I never said Aggron was a check for Tauros, damn, Aggron typing makes it a terrible poke to try check things... I only said it could survive a Tauros' hit. Also, I run a Trick Room team, so the extra bulk is quite useful indeed, and this is the set I have familiarity. As I said, most of what I...

I found out that too. Running more HP EVs (212 EVs, since someone said in this thread Chand only needed speed to outspeed uninvested Suicune) in Chand makes it bulky enough to take some hits the classical 252/252 spread couldn't. But even with the boost in its bulkness a single switch into...

The deal with Tauros is avoiding LO recoil to keep a higher durability, and if with Rock Climb I already missed some damage, I wouldn't have a nice experience with Return. Also, CB max Atk Adamant Aggron's Heavy Slam (only set that is worth running max HP) has a better chance of KOing Naive...

Well, it seems that fortunately for me I had only experiences with CP Sigyliph, so I may be wrong in this since I never faced a Life Orb set, to be sincere. Also, CP set can work quite well against stall, because it is the kind of team that gives more time to it setup, even though they packs a...

Right now I'm testing an offensive Nidoqueen in this spot (thanks to you guys giving some ideas I got the courage to run the team again) and is doing quite well, even though I miss someone that can absorb sleep or could deal with Smeargle. I never really liked Sceptile, it always seemed to me...

Since I missed the whole S-rank discussion, I'll join the A-rank: TOP Absol, Gallade, Smeargle, Kabutops, Durant, Rotom-N, Rotom-C, Cinccino 130 base attack makes Absol the best Pursuit trappers of the tier, while still packing strong Sucker Punch and Superpower, anduntil something drops from...

Aerodactyl seems a good idea, mainly because I prefer my last resource being faster with a Scarf than the majority (if not all) of Scarfers of the tier, giving me a chance to deal with +1 Speed pokemon too, and even +2, since these will most of the times KO my TR setuppers. Even though, Cinccino...

Nice team, this team of yours. Whirlpool in Politoed seems really good, especially because Poli have Perish Song, something Fire Spin Ninetales dream to have. So, I would work around this Politoed of yours. With Whirlpool you can trap a lot of things that wouldn't be able to damage your...

Dusknoir seems a good idea, since it can be a way to set Trick Room facing a Durant, something all my psychics can't. But the problem is which pokemon Dusknoir would take the place... Uxie is a must since it can either set Trick Room and Stealth Rock, Slowking is my main answer to Steelix and...

Since there isn't many people around here I'll say a little about the sets I saw here. I'll be really straight forward, the set I liked the most is sfgiantsfanmike's Gravity set. Gravity is even less common than Trick Room, and still is a great "weather" move. Also, Gravity can be a nice...

May I restart the challenge with another nick? Medicham really needs the help of some S rank to succed in the metagame (specially Snorlax, Heracross and Crobat), and without them in almost every role you try (LO sweeper, wallbreaker, Scarf sweeper) I found another pokemon doing that role better...

Since you mentioned me, I'll say some things here. I already used Flame Charge Chandelure, and it is kinda mediocre: yeah, after a Flame Charge it can reach the speed of a Scarf set, and it get Life Orb boost or Leftovers recovery, but using Flame Chage with Chandelure is almost like spinning...

I've been using Chandelure since I first met the tier. 145 SAtk BP is extremely high for any tier at all (no pokemon in OU can reach a higher SAtk, while Thundurus-T can tie), but what make Chandelure not broken is its speed. Without a Scarf even Nidoking can outspeed it, and thanks to Stealth...

Wow, weather teams outside OU isn't common at all, even more a non-Hail one! So, let me see what I can say about your team: Tornadus won't be taking a lot of hits, while it don't like the speed drop of Hammer Arm; this said Superpower instead of Hammer Arm seems a lot better, since after a...
