Not an alcohol person. As for soft drinks... I'd say the rare Sprite, Pepsi, or Vanilla Coca-Cola. When I used to stay over and my childhood Peruvian friend's place, her family had me try some Inca Cola, which I recall tasting alright. Kinda like bubblegum-flavored soda as Wikipedia put it...

Is your team for WiFi or Shoddy Battle? I'm going to assume Shoddy Battle. Personally, I don't really bother on all-out Hail stalling with Walrein as it is often too slow for my tastes. If you feel similarly, I suggest you take some of my hopefully useful advice into consideration. First...

Just a small nitpick, but Machamp doesn't get Pursuit to my knowledge. It does get Payback however, if that's what you meant. With your current Rotom-F's set, Machamp's Payback can still 2HKO it without burn, and has a chance to 3HKO with burn (assuming its Lum Berry was already consumed), I...

Kingdra is indeed bulky, but I personally feel it best fits the role of staying on the offensive in a Rain team. I agree Kingdra doesn't need Draco Meteor, but the set BidoofTheWise is using it in originates from the original post as the mixed sweeper variant (although I believe they...

I've always utilized at most three Rain Dancers in my teams (one of which is Bronzong equipped with a Damp Rock), and I honestly believe that was more than enough. I'd go as far to say that even using just two is fine, but they'd both have to have a rather high degree of resiliency. Honestly...

Now I'm not the absolute greatest Rain Dance team user (although they're my favorite type of team), but in my experience with them, I find that keeping a continuous offense is the almost always the best way to go. Therefore, I would personally like to avoid wasting a turn of the Rain just to use...

You could always use an Expert Belt in place of a Choice Band. It can help you bluff a Choice item as you're not visible taking damage from a Life Orb, while still hitting relatively hard on anything that isn't neutral/NVE/immune to your chosen attacks. A bit overly specific in usage, but it...

It was consumed, Exclamation Point. I am quite positive that Berserk Gene was was used up. The only reason mine never ran out was 1) I cloned several, and 2) I mostly used it on Pokémon Stadium 2, so it was never consumed permanently. Where's havoc when you need him!? He could settle this...

Man, I had to post again. I am so excited to see this after nearly 10 years. ;_; Also, what's with all the Ash vs. Red disputing? Honestly, does it really matter that much to differentiate their names or about who was modeled after who? It's pretty obvious that when someone mentions either...

I am so glad to hear about this! If they do indeed get their own archipelago (which I think is quite likely), it would be neat if they would finally implement the Orange Islands into the games, just for the heck of it.

Just a small nitpick, but 164 Speed EVs, according to Shoddy (which may be incorrect), claims that Kingdra has 247 Speed.

And those were both in the Anaylsis workshop section. :(

Sorry that I don't have much to add in terms of input, but, shouldn't this be posted in the "Post Creative Movesets/Spreads" thread or in the Analysis Workshop section?

Just felt like throwing this in: Have you considered Lickilicky over Snorlax? It can work as a nice utility Pokemon with Knock Off, Wish, and Heal Bell. It also packs Swords Dance, Gyro Ball (with its paltry base 50 Spe), and the strongest Explosion in the game to go along with your theme.

Thank you. Does Intimidate make up for those loss in Def EVs, though?
