Is manaphy any good in DOU?
Also lacks the raw power and speed of keldeo, but has better defensive typingYes. As a set up sweeper with tail glow.
But it lacks the utility of other water types such as Suicune, Gyarados, and Swampert
any other follow me user that's not weak to EQ?? jirachi + chari-x is gonna take srs damage from EQ.One of the biggest thing Char-X benefits from is redirection so that it can dragon dance a little more freely. I typically see that from Follow-Me Jirachi + Charizard X. Also just team support that can help deal with both bulky waters and bulky grounds are a big help
Yeah I would definitely say that Cresselia is still a good mon in the meta and is very reliable as a TR setter and a general support mon with helping hand, icy wind, t-wave, etc. but it also is a momentum vaccum because of how many pokemon hard-wall it, specifically dark and steel types which are very common in the metagame atm. Not that its bad at all, but definitely has its good and bad matchupsWhy is cresselia so low in the viability rankings
swaggerIn DUU... How can I counter an Aromatisse + Hairyama lead? It seems impossible to prevent trick room from coming up.
Hoopa works as a good TR check, as Hyperspace Hole kills Hariyama and Shadow Ball kills Aromatisse. Plus it can abuse TR thanks to its low speed.In DUU... How can I counter an Aromatisse + Hairyama lead? It seems impossible to prevent trick room from coming up.

I just did the calcs... unless it is a blank aromatisse set, shadow ball won't kill. I might need a specs poison type, or something.Hoopa works as a good TR check, as Hyperspace Hole kills Hariyama and Shadow Ball kills Aromatisse. Plus it can abuse TR thanks to its low speed.
Then you can pair it with a fast fake-outer to flinch Aromatisse first turn when you kill Hariyama, then dual target Aroma turn 2.I just did the calcs... unless it is a blank aromatisse set, shadow ball won't kill. I might need a specs poison type, or something.
But I already need fake out to stop Hairyama from faking out my mon. Maybe inner focus Crobat?Then you can pair it with a fast fake-outer to flinch Aromatisse first turn when you kill Hariyama, then dual target Aroma turn 2.
Ah, now I understand. Thanks. I keep forgetting about the utility of the ghost type.If your fake out is faster, and since fake out doesn't affect Hoopa, just use it against Aromatisse.
I think Mega Metagross is probably great too since it does that in addition to walling Abomasnow/Aromatisse and it beats other Hoopa-C (given trick room isn't up in the case of Megagross vs Hoopa-C)Hoopa works as a good TR check, as Hyperspace Hole kills Hariyama and Shadow Ball kills Aromatisse.
