[DO NOT USE][ARCHIVED] SV OU Rates

[hasty dune]

Should I opt for lead Samurott then? Or should I remove it.

[spiral fable]

remove it

[ionic lotus]

If you're going for sub dd, I'd take 52 evs out of atk and put them in HP to get 404 hp

Makes subs unbreakable from blissey seismic toss

[spiral fable]

not that relevant of a calc ngl since blissey never wants to 1v1 kyurem anyways

[hasty dune]

Alright are there any set changes I should make to any of the members?

Or would they be fine the way they are

[spiral fable]

ok

[hasty dune]

Ogerpon is working as a pivot rn, but should I opt for swords dance instead?

[spiral fable]

drop gking drop hamurott

not the biggest fan of ogerpon but wtv we can make it work

make it sd, slot on atales, slot on iron moth with sub

[hasty dune]

https://pokepast.es/96c726b0dff59a1b

Okay here's the updated team

[spiral fable]

look good, not the biggest fan of wellspring or ghold but both are fine

[ionic lotus]

That's fire

[hasty dune]

Is tera blast fine on Moth?

[spiral fable]

yes

[hasty dune]

I personally feel like TB is too situational

Alrighty then

Probably just have to get used to using it more

[spiral fable]

i mean if you dont like it you can easily pick like dgleam or psyshic etc

[hasty dune]

yeah

I think it's better to get used to tera blast because I'll probably need to use it eventually

Thanks for the help! I appreciate it!

I've been away from competitive for a while, not sure how the meta's developed. Is this team any good? I lack hazard removal, which sucks a lot. I wanna keep Kyurem + Roaring Moon if possible, but if not, it's fine

[ionic lotus]

This team desperately needs some form of hazard removal. Essential for Kyurem's longevity

Honestly, Ghold may be the one out IMO since you're really hazard stacking or going for webs

You only have rocks, which is quite little to justify ghold blocking for

I'd put lead treads with booster

Also, I'd switch out Opergon for Gambit for a endgame sweeper

[tender pecan]

Ngl lead treads ain't the most consistent removal

[ionic lotus]

Tusk then?

[tender pecan]

Ye probably

Alternatively you can swap both ghold and glisc out

Lead treads with like

Cinderace

Maybe

[ionic lotus]

That works well

[umbral adder]

https://pokepast.es/050730842e085b8a

[edgy obsidian]

I'll try it out

Thanks btw :)

[edgy obsidian]

wanted help here too

[spiral fable]

Idk what’s up with all the changed evs but unless you’ve got a specific calc in mind, change them back

Besides that, ddance Pult is ass and vest Primarina doesn’t fit on hyper offense, drop both for kingambit and another sweeper, I would recommend either Dnite or Roaring Moon

[pliant raptor]

https://pokepast.es/9b4c1b82304d70ae
Wishfish>AV?
Weavile swap?
Hatterene set is OK?
Dnite could go (to a ghost type to keep hazards up?) but I use him for Espeed revenge kill/DD sweep

[plush wolf]

Mono electric

The kind of team to get sweeped by a quagsire

[lost sandal]

why no raging bolt btw

also this team is unviable

[plush wolf]

I don't wanna use legendary

it's that simple

oh and I changed stomping tantrum with seed bomb for morpeko

attempt at a lokix balance, i couldn't figure out how to fit rocks and feel weak to kyurem

[hoary trench]

https://pokepast.es/3b0adb3b30517369 raging bolt item swap? feel like some stuff swappable

[dusky kindle]

What is rillaboom doing on here exactly? None of your pokemon benefit all that much from terrain and assault vest is a pretty mid set in my opinion

[nocturne dagger]

i wanted a woger switch in and i thought grassy would help kix and crown against hazards

also i thought double priority could be cool

what should i switch it with

[dusky kindle]

Well you do already have spin for hazards

If you want more priority the best ones are of course kingambit and dragonite

Dragonite is a bad kyurem switch in but could revenge with espeed

[nocturne dagger]

oh also helps with woger yeah

[dusky kindle]

Kingambit is slightly better on kyurem but not great against ogerpon

You could also consider tinkaton for kyruem check + rocks but then you are pretty ground weak

[nocturne dagger]

i could make crown av?

[dusky kindle]

Could yeah

Future sight would be good with lokix

[nocturne dagger]

should i replace gking then cuz they’re kinda redundant

and i don’t have a darkrai switch in

at all

[dusky kindle]

Not necessarily it's good to have very sturdy special defense

You can try to pressure darkrai with lokix

Throw focus blast on crown

[nocturne dagger]

it already has it

[bitter quail]

Divine creater forgive me, I'm branching out to building a stall team. Can't seem to figure out what is missing, as it feels clunky to me. Any advice is appreciated https://pokepast.es/b110d3b2966b9942

New [Gen 9] OU RMT @ruby crest, @green citrus, @dusky kindle, @weak vortex. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.

[ionic lotus]

Not a fan of cb pult

Also you lack speed control

Well other than pult

3 attack moves on corv is odd. I'd take our Brave Bird for Iron Defense

[spiral fable]

solid team but a few issues

A: unfortunately clod isn't as good as it ocne was, and spdef pex is better + you need a regen mon + better mu into sub and kyurem

B: sticky barb clef is better to absolutely shit on rmoon, especially taunt rmoon

if you're runnign sinistcha it sohuld be the defensive set with foul play instead of calm mind

other than that, surprisinlgy really solid stall team (maybe a different tera for gliscor), have fun terroririzing ladder

[tender pecan]

Stall claims another victim/s

[ionic lotus]

Right on, thanks for the advice. I made the changes. Is tera fairy good for Gliscor?

[spiral fable]

yeah

really any defensive tera lol

[ionic lotus]

Nah man lol, suck at beating stall. Learning to play it to be better against it. necessary evil of getting better

[ionic lotus]

Was thinking Water, but clef already tera water

Are my other teras solid?

[spiral fable]

shoudl be, but feel free to tweak if you find yourself struggling with certain mnus

*mus

[ionic lotus]

Will do! thanks again

Now to start cooking a stall breaking team

[tender pecan]

I've gotten much better at beating stall especially this Gen but I also suck at playing stall

It's lowkey rewarding and fun to play if you have time

It just turns it into one big resource management game which is cool

[dapper imp]

Identify your wincons and don’t just mindlessly switch mons

That’s how I play stal

Stall

When I do

[lost sandal]

i feel the other sinistcha set is better on stall?

gliscor tera

whats the mixed kyurem switch in btw?

probably will have to pop tera clod i think

[lost sandal]

genuinely just use kyurem to beat stall, specifically the mixed set lol

garg as well

ursaluna is a great breaker too, hard to fit onto normal teams tho

heatran traps used to be insane to beat stall, but heatran doesnt have much viability in this meta

[ionic lotus]

Have mixed kyurem as the star piece on my upcoming stall Breaker team, with av hoopa-u

Is pecharunt a good stall breaker?

[ionic lotus]

Oh yeah, Luna is good

[ionic lotus]

I already made the changes

Made it Max Def with foul play

[ionic lotus]

There is none, basically get gg'd

[ionic lotus]

Considering this is my first gen of competitive mons since gen 6, I've only improved lol

[ionic lotus]

I will never not feel disgusting playing it.

[lost sandal]

ive gotten better at playing stall but not beating it

[ionic lotus]

The wins will only make it dirtier

[ionic lotus]

My bulky hazard stack team is the best at beating it

[ionic lotus]

I'm too impatient for that. I find bully balance( hazard stack) has been the furthest I can go defensive

[umbral herald]

https://pokepast.es/47af234c10f196ef first team any advice?

ik im weak to ice so i was thinking switch iron treads tera to steel and ursalunas to ghost

need some help incorporating hazards too

[lost sandal]

its not great in sv

in previous gens, stall was better

[lost sandal]

https://pokepast.es/7ea06384e2d21a65
lmk :3
mandibuzz is crazy tech, but i felt i lost to dark/ghost types pretty much. specifically pult and dengo, and i needed a fogger soooo

[bitter quail]

Hmm what about webs? what is a speed control?

[fiery sapphire]

Hmmm wanted to try g slowking balance. https://pokepast.es/2b7e32a3d15a1ee4

[viral sable]

New [Gen 9] OU RMT @ruby crest, @green citrus, @dusky kindle, @weak vortex. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.

[ionic lotus]

Yeah, gen 6 with Mega Venusaur and mega
Sableye

[lost sandal]

gen 7 and 8 with shed

[ionic lotus]

I'd switch bolt to kyurem. Good to take advantage of slowkings slow pivots and snow defense boost

[ionic lotus]

Your sets are iffy. Rilla should have cb for full power. Cinderace should be boots

[lost sandal]

changed to https://pokepast.es/72060b78d4938164 to help mandi outspeed base 60s

[ionic lotus]

I'd make prim av

[fiery sapphire]

Anything else or is that it? And which set of kyurem cuz like all the dragons it runs like 5 different sets

[lost sandal]

why use skarmory

any reason

[fiery sapphire]

Also without bolt isn't speed an issue?

[lost sandal]

u have pult

[fiery sapphire]

Dual hazards plus it's typing protects glowking on the physical side pretty well.

[lost sandal]

if u wanna go down the dual hazard path

why not use hstack team

[fiery sapphire]

That's fair, I assume I'd need a gholdengo and perhaps a better spiker than skarmory? I don't really play offense or ho mostly just BO and balance.

[lost sandal]

not always dengo, just a spin blocker

[fiery sapphire]

Ah, is pult not a good one? Given it's frailty or is specs pult specifically not a good spin blocker.

[ionic lotus]

Not sure what else tbh

[ionic lotus]

Then ting lu would help you there

[ionic lotus]

Pult is good, just need to be more picky when to spin block

[ionic lotus]

Webs is decent, but for your comp, I'd just make Val Booster energy

Speed control is control your opponents fast mons with your own

[lost sandal]

on playing with this team, i dont like mandibuzz much, should i use sd gliscor instead? i want to have a fly type, while also not losing to pult/dengo

[ionic lotus]

And being able to threaten them back @bitter quail

[ionic lotus]

I think corv is decent here

Get yourself a hazard remover

[lost sandal]

moth cleans

[fiery sapphire]

https://pokepast.es/aa7699e0093e93eb might change pult back to specs

Hmmm i feel a ground immunity may be required

[ionic lotus]

That is a problem

[fiery sapphire]

And ice types will probably be a problem

[ionic lotus]

No, Boots pivot is the best set

[fiery sapphire]

Anything on ice types or is the team fine?

[lost sandal]

https://pokepast.es/f33564f658235958

thoughts?

still slightly lose to moth

[ionic lotus]

You have enough i feel to deal with them

[ionic lotus]

That's better

[fiery sapphire]

Alright then is it safe to assume it's ready for testing

[ionic lotus]

Yes, tweak as you go. If you find your team struggles with a mon, change up your teras or even a mon to counter

[lost sandal]

https://pokepast.es/cc5f06feff0f6371

[weak vortex]

I would make ting Lu great tusk. This allows you to keep rocks and spikes off for av alo to do its job more effectively.

2. I would personally drop Weavile for balloon or glasses gambit. Same idea but a bit more consistent than weave imo.

3. Slowking galarian > hat gives you more insurance vs fairies which you got owned by at first. Additionally it’s extra insurance vs stuff like raging bolt.

4. I think zama can be all out attacking here gives you a way to pressure defensive teams along with future sight.

You can run ice fang > stoned edge for gliscor (if you choose to do so)

5. I feel dragonite could run roost here.

I think those are the changes I’d suggest.

[weak vortex]

Not bad but I think you should drop sinis for a ground type probably something like lando cause you currently do not have one. (No hazards either)

Additionally I would put balloon on gambit instead.

Thirdly, ace > moltres so you have some way to deter opposing hazards.

LOL

lol

Well gl fam

[lost sandal]

ty

[lost sandal]

wanted to know smth tho

im running tera fire id zam with stone edge for the birds

that ok?

https://pokepast.es/552d9a6010143943

[weak vortex]

You could just go all out attacking

Instead of id

[lost sandal]

after using it

i dont like it much

zam feels too weak

[weak vortex]

Nah you gotta use it with future sight accordingly but I get why some don’t like it

Some been running ice fang for gliscor

[pliant raptor]

so i swapped weavile for specs iron crown, which allows me to outspeed all suicide leads except for deoxys S and 2hko garg/gliscor and break alot of SPD walls. which in turn means im not getting slammed by faires (that was happening)

I dont know if I wanna swap out Hat since its my only REAL fariry type and since Kyurem is so prevalent in meta and im not running like specs dnite i need some way to pressure it

I am open to trying the zama set tho

[weak vortex]

Keep Tera fire on gambit

[lost sandal]

ok

[weak vortex]

Also

Make ace offensive

[lost sandal]

hmmmm

ok

[weak vortex]

Bulky is serviceable but I don’t like it much personally these days

[weak vortex]

Yeah I forgot kyu is back

Sigh

Yeah crown sounds interesting

Well if you ever need anymore help I’m here

[pliant raptor]

ty

[pliant raptor]

do we think swapping a spinner for hat is the move

maybe like tidyup maushold

[weak vortex]

Something a bit more consistent

Send paste

[pliant raptor]

https://pokepast.es/095acfe22bc8fc7e

im actually thinking weezing G

cuz I wanna play something a little goofy

i actually think its good into gliscor too cuz it turns off poision heal

https://pokepast.es/aab966d707b2b2ed updated paste

[weak vortex]

Ice fang zama > edge for glisc.

Probably offensive ace with gunk > weeze

Roost dnite might be better here too

[ruby crest]

Me thinks this should be 3 attacks roar zama

[weak vortex]

Lowkey I was thinking that but wasn’t sure lmfao

[ruby crest]

Could honestly drop heavy slam since all the stuff it hits are covered by iron crow / ace

[weak vortex]

So cc edge fang roar?

[pliant raptor]

Roar feels good for bypassing sub/protect on kyu and gliscor

Or any sub/protext stall

[ruby crest]

What’s the updated team rn

[junior harness]

https://pokepast.es/efe5a5b46472c21a

I love talonflame, my favorite low tier mon frfr, now I think talon is viable on stall, am I cooking?

[pliant raptor]

https://pokepast.es/719d51f1d52f6319

[ruby crest]

Yeah drop heavy slam

[pliant raptor]

[spiral fable]

honestly, good start

not really sure what talonflame does here since you're stacking boots anyways but its the thought that counts ig

besides that, i would run pex over clod for better mus into wake + another regen mon, drop sludge bomb on amonguss for clear smog (maybe toxic for giga drain), eq over poison jab on lgiscor for the heatran mu, and maybey avalanche on dozo instead of waterfall for the tuant rmoon mu

still dont really know why talonflame but ig you dont have to run another knock absorber now

[bitter quail]

ok took in teh notes; now wondering if Iron Crown would be better for this team in GKings place?

what set would u use on iron crown

[bitter quail]

prob AV w volt switch in there

and tachydon or w.e they are called the double hit move lol

future sight in there

[pliant raptor]

why dont u like Glowking

[bitter quail]

I am not sure, I feel like he doesnt really add much or hit really hard

[pliant raptor]

its a defenisve pivot

its not supposed to hit hard

[bitter quail]

hmm

How does GKing look then

[pliant raptor]

im a big fan of Alomomola

[bitter quail]

for special D?

[pliant raptor]

however

ye

[bitter quail]

listening...however what lol

[pliant raptor]

let me do a calc

RQ

[bitter quail]

ok

alo w toxic,scald,flip turn, and wish i assume?

I use AV

ohh

what is mirror coat again?

Like I know it reflects damage but how does it work exactly

[pliant raptor]

so if u get hit by a special

it returns the damage double

[bitter quail]

oh so I would jsut need to take a special hit

[pliant raptor]

yes

and with AV

[bitter quail]

and will totally sponge more than GKing

[pliant raptor]

you can tank a thunderbolt/clap from raging bolt

[bitter quail]

ohh

then mirror coat it back?=

[pliant raptor]

yes

and its OHKO

can also tera fairy play rough

if they have like roaring moon

i play it like its wish fish

i dont show anything other than flip turn until i get a matchup I like

[bitter quail]

wish and flip turn and attack and switch?

[pliant raptor]

then i mirror coat and hope for the best

[bitter quail]

hmm interesting

[pliant raptor]

[bitter quail]

oh

Ill tyr that and report back !

[pliant raptor]

also id go boots great tusk

and rocky helmet corviknight

but thats me

thats your prefrence

[bitter quail]

Ill add them why not

lol

[pliant raptor]

you are running hazard/terrain removal on tusk

just makes more sense to be able to swtich and not take damage to clear hazards

corviknight is kinda just a preference thing

to me ur not running brave bird so u dont need leftovers

[bitter quail]

true

Ill go with ur choices

they def make sense

[spiral fable]

Just a reminder to please not give advice if you aren’t experienced in the tier

[bitter quail]

https://pokepast.es/071408274f6d1b42

I will warn that AV mola opens you up to a lot of bad mus to the likes of Kyurem and Bolt

[pliant raptor]

please enlighten me then

dont report me 2 days later tho if I hurt ur feels ok!

[spiral fable]

???

[bitter quail]

What about wish mola?

[spiral fable]

Anyways Serg I wouldn’t run Mola

[bitter quail]

Ohh

[spiral fable]

Then it lacks the special bulk to take on those threats

[bitter quail]

I had Gking in there before

[spiral fable]

And then it’s just kinda useless

I would run Gking, with maybe toxic over twave

[pliant raptor]

his issue is he doesnt like how gking feels

[spiral fable]

Ok well you kinda have to deal with it

[pliant raptor]

i know that mola gets shit on by kyu

and bolt

[bitter quail]

lol

Gking is just best in slot

[spiral fable]

Gking just has the most versatility for this team

Crown is workable but I wouldn’t recommend it

Mola is ass for this team

[bitter quail]

How would u play Gking?

[spiral fable]

Defensive pivot

[bitter quail]

FS,S bomb, chilly, toxic

[spiral fable]

Switch in, either toxic or chilly out

[bitter quail]

switch in wot

[spiral fable]

Future sight if you can though I would t go for it often

[spiral fable]

Special attackers lol

[pliant raptor]

u know what u did btw but the past is the past

[bitter quail]

So what are the four moves my nad

my bad*

[spiral fable]

No idea what you’re talking about but aight

[bitter quail]

oh nvm

[spiral fable]

Yes chilly future toxic sludge

[bitter quail]

I got you

Thank you!

[spiral fable]

Twave is an option but I think toxic is better for bolt and kyurem

Np

[pliant raptor]

3 days after our last interaction I was magically timed out for a few days

[bitter quail]

leftoers is best option?

[spiral fable]

Yes lefties is best

[bitter quail]

ok

[spiral fable]

M8 I’m not in charge of moderation

If you broke the server rules that’s on you

[bitter quail]

lol

[spiral fable]

O wait no

[pliant raptor]

unlucky coincidence then and you totally didnt tell anyone

[spiral fable]

Don’t run lefties oops

Run boots

You can experiment with it later since you do have double removal

But for now I would stick with boots to be safe

[spiral fable]

I’m going to be honest I do not remember you dude

[spiral fable]

Btw I would run close combat over psyshock on val

Just for that nice mixed coverage

• it does the same task of slamming spdef walls

Maybe run knock off over destiny bond but dbond cheese can work sometimes

[raw nimbus]

First time got into 1400 elo with this team, any suggestions for improvement?

https://pokepast.es/ffe6a0c4f35d82ba

[spiral fable]

why mirror coat?

[spiral fable]

run knock/taunt over mirror coat, heavy slam over iron head on zama + run the suggested ev spread for iron defense, same with iron moth, and run tera dark on gambit over tera ghost

[raw nimbus]

I use it to one shot Iron Valiant

[spiral fable]

doesnt psycho boost do the same anyways?

[raw nimbus]

No

[raw nimbus]

I ran dark tera on Gambit before it never worked out for me, I use ghost to avoid close combat

[spiral fable]

i wouldnt run dark glasses then

run like air balloon

[raw nimbus]

if ur gonna run polteageist just commit to the do or die sweep

like I prefer stored power on that set over strength sap

while yeah sap gives you more longevity stored power is just very strong

also enables you to beat unaware mons

otherwise ig a couple things

why is alo ninetales snowscape

just run blizzard

and otherwise idrt primarina or treads are doing much for you here

I'd say run kyurem to exploit snow and then something in the last slot to not get bodied by fairies

https://pokepast.es/8faf866b29197b73 So I built a stall team a couple of nights earlier. Now it is time for a stallbreakers team. Any advice would be appreciated.

ground types cook you

why go offensive heatran and use spdef set

also tran isnt very good

for hoopa teams, i like this one
https://pokepast.es/47baf7e4cc351f61

pretty decent breaking prowess

lokix cleans, hoopa breaks

lokix is good into HO too, which hoopa... not so much

pult is decent at breaking ig? it has coverage and we have fsight support

Hoopa-Unbound @ Assault Vest
Ability: Magician
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 248 HP / 44 Atk / 40 Def / 20 SpA / 156 Spe
Lonely Nature

• Knock Off
• Psychic Noise
• Drain Punch
• Thunderbolt
  this hoopa set might be worth a mention

[dapper imp]

its crazy that lokix has the same viability as heatran now

[lost sandal]

prolly better

[ionic lotus]

@lost sandal Made a couple changes, what do you think? https://pokepast.es/ceb31675ece03e6c

[ionic lotus]

It's strong as hell, nothing truly walls it except corv

[lost sandal]

silver powder is also some funny tech to bait weak mons when u first impression, then sucker and KO

[tender pecan]

heatran sucks so much dooky its sad

hey, so I've been trying to make a hazard stack balance team, but i am struggling with pivoting and dealing damage rn

https://pokepast.es/c7f089da8ccaa465

used to run meowscarada instead of weavile

and I also I'm not sure what to do with the 6th slot

rn I've got kyurem but i feel like I'm lacking offense

[lost sandal]

why did u change it

[split quest]

to get priority

[weary crypt]

Iron val kind of rolls lokix up and smokes him

[tender pecan]

Yeah lol

Quad resists both it's stabs

Tinted lens isn't saving you

[ionic lotus]

That's true

[junior harness]

I wanna make this team around it

Maybe rilla is good here for even more recovery??

Also I am using this for a tour outside of smogon

But the format is just regular SV OU

No abitrary restrictions

[lost sandal]

oh does tinted lens only work on 2x resist

tinted lens doubles the damage dealt on not very effective moves, so 4x resists will still be 2x resists accounting tinted lens.

[lost sandal]

ohhhh

ok

[junior harness]

bump

[lost sandal]

[split quest]

tried making another hazard stack team

this one feels better than the one I posted yesterday

but i feel like i struggle a lot against set up

and I'm not sure what to change

before i had whirlwind on skarm

but then kingambit can fuck over

and hatterene still fucks me up

[ashen dove]

Why not turn off your brain and rid yourself of all this thinking and just play Hyper Offence?
I plateau'd at 1300s, then i picked up HO, I'm 1500s now and only going up, and I don't feel like I've learned anything new.

[split quest]

I already did that

with HO, stall and reg bulky balance

i reached 1700 using sample teams of all 3

now I wanna make my own team

[split quest]

I changed skarm for special gliscor for raging bolt

and glowking for alomomola

[ashen dove]

I can respect that.

[orchid nacelle]

Can I steal I mean borrow your team for a while lol

[ashen dove]

Currently on this, copied it off of blimax and it's performing wonderfully.

https://pokepast.es/0a17f802b9f93499

[orchid nacelle]

I have to push to 1500 from start to prove someone that hyper offense is Brainrot

[ashen dove]

Technically not HO, but i treat it like one, and it works still

[orchid nacelle]

Why the hell is great tusk running roar

[ashen dove]

It has come up much more than I'd like, trust

I've roar'd Zama trying to idef, dozo trying to curse, gambit trying to sucker(tusk was low on health)

[orchid nacelle]

Isn't rapid spin better for tusk?

[ashen dove]

You have cinderace

And tusk has booster for speed

[orchid nacelle]

Yea but there's situations where I might give opps the veil up

Maybe I'm just dunb

Thanks for the team

[ashen dove]

Don't make examples out of exceptions, it'll only ruin things, something i learned irl

[ashen dove]

[clear sentinel]

any glaring weaknesses with this team? https://pokepast.es/23bfe5a81675df00

[mossy hedge]

Is this like doubles?

cuz i need someone to rate my team

nvm

[dull plume]

This is singles

[clear sentinel]

When testing my team i found it hard to deal with heatran despite having both kyurem with earth power and gear tusk

How do i deal with that

[bitter trout]

i am

are there any major issues with my rain team?

[viral sable]

New [Gen 9] OU RMT @ruby crest, @green citrus, @dusky kindle, @weak vortex. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.

[spiral fable]

some of these set dont relaly work + zapdos and drednaw aren't relaly good on rain

zapdos just doesn't have the power nor speed to keep up as an offensive threat, especally on rain when you have the much much better option in raging bolt

drednaw is just ass in ou

skewda is great but you really dont want to run life orb since you want to avoid as much chip as possible + banded is better anywyas since banded liquidation 2hkos most non-phys def resists anyways, though if you want to run versatility you can do mystical water instead (though i don't recommend it)

[outer raven]

125 spa modest with full ivs and evs with stab and 110 power moves isnt powerful? i thought it was pretty good

[spiral fable]

unfortunately, no

mostly because bolt is literlaly better zapdos

sure you dont have the longevity but you have way stronger offensive potential + better options to deal with threats that outspeed you

as for your last mon, i would recommend something that checks waterpon like mixed dnite with hurricane or overqwil, though if you're confident in your ability to handle waterpon you can throw on another sweeper like greninja or even thundurus

[outer raven]

i think ill go with overqwil. thundurus isnt bad but i dont rly like playing him

thank you very much

[brisk cedar]

last?
