So, M-Audino really helps out Mismagius and vice versa by tanking Dark type moves and being immune to Ghost types, while Mismagius is immune to Fighting moves. M-Audino also really helps with healing our team via Wish and can actually set up if you want it to using Calm Mind or you can go with Heal Bell to get rid of Toxic/Burn/Sleep/Para that certain status afflicters like Aromatisse, Rotom, and Sigilyph like to hand out. Dazzling Gleam is standard STAB and is only resisted by 7 Pokemon in the tier(Including Klinklang) it also really hurts common sweepers like Scrafty or Malamar. Wish/Tect is obviously a staple to Wish passing mons and set-up Audino to continuously keep it healthy and in the fight. We're definitely going to need more reliable mons to deal with the overlord of NU known as Emboar, since Audino doesn't resist fighting or fire and really takes a hurtin from it and Mismagius doesn't want to be on the receiving end of a Flare Blitz either. Despite this major weakness atm, I believe M-Audino will be a huge helper to Mismagius.

Alrighty, how about this for an offensive partner? Sceptile appreciates the absence of things like Braviary, Emboar, Golbat due to Mismagius' +2 attacks and especially with the Continental Crush in tow. Specs Sceptile has immediate breaking power due to its high powered STAB and Focus Blast coverage. Seriously, not a lot can switch in too many times into specs Leaf Storm. Dual STAB at your convenience, one to initially break through fatter teams and the other for accuracy and a bit of increased longevity in the face of hazards. Focus Blast is to hit things like Cryogonal and Scrafty and Guzzlord. Don't forget Togedemaru which has become increasingly popular. Hidden Power Flying seems odd, but it's to be able to hit hard the tiers bulkier grass types like Virizion and especially Whimsicott who love to switch in on Sceptile. Plus its a go to against Emboar if we're forced to attack it up front. Sceptile also makes a great late game cleaner once its counters have been done away with!

And that's two Pokemon! One that can tank and spank and the other that spanks really hard and fast! Both have been explained well enough! Whichever you think would fit best; let us know with you vote!

Lure sets are always fun, and it is getting to that scary time of the year so a ghost sounds fitting. It's Rockium-Z Mismagius! A simple set, you just set up a Nasty Plot and sweep at the opportune moment. Shadow Ball is fitting for STAB, Dazzling Gleam is so certain mons like Scrafty and Guzzlord can be hit hard enough and the kicker is Rockium-Z, which lures in certain mons that may think they can take a hit. Such mons include Braviary, Golbat, Crogonal, Vikavolt, and sometimes Incineroar and Houndoom. With these mons lured and out of the way, we can pave the way for other teammates that would appreciate their presence not being felt anymore. Rockium-Z doesnt even have to be used, sometimes the coverage and power from a regular old Power Gem is enough, so its nice to have. Then we save the big hit for something else! Mismagius enjoys things out of the way that may look to take her out quicker then she can act, fast things like Sneasel, Frosslass, Sucker Priority and scarfers all can prey on Miss' often unfortunate defense. So we'll have to play around those more often then not, once they're out of the way, there's not much that can stomach +2 hits from this ghost. Well, except certain bulky mons, there's a plethora but most arent built to take many hits from a boosted missy so she should be good with the team support needed to weaken them in general!

Smogon NU Viability Thread

Smogon NU Role Compendium

We'll find that these dual special attackers can really just plow through more defensive teams with their attacks. Their speeds aren't so bad either; especially Sceptiles in both the power and speed department who loves to clean up late game as well as wallbreak early. This offensive core do compliment each other as they tend to wear down each others checks or in the case of Maggy; blow them away all together to Sceptiles glee. Or the other way around to; so that Mismagius' flexibility can win the day in the end! Though, the frailty of this core is very apparent. They cant take very powerful hits so if they're not threatening somethin out with an OHKO or are against somethin that is simply faster; they can be taken down unfortunately easily. Things like this are Sneasel and Scarf Drapion as these mons outspeeds both of ours and can easily trap them, Emboar is another threat as it IS very bulky and hard to wear down at the beginning. Not so speedy, but easily able to tank and then OHKO both mons. The team's still young so as always; there's still many things to cover, but a tiny offensive core that batter each others checks is here now!

Now we'll still need things like rocks or perhaps pivots to get in these frail mons? Perhaps a pure defensive mon is on your mind? Whatever the case; suggest it and suggest it well! Take a look at the viability if you want as well; also, Barbaracle is being suspected. We'll not be suggesting it, ok? Im thinking its gonna go, everythings pointing towards it, but we can't be too sure. It might be safe just to have some general measures for it to, so keep it in mind. I'll let yall know when it ends.

Wish/Tect is obviously a staple to Wish passing mons and set-up Audino to continuously keep it healthy and in the fight. We're definitely going to need more reliable mons to deal with the overlord of NU known as Emboar, since Audino doesn't resist fighting or fire and really takes a hurtin from it and Mismagius doesn't want to be on the receiving end of a Flare Blitz either. Despite this major weakness atm, I believe M-Audino will be a huge helper to Mismagius.

Rhydon @ Eviolite
Ability: Lightning Rod

Adamant Nature

- Earthquake
- Rock Blast

Rhydon is arguably the best rocker in the tier. It threatens out so many of the common hazard control and gets up rocks very easily on the things it comes in on due to its immense bulk. Even Xatu has to be wary of its Rock Blast when coming in and trying to prevent rocks. Rock Blast over any other rock coverage as it can take down Froslass with 3 hits through the sash. Choosing Rhydon as it meshes well with out current mons. Rhydon lures out bulky waters such as Vaporeon, Seismitoad, and Slowbro. All of which our current mons would love to take advantage of. Megahorn is almost purely so Malamar can get threatened out and can be used against a predicted grass type as well. Rhydons typing does compliment our current mons as the water and grass type attacks aimed at could provide a hard switch opprotune for Sceptile. Sceptile can then react with the appropriate coverage. Even some of Rhydons weaknesses can be used to get in Mismagius as well due to her typing and ability.

Sorry for the wait! Normally, im a lil strict on the deadlines, nick. Though this time i'll let it slide so we can hit at least three entrants and expand our options. I wont let it slide next time though, so please be wary of those deadlines. Anywho, it's time to vote! Audino covers the role of cleric or bulky set up attacker. Its phenomenal bulk means it can come in on many unboosted hits and proceed to use these weak hits to set up, heal our team, or even just to take a hit nobody else should take. Which could be especially helpful in giving our attackers a second chance if they've been statused or weakened. Then we have Rhydon; a bulky, powerful, mixed defense Pokemon that makes its mark with the rocks it can so easily set and its respectful coverage. It also does synergize very well with our current mons; appreciating what they take down and can in turn, tanking the hits they dont want to, in return, it can dish out some damage of its own. Lastly; there's Incineroar. An AV set means mons like Sigilyph, Xatu, opposing Sceptiles and Mismagius, and quite a bit of special attackers find themselves checked when Incineroar comes in. Having to switch out; a U-Turn could be used to gain momentum. Though, hazard control would be mandatory as his checking capabilities are severely hindered when rocks are out.

Ok, there's the three mons!

Rhydon is here for our rocking pleasures, putting things into 2HKO and OHKO range for our sweepers. Aside from just meshing well and enjoying the fact that our other 2 Pokemon can take out the things that ail it such as bulky waters and bulky grasses, Rhydon also rids Poison types for Sceptile.

Right now our team is still plagued by common weaknesses that a lot of RU teams share. Such as Ice weakness, or rather, Vanilluxe weakness and a dark weakness. These things are normally remedied by fast checks and little opportunity for those types of mons to get in, but still, it's good to keep them in mind. We've still three slots to suggest with though so get suggestin!

Ability: Regenerator

- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Psyshock
- Slack Off

Alrighty here. Slowbro this fine Poke? It can survive a hit from a Banded Emboar's Wild Charge AND tanks it's Superpower and Flare Blitz excellently. Not only that, non-Freeze Dry Vanilluxe really have a problem dealing with it. Max defense ensures we can survive hits from mons like Emboar, Hitmonlee, and Steelix. Calm Mind lets us boost on a switch-in which can easily give us an edge in a fight against Mons like Virizion. Scald and Psyshock are standard STAB moves, and Scald can let us try and get burns on switch-ins to mons like Sneasel which would definitely spell trouble for Slowbro. Slack Off lets us stay in with our Calm Mind boosts to keep us alive and well to keep boosting and taking out mons that would cause us trouble. It also pairs very well with Rhydon and Sceptile as it tanks the Water and Fire moves that would otherwise demolish them.
