Apologies, I thought there was a suitable discussion in the terms of counters and weaknesses.

I like a challenge, haha. Majority of my battles are Free on Wi-Fi sure, but I've had my fair share of competitive teams.I'll probably consider Suicune over Vaporeon at some point but we'll see...(not that Suicune is really Uber suited either but hey). But yes Yveltal does a poor job of...

I always carry a Sylveon on my team as well as Vaporeon and no Yveltal I've faced yet has managed to scratch it. Moonblast does serious damage to this thing, Ice Beam also puts a dent in it, and none I've met have had anywhere near the power to fight back. I expect most Yveltal users are generic...

I run a Calm Mind sylveon and as long as it can survive a turn or two it does fine. Shadow ball is definitely needed for types like Chandelure, steel-types (god forbid but it does happen), and fire types. Calm Mind sylveon often puts blissey at about/nearly half at +4 or +5 which is usually...

Its not switching in to moonblast but garchomp is faster and poison jab does a ton of damage.

Ninetales is running quite well with this now, I tried running flamethrower, hiddenpowerice, solarbeam and psyshock. It is easily countered by decent physical attacks, especially earthquake and rock types however but it is rather versatile. Now is the 1.5 special defense worth dropping hypnosis?

Ah, everything is working fine but all the fields are blank in trades. Must be something odd happening, I have no other internet connections set up.

Yeah I was just wondering since Glaceon picks it up, wishful thinking I guess. You haven't included counters for sylveon in the first post, but at the moment it really struggles against steel types even with shadow ball. Metagross, Forretress and Aegislash do heavy damage to it with any steel...

I'm guessing Sylveon doesn't pick up destiny bond as an egg move?

"Braviary used Brave Bird!" "Braviary is hurt by recoil." "Braviary lost some of its HP." Oddly using air slash does NOT initiate Life Orb damage? EDIT: Superpower does initiate damage.

Looks like Sheer Force + Life Orb doesn't work anymore, a shame. EDIT: Thats what I thought, thanks, but I don't know if I want to drop Superpower. Rock slide and brave bird is going to be absorbed by any rock or steel type.

Does whirlwind have much competitive use? I was running RockSlide/BulkUp/BraveBird/Superpower Braviary in Black and White, wondered if I should repeat this but considering whirlwind for those annoying swords dance etc. spamming teams. Or maybe Defog even but as if spikes are a concern, its more...

Well when its your last pokemon its not like you have a choice is it ^^. Would be nice if having aggron last wasn't a guaranteed loss against such pokemon.

I can't run head smash with sturdy though. I like being able to take out those annoying charizards, talonflames and blazikens in one hit and deal at least 50% to everything but shuckle and aegislash shield.

Hmm...so my aggron is struggling right now a bit. Chesnaught hammer arm is OHKOing it, and so is Mega Mewtwo X aura sphere. Any advice on items? It has a quick claw right now, but I wonder if focus sash is better off.
