Hi I`d like to submit a team I built for TCL. DREISHAO BALANCE I used this team on the last regular week of TCL which was important for us to qualify for poffs and I was theorymonning a lot about Gliscor structures since it had just gained Poison Heal and I knew for sure it would be on the top of the food chain. I wanted to try something with Gliscor + a very well-known offensive core on Hydreigon + Mienshao, Hydreigon pairs beautifully with Mienshao in any way you want to use them, whether you wanna use Scarf Drei + LO/AV Shao or Scarf Shao with NP/3 Atk Roost Drei. I`m gonna do a quick breakdown: Gliscor @ Toxic Orb Ability: Poison Heal Level: 50 EVs: 252 HP / 52 Def / 140 SpD / 60 Spe Careful Nature - Swords Dance - Earthquake - Facade - Roost This was the mon I wanted to build with, actually the set I was focusing on building around was Spikes Gliscor since spikes go really well with Dreishao, but due to some building complications I decided to turn it into a setup mon since it does handle quite a lot thanks to the boosts. The EV spread gives it enough speed to outspeed neutral base 70s such as Breloom while full HP +140 SpD helps it take 2 LO Draco Meteor from Garchomp after rocks, the rest on Def to improve the overall matchup vs physical threats like Mienshao, Garchomp and Infernape. This mon helps a lot with the Balance matchup since those use to rely quite a bit on Weavile to take Gliscor out, while being generally a good help vs stuff like Reuniclus, Volcarona and Lucario. Empoleon @ Shuca Berry Ability: Torrent Level: 50 EVs: 252 HP / 44 SpA / 212 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Stealth Rock - Scald - Ice Beam - Roost The rocks setter of choice for this team, amazing mon overall in the tier and I feel like it is just underrated, the one thing annoying this mon is having to choose the slot between Ice Beam and Toxic, since without Toxic you can`t annoy Washtom. Anyways getting back to the overview, very reliable setter with very useful resistances to boot, notably checking Weavile. Rocks, Scald and Roost are all very self-explanatory but Ice Beam is being chosen on the last slot alongside Shuca Berry so you can lure ground pokemon such as Garchomp, Nidoking and Gliscor, it is also useful at not letting Serperior and Hydreigon clicking Substitute for free while with the 44 SpA actually 2HKOing both. Probably very useful into the newcomer Multiscale Dragonite too. Hydreigon @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate Level: 50 EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Nasty Plot - Dark Pulse - Focus Blast - Roost Another setup threat for the team, this mon absolutely loves Mienshao pivotting capabilities as it can lure in Ghost-types and Weezing, stuff that are generally not comfortable being on Drei`s face, facilitating the setup. Dark Pulse + Focus Blast just hits so much, Focus Blast nailing Tyranitar and Empoleon most notably while hitting the blobs for a lot of damage. Very straightforward mon. Rotom-Mow @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate Level: 50 EVs: 252 HP / 32 Def / 224 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Leaf Storm - Volt Switch - Will-O-Wisp - Defog The removal option for the team, Mowtom often struggles to find space in OU due to competing for a slot with Washtom but I still consider it a very solid mon with its niches over Washtom. First being a lot better into Gyarados compared to Washtom which has to run Rindo Berry in order to effectively take it out, the EV spread makes so Rotom has enough speed to outspeed unboosted Jolly Gyarados (you also outspeed other key base 80 mons like Jolly Mamoswine and Dragonite) while having enough Defense to avoid being OHKOd by Life Orb +1 Ice Fang from Gyara). This slot used to be a Serperior but altho Serp can also Defog I needed the role compression Mowtom offers to the team. Mienshao @ Choice Scarf Ability: Regenerator Level: 50 EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Close Combat - Stone Edge - Knock Off - U-turn This mon is SO good, best scarfer in the tier hands down imo cuz of its pivotting usefulness and speed allowing it to revengekill stuff such as Volcarona, Gyarados, etc. And I don`t think I can explain a lot about this mon, simply STAB + necessary coverage to hit Volcarona and flying mons + necessary U-turn + Knock to offer some utility, maybe even knocking that one Gliscor trying to activating the orb on your supposed U-turn and Knocking off that annoying Rocky Helmet mainly from Weezing who nullifies your ability. DO NOT USE HP ICE ON SCARF SETS ITS USELESS. Weezing @ Black Sludge Ability: Neutralizing Gas Level: 50 EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Sludge Bomb/Clear Smog - Flamethrower - Will-O-Wisp - Pain Split I don`t like using this mon but yea, well, Serperior+Conk moment. Serperior and Conkeldurr force me to use this and no I don`t think it is a bad mon I just do not like having to slot it, since it goes better on this team compared to Golbat/Crobat. Sludge Bomb gives you the minimum threat this passive levitating fart can offer with nasty poison chances, Clear Smog is another option for that slot as it helps vs Bulk Up Conkeldurr and may also help with Dragonite. Flamethrower is key on this team so it can actively threaten Scizor, as it is the only fire coverage this team has, Wisp annoys physical threats and avoids giving Garchomp free entries and Pain Split as it is the best recovery option for it. This team is easy to use and gives you options to play a more proactive game with Dreishao and Rotom while also being able to play longer games with Gliscor, Empo and Weezing. I might submit 1 more team later in another post so this one doesn't become a whole essay. Hope you like it. Paste

why do you always mention me as an example

If ur the type of guy who likes playing games with rocks up on your field thats on you, Serp being around making people think twice about defogging with Rotom to give Serp an evasion boost is a thing you believing or not. Also your "ban ghost" example doesn't reflect what i tried to say at all, Serp has the same defog rotom interaction in SM OU for example but Serp is not nearly as destructive and punitive there as it is in mmo

I never said it was because of Defog lol, just read my post above, im quoting his argument

And then what? Accept that you won`t be able to Defog safely for the simple reason of Serp existing on the other side and let rocks on your field for the whole game?

Aight I wasn't planning on post here anytime soon but the insatisfied on me is screaming louder than myself. Serp is arguably the most restraining mon in the tier for me and I haven't seen people point this out too often but what makes it broken is not only its own presence but having to prep for both it and Conk. What I mean by that is, unless you take a flying slot like Togekiss or Mandibuzz + a bulky ghost slot like Jelly or Cofa you are pretty much always locked into using Weezing or Golbat to defensively check this combo which is also not flawless, I don't even consider Crobat as a good measure to this cuz the bulk difference between it and Golbat is honestly pretty considerable and Serp can nullify the one advantage it has compared to Golbat via Glare, its speed. Serp itself is a problem and very, VERY annoying to prep against but when you take into account it + Conk and even Chomp things get too overwhelming. Talking about Serp as a standalone, it doesn't really change as my point of view of it being broken, nothing checks it consistently well, Golbat is very annoyed by rocks but it is imo the best Serp check in the tier, Weezing has to go for Bold 99% of the time since its usually also the Conk check for the team its in and imo Weezing is just passive and only works on balance on top of it relying on Pain Split to heal while it takes ~30% if Bold. Chansey + Weav is alright but also not close from consistent since +6 Leaf Storm starts doing around ~60% to Chansey and Chansey itself is owned by Leech Seed sets while Weavile really has to think twice as to whether it clicks Spear or Pursuit (btw I've idealized Protect Serp for this reason too on top of scouting any Scarfer's intention since Serp is so fast), Clef is outright bad imo on top of only fitting stall and Volcarona is not consistent at all as a check with how common Glare is on top of having to make sure rocks is always off. Ah and I didn't even mention how free it is to hard Serp on the most popular defogger in the tier which makes an awkward mon to check even more awkward. Building in OU has gone so unilateral (and boring) that I just started building shit to lure Serp, but that's about it. I would def support a ban or ability restriction.

dunno if i gotta post here too but won vs my opp's sub gg
