I have a nifty little combo I've been using on my rain team for quite some time. I initially took it when my friend said that they're easily 2 of the worst fully evolved pokes. After a bit of testing I came to the realization that both Jynx and Stunfisk are lethal together in the current meta. I...

Electric/Psychic Bug/Dragon Grass/Flying

I'm jumping in late and don't have much to add, beyond the fact that my favorites thus far are Bug/Psychic, Fire/Psychic and Electric/Psychic, in no particular order. I was initially favoring Ice typing, but I agree with bmb's point on it possibly making it to difficult to switch in. My one...

capefeather My favorite concepts didn't make it, but still 2 great concepts

Scoopapa Flareblitz Darkslay Pwnemon capfeather Rediamond Birkal Looking forward to taking part in my first CAP. Being a lover of lesser used weathers, I love Scoopapa's concept. I also love Flareblitz's, which my first thought would be a bulky ghost with magic bounce that carries taunt...

Has anyone tried any set utilizing sky drop? I could see it being effective if taking advantage of passive damage (weather and/or status) as well as a free turn of lefties recovery

Octillery (F) @ Expert Belt Trait: Sniper EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef Quiet Nature IVs: 0 Spd - Surf - Ice Beam - Energy Ball - Fire Blast I've been having tons of success with this set on a Trick Room team since last night. I opted for Expert Belt over Choice Scarf so I spend...

I've posted multiple times about how good Jynx is and that applies to hail, I'm on my iPod so I'll edit in the full ev spread and such later, but Lovely Kiss, Sub, Nasty Plot and blizzard wrecks in Hail. Set is simple, come in on something that can't hurt you, put the switch in asleep, then set...

I'm considering trying this over Volc on my rain team. What advantages would you say this has over the quiver dance Volc? I feel like this is overall outclassed

I just took this thing on in rain and despite picking up the in, it annoyed the shit out of me. I believe it was scarfed, as it everything outsped I put in front of it. This things going to be scary once people realize it's versatility

I may eventually post a RMT of this once I tweak it a bit, but this team has been doing stupidly well on PS, considering how underused Stunfisk and Jynx are. Stunfisk @ Choice Specs Trait: Static EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef Modest Nature - Thunder - Surf - Earth Power - Hidden...

I used Jolteon on a team before BW2 and it often ended up pulling late game sweeps, not to mention Volt Absorb can help remedy Electric weaknesses. Something else I've been using both in rain and to counter it is a standard Jynx set: Jynx @ Leftovers Trait: Dry Skin EVs: 8 HP / 248 SAtk / 252...

I recently took up the challenge of trying a mono ice team. I've only used it tonight, but it's surprisingly winning roughly half it's battles. This has nearly been all due to the fact that I decided to use a standard Jynx set. I know, Jynx is RU but I've been sweeping like crazy with it once...

Reserving for if I do threat list

I recently decided I wanted to make an at least somewhat successful team revolving Red Card/Recycle Jirachi. As the title says, I know it's very gimmicky, but it's been surprisingly effective. To my surprise this team began winning roughly 60% of my battles, I'd say how high I laddered if not...
