I feel that Snow or Rain teams with Ice Spinner may be a good anti-meta choice, given the introduction of Protosynthesis and Quark Drive. Unfortunately I don't have enough doubles experience to make a good sample team myself.

First off, Lucario isn't going to switch out; he's going to use Close Combat again since it does >50% and he's faster. Even if you were faster, Roost removes your Flying typing, meaning Close Combat does twice the damage and OHKOs your fire bird. Second, if you start bringing in switches and...

If anyone has a pile of Battle Points to spare, I need a Safety Goggles and an Eject Button very soon. I don't have much to offer except Pichu, Fletchling, Phantump, and Machop spitbacks, but you could call in a favor from me sometime down the line, like EVing and leveling a couple Pokemon for...

Hello. If anyone has some spare Adamant or Brave Synchronizers, I need some. I've been breeding Ralts for days to no avail.

Hello. Would you be willing to trade a flawless 5IV Aqua Jet Marill for a Shiny Mr. Mime? Shiny Mr. Mime x/x/x/x/x/x Male Serious Soundproof Also, if interested, I'd like you to nickname it. Anything's fine as long as it isn't crude or the name of another Pokemon, and that the first letter is...

There have been times where I wished Mega Gardevoir would keep Telepathy when it Mega Evolved, especially for the upcoming VGC. Dazzling Gleam alongside spammable spread moves would layer a massive amount of offensive pressure against your opponent. Trace could be interesting too. I'm not...

How does weather affect the power of pledge moves? For example, if it's raining and you use Water Pledge followed by Fire Pledge, is the move's power halved, not affected, or increased by 50%? How about if you used Fire Pledge first followed by Water Pledge in the rain instead?

I would like to give more evidence of the Sky Drop bug. Here's a replay of one of my matches. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/vgc2014-72948808 And here's the log.

Aroma Veil is already available from Friend Safari Spritzees. Incidentally, I think Granbull could find a niche for itself in Trick Room teams. Play Rough + Earthquake is amazing attack coverage, which can be further rounded out with Crunch, Stone Edge/Rock Slide, Close Combat, Iron Tail, or...

Hi there. I saw your entry in the Smogon Safari list. Would you like to exchange friend codes? My Safari has Vullaby, Sneasel, and Sableye. I've been really looking for someone with Aroma Veil Spritzees, you see. My friend code is 1375-8116-1915 if you're interested.

I just pulled off my first successful RNG; a 31/31/31/17/30/31 Jolly Regenerator Mienfoo. I just wanted to say thanks for making it possible.

I'm looking for someone to trade me a Dream World female Lillipup. I don't have too much to offer, but I can trade Pokerus, some of the old starters, and Dream World female Magby, Nidoran, Zangoose, Tangela, Dratini, Bagon, Gible, Sigilyph, Foongus, Girafarig, and Pinsir, among others. Edit...

Hi. You missed Bubblebeam in your signature.

It seems inefficient from my point of view to have Life Orb on Hitmontop. Life Orb always does exactly 10% of your maximum HP no matter what the base power of the move is, whether it's a base 35 Tackle or a base 140 Draco Meteor. Losing 10% of your own health every time you try to plink away...
