    A Basic Team - Needing Help!

    Hi, being adult doesn't prevent one from getting screwed by younger players ;) I assume this is for 3v3 singles ? At first, you're right, most of your pokemon are rather weak contenders in the world of competitive play. Darmanitan is usable, but especially since yours is rather slow because of...

    Gen V 1 vs 1 Metagame

    Thanks for your feedback. Sure this has its counters - but who doesn't ? This Set is especially useful vs. slower opponents and most trolls, but it can be handled easily by something fast and very offensive like say - Scarf Haxorus or CB Letarking. But that's simply the game, you can't beat...

    The Most Complete and Comprehensive Guide to Balanced Hackmons

    One thing, why Simple Beam instead of Gastro Acid to suppress the opposing ability ? Maybe I'm missing something out, but there might be a slight chance, that the opposing pokemon could make something useful out of Simple, which could be avoided by using Gastro Acid.

    Gen V 1 vs 1 Metagame

    One set I've used recently with the most success "Trapdoor" Hydreigon@Dragon Gem -Taunt -Draco Meteor -Flamethrower | Earth Power | Dark Pulse -Flamethrower | Earth Power | Dark Pulse Slot 3&4 depend on the sets, that a currently played, which is changing a lot at most times. Runs well vs...

    Creative sets in the BH metagame. BAD GIMMICKS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

    Since I had my fun with it..i might as well contribute it Excadrill Move 1: Stealth Rock Move 2: Nature Power Move 3: Metal Burst Move 4: Destiny Bond Item: Focus Sash Ability: Prankster Nature: Brave (+Att -Spd) 0 Spd Evs & Ivs I'm always a big fan of sets that hold the opportunity to...

    Wifi Singles Team

    I would recommend Earth Power/some HP > Stealth Rock on Heatran, since Rocks are a dead slot during most games. Sure you might significantly weaken Draggy, Volcarona or the opponent's Sash user with it, but during the majority of games it simply does 2x (sometimes resisted) damage, since in GBU...

    1v1 RMT

    I've seen this set quite frequently on the 1on1 ladder and I consider this a overall shaky tactic to say the least. It might catch some people by surprise, as most troll sets do, but since it has several weaknesses vs. common 1v1 Threats and wouldn't expect it to run effectively over time. It is...

    The Most Complete and Comprehensive Guide to Balanced Hackmons

    great article, gj ;) there are a few things that come to my mind - on the Unware Sweeper Lugia, Leech Seed might be an option > Roost, simply to prevent it from becoming complete imposter bait. Since Imposters usually sport a higher base hp, it gives Lugia an edge over them. Magic Coat or Spore...

    Garchomp move 1: Stealth Rock move 2: Gravity move 3: Nature Power move 4: Taunt / Heart Swap item: Leftovers ability: Prankster nature: adamant This is a Chomp set I tried out for a while as my SR Lead, and it turned out to work quite nice. Prankster Nature Power is nothing new, and mostly...

    Creative sets in the BH metagame. BAD GIMMICKS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

    HJK's up in power would be a nice feat for sure, but makes this set even more vulnerable to Giratina than it already is, especially when the opponent already knows the set from previous games. Cross Chop on the other hand lets me attack with less care and doesn't risk the excellent (and often...

    Creative sets in the BH metagame. BAD GIMMICKS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

    Hi, since I got the request to leave something here, I will do so :) This are three sets from my current BH Team, which all have been quite effective, IMO creative and caught (more than) a few people by surprise. Ferrothorn move 1: Gyroball move 2: Stealth Rock move 3: Copycat move 4: Haze...

    Gengar

    I've been running Gengar (timid 252/252) with Protect/Shadow Ball/Icy Wind/Taunt in my IC Marchteam, which did have its moments. It has especially nice synergy with Chomp, since it does not only ignore EQ, but also opens (faster) Dragons (Lati@s, opposing Chomp etc.) to a deadly Dragon Claw hit...

    The Rotation Battle Metagame (GBU)

    I have played a decent of rotation matches by now, and from my experiences I can't second these thoughts. First Focus Sash can't be reused, if you don't Recycle it, since the item is gone after one use. Sturdy, however, is reusable if supported with Wish. Sure battles seem longer than single or...

    American Terrorist

    I've tested the team a bit by myself and found it pretty impressive, especially since I'm a big fan of Lanturn anyway ;) I think one thing from the original post has been a bit overlooked IMO, the idea of replacing Terrakion with Scarf Infernape. Sure, (Belt)Keldeo is a better pokemon choice in...

    2013 Winter Friendly

    Most people avoid those moves in rotation, for the reasons you stated yourself. Outrage might be viable on a cleaner set to better break through opposing physical bulky things, and could be used once the opposing dragon resists are dealt with. Just make sure, your Chomp, Mence or whatever...

    The Rotation Battle Metagame (GBU)

    No, I don't think so. TR is usually not a dominant force in rotation battles, since most rota teams run a very dense defensive coverage, which is usually enough to soak up most of TRs offense if you predicted not too badly. In addition nearly every teams runs some kind of control elements like...

    Kyurem-B

    Looks like Kyurem-B might work out pretty well in tandem with Scarf/Specs Zoroark + Flamethrower, since it may lure Steels in and score surprise KOs, opening the opposing team for the big black dragon's sweep. Both weak to Mach Punch is kinda disappointing, but outside of that, it might be worth...
