Hi all, I'm currently laddering on the OU suspect ladder, and I'm wondering about how to find my deviation. Iconic mentioned referring to Aldaron, but I'm having trouble finding any post or thread about it. Does anyone know the equation/what the deviation is listed under? Many thanks.

Heh heh I would have to say you posted your RMT quite timely. I first started using RP Sheer Force Landorus when I saw Taylor using it. But lately I've seen quite a bit of Sheer Force Landorus. So much, in fact, that whenever I see a Landorus in the team preview I generally assume it's the Sheer...

Thanks for the rate! I really like the suggestion. I would definitely try it out if anyone were still playing BW1 OU! >.> What else HP Ice does is give me another answer to sub Toxic Gliscor, who if not for Celebi, could take down my whole team.

So you're saying having an answer to weather threats makes a team anti-weather? In this metagame, every team NEEDS to have some kind of method to defeat a rain-boosted Hydro Pump or a 2x fast Venusuar. But that doesn't mean that every non Politoed/Ninetales/TTar/Abomasnow team is anti-weather...

Agreed. I've played around with rain and drought, but quite frankly I find them too tiring; weather wars are draining to the point that I ctrl+w after only one or two battles. It's not as if weather teams are superior to non-weather teams. I've been using an alt playing a balanced (non-weather)...

Like Ginganinja, I haven't found Genesect to be much of a problem, and I don't run Heatran on any of my teams. But for me the first step with dealing with Genesect is figuring out whether or not it's scarfed. I do this by switching in some Pokemon that resists a predicted bug...

I honestly have never had a problem facing Tornadus-T. In fact, I find Tornadus incarnate more of a threat. Tornadus-T loses to quite a few steel types. Jirachi, Bronzong, and specially defensive Skarmory are all great checks to Tornadus, who can all switch in with ease and set up hazards or go...

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely try it out when I've got the time. But now what I'm afraid of is taking Rotom Will-o-wisps, which Celebi handles better. I also fear sub toxic Gliscor, who gives my entire team massive problems. Gliscor can easily PP stall Power Whip, whereas Celebi can...

Introduction It might be a bit late to post this team, as we’ve all been playing BW2 for quite some time now, but this team was one of the most fun and best teams I’ve played with and created. There is no sound teambuilding process, because I really suck at making teams. Instead, the idea was to...

I would definitely have to say any form of SD Terrakion. This guys sweeps unprepared teams like the world's best maid sweeps a dusty chimney (bad comparison I know). A LO +2 Stone Edge rips any pokemon to shreds, including Gliscor and Slowbro, as does LO +2 Close Combat. Seriously if this guy...

I don't see the point of you making this statement, as it's equally "irrelevant" as you claim his argument to be, and it's also rude. Sure, they're set-up fodders, but you act as if Lucario or Terrakion or whatever set-up sweeper doesn't have counters. Most to all battlers should know the...

Hi. I don't exactly believe that you have a solid answer to Skarmory. Yes Politoed OHKOs, but an easy switch to Jellicent/Blissey/Chansey/Ferrothorn is all it takes. Ferrothorn can't do anything to it besides leech seed while Skarmory sets up spikes. Even Tornadus, who you said can taunt Skamory...

Pocket, the problem I see with trying to set up on Deoxys is the possibility of getting OHKOd yourself. Even with the team preview, it's rather risky to simply assume that a Deo is running SR/spikes/screens/taunt/whatever just because it's in the lead position or if there are "5 other sweepers"...

Just by a first glance I've noticed that your team is incredibly helpless against stall. A defensive core of Blissey + steel + Gyara + Rotom-form will render your team so useless. How do you even deal against Blissey? Nothing in your team can touch her except Scizor . And let's face it, Blissey...

Hi, got your message. I'll try to address these one by one, and jc104 probably has already given some good suggestions (i'm just too lazy to read his gigantic post lol), so if you see a repeating suggestion ignore it... Breloom Lead? Hmm... pretty skeptical about this thing. You might...

Hi. Just by taking a first glance at your team, I realized that you are incredibly weak to the likes of Agility Lucario and DD LO Gyara. If either can get up an Agility or a DDance by coming on your choice locked TTar, then with proper Spikes and SR support, Lucario and/or Gyara can sweep...

These are amazing. I actually prefer your starters over the actual starters, lol.

Hi again, that is definitely the idea for Swampert. You can bring in Swampert on Heatran, Flygon, Tyranitar, Jolteon (without HP Grass), etc., and set up SR as they switch out. The only thing you have to worry about is if they switch in Breloom; if this is the case, the best thing to do is to...

First off, I want to point out that the change you have made to your Swampert gives you an option of removing Surf for SR, and changing your Azelf lead into either a LO lead, CB lead, or simply a Focus Sash attacking lead; basically, a lead without SR. You will find this beneficial because first...

Are you concerned more about the 12% damage or the fact that it cuts attack in half? If it's the latter, then that is why Dark Pulse is viable, as it is a Special attack, and WoW doesn't affect its power. The only problem is Focus Punch won't be effective against Blissey.
