And now you can actually use Brightpowder along with Sand Viel. That's uncompetitive as fuck and should have been quickbanned ages ago. In fact there was a team rolling around that got easy wins by misshax. Thus resulting in my sig.
King's Rock (and Razor Fang) only provide a flinch chance to moves that do not naturally possess one. Of course, Cloyster or Cincinno can indeed be sickening with these items and their five-hit moves (since each hit has an individual flinch chance), but considering that Scarf Jirachi exists, they're not the biggest threats for flinch hax by a long shot.
Sitrus allows it to avoid a 2HKO such as Specs Keld's Hydro Pump and M-Gyara's unboosted crunch, allowing it to Encore the latter reliably at full health and switch into the former more aggressively. It is used on Safeguard variants to allow things like Azu and Zard to set up on moves like Wisp and T-Wave, respectively.
Higher speed makes it less reliant on Sucker Punch; Magic Bounce lets it deter hazards and take advantage of passive Pokemon like Chansey while also blocking Wisps. Dark+Fairy is jesus coverage. Decent mixed attacking potential if not SD.
Thanks! Are there any notable sets besides "fast" Custap dbond and fast Sitrus Tickle + Pursuit?
Custap D-bond and bulky both use the same spread as they both check the same things. Bulky and speedy are the only sets you should consider using on Wobb. I'm actually working on the analysis atm if you want more info on how the sets function. Take a look at the link below if you're interested:
Very good speed tier as opposed to a sub-par one so you don't have to rely on Sucker Punch, mixed attacking prowess with Fire Blast and Ice Beam, immunity to Will-O-Wisp and Thunder Wave...
Dugtrio is a good one, since it can trap and dispose of Heatran as well as Tyranitar with ease (and Pidgeot U-Turning into it can pop an Air Balloon). Excadrill or Starmie can provide hazard control while also packing a fairly solid punch.
Never Heard about a stallbreaker set, how do it works?
Basically, you can set up on defensive pokemon with Work Up/refresh to allow it to break stall similarly to CM 'mons. It functions v.s. offense by U-turning and dealing heavy damage with Hurricane.
Actually garchomp has one of the best defensive types in the game, thats why TankChomp is so popular.
aside from the above, av torn, defensive starmie, av raikou, stall breaker talonflame
Maybe is aimed to kill things that take V-Create and Bolt Strike, but is mediocre IMO.
The most common set for Victini is the Choice Band (at least shown by the latest 1825 stats,) so most people expect it to be that. If you're the lure set, you can take advantage of that fact and surprise the usual checks/counters/ switch-ins for the band set, like Hippowdon, TankChomp, and other fat Dragons. The lure set is fine, but I find slightly underwhelming imo.
It's not perfect (like every team) but I hope it works for you, like for me. This team is like every Mega Charizard Y + Sand team ever made except for the Serperior set. Its purpose is luring in Flying-types, so the pressure is lifted off TTar and Excadrill, the former not having recovery and the latter only having decent bulk.
Dark Pulse's advantages: higher PP, no Def drop, and you might be able to pick up a flinch or two. Plus the power differential isn't that large (100 BP off 160 Atk vs. 80 BP off 170 SpA), and you can boost on the special side as well.
