I've swapped Flash Cannon out for Stealth Rocks and moved Spikes onto Ferro - you're right, I fixed my ability to combat fairies when I swapped Weavile for Bisharp. I might also try Rocky Helmet instead of Leftovers on Ferrothorn too for more passive damage, though that may push me to add leech...

Using single bump; also changed tag to ORAS, had it xy by mistake

Thanks for the suggestions. I have made the change from Weavile to Bisharp, though I feel I would lose too much if I fiddled with Heatran. The combination of Toxic+Taunt is my best answer to Stall. If I changed SR to Heatran to make room for spikes on Ferrothorn, I'd have to move Toxic to...

So I'm in love with Mega Latias. I decided to build a team featuring it and not only have I been pretty successful with it, but it's a lot of fun to play with. I won't bore you with the teambuilding process as it was an evening of theorymonning and what you see is the product of that - save some...

Bump

At a glance: This is a team I really like and have been using for a while, so I thought I'd show it off for any final improvements before I retire it and start building another. The objective was to come up with a Physical/Special offensive pairing that could wreak havoc individually, but...

Thanks for the high level of input guys, it's really appreciated. I'll address your suggestions one at a time: Mosquiton: - I hadn't meant to make a hyper offense team, but it does actually look like that's what's happened. To that end I'll be switching Ferrothorn for Deoxys-D as you...

Before we get into the team, I'm going to come clean and say that the title has nothing to do with the team. It's just the name of a wine I've been drinking. I hate uncreative/meaningless names so it probably bothers me more than anyone else, but anyway...onto the team. Team Preview...

Thanks for the responses, in particular the last few. I tried out the RestTalk suggestion because Gyarados was dying far too quickly to be effective, but kept its role as a parashuffler. It's proven much, much more effective in its role now. I might try out the Parashuffling Dragonite at some...

Skarmory is still a 2HKO, as is Magnezone, and both are slower. I appreciate the input but I really hate missing Fire Blast - It's better to do slightly less damage than none at all IMO

Unless you can give me actual damage calcs to back up your statement, I'll stay with Flamethrower's reliability. People reccomend Fire Blast on Nidoking but I've found Flamethrower immeasureably better. Also the point of Hydreigon isn't to wall break but to clean up at the end, so...

Team Preview: Changes in red, old version in white Hydreigon@Life Orb Levitate Mild 252 Spe / 252 SpA / 4 HP - Draco Meteor - FlamethrowerFire Blast - Superpower - Dark PulseRoost On my old team I use special Nidoking as an incredible damage dealer, hitting several OU threats...

@ limititations - Hypnosis' awful accuracy is enough for me to never use it, but Toxic is still the better choice I think because I don't always get toxic spikes up and it helps me win one-on-one fights with politoed a lot of the time. @ Darkerones - I'll consider Ludicolo, but I stand by my...

Introduction: I wanted to try something different after I got bored with my last team. ( http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103870 ) That meant no Nidoking and no Ferrothorn/Gliscor/Jellicent defensive core. I gave many things a try and settled on trying to build a rain team from the...

Thanks, I'll try that for Jellicent. That doesn't leave me with any special defence whatsoever then (short of Ferrothorn, but I'm pretty scared of opposing fire attacks being run as HP on basically everything for it). Any suggestions on how I could improve my hit-taking ability from things like...
