caioxlive13 Posted August 16, 2024 Posted August 16, 2024 There is this team, https://pokepast.es/cb1d50c761e95a92 , want to hear the opinions. Spoiler Some notes and considerations: Sandslash - Straight up the best lead in format, so it's pretty much inreplaceable. Misdreavus - This set allows me to basically shut down most Sandslashs. Taunt also make the life of tanks pretty hard. No need for speed since most Sandslashs are run Adamant Full HP/Atk. Charizard and Slowking - Their sets are pretty much inspired on their NU Counterparts, Moltres and Slowbro respectively. Still open to changes. Electivire - I wanted to use an Electric but have pretty much limited choices. Don't want to run Bulk Up since an Ground easily scares the s*** out of him, especially sandslash . Scyther - Inspired on the Scizor's Acrobatics Set in Over Used. Also one of the top mons in speed in the format as well.
caioxlive13 Posted September 3, 2024 Author Posted September 3, 2024 bumping it back. Btw, i'm considering swap Electivire with an Primeape.
Missit Posted September 3, 2024 Posted September 3, 2024 I’m not too familiar with the UT format but I’d consider replacing either Charizard or Scyther for something else. Otherwise you have 2 mons with 4x weakness to Stealth rocks. This could be problematic since you also don’t have defog and only Sandslash with rapid spin for rocks removal. If the opponent denies you the spin with a ghost mon you could be in trouble fast.

razimove Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 misdreavus is also setup bait to a lot of stuff most likely, mono hex isn't gonna do much, and you might taunt but something at +1 will likely threaten your team already.

(I forgot about this thread) Untiered is far different, which mons would Misdreavus be setup fooder from? Bigger threat as setup sweepers are physical, in the likes of Sawk Bulk Up or Scyther Swords Dance. All of them fear Will o Wisp. Taunt is more to stop rocks and slow bulky mons. And like i sayed on spoiler, Sandslash is straight up the best lead in the format and Misdreavus walls it completly because it's a ghost type(Cannot spin) with Levitate(Quake cant hit) and with Will o wisp (broke it offensive capability) and taunt(Prevent rocks). There is no other decent ghost type that does that job too well. Edited October 9, 2024 by caioxlive13
