Awoo!

I'm in!

I am in!

Alright, now that Showdown is back up, I'm testing out this Metagross on my team as my latest attempt at a bulky Earthquaker: Hephaestus (Metagross) @ Iron Ball Trait: Clear Body EVs: 236 HP / 252 Atk / 20 Spd Adamant Nature - Trick - Bullet Punch - Ice Punch - Earthquake I've only run this...

Yeah, I've noticed a bit of a problem with Dragonites, too. What about testing out a Metagross with Ice Punch in that last slot, in place of Mamoswine/Landorus? I'm leaning towards a Trick + Iron Ball set with Trick, Meteor Mash, Earthquake, and Ice Punch, but a Stealth Rock set could be...

Alright, after a bit of testing, I've determined that Raikou suits the team way better than Rotom-W. Raikou's versatility is too important to give up. I'm still enjoying this Landorus-T, though. I've been trying out HP Flying, but I think my Special Attack is too low to do much with any Hidden...

Oh, that's a really snazzy idea! I'll have to try that out. It took me a while to find a mythological name that fits a washing machine, but hopefully my nicknaming endeavor will not be in vain! I'm testing out Rotom-W right now-- I'll post updates after I get a better feel for it. I certainly...

Yep, Doom Dawg is correct. Thanks for the suggestions, though. In other news, that all-physical Kingdra spread I've been testing out is working nicely! As I predicted, he lost a lot of wall-breaking ability, and the Outrage confusion can sometimes cause trouble, but overall, I like the added...

Ohman, all these new Kingdra options sound pretty promising! I appreciate that switching him over to a physical attacker will give me the chance to invest in a little more bulk, especially since the rest of the team has rather specially offensive leanings. I'm going to test out this set and see...

Oh, I really like that Mamoswine! I will definitely test that out and see whether Mamoswine or Donphan works better in practice. I have a hunch that Mamoswine will help a lot, since my team has some dragon issues (as Kingdra and Raikou are both too vulnerable to come in on a dragon that's...

Splendid! You are all kinds of helpful. I spent all morning testing out the team with Donphan/Vaporeon added, and it seems to be running MUCH more smoothly. I updated my first post to reflect the changes I've made, since I like them and will be keeping them around until something better comes...

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Scrafty and Raikou have actually been my two most reliable team members by a long shot, so far, so I'm a bit reluctant to make major changes to them. I do agree that Rain Dance on Scrafty is perhaps not the most ideal location, but I feel like it would actually...

Thanks! I really enjoy the coverage that Volcarona adds to the team, despite the defensive shortcomings, so I think he'll be sticking around. (Not to mention he's one of my favorite favorite Pokemon and is just plain fun to use.) I absolutely LOVE Kabutops, though, and have been debating...

Thanks for the tips! I'm going to try running a bulky set on Volcarona with Roost instead of Fiery Dance and see how that goes. Here's the set I'm looking at using: Tlaloc (Volcarona) @ Lum Berry Trait: Flame Body EVs: 240 HP / 216 Def / 52 Spd Bold Nature - Quiver Dance - Bug Buzz - Hurricane...

Instead of a typical Drizzle team, I decided to run a Rain Dance team, so I could abuse Kingdra's Swift Swim. Thus far, it's worked out pretty nicely and actually wins the weather war almost every time it comes up against other weather teams, although it does have some trouble with special walls...
