       Coming Soon
       WIP: Welcome to the world of Haxmons, all you know is gonna be
       thrown aside and you'll need to learn a lot of new stuff. There
       are tons of hidden strategies and ideas and you can get creative
       about what to use. But we'll start simple and introduce you to
       the most common strategies of Haxmons. We hope you'll learn a
       lot from this article and that you'll enjoy the metagame and
       ultimately become a prof. Let's start now!
       1. Flinchers

       @ Choice Scarf
       Trait: Levitate
       EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 Atk
       Hasty Nature
       - Flamethrower
       - Extrasensory
       - Ice Punch
       - Thunderbolt
       This Azelf is a very real threat, because of it's insane speed
       and it's STAB flinching move coming of a 125 Special Attack.
       It's other attacks are to spread status. It is also a reliable
       offensive check to Lucario as it can survive a +0 Extremespeed.

       @ Black Sludge
       Trait: Levitate
       EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 Atk
       Hasty Nature
       - Dark Pulse
       - Sucker Punch
       - Thunderbolt
       - Substitute
       This set might look stupid and completely unviable normally, but
       it isn't. Once you know more about the metagame you'll see that
       it is very effective, high speed, flinching and Thunderbolt add
       up to a great Pokemon. Substitute is used to avoid Sucker Punch
       and Sucker Punch to prevent revenging, but watch out, Sucker
       Punch is extremely weak.

       - Omastar
       - Kabutops
       - Escavalier
       - Cloyster
       3. Secondary Effect Abusers/Status Spreaders
       - Starmie
       - Jirachi
       - Meloetta
       - Froslass
       - Lanturn
       4. Defensive
       - Heatran
       - Jellicent
       - Garchomp
       - Shaymin
       - Mamoswine
       5. Priority Sweepers/Revengers
       - Weavile
       - Kangaskhan
       - Toxicroak
       - Scizor
       - Conkeldurr
       6. Weather
       - Ninetales
       - Politoed
       - Tyranitar
       - Hippowdon
       - Abomasnow
       7. Inner Focus and Steadfast
       - Lucario
       - Crobat
       - Dragonite
       - Bisharp
       - Gallade
       8. Miscellaneous
       - Dugtrio
       - Cofagrigus
       - Alakazam
       - Shedinja
       - Sableye
       All of them are only mentioned once, so they will go in the
       category they fit the most.
       I conclude that these are far from the only viable Pokemon and
       there is still a lot to explore, but these are the most common
       of certain groups, even though some groups like priority
       sweepers are bigger, while groups like defensive are smaller as
       being well defensively is extremely hard in this tier, but it is
       certainly not impossible!
       So go out there and have fun, or look in out Other Metas section
       and search other tips about Haxmons that you might find nifty to
       use!

       of mons you use are too easily beaten by hazards
