Haha, funny how that happens. Since you're here, perhaps you'd like to weigh in on Starmie vs. Burungeru? Also, general note. I'm presently switching Erufuun into the lead position. If anybody has some tips on what to do with her moveset or EVs (if anything), let me know. I'm also pondering...

Thanks for the tips. I've switched to the EV spread you suggested, I'll see how it works out. Also, I've been considering replacing Focus Blast with Shadow Ball to deal with Rankurusu, which has a tendency to demolish my team. Is this a bad idea? Also, I'm really considering replacing Burungeru...

Thank you, idiot. (I can't believe I just said that without being insulting. o.o) May I ask you to elaborate a little on your tests? I'm curious as to the details of what you found.

I would also like to point out that the search engine uses a verification image. What the F, Smogon? I gotta go through the torturous process every time I want to use the advanced search?

Done, I have switched Rankurusu to the Calm Mind variety.

So, I've been looking at other sets, and I've been wondering. Should I use Taunt on Erufuun, to stop other leads setting up entry hazards (if I decide to put her in the lead slot)? Also, should I put Leftovers and Leech Seed on Nuttre to make him a better wall? I've also been considering...

Alright. Now perhaps you can alleviate another concern of mine, related to the loss of Sp Atk EVs. Namely Fighting types. And, more specifically, the dark-type Payback they usually carry for just such instances as this. With 252 EVs in Sp Atk, he can OHKO a defensively-oriented Roopushin with...

Huh? Okay. Thing is, without Trick Room, can Rankurusu really have the 'speed' to be an effective Calm Mind user? I'm not sure I've wrapped my head around this one yet. Where would Recover be used? Maybe if you explained this a bit further? Also, I disagree, you always have to worry about...

My update is complete. Questions? Comments? Legitimate concerns?

Ah, I was unaware of this. Thanks for the heads-up. Eh ... that's kinda complicated in an Ihavenoidea sort of way. I mean, each pokemon has a purpose, but I seem to win each battle differently. I won a few battles by setting up Kerudio with Calm Mind and sweeping my opponent's team. Then I won...

Well, I honestly think I disagree with that. Jirachi has net me some very important KOs, when others couldn't cut it, thanks to hitting 13/17 types for super-effective damage. Nonetheless, I will try it, it's worth a shot. But I honestly think maybe Erufuun would be a better sacrifice ... maybe...

That makes sense. In which case the question becomes, what pokemon do i replace with it?

Thank you for your advice. @Jaroda: Two things. First, Pokemon Online is telling me that I can't get a Nattorei with Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Explosion. Is this a glitch, or is this true? If it is true, which two should I choose, and what should I put in my final moveslot? Second, thanks for...

I agree. Spambots are a problem, but it shouldn't get to the point where it puts people off because they simply cannot make it out themselves. Imagine if somebody with less than 20/20 vision tried to sign up. They couldn't.

Hi. This is my first practiced attempt at a competitive 5th-Gen team. I have used it a few times, and it's worked pretty well for me, but I have also noticed there are some flaws, so it's not the best it can be. I am constantly working to improve this team, so I would appreciate any feedback you...
