On Toxapex do not run Sludge Bomb - Go for Haze there. You may want to use Baneful Bunker, but frankly Toxapex won't go down to a surprise coverage move with his bulk so Toxic looks good there. Magearna should use Aura Sphere as it offers way better coverage(it hits Steel types SE) and you...

I'm not sure how strong he will be in the Meta, but I see a pretty big weakness to M-Zard X. Once Lando is down he can set-up on a lot of your team and proceed to one-shot. Might be worth running Haze on Toxapex to deal with it and other potential set-up sweepers. I'm running a team with Tapu...

Seems like it'd be a great pokemon to use if you have issues with Tapu Lele/Psychic Spam as an AV Incineroar can rip through Lele and heal up with Leech Life against M-Alakazam who can't OHKO with Focus Blast even if it does hit. I see a lot of teams that are super weak to Lele/M-Alakazam and...

I've been using AV Ninetales on my team and I do see a couple of similarities with strategy, but I can promise you Sandslash isn't worth running. Ice/Steel is just too easy to break past and Sandslash lacks the raw power to break through walls even @ +2. Not to mention that if you find a sly...

I don't know Pixilate. I guess I just see it as a ton of risk and set up(because it isn't just hitting NP on Rai) for not that great of a reward. You basically wind up with an extremely fast, powerful SP.Atkr that is weak to priority. I'm not saying that it is impossible to use, just that it...

It's that there is no area to focus into. Look at the spread, it's super weird. You have a Grass/Ghost with 107/100 attacking stats and the movepool to actually abuse both, but a horrible speed stat meaning you cannot really go for a mixed attacker(and why would you even want to) or a set-up...

Well... Had they not over-nerfed Gale Wings?? Talonflame has a horrible typing too which was only really workable because Gale Wings was just that powerful of an ability. SR wasn't as big of an issue thanks to priority roost for instance. And you could also build him more defensively thanks to...

I'm actually using Decidueye on my team as a check for most Bulky Waters and Grass types as well as his ability to wall most Electric pokemon. His high Sp.Def means that I don't have to freak out about non-STAB Ice Beams(which is something I've always hated about grass types as it's such a...

I've been running A-Raichu and, while I'm not the most experience player, I can definitely say that A-Raichu just has too many issues to set-up on it's own with Nasty Plot. 60/50/80 Def is not hard to get past for any team. I agree it's a huge surprise factor for Raichu and if done successfully...

Update: I'm testing Raikou AV and Defog Crobat

Here is my Machamp rage-quit : http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-213843246 I wish I saved more of these, but it's one of my reasons I love him :D

Update: Replacing Talon with Entei. His natural bulk lets me bring him in multiple times and Sacred Fire Burns are just too much fun! Seems to have much better synergy with the team.

Simple answer is, I'm that guy that likes Dynamic Punch. It's actually a fairly fun pokemon to make use of and most people do NOT respect Machamp when it hits the field. Makes it very easy to surprise OHKO somebody who isn't expecting it - And DP + AV let me 1v1 some of the best counters out...

I'm attempting to use Entei over Talonflame for now. Will update if I like. Here are some replays from Showdown: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-212204763 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-212204333

Updated the team, changes in bold!

Yeah, I don't think Modest Sceptile is a good idea, but SE Machamp has been much better. Running without Knock Off right now,.

Thanks Klefki and everyone! I'll try LO TFlame and give Stone Edge a shot on Champ. Will consider the other changes too!

Hi All! To start with I am just getting into the ORAS OU scene and wanted to introduce my new team which utilizes the coolest of the new ORAS Megas – Sceptile! Aside from Talonflame, who I am open to suggestions on, I wanted a team that doesn’t use standard OU pokemon and had a bit of an...

Thanks for the advice! I'm trying out Assault Vest Azumarill, but missing a bit of the power that was packed in with the CB set. When it comes to Talonflame it's tricky. Technically nothing on the team is switching into it really, but there are some 1v1 considerations to make. Gengar behind a...

Sure thing! I'll be on tonight and can train all your Pokemon pretty quick. Hopefully it's simple spreads >.< Is it alright to PM you when I'm online so we can organize the trades?
