I probably misspoke in the description of Latias, but her primary role really isn't sweeping. She is more of an offensive pivot; calm mind is just as good for the special defense buffs as the special attack buffs half the time. But anyway, if I swap for Terrakion, then I have no safe switch in...

Tornadus-T and Thundurus-T and Genesect are pretty lame, but 2 of those will probably be banned shortly.

I'm glad I only got back into competitive mons after excadrill, blaziken, and thundurus were banned.

i'm not alive, i'm just not dead

Thanks for the set, I'll edit the description As far as latios goes I haven't really found him to be too much of an issue; scarf is too weak to seriously threaten TTar or Skarm, and specs can be outsped by mence. Both are really weak to residual damage anyway. Sub on heatran isn't for steels...

aren't you so clever

Hello there, my name is Tastelesshat. A select few may recognize that name, but regardless, it's been a while since I've done competitive battling. When I saw the release of PS on the site, I figured that was a good time to get back into competitive mons. This is one of the two teams I've used...

Definently Metagross. It's bulky, has SR and great typing. I don't run asplosion because I switch Gross into meteors a lot mid-game.

Lucario has many more checks then Empoleon, and people often employ them more because Lucario is used more. Blissey and Vappy may wall Empoleon, but the former is easy to take out given the chance and the latter is rarely used. I also don't like how nobody employs Lucario's massive movepool...

You forget that BECAUSE Luke is the #6 pokemon in OU, people will be expecting him more and will make necessary preperations to stop him, such as running gliscor.

Johnny here, with a bit of spike thrown in. I use the top notch pokes but I try not to use the movesets they use.

If this is true, then the Lucario analysis shouldn't be telling you that Lucario is "arguably the best late game sweeper in OU". Oh, and sorry about the wrong calculation.

A lot of RMTs recently often include Swords Dance Lucario as their late game sweeper. For those who don't know, here is the set: Lucario @ Life Orb Adamant / Jolly Nature 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 6 Hp - Swords Dance - Close Combat - Crunch / Ice Punch / Stone Edge - Extremespeed The main reason that...

Slowbro Lurebro Trick Room Flamethrower Surf / Slack Off HP Electric Item : Leftovers Bold Nature 252 Def / 252 SpAtk / 6HP This set is meant to beat some of it's OU contenders, such as Gyrados and Scizor. With Trick Room, Slowbro can outrun all of these pokemon. Flamethrower OHKO's...
