  1. Here Comes The Sun!

    Ok so I wanna talk about Doredia. Ive been using a sun team for a while and tried out a lot of sweepers. But it started to really kick off when I put Doredia on my team. I used: Doredia Leaf Guard/Chlorophyll @ Leftovers Bold Nature 252 Hp/252 Def/6 SpD Giga Drain Hidden Power Fire Butterfly...
  2. Lucario

    Dark Pulse isn't that bad of an option. While it does cause you to lose coverage on Heracross and Toxicroak, those are two rare pokemon, and I doubt they would even be switching in on Lucario. Meanwhile, Dark Pulse has a flinch chance which could be useful in tight situations, and I doubt the...
  3. Rotation Battle Play

    I think a good team would be max def calm mind suicune with 3 moves, and two wish passers with clerical abilities and taunt(to prevent being set up on). Since in rotation battles, you can now cm up and not have to worry about using moves like rest/sleep talk to keep yourself alive, you can have...
  4. Mew

    Difference between Mew and Salamence is that in one set, Salamence could threaten every OU pokemon. So you had to predict, if you switched in a steel type to eq/fire blast you were screwed, or switching anything non steel into draco meteor. Mew will never be able to pull this off because it...
  5. Ninetales

    Here are some interesting sets I thought of that are centered on combatting Ninetales' common switch ins and keeping up the weather and substitute and disable. Substatus Ninetales @ Leftovers Drought Timid 252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP Substitute Will o Wisp Hypnosis Flamethrower/Fire Blast With...
  6. Breloom

    I feel like the first set should be LO instead of CB simply because that makes better use of Spore. Since with this type of Breloom, your strategy would be switch into something you can threaten, sleep whomever they switch in and terrorize the rest. With spore on a CB, you are basically forced...
  7. Moltres

    rofl, how did I forget that. Ya you're right, my mistake. >.>
  8. Moltres

    Nitro Charge Moltres can actually make a pretty good lead imo. As a lead Stealth Rock is not an issue. Moltres @ Focus Sash/Lum Berry Nature: Modest Ability: Flame Body 252 SpA/252 Spe/6 Hp ~Nitro Charge ~Roost/Air Slash ~Fire Blast ~Hidden Power Grass Nitro Charge and Fire Blast allow...
  9. Articuno

    First of all, about ohkos, as someone pointed out, most of them belong to shitty pokemon and have targets who are immune, and sheer cold users can be blocked by pokemon with Sturdy. Sturdy pokes are actually pokes that are already competitively viable such as Skarmory and Forretress, where as...
  10. Wonder Launcher

    Well this certainly makes protect a lot more useful. Also, weakens status and lowers the need for heal bell/aromatherapy. With this kinda gameplay, stall will be a lot more prominent, and so will using stockpile/cosmic power, since with just defense boosts, you can stall out for some...
  11. Blaziken

    I feel like if you're not using Blaziken for late game sweeping(when you know the whole team), baton pass is mandatory. That way, you can switch in on something like nattorei and get the 1 speed, and then baton pass out to whoever they send in. Using a stab move right off the back is too...
  12. Umbreon

    I've actually been thinking, though I never tried this, that Umbreon with Charm and Wish/Baton Pass/Mean Look could be very effective. Umbreon retains the standard function of defensive pivot and wish/trap passer but with charm, Umbreon can screw over a lot of his common switch ins if he does it...
  13. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer (Mark 3)

    Question: So I have an r4 with hg, and occassionally I upload it to my pc and and play on no$gba. I do this when I wanna speed up a process like resetting after catching legendaries and such for good IVs. I was also considering making clones of my save files to get more master balls so I can...
  14. Team Dragon Stall, A Dragonite Centered OU Team

    Thanks everyone for the ideas. These are pretty interesting. Ok, so, about choice scarf Jirachi, you're suggesting it over porygon2? It might be a good idea since the speed allows me to kill many leads after Crobat's u-turn and prevent stealth rock set up and it can also kill Scizor and Lucario...
  15. Team Dragon Stall, A Dragonite Centered OU Team

    Hey everyone =P, though I've been playing competitive simulator pokemon for a while, this is my first RMT post. This is mostly because I wasn't really satisfied with many of the teams I made before, and I kinda just went around trying new things all the time, attempting to get a feel the various...
