Actually, Stallrein is only worth it in Hail conditions. Either way that set's not very good, Mismagius can't really take physical hits and a smart opponent could easy switch out to a counter whilst you Protect. You might try the Sub/CM set. Iron Tail is pretty useless. You might try another...

"Physical Cresselia"@Leftovers/Life Orb 252 HP/252 ATK/4 DEF Adamant Return Psycho Cut Swagger Psych Up Uh, yeah, not much to say. Swagger and Psych Up for the equivilent of a Swords Dance while the opponent hopefully hits themselves fairly hard. Type coverage is pretty terrible but at least...

It's not possible, unfortunately. Shame, that sounds like it'd be a cool set.

Really? Well, I'm sorry then. Does it matter, though? By putting it here I'm promoting it and encouraging people to use it. Seems worthwhile.

Chatot is overlooked a lot, and it's actully quite good with the Encore/Nasty Plot set. If you max its base 91 speed it outruns a lot of UU, and you get ample opportunities to set up... Steelix Earthquake, Claydol EQ/Earth Power, Cacturne Sucker Punch, Shadow Ball from whatever, etc etc etc...

Well... I've used this Ariados set before... Ariados@Focus Sash- Insomnia Adamant- 252 atk, 252 spd, 4 hp Spider Web Baton Pass Poison Jab Sucker Punch Don't laugh, this can actually do things. Firstly, of course, it always beats Breloom unless it's carrying Stone Edge, and Ariados still has...

I am sadface about this, for my cherished Wishmence is no more. Was that really necessary? He wasn't the biggest threat ever. Meh. I'm also going to miss Hypno in UU, though I don't think that the metagame will change too much, as IMO Grumpig walls special attacks just as well with the...

Hm, yes. I'll add Crunch over Night Slash. I'm hesitant to try a more physical-oriented set, as Choice Scarf Ice Beam is one of my main counters to Dragon Dance Altaria, and that would weaken it. With the current set, Hydro Pump is a stronger water attack. Rock/Ground is an excellent attack...

This is the team that I've been using in Shoddy Battle UU for a while now. Have a look; praps you can give me insight on weaknesses/etc. that I've missed. Sharky! the Sharpedo@Choice Scarf Rough Skin Lonely nature- 172 atk, 160 spA, 176 spd Night Slash Earthquake Ice Beam Hydro Pump...

Yeah, Protect does do that. I remember you now. We did two games- I won the first one with one team, and you won the second against my other team. Leafeon was your key member in your victory, although if I had brought in Cacturne for the Sucker Punch a little earlier it might have gone better...

Hm. Have I battle this team in Shoddy UU? I think so, can't remember how it went. I remember the Swellow lead, though. Besides taking a lot from Fake Out, Swellow is weak to Scarfed leads. A standard Mixed Scarfpedo's Ice Beam will OHKO. You might conside Protect to scout, though I don't know...

Hmmm, now there's a much more thorough and effective post. I agree with everything Taylor said- just a few things to add. Since the idea of this team is to destroy the threats on the opponent's team, you must remember that you need to be able to switch in to explode. Might I suggest that you...

Oh yes: and the greatest joy of an Explosion team is the ability to KO Blissey with ANYONE on your team. it's pretty fun, seeing the pink fatass die so speedily.

This is really quite similar to a team I posted up here a month or so ago. As in, it's an explosion team. In fact, I use three of your six on my current team. Anyway, I've had a lot of experience playing an explosion team, and I find that in order to secure a victory, You'll need a very...

I just fought a team that, if it wasn't this one, was very close. At any rate, I saw Drifblim, Scizor, Gliscor and Vaporeon, with the movesets you have listed here. I must admit the chain was daaaaaamn hard to break. The constant Baton Passing is, I imagine, necessary, but it does get a tad...

It's a shame that Electrode appears to be the least useful, because during playtesting on Shoddy I've been really liking him. But, as per suggestions, I'll try T-Tar in his spot. Too lazy to edit the post right now, will do it later.

Oh, right. Edited the set and forgot about the item- yeah, I'll change it to a Silk Scarf.

If I do add Tyranitar, what member of my team would you say is the most replaceable? I'm not really sure which one I can safely take out.

Problem, there are very few Fire-resisting exploders that are actually any good. Heatran is like the only one. I suppose that's one reason to include Tyranitar I could replace Heatran's choice item with something... non-choice (life Orb or whatever), and increase his speed EVs. That way, he...

Well, electrode's attack is so low that he really needs Screech to kill anything with Explosion. Plus screech comes in handy for powering up the other's explosions. Usually I don't explode the turn immediately after using Screech because the opponent may switch in a ghost. @Pursuit user...
