I've been playing with NP ghold I forgot that I had scarf on it originally hah!~ Can I ask the logic behind poison Dirge? Is it just to avoid toxic/toxic spikes? Or is there a particular threat that it is for. With Curse Eq Garg Running about, I would imagine losing the ground weakness would...

Thank you so much for the feedback! In one of the earlier builds I was using skeledirge in the glim slot and having Tusk hold SR. Admittedly it was not a sub set, so I am extremely curious as to how that will feel! I have heard rumors about the jawlock taunt Roaring Moon! I have never seen it...

Back at it again! Lets see how far we can go this time!

Introduction Hello everyone. Some of you may recognize me from my Gen 5 days. I'm extremely rusty, but looking to get back into the game more 'seriously'. So here it is, the team I've been using for awhile. At my peak in this gen I got to barely 1700, but tend to float around 1600, or 1500 on...

Kinda sorta back.

Just saw the reply. I think ill keep it on Def. That extra bulk does help with tanking certain moves like a rachi's body slam and such.

Ah I see. Ive definately noticed the changes in Lando. Thanks for that spread! Out of curiosity, how effective would it be for Latias to put the extra evs into defense rather than into SpA? Just out of curiosity.

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the great feedback. Starmie> Jellicent is an interesting choice but I lose a very big check to Keldeo and many other physical sweepers. As AJ said, I dont really have too big of an issue with opposing hazards anyway. Thank you though. Ive changed a few Natures and...

Wouldn't separating Keldeo from Keldeo-Resolution Form help neuter Keldeo's power? Seeing as how normal form can't have Secret Sword without going into Resolution, it would make sense to ban the form rather than both states. Without Secret Sword, Keldeo's sweeping power drops as the number of...

Lucario’s Vangaurd! An OU team by Ashura Areson Hey all you Smogonites! This is my OU team that I have been working on for… Well awhile. As the title suggests, the team has the underrated Pokemon known as Lucario. He was originally the primary sweeper of the team, but as time progressed you...

The flame charge heatran can really wreck things if it works. Scarfed tar at the cost of my Tornadus seems to leave me too vulnerable to Fighting types for my tastes... maybe im just bad lol.

Hmm interesting choices. Sun really hasn't been that huge of an issue for this team. Between Heatran and it utterly destroying 95% of sun teams on its own + Tornadus T with heatwave I really haven't had too big of an issue. I haven't really used scarfed tar before. I have tried banded tyranitar...

The first thing that I notice is the fact that Mammoswine has a field day with your team. Ice shard wrecks your Landorus and Garchomp.... Earthquake Hammers tentacruel, and it still can run Super power to wreck ferrothorn and your Tyranitar. How to fix this... Im not entirely sure. I know you...

If you are still looking for a Venasaur check... I personally use a scarfed tornadus-T with heatwave. Scarfed tornadus-T outspeeds a Vena in the sun and then OHKOs back with a heatwave. In addition, hurricane would also help with the likes of opposing keldeo not packing aqua jet. I suppose you...
