  1. An Oddity

    Hi, nice team. I only have one small suggestion and that is changing one of Swampert's moves (probably hammer arm) for roar as this works well in tandem with Whimsiscott's encore. This gives you the critical option of phazing set up sweepers that you may not be able to eliminate immediately.
  2. Wait...mixed metagross. You trolling?

    To cover your Reuniclus problem, I suggest switching Ferrorthorn for Scizor. This team seems fairly offensive and the pace is really only weighed down by ferrothron. Also, not having a spin blocker can prove futile for having these different entry hazards. I recommend trying out this set...
  3. Sun Team (OU) - Moment For Life -

    Nice team. I suggest dropping calm mind for rest and adding a chesto berry to Ninetales for survivability. This also allows you keep your weather alive longer. Your team has a large weakness to dragons in general so I suggest dropping psychic on Cresselia for ice beam.
  4. the beast still lives( shut down stall )

    Nice team. I just have a few nitpick suggestions. For Tyranitar, I suggest using chesto berry over lum berry to guarantee that you can pull at least one good rest off. Heatran can switch into wisps and toxics anyways. Tyranitar doesn't mind being paralyzed. For Tentacruel, change black sludge to...
  5. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Legend of the Nine Tailed Beast

    Nice team. For the most part, I found it hard to change parts of the team without changing the core but one suggestion I do have is replacing Chansey with Vaporeon to better handle Politoed and friends. Below is the standard set, but seeing that you have Skarmory, I suggest changing the bold set...
  6. Wonderguard evades the Attack!

    Nice team; I like the Shedinja. Instead of Donphan, I would test a more offensive spinner with Starmie: move 1: Rapid Spin move 2: Surf move 3: Ice Beam / Thunder move 4: Recover item: Leftovers / Life Orb ability: Natural Cure nature: Timid evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Starmie gives you...
  7. Latias, the Forgotten One (an OU RMT)

    Hey, nice team concept. For Latias, I suggest running recover over roost because roost makes you susceptible to earthquakes as you temporarily lose your levitate ability. I also think that taunt would be a better option over protect as it stops walls trying to set up hazards or status you. Good...
  8. Rising Sun Team (Gen V Drought Team)

    Although Sawsbuck is a fairly good sweeper in the sun, it's frailty comparmises the effectiveness of your team. Also, the lack of a fighting resist that isn't Volcorona (4x stealth rock weakness) doesn't help either. I suggest putting in Venasaur instead: name: Mixed Growth move 1: Growth move...
  9. Cicadas In The Summer (Peaked #4)

    Hey, great team. I really like the rare use of Shedninja. Looking at Hitmontop, I was wondering if you had considered running Foreseight over stone edge? It would help against ghost types that try to block you and allow for some more Close combat spam.
  10. Haxed and Drenched in the Rain (OU RMT)

    Nice team. If you are hesitant about superpower, I would suggest either roost or brick break. In my opnion, roost would be the superior option as you can then better handle Specs Latios (which can be a real threat due to lack of recovery and your two dragons). Brick break is useful for screens...
  11. [Gen 5] Weatherless in the Weather Whored Gen

    Hey, nice team. You mentioned being let down by Infernape's base speed, so I suggest switching him for a scarf Darmanitan. Even without a band, an adamant version rivals Infernape (it has about 20 less attack points) in power and manages to outspeed it with a speed of 434 with a scarf(might want...
  12. As I Walk Through This Metagame In The Shadow Of Gen V

    Okay, that's a little embarrassing but people learn through mistakes. Anyways, your Gyrados's nature and ev spread are still bugging me. In the description, you mentioned wantning to focus more on special defense. I looked into the smogon set and found this: Gyrados Nature:careful ev...
  13. UU Balance by ShinyAzelf (Peaked #27 on Smogon University)

    If Xatu really isn't pulling its weight with screens, a psycho shift+flame orb trick might work in crippling that Crustle you occasionally have to deal with. It also stops problematic pokemon like Hitmontop cold (or at least it forces people to switch to clerics that Weavile can handle).
  14. As I Walk Through This Metagame In The Shadow Of Gen V

    I would suggest keeping mach punch as it is still useful in clipping off Tyranitars and weakened pokemon in general. The priority helps in a pinch when faced off a sand throw Mole or otherwise. Another option I recently discovered is that Hitmontop can also use magic coat (according to...
  15. As I Walk Through This Metagame In The Shadow Of Gen V

    Is there anything the jolly nature on Gyrados is doing for you? If not, I would suggest a careful or adamant nature (depending on whether you want power or defense). Depending on how much you think you need the power, I would suggest changing close combat on Hitmontop for toxic to cripple walls...
  16. Under the Sun, We Were Gods (Peaked at #34)

    Have you considered using psycho shock Exeggutor? It can use calm mind as opposed to growth and abuse sun with chlorophyll like Tangrowth/Victreebell. So, I would suggest it over Victreebell. It puts you at even more odds with Houndoom, but I couldn't see another answer (you could always...
  17. My Team, or something like that... (OU RMT)

    Nitpick: change bold on Skarm for impish so brave bird does more.
  18. 'Team Awful' - The OU Team

    Nice team. I think you should switch Skarmory's special defense evs to defense for a few reasons 1) In order for your team to reliably face off wth Sd Lucario, Band Tar, Scizor, you need max defense 2) the common special attacks: ice beam, thunderbolt, flamethrower are already taken care of by...
  19. It's rainin', it's pourin', the old man is snorin'.

    Hi, nice team. I really can't think of major changes at the moment, but I do have a small suggestion. Seeing as you have four other rain dancers, how about giving Kingdra Dragon dance? This will maintain your mixed sweeping prowess and give a more definite stat boost that will allow for a sweep...
  20. That is Irrelevant.

    I don't think you thoroughly read the post; Quagsire gets THe SAME EXACT MOVES at the cost of 5 base defense. Water absorb will allow you set rocks on Crocunes/phaze them out. It can even help phaze Gyras without taunt. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Note that you should run ice punch(not...
