    Breloom [GP 2/2]

    I fully agree with alexwolf. Bulk Up is one of Breloom's best sets, imo. It can tear apart entire teams if played correctly and works well against sand, rain and stall teams.

    Sail Away On Teary Seas (BW2 OU)

    Bump, according to the rules: I changed the team around considerably after quite a bit of testing. And ended up replacing Forretress, Thundurus-T and Mew. Gives a new quality to the team. It has quite a nice win rate, but I'm sure there's room for improvement, so I'd like to hear your thoughts...

    Dragonite Cleanup [QC: 0/3]

    I might deserve a look, though I think Dragonite is suffering from moveslot syndrome as it is and Ice Punch has downright horrible coverage alongside Outrage/Dragon Claw. It might not OHKO Gliscor, but I never had a problem with the flying bat, always beating it one on one at +1 (obviously...

    Creative (and good) Movesets (READ THE OP FIRST)

    This seems rather situational to me. While you might be killing Gliscor, and that being a nice boon for Breloom, that's about where the usefulness of Hidden Power Ice stops. Garchomp is Uber and Flygon is next to never seen in OU while Offensive Salamence outspeeds and kills you. I think you're...

    No pain, no gain.

    Hey there. Nice team. You mention that rain is giving you trouble (I think bulky Water types in general could be bothersome) and Gastrodon walls your entire team. Now, as Asek suggested, Bulk Up Breloom works wonders against rain Teams as it can set up on most of their defensive pivots such as...

    Sail Away On Teary Seas (BW2 OU)

    Thanks for the rate. I'll try it out, as it seems like quite an interesting idea. Losing a set up sweeper might hurt though (especially against sun teams), but I'll see. I found that Rotom-W can give me quite some trouble still, especially if they're not choiced as Hydro Pump hurts a lot in...

    3 Dragons, a magnet, a blob... and a mollusk :o

    i would also agree on changing Cloyster to offensive Spinner Starmie. It's more reliable as a spinner imo than Cloyster, considering it has Natural Cure and is not weak to Stealth Rock. On those weaknesses outlined by Doom Dawg: Have you ever considered Lati@s over Salamence? It wouldn't...

    Feel the Power of the Sun

    Hey there. I can actually see quite a Tornadus-T weakness if rain is active (both is rather common at the moment). Heatran has to be weary of Focus Blast off the LO set, while everything else takes considerable damage from Hurricane. I'd thus suggest Specially Defensive Jirachi over Heatran...

    Sail Away On Teary Seas (BW2 OU)

    Thanks for your rate. I've been trying Superpower. It packs quite a punch, but sadly the Atk/Def drop is rather undesirable as I'm being forced to DD again after using it (which, once Multiscale is broken, can be really tough to accomplish). I'm still testing Ice Beam. It has pros and cons. It...

    Sail Away On Teary Seas (BW2 OU)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sail Away On Teary Seas ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Introduction With proper support, SubCM Jirachi is an absolute beast in the current metagame and that's how I started out when making this team. The advent of B2W2 brought some new tweaks to Generation V OU, among them...

    *Insert Creative Title Here*

    I would definitely suggest running Outrage over Dragon Claw on Dragonite, as it allows you to 2HKO any non-steel physical wall. The Power gain is immense: e.g. Swampert takes 41-49% from CB Dragon Claw but 63-74% from Outrage, which is a definite 2HKO. Outrage will also OHKO 252/0 Adamant...

    [OU]Machamp And His Assistant

    I really agree with ENZ0, and would support his suggestions. However, if you don't want to replace Jolteon, I'd suggest taking out Magnet Rise. I don't really see much use in using Magnet Rise on Jolteon as it is still quite frail and the use is pretty situational. I't doesn't work against...

    Team Six Valuable Virtues [Balanced OU]

    Thanks for the rate so far. @Aeron Ee1: I'm afraid that Psychic won't work as well, as it leaves Jirachi a lot more esily walled. Both Celebi and Latias would then resist Jirachi's attacks, which could be quite problematic. Another (main) reason is, that Psychic invites Tyranitar to switch in...

    Team Six Valuable Virtues [Balanced OU]

    At a First Glance: ******************************************************* Introduction: Ever since HG/SS moves have been introduced on Shoddy, I tried to find a team that could work with CB Dragonite and his new toy Extremespeed. It didn't partuclarly work well as a core, so I decided to...

    Virgin Atlantic (OU RMT)

    I actually agree with legendary_07: Crunch is just far superior to Ice Punch - especially against Celebi. Celebi is never OHKOed by a +2 Adamant Life Orb Ice Punch unless it switched into Stealth Rock AND there is Sandstorm cancelling Leftovers, as Ice Punch does 75.7 - 89.1% to Celebi. Crunch...

    Patches O'Houlihan

    I would suggest changing Spikes to Toxic Spikes on Forretress. This would help especially Empoleon a lot against Blissey and certain Bulky Waters. Vaporeon walls your entire team once Jolteon is down, and with its frailty, entry hazards and loads of switching (due to Specs) to wear it down, this...

    Please rate my horrible team!!! (OU)

    Actually, I always found that Bulky Gyarados and Tyranitar don't really work together that well since Sandstorm cancels out Leftovers recovery (thus taking away quite a bit of bulk). You could change it into the standard offensive Gyarados and use it late game. However, since you said you had...

    Raikou (4F)*

    Just a wee nitpick: Raikou is actually a Tiger (therefore a cat), which is why they're called legendary beasts and not dog. I would also suggest slashing and mentioning Choice Scarf as an item (running a modest nature)
