I feel like these formulas are asking "What two move types will get me the maximum number of 4x effective hits" rather than "what two move types will get me the best neutral coverage". If you favor getting 4x effective hits rather than the concept of "trying to get the best two moves that will...

For Ferrothorn? +1 252+ Atk Salac Berry Gyarados Natural Gift (100 BP Fighting) vs. 252 HP / 88+ Def Ferrothorn: 234-276 (66.4 - 78.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery OK, I guess, but you'd have to hit him on the switch in, you can only use it once, and if you switch in on Knock...

Can you elaborate on this? Counter doesn't work when Ferrothorn can't attack you if its locked into SR, and Wobbuffet can't hurt Ferro otherwise, so once you switch out your Wobbuffet for something useful, he switches out too...not sure what this accomplishes. I'd think Gothitelle would be...

Intimidate and Moxie are opposites. Intimidate helps with getting the initial dd by forcing switches, but Moxie makes it less likely that the opponent will be able to stop your already in progress sweep bar machpunches, prankster status, and talonflame. Prankster burn is still super annoying...

That's because greninja is the only viable user of STAB Dark Pulse in OU, though there is stuff like Gengar and Thundurus that can use it as a decent coverage move. However, I don't think there will be a huge increase in the viability of the dark-weak base 110s because there's still tons of...

1) Prediction goes both ways. Neither you nor your opponent can predict perfectly so it is not reasonable to assume your opponent will get all predictions correct. You could say this about pretty much any mixed sweeper with a wide movepool. 2) Who says I'm going to try to attack your greninja...

The fact that greninja usually carries life orb is not a valid argument against it, Lots of pokemon carry life orbs. Perfect coverage is not a good argument either. As just one example, anything that learns a fighting, dark, and normal or steel move has perfect coverage. The increased...

For those who say that if I bring in a check Aegislash will just switch out, that's not taking into account momentum. HO does a lot of volt-turning, bringing in stuff to threaten/bluff certain sets/moves, and double switches in order to gain momentum for free turns to setup. If you switch out...

With commonly used sets, any reasonably strong even neutral attack will do serious damage to it even in shield forme, remember this thing only has 60 base HP. You can pretty much bring in any special sweeper(Thundurus, Greninja, Rotom-W, Volcarona, Keldeo, etc) and spam special moves until it...

Has Tricking a scarf followed by Psych Up been mentioned? That way you can at least stop one from boosting and then BPing out(though he would still be open to being a final recipient).

Wow, Scizor with Bullet Punch, Superpower, and Night Slash/Knock Off gets perfect coverage. You could predict a switch to offensive noninvested Magnezone and Knock Off his scarf, and then proceed to KO with Superpower XD
