Post predictions, movesets, etc for new Alolamons
Predictions:
>OU: Toxapex, probably all or most of the UBs until we get the next games that give us move tutors and they get foisted off to Ubers
>BL: UBs with smaller movepools as of now
>UU: Kommo-o, possibly Fluffy Bewear and/or Salazzle
>RU: Silvally, Sandyghast, Mimikyu
>NU: the rest of the slow shitmons
Ribombee would be viable if not for the BP nerf, but even when it was around, Venomoth was capable of doing it but no one bothered with it, so it probably wouldn't be great anyway. Not really sure what to do with Salazzle as of now.
Bewear and Kommo-o would love to get something like Drain Punch

For whatever tier Bruxish ends up in, Tsareena can hope, at best, to be in the one below it. People overestimate its utility with Rapid Spin since it's vulnerable to all entry hazards, and even pokemon like Hitmontop can spin on ghosts thanks to Foresight.Yes, people actually use Foresight + Rapid Spin Hitmontop. or at least they did around Gen 4. In Gen 5 Excadrill was the new hotness, so I don't remember what people did when smogonmole was banned to ubers.

If nerfs count then I hope BL at least.

Z-Splash on a Pokemon with over 100 attack with adamant and no EV investment (and no clue of IVs) and strong STAB moves.
BL at minimum.
Z move might be pretty good on Decidueye sine the only thing it has over Dhelmise is the ability to trap something, set up with Swords Dance/Nasty Plot/Z version of one of those moves and then baton pass to something that doesn't have shit speed. Could have roost or even rest for longevity

Whoa wait what happened to Baton Pass?
>>29861312
Smogon nerfed the strategy of chaining Baton Pass by adding a clause because it was impossible to get around

>Pass attack to Scolipede
>Pass attack and speed boosts to M-Beedrill
>>29861389
Oh I thought you meant something actually happened to it.
Still getting used to SM changes.

Why do you think Z-Splash is a good idea?
Why are you willing to give up an entire move slot on a +3 Attack, once per battle effect? If they have ANYTHING that walls your physical attacker after the Z-Splash, you've just wasted your Z move.

Z SD/NP/BP/Roost resets the user's stats, so that won't work
