Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Just posting to say that I have found that the defensive core of Steelix and Slowking is very successful in the current metagame.

@thund91 Besides rapid spin blastoise is just a weaker milotic without recover. It is rapid spin that blastiose must capitalize on to make a name for himself.
Sub punchers are a problem for this team
Top has performed quite well without it but if I will try it out
I actaully used mismagius here before blastoise because of the fighting weakness. However she just wasn't performing well enough well blastoise hindered stall while also outspeeding the...
If I need Life Orb I will change it. I am interested to know if expert belt would clinch the 2hko as I am still weary on the recoil.
I am truly flattered that you think it is a good team. As for the gallade issue that is waht I end up doing. As for Blastoise bulk he still can take a hit...
The lum berry is useless as umbreon can heal up status. So I might as well get extra power. However Life Orb recovery is not that appealing so fist plate is used to boost the main move of mach punch.
Arcanine's Nature was a typo but is fixed
Who would you recommend changing for...
Team Building Process:
After no less then 20 different teams I became very frustrated. Upon reading up on some OU RMT's I came across Life Orb Starmie. It was here that I thought "There should be an UU version of this" It was there that I decided to have blastoise. He would spin away hazards...
I would discourage adding sunny day as that would allow poke with chlorophil to outspeed you that shouldn't . In place of that on hitmontop I would recommend pursuit as he forces switches or sucker punch for priority. I also find that 252 hp 252 ark on tops gives him some power to keep the...
Blast From the Past
Welcome Smogonites to my RMT. With the awaited english release of Heart Gold and Soul Silver, I wanted to make a team utilising only gen 1, 2 pokemon and their evolutions. This actually wasn't too hard as many of the gen 1 and 2 pokemon have been sent to UU. I have been...
I did go with flame orb. And quick attack also does have several uses. Protect really only helps with helping me activate guts in one turn. Besides that quick attack is the way to go and I actaully have been using it. I am going to try both rock and perior inplace of donphan. However I am...
Blue Wind: Okay I tested out rest tomb and it was a fail. I think I will keep the lead tomb in place of rotom.
Now on to 031ap I am not sure who you want me to replace for the bulky rock. I like protect on swellow as it allows me to activate guts thus allowing for KOs. There are times...
So I should replace rotom with spiritomb? I really like the frosslass lead and the whole concept of offensive spikes. So I will keep her as a lead. Also as for the spiritomb suggestions how would a rest sleep talk set fare
