Well... It is a new suspect, but i'll keep my eyes open for other options
I would say that Landorus in this gen is at its worst state, losing Knock-Off, Toxic and even Defog, while Gliscor is basically the new Landorus-T, with also the sets it can run, then it also struggles against Waterpon and other common threats as Manaphy, while I don't think I have to say why BM is broken, since everyone explained it
Yeah no, it's broken af, but i'll keep Lando-T near just in case
did you miss the first part where the hamurott gets hit with volt switch and knocked down to sash, so it dies to the helmet recoil in the same turn? it gets one layer of spikes up, maximum
Hamurott == good
right?
right?
Hamurott is pretty good but I think it often gets slotted onto the wrong teams. Spikes setter with offensive presence as a niche I think often is better filled by SD gliscor, though not always.
What about SD glisgor + hamu
Idk I haven’t tried anything like that.
... It's in my OU team, It's one of my posts
aka my only post
aka my only post
why do people use alomolola?
Adaptability knock + band/SD boost pretty much vaporizes most things. If it wasn't so easy to revenge kill it'd be broken for reasons similar to Lando-I
Isn't Lando-I bad? Cause of all the Knock-Out, Demog, all that stuff, also what's the diffence between Lando-T and Lando-I
Adaptability, of course! So don't even bother trying to tank it with anything but the most powerful of walls, and by that I mean Dondozo. Just kill it.
I'm a masochist, duh.
Masochist huh, makes sense
If anyone has the time could they check my team in my profile?
Honestly, slow passing Wishturn is a thing of beauty, but there are so many Grass/Electricity flying around it's tough to do its job.
Scald is scary, but I need more consistency.
i don't have time to do a full post about it but essentially
All-attacks chansey is bad
AV lando is bad
Using lando and gliscor on the same team is redundant
Mixed hamurott is bad, also use sacred sword instead of brick break as the only screen setters you'll be facing you lose to anyway
You need some sort of speed control or else you just lose to valiant
Use SD on Waterpon instead of u-turn and replaced wood hammer with horn leech, also use jolly nature, no idea why you're hasty with only physical attacks
Use almomomola for instead of chansey and tusk instead of landorus
This one good? Also zapdos for speed control?

This is not a good use of this thread but also... Body Press with full Attack investment? Fire Fang??
I'm not the best when it comes into team making
I mean it just doesnt for some reason
I guess the reason is that its "self-inflicted" but still
We just gotta live with the truth that this world sucks
A pokemon that I've felt has done well against gliscor is glowking with ice beam. Mine only has max hp investment and 4 special attack evs and is able to ko gliscor, plus it takes 80% from earthquake in return. Just a little info I thought I'd share.
Edit: If the gliscor is anything more than only max hp, i.e. they have sp def investment, it's a guarenteed 2 hit ko. But it still does 63.2%-75.7% with max hp, max sp def and careful nature, which most won't and earthquake will do 55.3%-65.4% back.
