If Sableye deserves B, then I believe Murkrow deserves the same. Murkrow has a key immunity with its flying type, not getiing hit by EQs. Also, Murkrow's supporting options are much wider than Sableye--Tailwind, Twave, Featherdance, and Snarl are the few things that Sableye can't do. And IIRC...

Hi, long time lurker here. Just wanted to give my two cents on this Shield Dust business. IMO, I don't see why Shield Dust shouldn't be used. It has a niche, right, and it is not a sun dependent ability, also right. But be reminded that Harvest is only PARTIALLY a sun dependent ability. Let's...

http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/replay/smogondoubles8779297 Me (Florante) vs. Level 51 (One or Two) I'll just note that both of us probably weren't doing our best in the match. Level 51 was probably using an alt to test the team, while I made quite a few mistakes that almost cost me the match...

The thing is, Abomasnow shouldn't be staying in too long anyway. It's vulnerable to the common Scizor, Metagross, Terrakion, Hitmontop, and basically any other faster fighting type, and gets destroyed by basically any fire attack. Since it's a weather starter, you'd usually never want to sack it...

Hail is INCREDIBLY effective in this metagame, I think. I got a match with NidoJosh and Pocket a few times using a laddering alt using my Hail team (#3, Florante! Honestly, I've never gotten a rank nearly as high as that.), and although very close matches, hail still prevailed! I don't really...

There's been an influx of Terrakion+Beat-Up combos lately. Sure, they're a one trick pony, but seriously, it's getting boring, especially since I need to limit my team building to having a surefire counter. Take notes guys: IT DOESN'T WORK. Digressing from that, Thunder Wave is an incredibly...

I completely agree with someone earlier saying that Murkrow is complete boss, though I use a completely different set. Murkrow @ Eviolite Trait: Prankster EVs: 252 SDef / 248 HP / 8 Def Calm Nature - Thunder Wave - Roost - Snarl - Substitute I didn't think I needed Haze because set up sweepers...

Obligatory bump.

DISCHARGANCE A Smogon Doubles team. Hey! I've been lurking the Smogon forums a lot, and I've been competitively battling for around half a year already. Now, I'm making my first post here on the forums with my first RMT. Just recently, I was getting bored of the OU/UU scene, and of singles in...
