Wait, does Heal Pulse get a boost with Mega Launcher?! I've always want to give 'im a chance.
By 75%.
Only 50% actually. Still tho.. heal pulse heals 50% of a pokemon's HP.. mega launcher's 50% boost makes it 100% HP.. basily it instant heals any mon..
I'm seeing an oppertunity for bellylax+healitzer combo!
Ninjask/blaziken speed boost baton pass into wise glasses clawtizer is something to fear.. when TR is up tho in only a few turns (2-3) then clawitzer is death fodder to whatever it can't take down..
I run
Clawitzer @wise glasses
Mega launcher, 252 SpA, 252 HP, 4 Spe
Modest or timid (preferably modest as timid won't do much anyway..)
Dragon pulse
Water pulse
Aura Sphere
Dark pulse
Murders dragons.. ferrothorns.. lucarios, and lets not forget the STAB 25% confusion mega launcher boosted water pulse.. I prefer wise glasses for the free moveswitch.. however a choice specs is possible.. and devestating.. but it puts you at a disadvantage.. Life orb works too as wise glasses gives an almost useless 1.1x boost but it's a matter of whether you want to wall or hit hard.. remember his speed so without the boost your going to get hit hard and mostly likely revenge killed.. a baton passed scolipede or blaziken solves this problem. If it's a BP team then life orb might be better as you won't have to worry about taking hits with max HP with life orb leeching your health killing them before they even move.. even scizor bullet punch won't kill you before you kill it... Electric types such as megapardos and heliolisk easily get murdered with dragon pulse and aura sphere. Gengars with thunderbolt are destroyed by dark pulse however if they do live odds are you won't get OHKO'd with max hp.. maybe life orb will kill you but atleast your not going down without someone joining you. Jolteons are threats as well as azumarils as nothing he has hits defensive jolteons hard enough.. and azumaril is immune to dragon pulse.. resistant to dark pulse, aura sphere and water pulse.. basicly it'll just belly drum and setup on you.. unless you got the confusion with water pulse which is pure luck... but hey you can't always expect a brilliant and effective strategy to go flawlessly each and everytime.. reason why we have 5 other mons to back up.. a sweeper is always going to have that once in a while counter. Like my venomoth for example some people catch on to that right away.. and counter it easily. Or @WingedSnagret plays dirty with lum berry inflitrator chandelure.. GGwp...

No it doesn't. Mega Launcher boosts the effects of Pulse moves by 50%, meaning a 1.5x boost, ergo Heal Pulse healing 75% HP, not 100%. In one of those replays, Zapdos' HP went from 10% to 80(something)%. That's still really good though and when I have the time, I'll definitely give Clawitzer a go. I caught a Clauncher in the wild during my main adventure and it happens to be good; right nature and alright IVs.

AH my fault. I was thinking 50%+50%.. forgot that for double the adverage affects it would be 50% doubled by 100%..I suck at math..

I decided to test out clawitzer in a BP team.. He's OK and definitly the best mega scizor counter Sadly tho life orb killed him.. I could have swept if life orb damage wasn't on my side.. why I prefer wise glasses but those don't help much either. http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-100747145
Aron+T-ran obvious..
Talonflame priority..
Cloyster OP.. or mega heracross..
Gastrodon or aegislash.. for walling or offensive..
Gliscor to toxic stall.. and trust me blissies are out there I've lost to a fat pink blob in the maison.. litteraly a swords dance scolipede baton passed into a blissey.. it was horrible..

I always just go to Super Singles and take my Greninja, Megaskhan, and Aegislash. Greninja is always on point and takes out anything he can before fainting (though half the time he destroys entire teams by himself), Megaskhan as a backup plan, and Aegislash as the last resort.
I've only had a long enough streak to see legendaries once, but the strategy still works well enough for me.

Furthest I made it in Super Singles was 89, which was with Mega Kangaskhan, Greninja and Blaziken... I ended up getting swept by a Weakness Policy Carracosta with Aqua Jet, nasty stuff.
My current streak is at 50... still using Kangaskhan and Greninja, but replaced Blaziken with Dragonite.
Overall, my longest streak was about 127 (although it says 100, because I rage quit, haha) in the Super Triples... was after 200 for the Starf Berry and it took soooooo long to get that far.
I stopped going to Showdown after I found out Lucarionite was banned and Blaziken was "uber". -_- Sometimes I swear I just want to make a Smogon account to troll their forums...
