I scribbled this in photoshop quickly after inspiration from a battle I had tonight where my Lanturn fought a Wobbuffet. Just something I quickly scribbled, and decided to share it. I was too lazy to draw the wobbuffett and substitute, it's 4am give me a break. And here's the battle log of...

Lanturn and Gyarados work amazingly together.

TyraniBoH is actually a very strong pokemon for dismantalling the Nattorei/Burungeru combo. With a negative speed nature, Nattorei cannot break T-Tar's Subs with Gyroball, and Tyranitar hits a 2HKO with Fireblast, while Burungeru is OHKOed after entry hazard damage with Crunch. Sure, Tyranitar...

It's just not even fun fighting against inconsistant users any more. I've had games where I've been dominating my opponent the entire game until their inconsistant user comes out and walls then sweeps my entire team. If I see an inconsistant user in the team preview I don't even bother...

I made it quite a while ago when I was still fairly new to shoddy, most of it is pretty terrible looking back. Mine was mostly a gimmick UU team rather than to be used in OU. Donphan (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Ice Shard -...

[/LIST] Marowak has 110 base defense.

Nattorei obtains Spikes and Stealth Rock through breeding, but each of them from different fathers. It's not possible to get both on the same Nattorei legally. You can get one entry hazard and leech seed through breeding however. Kerudio also isn't allowed to be used in OU currently. It's an...

I haven't played Wifi in a long time due to a lack of wireless routers, but I was under the impression wifi battles auto-balanced all pokemon to level 50 or level 100, depending on which category you chose. So shouldn't level 1 pokemon be illegal any way, since Smogon aims to keep the simulators...

You don't have to replace Venusaur, and it is a little hard to fit Donphan onto your team. Personally I'd swap the roles of Pikachu and Garchomp around, making Garchomp your revenge killer and Pikachu your sweeper. Running substitute + nasty plot with thunderbolt and hidden power ice gives you...

No Seismic Toss on Charizard. Blasphemy. Consider putting Donphan on your team as a lead. Not only does he set up rocks, but he spins them as well, helping keep Charizard healthy on the switch. Donphan (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Ice...

Having a strong synergy isn't the only successful thing for a team. How does your team handle specific threats in the current metagame, such as Doryuzuu and Shell Break Cloyster? You can resist as many types as possible, but at the end of the day you actually have to faint your opponents pokemon...

The difference between Naive Fire Blast and Jolly Fire Blast is negligible at best. It is always a clean 2HKO on Physically defensive Skarmory and never a 2HKO on Specially defensive Skarmory regardless of what nature you run. I'd recommend Jolly to provide yourself with slightly better bulk...

I'd suggest running a Bulky Dragon Dance set over your current Gyarados. Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate EVs: 156 HP / 72 Atk / 96 Def / 184 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Dragon Dance - Stone Edge - Taunt - Waterfall Gyarados is a great pokemon, but he can't really sweep...
