The reason why I don't run Scald is that its only real purpose would be to give Dragalge an option against Heatran. But if you look at the damage calc: 252+ SpA Choice Specs Dragalge Scald vs. 248 HP / 192+ SpD Heatran: 170-202 (44.1 - 52.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery, it does...

I changed Starmie to the defensive set, however I chose to keep Psyshock over Toxic, as a reliable way to beat Keldeo, especially the Substitute set: 16 SpA Starmie Psyshock vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Keldeo: 192-228 (59.4 - 70.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery. This new Starmie set is...

I made a few small changes. I changed the Spe evs on Gyarados to 196, and then set the Def evs to 60 for better bulk. Then I swapped Protect on Ferrothorn for Spikes, so I can dual stack hazards with Hippowdon.

To be fair, Dragalge is already one hell of a Fairy-killer, so my team really isn't lacking one. Secondly, Starmie really doesn't have a huge amount of Bird Spam stopping power even with a bulky set. Here's my point: 252 Atk Sharp Beak Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 248 HP / 252 Def Starmie: 151-178...

Well firstly, I do like the coverage of Ice Beam, although I could consider trying Recover. Also Dragalge is a Keldeo counter, so it's not like I have no switch-ins for it. Secondly, I need Ferrothorn as a reliable Fairy resist and Water-type killer, as well as a safe switch-in for water-types...

EDIT: 06/10/2015 Hey again everyone. I made a Mega Gallade RMT way back in November that you all seemed to like, so I thought I would make another RMT of a team I have had some pretty good recent success with. You can view my first RMT here...

Hello there. I didn't know people were still reading this post. But I'd be happy to help you out. Anyway, Soft-Boiled is completely legal on Clefable is Clefable does not have its hidden ability. That means it's only illegal to have Soft-Boiled and Unaware on Clefable. But there is no problem if...

I think Giratina-O would be a fantastic addition to the OU metagame. Now I'll be honest, when I first saw the post, I thought it was an early April Fool's joke. Not only have we been on a trend for only banning pokes from OU and never bringing them back, but of all the pokes to bring back a poke...

The only problem I see is that you have no real switch-ins for Mold Breaker Excadrill. I would recommend running Landorus T to deal with it. What you would cut I'm not sure.

I updated my team list to reflect all the changes I've made so far.

Yeah so i think I've decided on what changes I want to make, after doing some testing. I want to first swap the EVs on Ferrothorn to the standard 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD spread. I've noticed the extra physical bulk has really allowed Ferrothorn to eat more Earthquakes and other physical hits...

I agree that it's a bit of a stretch, but I appreciate the ideas. No Defogger is probably a deal-breaker for me, because I'm terrified of the chance that my opponent carries Sticky Web, albeit Bisharp has a field day with it, Gallade and Greninja certainly wouldn't. Also being able to Defog...

Yeah I think I like the Banded set the most of the suggestions, mainly because I want Talonflame to have an immediate threatening presence much like how Greninja currently has. You mentioned Fairy-types, if you had to pick one, which would you? And who would you cut for one? The trend I've...

Do you have importable suggestions for Talonflame? I want to try it out. You brought up some great points.

Rotom Wash is my physical wall and Ferrothorn is my special wall. I agree that Rotom is not the bulkiest of physical walls, but there aren't a lot of bulky electric types out there, especially those that can WoW. Low Kick on Greninja is an interesting suggestion.
