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.
^ and then replace explosion with rocks because i plan on dropping the atk ev's?
i'll try my best to do some testing tonight so that i can update the team above
i'll try to test all of these changes in the next few days. my only question now is where to put quagsire. i really don't see anyone who can easily be replaced
Thanks for the comments guys. You guys are 100% right about ogre. My only real strategy was to paralyze it and hope that i would get some hax. I can't believe I never thought about quagsire. @calze6: do you have any EV/moveset ideas for quagsire? i have mixed feelings about rachi. I went with...
^ skarm is OU and running steels on a sunny team isn't always the best idea seeing as all fire moves are increased in power
i like the hitmontop idea. you really don't have a great way of dealing with clefable atm
I've been playtesting tonight and I have made some major changes. Entry hazards became a huge problem as did dialga. Changes made will be put in bold above.
So I ran some stat calculations and max speed is the way to go. adamant nature won't let me outspeed lati@s or lugia assuming they max speed. I calculated some of my more common matchups and I am not losing out on any major KO's by dropping the adamant nature. Thank you for steering me in that...

Just out of curiosity is there anything specific that I won't outspeed without a Jolly nature? I changed the EV's...
So I used to be a pretty big OU battler but then I went to college and took a hefty break from pokemon. I've got some friends who are playing now so I re-added smogon to my bookmarked sites and have been trolling for a while trying to get back in the swing of things. My friends are all into...
i tried out starmie. i don't think it really helped too much. he was good for status absorbing, but once flygon was gone i didn't have a great switch in for electric attacks. rapid spin was pretty useless because everyone shrugs off stealth rock and toxic spikes only poisons cune, who doesn't...
Hey guys. You've probably heard this story like a hundred times, but I'm pretty new to competitive pokemon battling and i've spend a lot of time reading RMT's and trying to learn the game. I have a shoddy account that i've spend a lot of time on using this team and i just want some suggestions...
