Quick & easy change, swap Earthquake for Stone Edge on Heracross. It allows you to deal with flying-types, most of whom resist both of Heracross's STABs with impunity, as well as not risking having something like Latias come in when you choice yourself into Earthquake. You might also want to...

I think Specially-biased Nattorei and almsot all Heatran are both going to be a huge pain for Jaroda. Both 4x resist his main STAB, can set-up on him, outright kill him, etc. Herbivore Mebujikia is also an obvious problem, as it has the ability to eat up leaves and hit back with a...

A spinblocker for Sandstorm teams? It's a dream come true! Immunity to Sandstorm and resistance to SR makes a great spinkblocker. Not to mention No Guard DynamicPunch and Stone Edge. This guy is a beast in utility if not in his Attack score. SubPunch will probably be his most threatening set...

Perhaps you could remove Spikes for Gyro Ball? I understand Nattorei will no doubt force a lot of switches, but Spikes will most likely only be used once or twice, and though that is enough, Gyro Ball makes sure you don't get walled by Dragons in particular. Salamence, Ononokusu, Sazandora, and...

I can see this guy working quite well in Ubers, no doubt. Heck, Ononokusu, Salamence, and Rayquaza are basically all the same 3 pokemon. Just imagine the damage after Rayquaza cripples the Groudon, Salamence goes down after denting the steel switch-in, and Ononokusu coming on for the sweep...

I only read the first 3 pages of this thread, so, forgive me if I regurgitate something on the fourth page, but... I think Desukan would be a great check to Jirachi thanks to high defence, Will-O-Wisp, and the removal of Serene Grace. He obviously cannot take on SubCM and the like, but he puts...

LeadQuaza usually don't carry Focus Sash, they usually carry Lum Berry or Life Orb (in all my encounters with LeadQuaza, I've seen only 1 sash) in order to beat Darkrai or gain much need power, resepctively. As for Deoxys-A, LeadM2 will win if it uses Stealth Rock first turn. If it instead...

Actually, if we're talking about Haze, it's just hazing: clearing the field of all stat boosts and reductions. Pseudo-hazing is Roar and Whirlwind: removing stat boosts passively (by forcing the Pokemon out of the field, resetting their stats back to normal.) Correct me if I'm wrong.

I know it's a month late response, but I feel that it's worth mentioning... Lead Kyogres (not ScarfOgres) run Thunder Wave to cripple the lead or the incoming pokemon. Thus, unless you've found out that the Kyogre is Scarfed, I wouldn't suggest switching in Palkia, but rather, a status absorber...

Maybe now, with all the Salamence lovers loving Salamence, Ubers will get a newer crowd. With Salamence moving on up to Ubers, it may be likely that some newcomers will come in and abuse Salamence + Rayquaza combination. Anyways, it has been a while since I've been on Shoddy, so I wouldn't know...

Or Heracross! He's a better Scarfer than Gyara with the same attack score + Guts.

Hello, Cobalt. I like Sandstorm teams, especially going up against them, and I've gone up against plenty, so I'll speak from experience and knowledge. First off, I agree with giving Roost to Gliscor in order to give him more longevity, and with Saand Veil abuse, he may find the chance to...

Well, with U-Turn on Flygon, it's a nice check when switching into a Grass Knot ot Thunderbolt. It relies no prediction a lot, but it's much better than nothing. Looks fine to me. Gliscor is more or less dealt with, Machamp is a decent check, except SD Gliscor is a problem, yeah.

I have to support the argument regarding the different metagame/environment. When making an Ubers team, I think like I would in OU: Come up with a main focus, whether it be a weather focus, focus around one poke, heavy stall, etc; find pokemon to fit that main focus, make sure they synergize...

Yea, essentially anything with an Electric and Grass attack beats this team outright, most notably (as pointed out by NarutoxxUzumaki) LO Starmie. Surf + Thunderbolt + Grass Knot + Psychic / Hydro Pump is hard to beat. Machamp can try absorbing a GK, but he will probably die to Hydro Pump the...
