Well it does check z-geomancy xerneas since that set doesn't carry coverage moves, but gets OHKOed by +2 Focus Blast / Hidden Power Fire. Even then, Xerneas isn't able to setup freely on Ferrothorn since Gyro Ball does a lot.Thanks for the reply and your advice! I did just check out that compendium and it is really nice. I was going to start with a sample team but it seemed like everything was either HO or super bulky and I usually like playing with something in between (idk though maybe those are just the playstyles that excel in ubers). Plus I enjoy teambuilding in general.
This actually brings me to one more question though. I saw in the compendium that ferro isn't listed as a xerneas check. can you explain why? I'd assume after a geomancy gyro ball would do a shit ton.
