Tier Discussion


NickCrash

Recommended Posts

Since this forum is under the 'Competitive Discussion' umbrella, we ought to have a thread in which competitive battlers discuss the current state of the metagame and conduct healthy discussion (no matter how heated) about certain pokemon's skills and their possible future (or past) tier shifts. Since we didn't already have a thread about this, I suppose this is a good start.

I will post below the Usage Data of various pokemon in OU, UU, RU, NU and even PU so we can discuss, speculate, debate and point out certain characteristics that prove why or how a pokemon ended up where it currently is. Note that these data are up to change (usually every 3-4 months) so when they are no longer up-to-date me or a mod should archive them in the placeholder below and replace them with what's currently being played.

As of MAY 2016

I believe that these will provide those who wish to experiment or try a new tier with an idea of what's being used a lot and what isn't. This is valuable information that's not reflected when pokemon are sorted alphabetically in their corresponding tiers, and some of you may be already filling your brains with ideas of what to use next.

EDIT: This link has all the information you might want to get started in OU or improve your teams. As of August 2016, these are usage stats, items, moves, potential teammates, checks and counters for each pokemon in the OU tier. Use this to your own advantage. http://www.smogon.com/stats/2016-07/moveset/ou-1695.txt

Excellent; we can have many a good discussion here, I think. What better way to inaugurate this than by discussing Magnezone?

Consider Magnezone. I assume we are aware of its strengths and weaknesses, and that we are all Competitive players, so I will not elucidate further.

Magnezone currently sits at a very healthy 6.796% usage on the OU spectrum. It has remained OU ever since its introduction in DPPt. This is primarily because it has a virtual monopoly on its niche of a Steel trapper.

In fact, though I dislike having to admit it, Magnezone has little reason to be used in OU today, were it not for its particular excellent niche. It is slow, has crippling weaknesses to the ever common Ground, Fire and Fighting moves, lacks recovery to utilise it's otherwise good bulk, and in general is outclassed by faster and better Electric types like Thundurus, which also boast better coverage.

However, as mentioned, it possesses the excellent ability in Magnet Pull, and has just the requisite bulk, typing and movepool to excel at trailing and eliminating most steel types. It thus greatly benefited any Pokemon (notably SD Mega Pinsir, DD Dragonite, DD Mega Altaria, and even bulky mons like Skarmory) that appreciates the removal of bulky steels, which are very prevalent in OU because steel is so godly--I mean, because steel types are quite possibly among the best defensive and offensive types by interaction in OU at the moment. However, on closer inspection, Magnezone possesses other abilities that can justify its usage around the top 30 in OU: a type combination that grants it a huge 11 resistances, including dragonspam and the fabled BoltBeam, a fairy resistance that allows it to deal with most threatening Fairy types (including Azumarill, as it has the physical bulk to take an aqua jet and retaliate with an electric move), a quad-resist to Flying, tolerance or immunity to most debilitating statuses, and a large special attack stat of 130 that must never be forgotten. Even though it is rather outclasses as an Electric type, as a steel type, it claims the niche of one of only two powerful and reliable special attackers in the tier, alongside Heatran.

The main flaw with Magnezone is that it is horrendously slow, even with a choice scarf, as it still cannot outspeed everything from Timid Starmie and above; and because of its horrible weakness to ground. (I swear, GF, give Mega Magnezone with Levitate as it should have gotten or else I will personally murderize you) ahem, anyways. Magnezone is often forced to sacrifice power for speed or vice versa, since its best sets usually require a Choice Scarf or a Choice Specs. (Air Balloon is bad trust me; you shouldn't be relying on it to dispatch Excadrill and lose both power and speed on Magnezone.)

Upon analysing (heh, pun totally intended) the history of Magnezone, we see that it's role was hugest in Gen4, whereing the lack of Team preview and the OP-ness of Explosion saw it use its deadly trap-kill-boom strategy to great effect (Julia would approve) againat a revealed steel type or a predicted Blissey. It was also able to pull off a Dual Screens set or utilize SubSalac, LO and even TWave. BW and BW2 brought it Analytic, which is useful but removes Magnezone's only niche in trapping steels, so all it did was increase the number of threats to Magnezone (although it was more useful to some extent to destroy Ferrothorn which was everywhere). Gen6 was horribly unkind to it, bringing a steel nerf that removed its resistances to Dark and Ghost and bringing a slew of Mega Pokemon that posed it too big of a threat whilst undermining its usefulness.

To sum up, the issue is that Magnezone is pigeonholed into its small niche, excellent though it is, and this niche is getting smaller with each generation. We might see a day when Magnezone drops to UU if it doesn't get a good Mega in the upcoming generations. On this note, I'd like to invite your ideas on the concept of Magnezone in UU in the current meta. I look forward to your answers.

Although the drops and bans between tiers are made acording the usage stats, I want to discuss about the place of some pokemon that have decent usage in their respective tiers. Those are Klefki, Amoonguss and Escavalier.

About Klefki I still can't understand why it has stayed in OU after the SwagPlay ban! Anytime I see a Klefki, after it sets its Screens or Spikes it is pretty much a death fodder or something to take some hits that none of its teamates wants to take. Prankster is a very strong ability combined with its movepool and its typing is really good, but I can see it working exactly the same in UU without creating any problems. I guess the not many recovery options is quite harsh for the Key pokemon in the hard hitting tier of OU. Also UU is already quite Stallish so I don't think its addition will overflow the glass.

Second we have the stupidly good mushroom pokemon! I hate this thing with all my soul but I can't deny that is a good pokemon. From the quite few matches I have done in RU, I used this in combo with Alomomola for a strong defensive core! And it works very well even if you make a few missplays. I'd say Amoonguss should be banned from RU for the only reason that Tangrowth can still work as a good Regenarator core with Alomomola and we'll see less stall in the tier since the fungus has so many recovery options and can drag a match for many turns.

Last but not least is one of my favorite, the knight based pokemon, Escavalier. My only problem about Escavalier is that it shares the same tier with another bug/steel pokemon, Durant. Although Durant doesn't provide the same bulk as Escavalier, it outclasses it as a set up user and as a better wallbreaker with its ability! I'd say either drop Esca from RU or ban Durant into BL2 so it can have more usage.

PS: sorry if my post make the paragraphs connected, my phone does not synergize well...

jsyk, Durant was already banned from RU early this month.

Other recent bans after the February statistics are:

- Hoopa-U from OU

- Mega Abomasnow and Sharpedo from RU

- Sawk and Sceptile from NU

And there's the Pokemon that actually shifted tiers from the data in these updates.

EDIT: There's actually some usage data for April: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/smogon-usage-based-tier-update-february-2016.3563807/page-8

That's wonderful! I haven't touched RU since early March and from the recent suspect test I heard only about Hoopa-U ban. Now I'm probably going to return to RU for a while for the sake of my beloved Escavalier ^.^

As you can see from the data Amoonguss almost made it to OU this time. I definitely needed more usage, but having borderline failed shows its potential. Most probably, come mid-June and another evaluation, the fungus pokemon enters the realm of OU and stays there as more rookie trainers will try to use it. So there is no reason to ban it to UU or a BL tier, as it seems to be rising on it's own.

On the completely opposite train seems to be Sylveon, the only eeveelution that still is OU. With Sylveon's role as a cleric or a choice specs pixilate fairy nuke, it fits in fewer teams than before, with Clefable taking the leading Fairy role. I think it's odd that so few people use Sylveon, since it blocks Special Attackers much better than other fairies.

Conkeldurr has a way to go but there are not enough fighting type pokemon in OU as it stands right now, and it's definitely more bulky than Breloom and Keldeo. It can utilize three marvelous abilities in Guts, Sheer Force and Iron Fist, but people still rarely use it. Chances are it drops and rises again the immediately next turn.

Bro, use the March stats please :P Anyway.

Conk's toast in OU and it's actually very, very, very bad. It is very easy to wear down even with the Vest, and absorbing status wears it down further. Its speed tier is so bad it gets outsped by most defensive threats that can hit some pick off a weakened Conk. Its Mach Punch is weaker than Sash Loom's, it can't get the free turns of Spore that Loom gets, it loses a ton of health even with Ice Punch when TankChomp or Helmet Lando come in. Defensively it checks dark types and Hoopa hurt it a lot on that. Also in contrast to Loom and Keldeo it can't handle Hippo if the opponent uses Sand Offense and the lack of a secondary stab hurts. And of course it's nothing like the mixed wallbreaker that is Specs Keldeo.

Sylveon gets worn down much easier than MG Clef, can't CM-sweep like Clef because it lacks all of: a) T-Wave to cripple opponents, heal before they hit again and make them lose turns, B) reliable recovery like the one-click Softboiled, c) a decent way to deal with status (requires a moveslot) or d) secondary coverage to hit its checks (Clef has Flamethrower/Fireblast). And it's not the great sweep stopper that is Unaware Clef either. Specs Hyper Voice is neat, but Sylvi has nothing over, say, Mega Gardevoir other than Baton Pass for momentum plays. Pretty middle-of-the-road.

They would be cool, and really good, in UU. But in OU, they are both outclassed and don't really have much of an impact.

I'd personally love to see some of the great walls that are the Regen monsters (Alomomo, Tangrowth, Amoonguss) rise up to OU just enough. It would significantly lessen the gum-up that are some lower tiers, leave pif-stall in UU and stall cores in RU significantly weaker. Make OU a little more about stall, save the lower tiers, fair trade.

I also hope that UU tests Mega Gyara to get into the tier. Usage-wise it's already BL.

why not the April stats? Or just wait a few days and get the next big round of drops and rises?

Edit:

(I swear, GF, give Mega Magnezone with Levitate as it should have gotten or else I will personally murderize you) ahem, anyways.

You've already acknowledged that the reason Magnezone is in OU is Magnet Pull. A M-Magnezone with Levitate would just get shunted into the same category as M-Garchomp and M-Tyranitar imo.

On this note, I'd like to invite your ideas on the concept of Magnezone in UU in the current meta. I look forward to your answers.

Magnezone was in UU for some of XY. It got banned to BL because it paved the way for set up sweepers too easily. With Salamence, Gyarados, Haxorus, and Crawdaunt all present in UU, Magnezone would be banned again. That's all irrelevant though as it already has been banned, so if it no longer had the usage for OU it would just go back to BL. That's the way it works.

Now I'm probably going to return to RU for a while for the sake of my beloved Escavalier ^.^

Unfortunately so long as M-Steelix Alomomola cores remains prevalent in RU Escavalier won't get far. I wish it was otherwise.

I also hope that UU tests Mega Gyara to get into the tier. Usage-wise it's already BL.

M-Gyarados was in ORAS UU when Gyarados initially dropped. It got quick banned to BL in an instant because it broke the tier.

True enough. Hypothetically though, what happened to Crawdaunt could come to pass again, but in all honesty I just wanted to entertain an idea for the future generation,when UU might turn out to be different.

And as for Levitate M-Magnezone, I disagree in that it will be shunted into the less-useful-than-base-form category. Of course, it's idle speculation, but I do believe that if it were to obtain a Mega with Levitate and a speed boost comparable to Metagross's, it could function very ably as a fast, special wallbreaker, Fairy killer and VSwitch pivot with one of the best type combinations in the game, which would include a ground immunity.

And as for its steel-trapping role, I can say that most of the things it usually traps are slow and cannot do much back to it. Theoretically, Magnezone could trap the steel type in its base form, proceed to Mega Evolve, gain more power and speed and just eliminate the steel type then and there. The steel type cannot switch outon the turn Magnezone Mega Evolves, thus granting Magnezone a smooth and relatively free turn to go Mega while still doing its base form job. Of course, it'd need team support, and careful planning, but I wouldn't write it off just yet.

Anyways, this falls into the scope of theorymonning. We may as well continue to discuss what exists currently without having to speculate about future ifs and buts.

It is true that Clafable has steal all the spotlight from other fairies in OU and Sylveon's usage will keep droping. But I completely disagree with its drop in UU cause then Flogress will be outclassed in every role, meaning it will have no place in UU.

I have used both Sylveon and Flogress in their respective tiers (although I don't like and play UU that much) and there is no reason to use Flogress over Sylveon. Sylveon is a better CM user, has bulkier Wishes and can Baton Pass them, it tanks almost the same damage from both physical and special attacks due to higher hp, it deals way more damage thanks to Pixilate and can hit opponents through subs due to Hyper Voice! The only thing Flogress has is instant recovery in the form of Synthesis and some more Grass moves for attacking options.

In conclusion, if Sylveon drop to UU it may become the new Clefable down there making other fairies drop in usage even though their current position is pretty solid.

I'm not sure if a Pokemon dropping is decided upon how it affects other Pokemon there. It simply drops if it falls below a certain percentage in usage, as far as I recall.

So, in short, if Sylveon drops to UU (which is what is inevitable sooner or later), it'll be decided based on how Sylveon is undeserving in OU (being outclassed as a cleric and CM user by Clefable and as a Pixilate Screamer by Mega Gardevoir and Altaria) and not based on whether or not it'll mess up Florges (which can always again drop to RU, and ad infinitum). If UU doesn't like Sylveon, it can always ban it to the limbo known as BL. I doubt it though.

This is entirely true, but I don't see why it's a bad thing. Sylveon makes Florges near obsolete in UU while being only marginally better itself so it won't get banned. Then Florges potentially drops to RU, where it'd be great but probably not broken thanks to the overabundance of M-Steelix. That causes Aromatisse to drop to NU because there's no way it can compete with Florges, where it sits alongside M-Audino. What part of this is unfortunate?

Ok I found the quick-April changes, but will wait a while till I replace them with the previous ones.

I knew of the March update but couldn't find it for some reason, even though pokes had already obviously dropped.

Conk will see a higher usage in UU now, given that it's already a good bulky pokemon that can use multiple sets. It can hit much harder than Breloom, but people only use the Guts set, and that coupled with AV. Now it may probably see more usage, given how stally the tier is.

Discussing the matter of Sylveon's fall. It's not about balancing the other tiers when a pokemon drops, but this ultimately means that Florges will end up in BL2 as it will overcentralize the game in RU, meaning that every second team would be using M-Steelix (which is already at 27.7%). I personally believe Florges won't fall to RU, as it has a similar role to Sylveon without being outclassed by a big margin. It's funny how a pokemon that's the 3rd most used in UU has serious chances to drop in 2 or 3 updates from now.

Quick notes on April:

-Clefable fell in usage

-Mew, Celebi and Klefki almost managed to drop

-Amoonguss almost made it

-M-Altaria and M-Alakazam may find themselves in BL

-Honchkrow may not be UU next season

--Somebody used Emboar in OU

When's the last time you ever saw smogon ban a wall? They don't, they only ever suspect threats in my experience. If Florges does drop to RU I can see it staying there.

And there's a lot more than that going on this month. Big drops across the spectrum are projected for next month. Gastrodon/Aggron/Trevenant to NU, Muk to PU. If it all happens then the meta's gonna go crazy. Rock Head Aggron in NU?

WHAT? What is this sorcery? We may as well use a Watchog or an Unown in OU, then, at this rate!

I wonder if M-Altaria will really drop to BL, though. Granted, steel types (mainly M-Metagross and Heatran) and other fat stuff are everywhere, but it has such a great deal of diversity. Then again, it all just depends on how much it is used now. (And besides, it's not as if dropping to BL will make it any less useable in OU.)

I mean it does get access to three best recoil damage moves Flare Blitz, Head Smash and Wild Charge, by far it is the only Reckless mon with those moves with decent HP to back it up, with Tailwind support in OU double, i think it can do well. Emboar gets the worst of it from fans due to GameFreak poor judgement on typing and stat distribution(it could have been other cool dual typing but GF had to have given it the repetitve dual typing), i personally feel like it doesnt deserve scorns from fandom as i quite like characterization of Zhubajie the Demon Boar which design and inspiration are based upon.

For me Emboar's only problem is that it doesn't have access to STAB Reckless HJK (or just Jump Kick) or Drain Punch. It has to rely on other figting moves with drawbacks that hinder it and the lack of some recovery means that it has limited time to spam its other recoil moves.

Also you now make me feel bad cause I was planing to make a team in OU around Emboar after the Easter holidays :(

Conk's toast in OU and it's actually very, very, very bad. It is very easy to wear down even with the Vest, and absorbing status wears it down further. Its speed tier is so bad it gets outsped by most defensive threats that can hit some pick off a weakened Conk. Its Mach Punch is weaker than Sash Loom's, it can't get the free turns of Spore that Loom gets, it loses a ton of health even with Ice Punch when TankChomp or Helmet Lando come in. Defensively it checks dark types and Hoopa hurt it a lot on that. Also in contrast to Loom and Keldeo it can't handle Hippo if the opponent uses Sand Offense and the lack of a secondary stab hurts. And of course it's nothing like the mixed wallbreaker that is Specs Keldeo.

Mixed Keldeo?.....Keldeo has average attack at best...why....AND ITS WEARING SPECS HOW IS IT MIXED?

I see you've compared it to Breloom, so I'll address why I disagree with you as to it's whereabouts first by noting the areas Conk is superior to Loom:

  • Conkeldurr is a Pokemon that is notably slightly more defensive in both categories than Breloom is - and doesn't have a redundant + 5 in special attack. Assault Vest Conkeldurr is only rivaled by Toxic Heal Breloom in terms of defensive capability, and then it becomes a matter of where - as godly as Breloom's type is - Grass hinders Breloom's ability to be defensive. I feel like you either haven't used Conkeldurr enough to understand how much AV Conk can truly be difficult to deal with - or you're showing your admitted dislike for Generation V 'mons again. :)
  • Conkeldurr learns Drain Punch, which combined with the AV is a terrifying move that helps Conkeldurr recover any damage it's taken to that point, and it can really be troublesome if your prerogative is to switch out of harms way. Technician Breloom sets don't run DP, and the Pokemon has four move syndrome if you try to use it on any set due to needing Spore, Mach Punch, and a Grass STAB - and likely a coverage move.
  • Conkeldurr also has a much more reliable coverage move against flying type switch-ins with Ice Punch, where Breloom has to settle for inaccurate Rock-type moves. It also get's an equally useful utility move to Spore in Knock-Off, depending on how you like to play the game.

Next, I'll address why your arguments are...head-scratching when you come to opposing defensive Pokemon - you specifically mention Tank Garchomp and Heatran - both who like to use the Rocky Helmet:

  1. Garchomp will be able to switch into a presumptive fighting type move just fine, but a little prediction game on the Conk player's end and that Garchomp could be taking an Ice Punch instead. Nobody - not even many defensive walls - likes taking a x4 attack they are weak to. Nobody.
  2. Heatran is hard to justify switching into Conk for. If it gets hit with Drain Punch - it won't matter if the Rocky Helmet gets some recoil because the HP-drain off-sets the damage, and it will hurt Heatran in return quite a bit due to being a steel type.

Hippo is ..... super fat. That one, I'll give you.

I think you're wrong about Conkeldurr though. Breloom is literally an oranges and apples comparison. Keldeo oranges to pineapples.

By mixed he means specs with Sacred Sword, or is it Secret Sword? Whichever one hits Def rather than SpDef despite being a special attack.

The second line I left in is completely correct, comparing Breloom, Conkeldurr, and Keldeo isn't really fair as they all play different roles. It's just that Breloom and Keldeo still perform their roles well in OU, while Conk is becoming harder and harder to use. That's not to say that it can't be used, but it's just not as good as it used to be. No-one wants to be set up fodder for Phys Def CM Clefable.

If you ask me though, Clefable is a very difficult 'mon to deal with - and perhaps one of the safest 'mons with regards to staying power in OU. Clefable alone isn't exactly a sell on it being "harder to use". Where is that the case?

It's just the way the meta is evolving. If you look at the top 20 used pokemon in OU across the last couple of months 9 of them (Talonflame, Latios, Clefable, Azumarill, Tornadus-T, Starmie, Skarmory, M-Scizor, and Latias) give it significant amounts of trouble while a further 4 (Landorus-T, Garchomp, Ferrothorn, and Jirachi) can be difficult to deal with when played well. Some of the more mid usage threats like Breloom, Kyurem-B, M-Diancie, Scizor, and M-Sableye are also able to either reasonably revenge kill it or abuse/set up on it in some way. 9 games out of 10 you'll see 1, 2, or even 3 of these pokemon on a team and they're making life difficult for him. The biggest factor is his speed though, once he does kill something it's very easy for an opponent to bring in an offensive threat of their own to either revenge kill or force you to switch and take a nasty hit in the process.

Yes. Though, of course, there's nothing that prevents it from stop being used in OU. It's only poparity of usage; mons that are more uncommon, like Dragalge, Yanmega or Entei can still be played to great effect. As stated, it's just that Conkeldurr has a hard time dealing with fat Ground, Fairy, Flying and Psychic types, which litter OU.

I also agree that Mega Altaria is losing its original lustre, but I still somewhat doubt it's dropping to BL dining because people seem to forget that it isn't limited to a bulky DD set.

The DD set makes it easy in the extreme to sweep once its checks have been removed, but the metagame has adapted to it, and all the stuff it dislikes is now omnipresent. Every team carries a natural M-Altaria check/counter or two, so it being a pain is no longer a thing. Weavile is still going strong, as is sand offense with Exadrill, plus Scizor and Clefable put a cold stop to it. Also, teams have been getting fatter and fatter, with the rise of Volcanion making Balance more viable again, and Mega Altaria really does not like having to go through bulkier teams. It needs to set up to have a chance, and these bulky offense/balanced teams rarely give it the chance to do so. It's still a threat, but not what it was early on in ORAS. There's more powerful and useful DD users like Bulky Xard or Dnite, and for most anything else, Clefable outclasses it as a cleric while also not taking up a mega spot. It's just gotten old.

Bulky DD is still decent but it will struggle to sweep most of the time, and its usefulness in most battles is usually minimal aside from its ability to switch into Keldeos, Zards, Chompers, and Thundys, which Special Mega Altaria can still do decently. I like how Special Mega Altaria is able to actually do something throughout the match instead of just sit there and sponge hits; While it may not be as potent as a fully set-up DD, its ability to hit hard right off the bat with Hyper Voice is its most optimal use at the moment, and it can roast Steel-types that normally wall it with Fire Blast as well as deal with Heatran and Volcanion with EQ. It can also still afford to run Roost to increase its longevity and allowing it to pivot into attacks consistently throughout the match without missing out on valuable coverage. I personally like this set the most as of now because it takes advantage of Mega Altaria's ability to check lots of threats whilst still being able to threaten fat teams that depend heavily on shaky checks such as Jirachi, Heatran, and Ferrothorn to beat it, all of which lack reliable recovery and suffer greatly from its coverage. It works very well with Volcanion itself because it can smack bulky Water-types like Slowbro and Rotom-W very hard and checks Latios, Latias and non-CB Terrakion (though this is a bit shaky). Volcanion heavily pressures fat teams and weakens everything to the point where Mega Alt can just start spamming Hyper Voice late game and 2HKO everything.

Given that, I suspect that Altaria will continue to exist in OU, even if it isn't top tier. It will shift from the by-now-exhausted DDD set to a special/mixed one, but I don't rightly know of it'll actually end up BL. I may have to eat my words, but at least they'll be soft and cotton-candied Bird words!

So in general, which pokemon from UU do you people believe are worth using in OU? Obvious answers include Empoleon, Chestnaut, Alakazam, M-Aerodactyl, M-Sceptile, Azelf, and Mamoswine.

Do you believe pokemon like the unique Bug/Electric Galvantula could find a position in the offensive presense of OU?

Galvantula will not be of much OU use, I think, for five reasons:

1. It is rather weak, with a shallow base 97 SpAtk. Even in UU, it is outclassed offensively by Zapdos and Heliolisk.

2. It is very, very frail, and having a Rocks Weakness doesn't add to its viability. Having a unique typing is of no great use to it either.

3. It is fast enough, tyong woth Keldeo and Terrakion, but misses out on the now-crucial base 110 speed tier, and unfortunately does not have other stats high enough to make up for that, even with LO Compoundeyes Thunder being a neat gimmick.

4. Its main niche on Sticky Web is rather a poor strategy in OU, with Bisharp and Defog everywhere. Even so, Shuckle makes a more reliable user of that move, and can hopefully get up SR too.

5. The combination of all the above provide literally no reason to use Galvantula over Thundurus, Mega Manectric, Raikou, Volcarona, or even Yanmega. It will not merit much usage in OU outside of a niche gimmick, I think.

As for UU mons that are worthy of OU use, aside from the obvious ones like Gyarados, Chesnaught, Mamoswine, Alakazam, etc. that you have listed, I can say the following are pretty underrated threats:

1. Yanmega: Modest Choice Specs Tinted Lens Air Slash can 2HKO Sdef Skarmory and offensive Heatran. This is not a joke. This is power. A set with Bug Buzz/Air Slash/HP Ice/U-turn can be potent as a wallbreaker and as a scout or offensive pivot.

2. Crawdaunt: Death by Claw. This thing will brutally murderize anything that dares to switch in or commits the simple crime of being slower than it. Allowing it SD is usually also death, unless you can outspeed its priority (looking at you, skill-less Talonflame...)

3. Azelf: Suicide leads ahoy! SR, Taunt, some attacking move, BOOM. No explanation needed, HO (especially birdspam) appreciates this.

3. Mega Sharpedo: Omnomnomnomnomnom.

4. Mega Beedrill: Pair this up with Lord Magnezone and you have one of the most effective and fun-to-use VoltTurn cores in OU. Beedrill is a terror, too, especially if it has Knock Off to remove shed shells. DragMag will appreciate this as well.

Other things that I mention but can't be bothered to type about: Mega Ampharos, Infernape, Mienshao, Cobalion, Shaymin and Doublade.
