    XY OU Surprisingly effective pick 'n' mix

    I opted against knock off because Crawdaunt provides that, I'll give it a spin. Bug Bite totally passed my mind, so if KO doesn't work out I'll give that a try.

    XY OU Surprisingly effective pick 'n' mix

    Wanted a team around bulky mega scizor but wasn't sure what to go with and in my eagerness to play, I tried to patch together a team. Turns out the team didn't require much alteration before it was usable to a decent standard, although it still needs work Scizor @ Scizorite Ability...

    Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    The solution in my opinion almost certainly involves limiting the amount of pokemon who can use baton pass. By doing this you limit the options BP teams have whilst battling, as you limit their ability to change into other pokemon while keeping boosts. I don't think banning the usage of MB & BP...

    Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (B- and C+ Pokemon discussion)

    Can you give an example of such a scenario, I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly. Charizard is going to mega evolve first turn every time, unless your going into Char-X and against something you know is going to hit you with a dragon move, in this case it's usually better to DD first...

    Who needs defence anyway

    Okay so I'm not the most awesome battler. Gen 5 I did do okay on the ladder, once I understood the meta game better. This gen I'm really struggling to understand what works, and I'm never going to jump onto the Charizard bandwagon (Yeah right). I think I've used a dedicated stall team twice in...

    Mass x Velocity. A Momentum team

    I abstained from Rotom after building the team based on what I already had, although I could in theory swap Thundurus & Tentacruel for Rotom & Gliscor respectively, Gliscor being able to offer the electric immunity as you said. The problem with defog is it's both sides of the field, so I'd have...

    Mass x Velocity. A Momentum team

    After getting trifled by a Volt Switch team, I decided to build my own. Most teams I build rely on momentum so I thought Volt switch would be perfect. I wanted to base a team around scarf Genesect as I think he's pretty overpowered when played properly. I'll try to show team building in the...

    OU Hyper Offensive

    Firstly, there's no such move as 'Dragon Fang' it's an item. Do you mean Dragon claw ? If so, it might be worth switching to outrage if you don't mind being locked in, it's certainly more appropriate as a later game cleaner. Your teams already very fast so I'd advice choice band on Garchomp, max...

    Dipping my toes

    So I thought it was time to dip my toes into 6th gen OU. I was going to wait until I had the safety backup of the wonderful sets smogon provides were published properly but I decided I'd just got in head first. Having watched a few battles and read about a little it seemed to me like Stall was...

    BW2 General Metagame Discussion Thread

    Cheers man, I was around for the SS + Drizzle ban (thank the lord). Is the Metagame totally dominated by rain now ? I mean, unfortunately I missed most of the genesect period, I know before it certainely was.

    BW2 General Metagame Discussion Thread

    After a short 2 month hiatus, I've decided to come back for a bit. Is anyone able to give me a rough overlook as to how the metagame of OU has changed since mid August ? Last time I was playing, Genesect was fairly new, and Garchomp was Uber.

    Genesect

    The problem is finding a slot for it on your team. There's a hoard of sun abusers to use, and you need to fit counters in too, such as insurance against other weathers. Genesect's going to give no help to others weather outside of an Ice beam to possible grass type chlorophyll users, and a...

    BW2 Rain Hyper Offense

    Nice side. You have some trouble with SubCM & Specially defensive Jirachi once your Landorous-T is gone. I'm not really sure what to suggest, as I'm not sure what you would want to change. Magnezone makes a surefire counter, a Specially defensive set with Substitute, Charge Beam, Thunder & HP...

    Seek and Destroy

    Certainely a different side from the usual OU sides, nice change. Two problems. Volcarona is just too effective against your team. Jellicent will have to act as a spin blocker AND a wall against him, so once he's down it becomes difficult for you to do anything. Even worse is Hydregion. The...

    Welcome to the Rebellion (a team by -Rockstar- and Jirachi)

    Possibly THE most solid team I've seen on here, awesome ! Stall's fairly uncommon, now, but I've just started using it for the first time in BW. You don't have huge problems, 3 of your pokes arn't affected by T spikes, and you have solid counters to pretty much all stallers, Hydregion is an...

    Seek and Destroy: 62 games and no loss till now!

    I can see your going to have some problems with Shadow tag Gengar.

    Stall me Maybe

    Cheers guys ! It felt nice to have a change for once, the metagame felt like it was becoming stale. I'll give the suggestions a go. I did orginally plan for Ttar, but my team filled up due to needing a spinner. I'll definately give Foretress a go. I suppose loosing a weakness to electric can...

    Stall me Maybe

    Okay, so I decided I'd try my hand at a little bit of stall. It's my first time using it, but the team's turned out pretty nicely. Unfortunately Zapdos's DW ability isn't released yet, so it's 'No preview OU' for me. Preview: Okay so here goes: Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Iron Barbs...
