'd love to see a video on how to figure out someone's last in ADV.
