So... I just discovered this OM and wgvaiucgascussgyvasyihi it sounds so good but SO HORRIBLE AT THE SAME TIME AAAAAAAA
Magearna gets ultra customizable with Ghost/Fighting, Ice/Electric, Steel/Ghost, and anything else, and it still gets access to Shift Gear, Assault Vest, and even Heart Swap sets. It sounds... really dumb.
Imagine Hawlucha but a bit slower but stronger and with Reckless and the ability to go Bug/Fighting or something ridiculous like Fire/Fighting with Heat Wave, or even stupider with Ghost/Fighting with Ominous Wind and Close Combat.
Tapu Koko but significantly stronger, Z-Hypnosis makes it able to outspeed most non-scarfers not named Pherobroken, and Tail Glow gives it a way to break through practically all balance/stall unless a team can really resist this coverage.
Dark/Fighting, similar to Ghost/Fighting but has problems with Steels. Dark/Steel also works, but you are absolutely forced into running Smart Strike. Something special I can say about Kartana is that while I'm running Smart Strike here as a fairy answer, if you have enough answers (ex. Steel Dragon Dragonite, Steel Fire Celesteela, etc) you can just go with Synthesis over Smart Strike for a more tanky set.
Name says it all. Unless we're going to be unbanning Zekrom, I see no reason as to why this monstrosity will remain in this OM.
Standard Ghost/Fighting, but I truly enjoy Durant in every OM so I may just be biased here with my thoughts. Dark/Steel also might work with Hone Claws and Iron Head, then running Superpower and Crunch.
I don't think Pheromosa should stay at first glance, particularly as the extremely good offensive typing of Ice/Fighting compliments Pheromosa's hit and run tactic way too well, boosts the power of already strong Ice Beam, and since U-Turn doesn't need STAB it makes you just able to run something else. Poison/Fighting also could probably be run.
Grass/Fighting is an improved typing over Grass/Fairy, gives it actual physical STAB that isn't Grass, and still keeps you with a reason to have Grassy Surge. Yeah.
And a bunch of mini-theories I'm quickly coming up with.
Greninja-Ash: Grass/Ice with Grassium-Z Grass Knot
Chansey: Electric/Grass? Fighting/Electric? Grass/Fighting with Aromatherapy/Twave/Seismic Toss? Maybe also Rock with Stealth Rock?
Rotom-Wash: Fire/Water with Will-O and Hydro Pump.
Serperior: Dragon/Grass! Finally getting the typing its wanted!
Terrakion: Ground/Fighting or Ground/Rock for better STAB option?
So for other quick thoughts:
- Quickban Dragonite and Kyurem-Black. Unless you want to unban Zekrom for the latter, and for the former ban Multiscale.
- This is one of the more inventive OMs and i cant wait to try shit out for hours if this gets in.
