you do realize that it can 1hko your venasaur if it packs any flying stab right?

Even if it isn't how is your Venasaur going to do shit to it when it packs the very common u-turn?
It doesnt learn any flying moves so that argument isnt valid. If I know its going to uturn i just synthesis to get my health back and move on. That isnt even the point though, the point is I xan 2hko it, thats all i was getting at...my rotom can okho it...cuz its a water type. It can also burn it. Ive set my evs to ensure I outspeed it if it runs the most common 252 hp 252 atk set. My sylveon can 2hko it with no investment in Sp. Atk. I have all these options to deal with it. Why dont you have any?
 
I'm liking these replays people are posting. Especially ShadowBeatz's last one. It got me loling and the music lasting a couple seconds just made it funnier.

So I've been running a mono-Destiny Bond team trying to faint all 6 of my opponents pokemon with DB. It is reallllly difficult lol.
Yeah I tried a mix of destiny bond, Explosion, assist Purugly and Ditto and I could only get a few games :(
 
Okay. Legit question. What Politoed sets are mostly viable?
Uhm, I think most just run HP and Sp. Atk or some d with Lefties and drizzle, I suppose nature would be up to you really, though I see modest a lot. Move set usually is personal preference as it has a varied mixed movepool, I see it run perish song from time to time, but Focus Blast is pretty common, along with some water move and Ice beam. Last one is kind of up to you really.
Yeah I dont play much OU but I did recently and ran a max HP and Sp. Atk drizzle politoed as well but with specs. I would lead with it and I think that most people think that most politoeds are support sets because they would leave in or switch in pokes who had no business staying in against a Modest STAB specs rain boosted hydro pump

add battle number five to this list. All fucking ice orientated.

BURNT sheer force conkeldur

Against my Chlorophyl venasaur in son. I use sludge bomb and take him down to 4 percent.

He uses ice punch (non stab, and burnt mind you) and it fucking crits. ugh.

That sounds like guts...not sheer force.
