I'll try out that Mamoswine set, but I'd like to point out that Hippowdon is not running Sand Stream, so sandstorm isn't a given.

Thanks for the suggestions! I implemented the changes to Jellicent's EV spread and replaced Jolteon with Celebi-- however, I'm keeping Hippowdon for now since without him I have no solid counter to Dragons offensively. I'll keep this thread updated with changes and results.

This team rose out of a LOT of experimentation. I've been interested in competitive Pokemon for almost two years now, but took a long break after the release of B&W. But I'm back now, and after trying everything from anti-meta dual weather teams to hyper offense to a D-nite phaze team (or...

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/haomarush/Oysteria/simple I'm much more well-geared for DPS, but since spriests are getting nerfed today I suspect I'll be working on my healer set a lot more. I had max herba/mining until yesterday, but I wasn't getting a spectacular amount of dough from...

Really? 10 days and 4 bumps with only one semi-valid suggestion? Bump :(

Bump again, I really do need some constructive criticism. I am considering replacing Jirachi with Rapid Spin/Stealth Rock/Stone Edge/Ice Shard Donphan.

Made some major adjustments due to confusion as to the mechanics of Cloud Nine. Salamence is back and bulkier than ever, and CM Chandy has proven to be instrumental in this team's success as a surprisingly awesome setup sweeper despite the ubiquity of rain in the metagame.

I'm considering replacing DD Moxiemence with a Cloud Nine Altaria to counter weather in order to put Bulky CM Chandelure on my team (he would be replacing Cinccino). Any thoughts?

I do appreciate the suggestion, and I may actually replace Cinccino with Cloyster rather than Salamence, since two Skill Linkers seems pretty redundant seeing as they both have similar coverage (Cloyster's coverage is actually probably superior and gives me the added bonus of another Water/Ice...

The problem with that is that without Salamence I have no real counter for Nattorei, who will easily set up three layers of Spikes on any of my other mons unless I shoot for a chance at Freeze with Jirachi's Ice Punch. Cloyster also has glaring weaknesses to three popular attacking types...

Post reserved for changes and updates. Threats: Smeargle with Baton Pass will almost always succeed unless I predict the Pass recipient. This puts me in a very difficult situation and almost always results in the loss of at least one Pokemon. Bulky Dragonite also walls this team, especially...

Hello everyone. This is my second RMT thread, and my first with (what I hope is) a viable team in today's metagame. The other one can be found in my signature. I'm relatively new to the world of competitive Pokemon, and extremely new to the Pokemon Online battle sim. In my clumsy initial...

This more or less covers it. I assume since you're using illustrator that these were all made with the pen tool (which I've heard is vastly superior to that of Photoshop, which I use). If that is indeed the case, then holy shit. You definitely have a solid career ahead of you. I'd like to know...

Alright, so I used Staraptor and I have to say it works wonders as a choiced revenge killer or Life Orb sweeper. That extra fighting neutrality makes a world of difference on a team with such a huge exploitable weakness, and he generally fails not to OHKO anything that doesn't resist the move I...

Thanks a ton! I'll definitely pay more attention to kerning, as I do typically create type-heavy logos. I'd also like to point out that the "Art Express" banner is the only thing I've actually used gradients on. Everything else you see was hand-shaded with the dodge/burn tools, which I find...
