You're against Shaymin-Sky Soak Seed Flare shenanigans?ugh the alliteration make it stop
Defend Order, which, with Battle Armor, means it only has to worry about moldy crits.Drapion. Just Drapion.
Dark void, Dragon tail, Defog... Learns knock off naturally too and other fine tools! A+ support.
Probably better than Fletchinder's Forest's Curse.Is there any merit to Tyranitar's Trick or Treat?
Man, you really haven't played Alphabet Cup. ExtremeSpeed is the most most abused thing in this tier ever.. to the point that if you do not have a valid counter for the opponent's +2 ESpeed, you're pretty much done. And it's especially that tension of not letting the opponent set up that makes the meta interesting. Quagsire helps a bit, but Excadrill has Mold Breaker to walk over it. Sableye can act as a check, but only if it as full health and has full investment in HP and Defense (+2 Earthquake bangs you up pretty bad).E-Has some offensive options, not very notable (Earthquake, Extreme Speed, Eruption)
I legitimately forgot ESpeed had +2 priority while writing this let me fix thatMan, you really haven't played Alphabet Cup.

Sigilyph has Miracle Eye already: Roost, Cosmic Power, Stored Power, Miracle Eye. No Burn-Shift but you are not walled by Houndoom and forced to cripple down Dark Types with Burn (while taking Knock Offs/Dark Pulses et cetera).Some possible nuisances:
Shell Smash Sigilyph
- Mono attacking Stored Power sets have an easier time sweeping with this once dark types are out of the picture.
- Can now run Secret Sword to plough through dark types though 4MSS is a problem.
A few months ago I think I remember I suggested the idea of rebooting the thread, but TI was against it because he didn't like the concept. But maybe since this keeps getting attention it may pick up some activity in the future.Fun fact: last time the creator of Alphabet Cup, Martingale, posted, Arcticblast was OM leader, unfixable was a badgeless and frequently banned user named Chesnaught and he still posted in a weird green font, and it was still 14 months before baconbagon would join Smogon.
Yet this keeps coming back time and time again (and almost won OMoTM at least once), so there's clearly some sort of interest in an alphabet-based meta. Perhaps it would be a good idea to find a new thread owner, or better yet, put Arhops in charge so we can finally #freealphabetmons?
Is Manectric that good of a wall to take advantage of Milk Drink? The best thing about it is Intimidate, which it stopped by a switch, not to mention it still dies to alot of special hitsThoughts:
Mega Manectric with Milk Drink
Hitmontop with Heal Order
Heatran with Heal Order
Registeel with Roost
Porygon 2 with Parting Shot
Whimsicott with Will-O-Wisp
Shuckle with many great S moves (Slack Off)
I've tried to implement it on ROM, although take care to watch out for bugs.Is this playable yet?
You have to be a fire-type to use Burn UpBlastoise with Burn Up (A 130 BP Fire-type move with no appreciable downside ought to give people pause)
