    Oh boy, good to see you're still around. This time I gotta put my foot down. First of all, do you go and send rather insulting messages to every single RMTer that makes a poorly formatted team? Because if you did, I figure it would be a full time job, with all the massive pic using ones etc...

    ORAS OU Feraligatr Offense Team

    I don't have much time on my hands right now, so I'll just do a quick rate. My understanding is that you want Feraligatr to be your primary win condition, boosted by Scolipede. In that case, several changes are recommended. Since Feraligatr has no leftovers and rather is a full-out offensive...

    ORAS OU Fangs Of War - An ORAS OU Quickstall Team ft. Gliscor [In-Depth Analysis]

    Thanks for the insightful comments, both of you. You both raise some really good points, so let me address them one by one. I see what you mean. I think this comes from a fundamental difference in how we use gliscor. I tend to keep it "in the wings", per se, until mid game, so I never need to...

    ORAS OU Fangs Of War - An ORAS OU Quickstall Team ft. Gliscor [In-Depth Analysis]

    Fangs Of War - An ORAS OU Quickstall Team ft. Gliscor Team At A Glance Introduction Hello Smogon! It’s been a while. I haven’t been active on the forums for almost a year now, so I should probably re-introduce myself. My name is BST, a Smogon member since Gen 5 but have been battling...

    Pokémon Kyurem-Black

    I guess... I mean, Ice Beam and Fusion Bolt completely massacres his supposed "counters" in fairies; Azumarill's a clean OHKO, but it might have trouble with specially defensive Togekiss if uninvested. Perhaps a LO Physically based mixed set would work? EDIT: Dragon moves are definitely...

    Skarmbliss ft. M-Blastoise

    God... Is it some sort of trend with everyone using "without further adieu" rather than "ado"? Adieu means "farewell" in French... Haha anyway, nice team. First thing, it seems to be a semi-stall team basing off Blissey and Skarmory for the defensive framework and abusing Conkeldurr's attacking...

    Pokémon D/P/Pt In-Game Discussion

    I'm not a "long-time pokemon fan". Indeed, I've only started playing since Generation 4. Pokemon Diamond was my first ever pokemon game. That was, in my fading memory, when I was about 8. Though it was very fun at the time as well, after experiencing competitive battling and getting to decent...

    A Tough Competitor - Essays on the Art of Quickstall

    Haha, I have to admit that most are actually quite random. I really should take some time to actually optimise them... Usually, I divide up EVs based on the ratio of physical vs special threats it has to deal with. I've actually grown quite fond of Zapdos. Its excellent typing, reliable...

    please rate my team. any info would be great

    No, I believe he means more "detailed" EVs, like for example: 252 Atk, 156 Spd, 100 Def (or something like that). Please read the RMT rules before posting.

    A Tough Competitor - Essays on the Art of Quickstall

    Hey, thanks for the advice! You’ve proved your competency for stall on many occasions, and you’re probably right on most accounts. However, I would like to correct you on one account; the “emergency plans” section. I believe you have misunderstood me here. I meant that having phasers as the only...

    Concept: Momentum Stall

    Interesting concept. I agree that this has potential; but for constructive criticism's sake, I'll just list some major flaws of this playstyle. First of all, your team lacks offensive presence. Of course, you have good momentum going on in your VT chain, but the fact remains that none of your...

    THE SEXY SIX (My OU Team)

    Probably the best team in existence atm. Toxic Frogadier will definitely transform the metagame.

    My Team

    Lol Torkoal. That and Flygon are definitely not OU material, and its not really worth using. I would switch Flygon with Choice Scarf Garchomp and Torkoal with Excadrill. I think it would be best for you to set a clear goal in what your team's trying to achieve. Is it a sweep with Gardevoir? Just...

    Other The Old Stall and the New

    I'll just talk about some threats that NEED to be covered to make a successful stall teams. Keep in mind these elements threaten traditional BW stall teams, so circumstances may be different in the current XY metagame. THREATS TO TRADITIONAL STALL TEAMS Incredibly Powerful Attacks...

    Please rate my team :)

    Waait a second. Didn't mean to rate since I don't have time, but this just bugs me. First off, PSYCHIC? Umbreon has crap offenses, while Psychic isn't even STAB and can't touch Dark types. Even Dark Pulse would be better than Psychic. Next, Toxic is a little better in terms of practicality, but...

    Gothitelle's Reign of Terror

    I would say though Scarf Gotchitelle is brilliant, your team doesn't have a lot to benefit from it. I would suggest Swords Dance Terrakion; Gotchitelle can cripple defensive pokemon, allowing Terrakion a free turn to set up and proceed to destroy opposing teams. Terrakion @ Expert Belt EVs...
