| 1 | Hey guys, | |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | Let's talk about my normal team for this week's challenge core. | |
| 4 | The core was Staraptor/Heliolisk. | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | So, starting off with my Staraptor. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | In a Normal team, naturally, Staraptor's set should be the bulky set, to counter most of the physical sweepers and fogging away. | |
| 9 | A classic set, not much to say about it. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | Secondly, Heliolisk. | |
| 12 | As you can already guess, a special sweeper is coming through! | |
| 13 | With its great movepool, I played it to counter Water, Flying and Ground teams mainly. | |
| 14 | Surf/Grass Knot is enough to take on Ground teams. With Volt Switch, an awesome Electric stab w/ momentum, took care of Waters. | |
| 15 | But i've decided too to complete this core with Diggersby. | |
| 16 | Heliolisk with its ability (water immunity), a great thing for that can cover for diggersby. | |
| 17 | Mach Punches and such, are tanked by the Bulky Raptor. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | So, let's talk about Diggersby now! | |
| 20 | - | Diggersby set isn't the scarf as i use in my other normal team but the band. |
| 20 | + | Diggersby's set isn't the scarf set that I use in my other Normal team but the banded set. |
| 21 | - | The most powerfull, the great bunny (M-Loplayboy can go home)! |
| 21 | + | The most powerful bunny! (M-Loplayboy can go home)! |
| 22 | - | EQ/Frustration are normal on him, next i've put Knock off on him to get Knock off on my team and to kill some psychic mons and ghost too. |
| 22 | + | EQ/Frustration are standart on it. |
| 23 | - | Quick Attack is there to have at least one priority stabbed move (Diggersby Quick attack is really a threat! |
| 23 | + | next I've put Knock off to take care of Psychic & Ghost Mons. |
| 24 | - | Some calculs: |
| 24 | + | Quick Attack is also in this set to have at least one STAB priority (Diggersby Quick attack is really a threat!) |
| 25 | Here are a few calcs: | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Diggersby Quick Attack vs. 16 HP / 0 Def Mega Medicham: 145-172 (54.7 - 64.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO | |
| 28 | 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Diggersby Quick Attack vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Thundurus: 169-201 (56.5 - 67.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery | |
| 29 | 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Diggersby Quick Attack vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Charizard Y: 156-184 (52.5 - 61.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO | |
| 30 | 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Diggersby Quick Attack vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Latios: 153-181 (51.1 - 60.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO | |
| 31 | - | As you've noticed, Diggersby Quick Attack 2HKO any sweepers, it's really a good thing! |
| 31 | + | |
| 32 | As you can see, Diggersby's Quick Attack 2HKOs any sweepers, it's really a good thing! | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | - | To complete the team, we've M-Pidgeot, why not M-Loppuny? |
| 34 | + | To complete the team, I picked M-Pidgeot. |
| 35 | - | Cause first i've already Diggerbsy like physical sweeper and secondly, i think M-Pidgeot is better to counter fighting, bug teams, bug teams who is the type the most used atm. |
| 35 | + | Why not M-Loppuny you ask? |
| 36 | - | Classic set for him too: Heat Wave/Hurricane to hurt Roost to have more staying power and U-Turn to switch safely on my 2 walls who are Porygon 2 and Chansey. |
| 36 | + | First off, I already Diggerbsy as my physical sweeper and secondly, I think M-Pidgeot is better to counter Fighting, and the currently most used type: Bug |
| 37 | Classic set for this one too: Heat Wave/Hurricane to hurt stuff, Roost for perseverance, and U-Turn to switch safely on my 2 walls who are Porygon 2 and Chansey. | |
| 38 | - | Them sets are classic too, we don't talk about it except Foul Play on Porygon who is great! |
| 38 | + | |
| 39 | - | Why? For this: |
| 39 | + | Porygon2's and Chansey's set are also the standart and classic sets. |
| 40 | Nothing to say about them except how great Foul Play on Porygon2 is! :D | |
| 41 | Why Foul Play? | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | - | (OHKO with Flare Blitz damage). |
| 43 | + | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | (OHKOs after Flare Blitz recoil). | |
