Playstyle: often balanced, but I tend to lean towards face-paced offense.
Accomplishments: I've beaten a few famous people (Earthworm,...

Sadly, I have to let go of my Raikou reservation. I can say the lead (posted by SDS for 4th gen) set and Rash Calm Mind (with Aura Sphere) work well, since I did extensive testing on those 2 sets. I...

I have my doubts about Offensive Healer set. It's not sticking around long to heal statuses, being SR weak and lacking Roost. Without Roost, Chansey can outstall you, as it is barely a 3HKO with Aura...

Scizor's Bullet Punch can't KO Omastar at -1; it does 65.3% - 76.9%, but it's like Salamence v. Scizor again. Omastar will always survive SR + 1 Life Orb recoil and Scizor's Bullet Punch, but will...

Swellow wouldn't be a great status absorber. If it gets in on Thunder Wave, it's permanently screwed. Pursuit is a novelty, as Scarf Rotoms will outrun and KO you with anything but Shadow Ball. Brave...

Swampert is no longer excellent. It's a set-up bait for Gyarados, many new anti-leads beat it (Dragonite and Machamp), and the list goes on.

A big no on using Counter or Shadow Claw for Lucario....

With Machamp gone and Shaymin weakened (and a bit for Gliscor), Mamoswine eats your team alive. It's not commonly seen, but you'll lose 100% if you run into one.

"vgc 10 tournament"? I'm not a creative person either.

Edit: I'm not so familiar with VGC rules, are we allowed to change an item on a pokemon as long as it abides the item clause?
