Yeah. You know that last move on the Choice set? It's filler, so I put Stealth Rock.

I'm just trying to think of a solid Archeops set now that he got Roost.
Thinking Acrobatics/Stone Edge/EQ/Roost with Flying Gem maybe?
Thinking Acrobatics/Stone Edge/EQ/Roost with Flying Gem maybe?
I don't see that working, as Archeops is really frail and will probably lose more than it heals when it Roosts. Plus, once you lose more than 50% (when you would want to use roost) you're opponent will probably stay in and attack since you won't be much of a threat.
i dont know if it was already mentioned but timid thundurus-t with agility does wonders when it comes to late game sweeping.
Thundurus (Thundurus-T) (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Volt Absorb

Tornadus-T (M) @ Life Orb

Oh god this would be amazing.
Also, fuck you Gliscor. Keeps giving me reasons to hate it more. GL killing it without ice from everything.
Well there's a reason it's RU.
But I guess you're right, Archeops really doesn't have a place in OU. Wish Passing is way too obvious and will get it blown up anyway.
Nah plenty of Pokemon carry Ice attacks and plenty of strong special attackers that carry moves like Hydro Pump. Throw him the rain and hes really gonna be hurting.
He prolly won't ever be über.
Stop overestimating his bulk. Roost isn't that great as it gives things a chance to exploit his lack of flying type (earthquakes, fighting moves) and gliscor dies to water attacks too. Strong special attacks also kill gliscor. Gliscor isn't that great guys.
EDIT: holy f*** we posted at the same time

gliscor doesn't like water type moves either, especially in the rain.
Guys, again tell me the last time smogon banned a defensive pokemon outside of pokemon 600+, honestly your complaints about Gliscor sound the same and people complaining about Blissey, deal with it.
and it's not like gliscor is all that hard to deal with. hit it with a special based ice move and watch it die.
Has shadow tag chandelure been found yet?
I can see everyone is going nuts over keldeo, the therian formes, haxorus, mamoswine etc - but isn't chandelure just going ot be on nearly every team now with shadow tag and trick ?

I honestly do not see Aqua Tail being such an amazing addition to Haxorus. I know many people, like myself, were praying it would get Fire Punch, but ground-types and rock-types take the same damage from a STAB Outrage, unless the pokemon is 4X weak to water or is part steel. Fire-types take more from earthquake so I really do not see the big deal over this addition.
Edit: I was about to say it could be used for Volcaronas, but rock slide decimates it.

Shadow Tag Chandelure is not yet released.
Shroomish can get Drain Punch but Poliwrath can't? What is this? -.-
Well, at least the worst dragon got some very good boosts (i'm talking about Druddigon, of course):
Fire Punch, Gunk Shot, Iron Head, and ThunderPunch. All can be boosted by Sheer Force (though 2 of these are useless).
Not to say now we finally got a dragon that can set up Stealth Rock (don't mention Garchomp please). To top it off, it can play with some Sleep Talk + Rough Skin sets to lay down some hurt (Spikes+SR+Rough Skin+Dragon Tail? Ouch. And again, please don't mention Garchomp).
AND it also got Aqua Tail, and Dark Pulse for the supreme Specs Sheer Force set (imagine Dark Pulse/Focus Blast/Flamethrower/Sludge Bomb all in one set. I'd say unwallable).
Too bad it still sucks, but hey it got the highest number of boosts!

Druddigon doesn't get shed skin, it gets rough skin.
Why is everybody ignoring the fact that we now got Sniper Beedrill running around with Drill Run? That's some wack stuff right there, sure to tear up the PU tier...
Big head, and little arms.
Probably the same reason why Zapdos missed out on Hurricane while Articuno/Moltres got it. It's likely that they think that Haxorus with the elemental punches is overpowered; same deal with Zapdos. Why else did Druddigon get Fire / Thunderpunch despite having a similar body composition as Haxorus? It's that or they probably wanted to give us a reason to use Druddigon over Haxorus. Yeah, GF has always been a little shaky with balance, but they're not completely hopeless.
