I think there are better ways to run with this sort of OU-in-ubers theme, and to be honest I find it unlikely this is a reasonably competitive team in ubers. I don't really just want to completely...

Generally, I start with either a style (bulky offense, stall, semistall, hyper offense, etc.) or an individual Pokemon I want to use, then pick the other based on the first. E.g. if I want to base a...

Jirachi's ground weakness makes it difficult to fit into this team because it's not fast (by special HO standards) and doesn't deal out damage quickly. I think you can build special-heavy teams which...

Yeah I would just like to confirm: 244 Atk vs 130 Def & 714 HP (120 Base Power): 630 - 744 (88.24% - 104.20%) That's 0 attack Naive Infernape vs. fully physically bulky Bliss, and it's a OHKO after...

I haven't drafted so maybe I shouldn't opine, but my thoughts on the proposals are: * I don't really like the idea of a trade phase because it expands your options, which is precisely what draft...

I've used SD Feraligatr on a semi-RD team and it works okay, but it's nothing particularly exciting because of the coverage and having only 105 base Attack. DD may work better if the lowish power...

Physical HO isn't necessarily a guaranteed win against stall since most stall teams are basically built to shut you down with 4-5 physical walls, including guys with phazing ability (Skarm, Gyarados,...

Blissey is not that big a problem because there are so many Pokemon you want to run anyway (Azelf, Gengar, Infernape, Heatran, etc.) that kill her. Tyranitar is tough because it has a resistance to...
