  4. Hail: More Than Anti-Metagame Idealism

    One thing that's being overlooked here is the fact that a Hail team can benefit from hail, but doesn't necessarily have to RELY on Hail. In fact, in my opinion, relying on Hail is a very bad move considering the prevalence of Abomasnow killing Pokemon (of course, it's important to note that if...
  5. OU CCAT - Mark III (Laddering/Discussing - See Post #547)

    What this team's perfect teammate would currently be is a counter to the rain. With the even greater rain abuse recently, each weather team should have a way to counter rain. I would recommend bulky Rotom-W, as it has become a niche Pokemon for countering rain teams, but due to this it has also...

    Thanks for the full rate. I implemented many of the changes given by everyone. I'll update the thread at a later time (which'll take a lot of updating, threat list and what not) with the changes.
  9. Gen 5 Article Claims/Suggestions

    May I reserve the BW OU Hail Guide? If I can, Harsha will co-write it with me.

    @Expert Physics: True, I have a Rotom-W and Latios weakness. However, switching in a Blissey would ruin my offense on my team. Instead, what if I were to switch Mew for Jirachi with Wish? It should have the same effect. Jirachi's damage output would also be higher, therefore allowing him to fit...
  11. Shedinja Rain! (peaked about #30 on Smogon)

    Hey, nice use of Shedinja, the Pokemon everyone wants to have a stronger, more fun spot on people's teams! One problem I noticed is that you're very weak to stall teams. As you pointed out, your only counter to the pink blobs is Verizion. Instead, I would suggest a Tornadus set more following...

    @DestinyUnknown: I'll try the mixed tornadus also. I've noticed, too, that that was a problem but I didn't really know how to deal with it. @Heinz25: As ThunderBlunder stated, Drizzle + Swift Swim is banned. As Drizzle is just so much more convenient and powerful than Rain Dance. Someone could...

    @ThatsMyLatios: I go over Donphan Ice Shard above, I just kinda like the anti-stallness of knock-off. However, I'm trying both your Tailwind and Ice Beam suggestions. My team has a lot of speed naturally, but I'm sure it'd be useful for breaking/burning Sub DD Gyara, which you go into next. So...

    @Harsha: I'll test out Ice Beam on Mew. I used to run Ice Shard on Donphan, but Knock-off has proved to be an unexpectedly useful move. As for Tornadus, I'll move the HP EVs into defense for stealth rock. @mklo14: Thanks dude! As for the Politoed note, I can't switch the Special Attack EVs into...

    2Stronk Written by: Azotal First You may be wondering who I am and why I'm posting an RMT for my first Smogon post. Well, I've been teambuilding/playing for a very long time, unbeknownst to many players. My three days of experience essentially equates my skill level to that...
