    SS OU Balance with Counter Kommo-O

    I went into the SwSh meta building a team just... trying out some new stuff and eventually tried to shape it into a team and this is what I ended up with - a team of mostly returning Pokémon. When building this team I was trying to avoid the "hyper meta" picks but now that I'm really trying to...

    Simple Questions/Requests - Mark 29 (Minor Pokemon Trades, Item Requests, etc GO HERE)

    I'm looking for a Rough Skin Gible, preferably female. Nature, IVs, EVs, moves do not matter. I have HA (and non) Frogadiers, Fletchinders, Heracross, Quilladins, Wartortles, and more (though mostly poor). Also FS Dittos and Y exclusives such as Skrelp.

    CAP 16 CAP 5 - Part 10 - Movepool Limits

    I see no reason to deviate from the chart, honestly. As long as we don't pick a ridiculously overpowered movepool then there's no harm in the 40/85 limit. Malaconda has a lot of details, so giving it a decent non-VGM limit (30/75 maybe) might give movepool designers some freedom. And you have to...

    CAP 16 CAP 5 - Part 10 - Non-Attacking Moves Discussion

    Detect/Protect: Allow Moreso Protect than Detect, since Detect is just inferior Protect. Almost every single pokemon gets Protect, and it hasn't yet shown itself to ever be broken. Perhaps Sub/Protect Gliscor is about as bad as Protect ever gets. With that in mind, I don't think Malaconda will...

    False Prediction (OU Balanced Surprise)

    Why would Ferrothorn be staying in on Heatran? Isn't that suicidal? As for Focus Blast => Sludge Wave, I'll give it a go. I really don't like Focus Blast's accuracy.

    False Prediction (OU Balanced Surprise)

    False Prediction - An Underused Sets Team Back in the far long reaches of the Genesect Era, I created a team called "Malprediction". It was a modest success. Now, in this Tornadus-T free, Genesect free, possibly Deo-D free metagame, I decided to make a new version of the team, since the old...

    My newest team!

    Nitpick: On Garchomp, Fire Blast will normally do more damage as most steel types are physically defensive naturally (with the exception of Jirachi), and it has a much higher base power. Obviously, adjust nature to -spdef to match. Also, use Earthquake. It's so much more powerful it's unreal.

    Ou Eeveelution

    Okay, it's not particularly competitive, but I'll say somethings: Flareon is a very bad pokemon. Like, VERY bad. It has a nice attack stat (which you aren't utilizing because of the movepool), but it otherwise has no impressive stats. There are just so much better pokemon that could perform...

    Snorlax? In my OU?

    Some interesting pokemon here. Firstly, on Staraptor I would use Reckless instead of Intimidate. It powers up brave bird and close combat, whereas his defenses are so low that Intimidate really isn't much good. Staying with Staraptor, I'd use a Sharp Beak or Choice Band. Obviously, Sharp Beak...

    Wonderful Ninjary, good sir. Bug. Ghost. Thing.

    Updated OP with the following changes: Terrakion => Landorus-T (Better counter to physical threats all-round) Espeon => Latias (Starmie can spin, don't need to bounce. Helps counter sun) Ferrothorn's Stealth Rock => Power Whip (Stealth Rocks going up more reliably with Land-T) Starmie's EV...

    Wonderful Ninjary, good sir. Bug. Ghost. Thing.

    Okay, can you explain why to swap Ferrothorn to Skarmory? Since they both get up spikes (Ferrothorn probably more reliably) and Skarmory does little to heal the fire weakness... Jellicent to Heatran would gouge a hole in my defensive core. Jellicent is already resistant to fire, but gives vital...

    Wonderful Ninjary, good sir. Bug. Ghost. Thing.

    The reason I have a bouncer and Stamie, is because once the hazards go up, it isn't always easy to bring Starmie in to spin them away. As a result, I've found it better to try and keep them off in the first place. Will definitely try some of the changes though - thanks! EDIT: It feels that...

    Wonderful Ninjary, good sir. Bug. Ghost. Thing.

    This is a pretty old team of mine, and in fact I think I might have posted it pre-Garchomp and yet... it still works. Whilst not obviously stally, this team has some major defensive assets to work with, as well as some offensive prowess. Onto the team. Team Building Process It may be a...

    Never Melt Ice ou Sun team starign kyruem-b and volcanora

    I quite like Sun Kyurem-B, but I've always found that Hidden Power Fire is a great choice for it. It allows you to OHKO Skarmory, Forretress (through Sturdy, in both cases), and not-specially defensive Ferrothorn, as well as stopping threats such as Scizor from switching in anywhere close to as...

    Baton Pass + Stored Power

    I think Lum Berry as an item on Breloom is fine, however, I'd swap Superpower>Earthquake on Dnite My biggest bug with this team is that Espeon would benefit far more from a special attack raise over a swords dance, and the lack of ability to hit psychic types such as Celebi, Deoxys-D and...

    Rain... Original?

    Okay. Why have you used so few attack EVs on Scizor? In addition, Dragonite is not a fast pokemon. Using speed EVs on it seems wasteful, as it'll still be outsped by the vast majority of things. I'd swap the speed EVs into health EVs. I'd also go with roost over hidden power ground. In...

    Kyurem-B + Deoxys-D team

    Nice to see another player using defensive Kyur-B. Can you explain your EV spread please? It's quite a strange one. I just used 52/252/204 hp/def/spd on my tank Kyur-B. In addition, on Deoxys-D I'd swap Night Shade for Stealth Rocks. SR is a really important move for things like Dragonite and...
