Metagame Statattack

ideally they shouldn't show up as moves at all. and what do you mean about bidoof? if you're asking about how simple works, i've answered that in the FAQ: the boosts are treated like normal stat boosts and thus are doubled by simple.
yes, i was asking about simple. thanks for the explanation.
will you receive the boosts every time you switch in?(i'm assuming you would; just making sure)
spectral thief seems pretty good, even though only smeargle could use it.
btw sorry about not capitalizing properly, i'm using a device where the shift key is weird.
 
I'm thinking Exploud loves this.

Exploud @ Choice Specs or Scarf
Scrappy
252 SpA, 252 Speed (or HP), 4 somewhere

== Boomburst
== Flamethrower
== Surf
== Special Attack

With Specs and a positive nature, Exploud is coming close to 700 Special Attack when switching in. STAB Boomburst off that will hurt. Pity it's never better than neutral.

Trick room with contrary users?

Set up trick room then:

That fat worm thing that I can never remember the name of but it uses leaf storm @ Choice Specs
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature (+SpA, -Spe)
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Leaf Storm
- Filler
- Filler
- Speed
 
I can see Pokemon that rely primarily on STAB moves benefiting the most from this. Three examples:

Tapu Koko w/ Choice Band 252+ Atk, 252 Spd: Wild Charge, Brave Bird, U-Turn, Attack
Aerodactyl-Mega 252+ Atk, 252 Def: Rock Slide, Earthquake, Fire Fang, Attack
Zapdos w/ Life Orb 252+ Sp Atk, 252 Spd: Thunderbolt, Heat Wave, Hidden Power Ice, Special Attack

I'm thinking Exploud loves this.

I can see Porygon-Z w/ Choice Specs 252+ Sp Atk, 252 Spd: Tri-Attack, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Special Attack with a similar boost.

quite an interesting concept, could see some potential threats in a couple mons, lycanroc dusk i doubt would have to much of an issue here, gaining an attack buff to help its already insane damage off of accelrock or crunch. although losing out on stealth rocks can harm some sets...
 
Let me get uhhh
a replacement for SP, because I am having withdrawls

Wow, so I saw this a while ago but didn't take much attention to it till now. My job? Find out what is broke in this meta.

Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Soft-Boiled
- Toxic
- Seismic Toss
- Defense
Normal Chansey set, but now a lot harder to hurt.
252 Atk Life Orb Lucario Close Combat vs. +1 248 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 400-476 (56.8 - 67.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
random calc but also that, compared to this
252 Atk Life Orb Lucario Close Combat vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 601-710 (85.4 - 100.9%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
so yeah

Greninja-Ash (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Battle Bond
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Speed
Another standard set but now it gotta go fast

ye bout it for now

EDIT:
Araquanid-Totem (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Water Bubble
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Liquidation
- Leech Life
- Poison Jab
- Speed
Ok I wanted this before on her, but school y'know.
+1 252 EVs, 31 IVs, Scarf Araq p much outspeeds the whole unboosted OU meta.
I get you're saying "but people can get free stat boosts." The only issue with this is, not a lot of mons will. This is thing outspeeds Mega Alakazam and Mega Aerodactyl. And I'm p sure people don't wanna lose coverage on a super fast mon already.
For picky people, if the opponent is at +1, which could be scarf or "Speed", then it outspeeds anything below base 125 speed. That's still a lot, with only threats that include Megas and Koko.

also if you want, this is what I used: http://choicescarf.com/ p good site if I say so myself.
