With VoltTurn's increasing prevalence and domination of UU, I've been trying to make a team that is strong against that archetype, as well as standing up as a team on its own. Team: Hippowdon @ Leftovers Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SpD Impish Nature - Stealth...

A team I actually played and tested before posting! Teambuilding. I started out with Cobalion and Haxorus, as the UU matchmaking thread's first winner was a pair between Cobalion and Mega-Sceptile, but I wanted to use Scarf Haxorus instead due to mold breaker, and some mild success I had...

Hello friends. While I myself am not the strongest battler, I frequent this thread chain a lot, to try and learn the most I can from what makes certain teams, and certain combinations good. So, unlike some of you who are already recognized and renowned battlers, I'm using this more as a testing...

Overview ######## With access to Hyper Voice, Gardevoir has received new relevance in VGC 2015 as a strong and powerful Mega Evolution with good typing and decent stats. With two excellent abilities in Trace and Telepathy, Gardevoir can use similar sets that can work very differently on...

Overview ######## Altaria's Mega Evolution gives it good stats and an amazing new ability in Pixilate, but the metagame around it has many answers for it or better options to use. However, poor Defense and HP plague the other two Pixilate users, while Mega Altaria's amazing 110 Defense and 105...

So I've found this team is pretty solid! But as you guys are the experts, I was wondering if you saw any glaring weaknesses in the team that maybe I didn't. Teambuilding: This team was originally created in the days of Black and White 1 based around Kyogre, but as Genesect was banned to...

Overview ######## Clawitzer is a strange Gen VI pokemon that has been overlooked due to its underwhelming stats. It's mediocre 71 base HP is barely compensated by 88 and 89 Defense and Special Defense, and it's strange 59 speed puts it in an awkward mid-zone that has it far too slow for...

I have little to say about this team, really. I'd just love to know what more experienced battlers think of it. I made this team in Gen 5, and have been replacing the pokemon as the Gen 6 meta has been evolving. At one time or another this team held Keldeo, Thundurus, Thundurus-T...

After adding AV Tyranitar to my team, happy about the Sp. Def boost he gets in the sand, and thrilled at the combination of AV, hopefully tanking special hits and surprising the opponent with an unsuspected kill form a poke they assumed out of the question. However, I've noticed that my lack of...

I find a lot of times, the Strategy Pokemon suggestions posted on here are taken as gospel. I know I've personally gotten questions, running a Choice Band Kyurem-Black, 'Eeyore, the hell, man? That isn't on Smogon!' Well, random stranger who I just owned, Smogon Pokedex is amazing, but not...

So seeing how evasion has been implemented as a trial in Ubers, I wanted to try it out. However, there are only really 2 sets that work. One involves Sandstream and Sand Veil. Essentially just Hippowdon AND T-Tar, Hippo Defensive, and T-Tar offensive, both having Sand Stream, and Garchomp...
