  1. Scotch Woodcock (OU)

    (The shortening for Stealth Rock is SR, not SE.) Some things first: #1: Remove the HP EVs on Azelf. You can go max Speed actually, since you might find yourself in the position where winning a Speed tie will win you the battle. Put the rest in Special Attack. Explosion will already do enough...
  2. Just another offensive team (peaked at #19)

    I won't rate your movesets actually, since you being #19th on the leaderboard is proof enough that they work, and also that you (at least to some degree ;D) have some clue about what you're doing. However, I find that you'll be utterly pounded from behind in the face of a DD Salamence. In fact...
  3. Standard Team

    I think that in the face of Suicide Azelf and Infernape, people tend to forget that they both have access to Nasty Plot, and therefore has not true counter for it, besides those carrying Blissey. But, you don't need Grass Knot. A Timid Azelf with Life Orb and a Nasty Plot up does 100% minimum to...
  4. Glitched Weather in English Platinum [Part 2, Clearer Video] (Update March 18, 2009)

    It's happened to be as well, and then my Fire-type moves were weakened, so I think it's safe to say that this "killer-rain" works as normal rain, but also inflicts damage as Sandstorm would. When I battled I noticed that the damage from the "killer-rain" did not inflict damage on Steel, Ground...
  5. Sprecke Die Deutsch?

    Ja, Ich spreche Deutsch. Now, on to your team; Magnezone suck at trapping Steels. The only one he can trap and kill is Skarmory, and if Skarm carries Shed Shell, even that won't work out. Against Bronzong and Forretress, you do not kill them with Thunderbolt, and they smack you with their...
  6. (OU/RMT) New to all of Competitive pokemonishness.

    If Hippowdon fails you as a lead Pokémon, just switch his place with a different Poké on your team. Rhyperior has a great Defense, but his weakness to the ever-common Ground and Fight as well as having two 4x-types cripples his walling abilities. I'd say Hippowdon is better han Rhyperior, so...
  7. An attempt at a viable OU hail team.

    Well, actually, I kinda contradicted myself (twice, in fact xD). Basically, my idea was that you should use my suggested Abomasnow-set as a lead, which I think he does quite well, but if you didn't want to use that set, you should go for a different lead, and save Abomasnow for later. The Sassy...
  8. An attempt at a viable OU hail team.

    I saw this other Hail-team the other day, where the player wasn't using Abomasnow as the lead, and I thought that that's a brilliant idea. As it is now, only Walrein needs Hail in order to work properly, while the rest is better without, really (except for the move Blizzard, obviously). Saving...
  9. Dray says: what about your great grandchicken

    Looks like a cool team, but let's have a look! I'm generally very sceptical to Scarfed Sleepers. While being annoying, it will in most cases be very obvious to the opponent that you are scarfed, meaning they will stay in and wait for the Sleep to end, while you have to switch out. Breloom is a...
  10. (OU/RMT) New to all of Competitive pokemonishness.

    For Donphan, give it 252 HP instead of Attack, so that you live a bit longer. Donphan generally wants to be as bulky as Possible, since his job is to take hits, not dish them out. Hippowdon or Swampert arguably does such a set better, and if you find Zapdos being a problem; simply give either...
  11. OU TOXIC STALL-An attempt at variation by The Fury AKA iKitsune

    Just know that stall-teams always will carry their own Poison-type to absorb Toxic Spikes, and often also a Cleric to heal those who had to take the Status. Offensive teams that doesn't care enough to carry a Spinner or a Poison-Poké generally packs a lot of those blasphemy mentioned, meaning...
  12. Sexy Hail Team

    For a Choice Item, Band will be the best, as if you haven't got the chance to Trick it, you can still do something heavy with Bronzong. Scarf is pretty useless, and only weakens Gyro Balls power. Brightpowder is also an item you are allowed to use, I think, Evasion Clause only bans Evasion...
  13. Sexy Hail Team

    Oh, truly awesome pictures! Iron Ball can be found on Shoddy Battle, you just have to chose "Smogon University" and not "Standard Metagame" when you press "New Team"! ;) However, I would not have used that item. Firstly, with Levitate as your ability, you're both weak to Fire and Ground (and...
  14. RMT--OU--Offensive and Defensive

    So.. since there's not possible to counter everything, you made a team that tries to... counter everything? O.o I don't really know what to rate here, as it's 6 standard OUs with standard sets. The only things I would change are; 1) Charge Beam > HP Electric, easily. Adamant Life Orb Gyarados...
  15. Smogon Tournament #5 - Round 1 (Includes Predictions Tournament)

    If you don't mind, that sentence kinda reveals parts of my team.. Can you please edit? And gg, unfortunate that hax took its toll in our battle.
  16. The Raging Desert: Second attempt

    Damn, I was writing this long-ass rate here, and my PC suddenly shut down ._. I will try to make some short thoughts, however; I don't find your Tyranitarlead to be very much effective. These days setup-leads like Bronzong, Hippowdon and Forretress are everywhere, and you can't do anything to...
  17. UU 'Bulky Offense' Team - Peaked #4

    I am not very familiar with UU, but I will try to give some thoughts; Firstly, your threat-list. I don't find Kangaskhan much of a big threat. Focus Punch manages a maximum of 41% from the SubPunch-set. A CBer can be very dangerous, but with some prediction, that can be handled. For Regice...
  18. Hail (Offensive + Stall) - RMT

    For Abomasnow to take on both Tyranitar and Hippowdon, you want Blizzard as well as Wood Hammer. You'll also need Life Orb in order to kill both. With a Naughty Nature and 240 Attack / 124 SpAtt, you OHKO both of them with WH/Blizzard respectively. You then have 144 Speed EVs left, which gives...
  19. A real attempt after being tutored!

    Just allow me to give some thoughts to some of panamaxis' ideas; True, but Infernape will have a very hard time entering the field in the first place, as every Poké is capable of OHKOing him, and even when it does, it has no way of passing Cresselia, really, as a Mild 252 Spatt Life Orb...
