Zymogen Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Yes you can - in OU you can use anything that isn't in the Ubers tab of the Pokedex. You'll find an overview of every tier in there Edited January 2, 2021 by Zymogen DoubleJ 1 Link to comment
Zigh Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 You can, but I advice you to use guts conkeldurr instead of sheer force. You want those secondary effects DoubleJ 1 Link to comment

Missing a move on this mon is pretty much a death sentence. I'd also sacrifice some fire power for longevity by adding safeguard so you dont get toxic'd by blissey/chansey which are common switch ins. But safeguard is a more niche set so yeah its up to you. 39 minutes ago, Pureflamme said: Conkeldurr @ Life Orb Ability: Sheer Force EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Adamant Nature - Drain Punch - Thunder Punch - Ice Punch - Mach Punch I'd personally just go for the guts set because of how broken it is. 42 minutes ago, Pureflamme said: Salamence @ Life Orb Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Dragon Dance - Dragon Claw - Fire Fang - Brick Break EQ is much better than brick break imo.

Pureflamme Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Thank you very much for all those answers, i will apply your tips about the move sets etc... I still have some questions : 1) Is Dogtrio + arena trap allowed in competitive and tournaments ? 2) What do you think of my team ? Is it viable ? Again, thank you very much guys !!

Just bear in mind that here in PokeMMO its attack has been nerfed down to 80 (from 100). 2) It seems ok at first sight. As a general rule, it will be ok if you can: a) have game vs Rain teams. b) have some checks to stall teams (specially Toxic) c) not be dead to the most common set-up mons (Gyarados, Dragonite, Volcarona, Reuniclus) d) your team does not get obliterated by Volt Switch + U-turn strategies I'd say your team is good in b) and d), but I can see it struggling with a) and c). Just jump into some PvP matches an you'll soon see if your team has any glaring weaknesses to any particular pokemon or team. Edited January 3, 2021 by Rittz DiosSlurpuff and Lin 2 Link to comment
Rache Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Not a comment on the team as a whole, but for Salamence, you'd likely be better off with a speed boosting nature. Although its purpose may be to boost its speed with Dragon Dance, if you go with adamant, your base speed is effectively 87. -You don't speed tie with +speed natured Volcarona (100) and other Salamence (100) without a boost. -You get outsped by +speed natured Hydreigon (98), Haxorus (97), Lucario (90), Gliscor (95), Excadrill (88), Darmanitan (95), and Porygon-Z (90) without a boost. -You get outsped by +1 speed and Choice Scarf variants of the above while you're at +1. If you only look only at what you actually want the Pokemon to do, you leave yourself unable to deal with matchups that you'd otherwise have no problem with when you don't have an opportunity to set up. +Speed Salamence sits near the top of a very common range of speed stats for the tier, it's worth taking advantage of. A mixed set is also worth considering. With dragon only being resisted by steel and most steels being weaker on the special side, Fire Blast is often chosen over Fire Fang. It's more immediately powerful, while an unboosted Fire Fang does pretty pitiful damage. For reference, Fire Blast OHKOs fully defensive Skarmory after Stealth Rock while Fire Fang is a 3HKO under the same circumstances. Fire Blast also doesn't make contact, so won't cause damage from Rocky Helmet or Iron Barbs. ThinkNicer, DoubleJ and Lin 3 Link to comment
DoubleJ Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 @Rache with the knowledge. Also forego Bold on Swampert and fully commit to a nice and slow Relaxed nature to boost EQ as much as you can. Link to comment
