ah this seemingly fits OU the best - want me to give some critique? :P

Sure! I’ve not really been up date to with anything pokemon related recently tbh, so it’s probably not great

here is feedback, ill get a pokepaste with the 5 mons, so you can look into a replacement for dracovish ;)

Wow thanks for that feedback, it’s really useful. I’m a bit uneasy on the choice band on Dragapult as in my experience it’s quite risky to use, being locked in one more. What would be a good attacking Pokémon for dracovish’s place?

I fixed the things you said to, and added an attacking Scizor instead of Dracovish

a good thing about using banded pokemon is that it hits harder than normal, without the life orb tax on hp, which is really important for dragapult as it'll put it in range for banded ice shard from weavile after using one attack or from rock damage. you can pivot with uturn when needed

252+ Atk Choice Band Weavile Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Dragapult: 258-306 (81.3 - 96.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

you need a 4th move for ninetales

rest is cool, i'll get on an alt and ladder to see what happens :p

ooh, for scizor you can either run band or swords dance but not both cuz you're again locking on the fact that you'll get knocked off which doesn't often happen if you have a reliable switch out like gastrodon

i recommend this website for ev spreads and common movesets :p

I’ve been using that website as my main, it’s really good. I swapped Scizor for smogon’s Paper Plane Kartana, scarf Kartana and it’s done considerably better than my Scizor also I’m sticking with choice band on Dragapult, I see what you mean

Where’s your mudsdale? And ninjask? And obstagoon?

Weakness Policy Milotic works really well with the ability competitive, I think that could also be a reasonable mon to swap for dracovish as it uses special attack which you don‘t have a lot of and it counters Landorus-T intimidate and can usually tank a couple weak hits from regieleki meaning if you’re playing doubles and it uses electroweb you got the weakness policy and competitive boosts

My ninjask works really well as a setup, I’ll explain how he works if any of you want me to

Hmm why mudsdale? Ninjask is really fast but why obstagoon? Kartana and Gastrodon are better

Hehe my profile becoming a Pokémon training centre xD
Alright @Iridinox how does your ninjask work?

There are probably better mons that have higher base stats, but the other two have some unique effects that turn out to be really useful.

This’ll take a while, can I just make a conversation with you since there’s a character limit here?

Sure

realistically a ninjask is pretty frail and is only really good at revenge killing (even though its base stats are pants anyways), hence its usage being in pu afaik. milotic is pretty good, but a phys def gastro can counter lando t decently enough :p

Baton pass is illegal in his format anyway so It’s not as much use as it is in sw/sh
