Current Events > Mega Pidgeot is OP as hell in the SM online 3v3 Battle Spot

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hardly any team is prepared for constant Hurricane spamming, and the relatively frequent confusion rate really screws them up as well

I like how in the BSS meta a lot of UU Pokemon become viable simply because of 3v3. Like, Breloom and Cloyster are a force in that meta because they hard counter Mimikyu with their multi-attacks and nobody runs Lum berry for Breloom (except for me)

I wish more people played BSS, I played a lot for a while.. Probably will get back in to it again once I get some more team. I have a full box of Pokes to use, but I want some options ;))

I would throw out my Tyranitar if I saw a Pidgeot on the enemy team... I've changed out a lot of Pokes but T-tar with assault vest has been a staple.

Who else do you run with Pidgeot?

Battle Spot should be renamed to Mimikyu Spot. Absurd ability + strong typing.

Yeah, and you can run it with Focus Sash AND Life Orb are super good and you also always have to be aware of a Z-move. I usually always take Mimikyu.

Breeloom, Cloyster and Rhyperior all make good counters with their multi-hit moves. Rhyperior actually shines in 3v3.

Tapu Koko will flat out destroy Mega Pidgeot. It will 1HKO Mega Pidgeot and moves faster. SM it's 3rd in usage and USUM it's 4 in usage.

Nidoking shuts down Koko so hard

Serperior + Focus Sash can be kinda OP too if you get a team without priority moves

Don't you study medicine?

Doesn't mold breaker hit through Mimikyu's disguise? Seems like Excadrill could really wreck Mimikyu

I believe the most common Tapu Koko set is TBolt, Dazzling Gleam, HP Fire for Ferrothorn/Excadrill who would wall it and your poison of Volt Switch or U-Turn. Since the only notable thing HP Ice hits better than Dazzling Gleam is Land-T.

Yeah i rarely see ice on Koko. I love Nindoking in BS as well.
