Also, once we boost Cloyster, he'll also be a great Rampardose counter, fearing only Head Smash.
Does this make Delibird a good Rampardos counter too? He's got that awesome Ice Shard.

Rampardos' 252 Attack EV Stone Edge vs Max HP/ Defense Cloyster:

429 Atk vs 504 Def & 304 HP (100 Base Power): 186 - 218 (61.18% - 71.71%)


That's not even considering Life Orb, Stealth Rock, Sand Stream, or any previous damage from coming into either rampardos or another pokemon.

Rampardos is always faster than defensive cloyster. Unless you go like max HP/ defense with waterfall and choice scarf, but meh.

429 Atk vs 504 Def & 304 HP (100 Base Power): 236 - 282 (77.63% - 92.76%)


That's just Life Orb.

429 Atk vs 504 Def & 304 HP (150 Base Power): 356 - 422 (117.11% - 138.82%)

Head Smash with Life Orb. Always a OHKO.

429 Atk vs 504 Def & 304 HP (150 Base Power): 276 - 326 (90.79% - 107.24%)

Head Smash max attack jolly nature: still a 41% chance to OHKO.

Forretress is ***** by Hydro Pump.

Max / max defense Celebi can take 2 Bites.

Gyarados can get away with Intimidate, though.

Sharpedo@Life Orb
Naive/Technician
252 Atk/112 SAtk/144 Spe
- Fake Out
- Aqua Jet
- Ice Shard/Bite
- HP Electric (60)

252 Attack to keep all your priority in tip-top shape (although the lack of Adamant is a little saddening...but still), 144 Speed to outspeed Jolly Gyarados, and 112 Special Attack lets you 2HKO Specially Defensive Skarm, Empoleon, Gyarados (OHKO), and Poliwrath. The only ones that live (that the move is meant to hit) are Vaporeon and Crocune, which I believe are also 2HKO'd with SR up.

I might actually use this set. Originally I was using EQ so the rare Empoleon didn't set up on it (I NEED Ice Shard for the team it's on...so I had to drop Bite), but EQ was never getting used. And I was worried about Gyara with the old set too. This covers both, and is kinda scary. Could be fun.

Rockem and I discussed this earlier.

Quagsire @ Leftovers
Water Absorb / Impish
252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
~ Curse
~ Recover
~ Ice Punch
~ Earthquake

This doesn't do a bad job. Quagsire is immune to STAB Water-types and any Electric-type advances like the one mentioned above. The problem then becomes how to deal with Bite, and outlasting Sharpedo with Curse+Recover.

Quagsire gets counter, if that set doesn't get 2HKO'd by bite, you can counter that ****.

I would love to be able to use Quagsire in OU <3

poliwrath also could counter rampardos

which is 2 pokemon
he also does a good job against empoleon and infernapes not using grass knot

so poliwrath could be pretty good in our metagame

for the record, infernape is the only pokemon with a usable priority fighting move that is faster than sharpedo

how would jirachi fair against sharpedo?

Not going to calc but I'm extremely sure it would need to switch into a Fire Punch to avoid being 2HKO'd.

I'm bumping this to clarify the difference between this thread and the PCT Tiering thread. We discuss everything about the metagame here, including suspects, and etc. The other thread is for determining tiers and usage roles related moreso to the server. That will also encompass some suspect discussion but more of it should go in here, where we'd deal with / vote on such matters before the changes are made in the Tiering thread.

Jumpluff isn't actually that much better. He's just seeing a ton more usage because (DRUMROLL PLEASE) we improved him a little.

He's a Breloom who can't take nor deal a hit, but can get his Spore off easier. A great deal of sweepers have 115 speed an outspeed Jumpluff. Then when you consider the many choice scarfed pokemon and the pokemon carrying Priority attacks, I don't think Jumpluff is that much of a problem at all. Its simply the best status pokemon. This is why I want to make Altaria a beastly cleric, so that its the anti Jumpluff.

tricksporescarfpluff is retardedly good

most sleep absorbers are screwed over by being tricked a scarf (like standard machamps and brelooms)

spore stops any counters
with scarf, it outruns pretty much everything
u-turn is an amazing scouting move, so countering the thing is almost impossible anyways, since it outruns everything anyways
and lastly, it learns leech seed, which is awesome team support

in general, trickscarfsporepluff is probably the best set it can run as it can singlehandedly ruin an opponents team in 2 turns

So can Breloom if you don't play against it right. The two are equal in effectivness, neither are OU. If its running Choice Scarf, then after it spores it must switch. After two switches, Jumpluff is now at 50 percent health. Once you trick, it has nothing else it can do. You could literally switch in your sleeping pokemon and it couldn't do much of anything.

Secondly, once we buff Pokemon with Vital Spirit and Insomnia, sleep will no longer be an issue.

breloom doesn't outrun everything with choice scarf
nor does it learn trick NOR u-turn
jumpluff with this set also anti-leads, only SR leads carrying lum berries will be able to get them up

like, she seriously stops everything

Why the **** are you running u-turn? Are you stupid or something? What good is U-turn doing on this pokemon? U-turn allows a pokemon to hit his opponent hard and not sacrificing his turn. Jumpluff can't hit hard at all.
She doesn't stop everything, she only puts somethings to sleep, and can piss you off with Trick. Both of these methods are counterable. Both of these can be dealt with if yuo know they are coming, and you will. On the choice scarf set, Trick will always come first.
You know what Breloom can do that Jumpluff can't? Kill something and take a hit. Thanks to its typing, Toxic Heal, and its frequently present Substitute, Breloom can deal fairly well. Another thing Breloom has over Jumpluff is versatilty. In OU, Jumpluff can only do one thing, spore, trick, and leech seed. Jumpluff has no uses outside of this. Breloom on the other hand can run without a sub and run as an attacker. Jumpluff is even more predictable than Breloom, which is an acheivment in its own. Jumpluff is annoying. Its by no means Uber, though its now a potent Uber choice for a Groudon team.

That set looks terrible on paper, you can't even express how bad it looks on paper.

In practice, that thing is god**** amazing.

So we have concluded on how no suspect from this stage has been too powerful? Or something like that. I'm not exactly sure how I was going to say that.

I vote Nothing to Ubers.
I'd also like to propose that anyone who wants Jumpluff sent to Ubers simply vote to have Spore and Trick made to where they can't be placed on the same set.
I also vote that we adopt Arti's new Ampharos and test it in the next batch.
I also vote that Fearrow, Typh, and Lanturn all be voted into the Unfinished category to be left for adjustments later when we see fit.

Articanus' Ampharos submission can be discussed in the NU to OU thread.

Later edits to those "undiscovered" Pokemon will be made. Just not now. Possibly at the end of 1-3.
