The Team The Suspect ladder has been a mixed bag for me; on one hand, I'm glad to see things like Garchomp and Latios back, however, I'm also a bit shocked at how offensive the metagame has become. The sheer power the new Suspects led people to ditch traditional stall and favor...

I was toying around with my new offensive team (this was a first time team for me, I usually relied on bulky-offense or straightforward stall), and it was still being tested. I was pleased with the results I was getting. My winning percentage was considerably higher than my losing percentage...

Hello Smogon. As of late, I've been playing mostly OU and UU, and haven't given my beloved Ubers the attention it deserves. A few months ago, I was devoted solely to the Ubers ladder, and even got to 20th. Sadly, however, hax ridden matches brought me down the a mere 30th, and pretty soon, the...

Sets *Rock Polish- It's easily the most common one I've seen *Tank- I'll list it second unless there are any objections *Choice Band- Eh? *Swords Dance- I haven't seen a single one *Dual Screen- Just copied from Jimbo *OU Lead- iKitsune made it, and it looks great...

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/magmortar Sets *Choice - Rewritten completely, moves stayed the same. *Mixed - Rewritten completely, mentions of Focus Punch for handling Chansey and Regirock better *SubPunch- Added, courtesy of tennisace Concerns *Is three sets enough? *Why is everything...

I've been playing around on the Suspect ladder recently. I really wanted to try out the power of Specs Latios, thus I built a team around it, supporting its weaknesses and basically guaranteeing it kills one or two things per match. After a good deal of matches in which I received positive...

Introduction As of late, I've noticed my ranking on the Uber ladder is now non-existant :( So, once that depressing fact was accepted, it was back to the drawing board to create another Uber team, since the current one I had was outdated...like seriously -__-. I wanted to try out something new...

Site Analysis Deoxys-S was long overdue for an Ubers revamp =/ Changes Made *Removed all mentions of OU Pokemon, unless said OU Pokemon are common in Ubers *Added Dual Screen, and "Uber Lead", and added Caelum's "Uber Offensive" *Uber Lead is first on analysis *Cosmic Wall and Counter sets...

Overview Ubers always fascinated me, mainly because everything hit like a nuclear bomb there. As of late, I've been laddering with this team, and it had very god results. I soon reached 20th on the Ubers ladder, but sadly, after 4 losses in a row (hax ridden ;[) I plummeted to...

I really wanted to try and make an OU team for ADV, however, I never got the time to. Luckily, I downloaded Netbattle recently, and constructed this lineup. It went through a bunch of changes, and I think it was made for the better. Still, I have a lot of trouble with standards involving...

After laddering on the Smogon Ladder, I've had a few "eh" and "meh" matches. None of them really stood out, and either ended up me winning easy, or losing horribly. However, this match was quite different, and remains one of the greatest matches I've ever had (and one of the longest). I got to...

Overview I was excited about making this team, mainly because I was able to use a lot of guys I haven't tried before (besides Gengar, who has been on basically all of my serious teams). Unfortunately, I suffered many losses today, a lot of them were pretty bad too. However, I revised the...

Background When it comes down to offense, I usually am the first guy to complain. Ever since the metagame shifted from stall to offense, I have had a hard time adapting. Most of my teams either were too weak to a certain threat, or just got worn out by physical/special sweepers. After a bit of...

Introduction I always was a huge fan of the Uber metagame, mainly because of how everything there hit like a nuclear bomb. Among all of these hard-hitting monsters, I grew quite fond of Dragon Dance Rayquaza. DD Ray hits a lot harder than a lot of other ubers. Then an idea came to my head: Build...

Introduction Ever since many of Platinum's changes were implemented into Shoddy, having fun with my teams seemed long gone. Same threats, same Pokes on my team, same movesets, etc...However, an idea came to me one day: Mixed tier teams! The Lineup BL 1 @ Choice Scarf Modest 252...

Intro After hearing about the wonderful news of Garchomp being banned to ubers, I was glad to say that this team would be less metagame weak. Basically, this is your bread and butter offensive team, however, from my experiances, it's been working extremely well. It's won me a majority of my...

Lead Gengar @ Choice Scarf Timid 6 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe Taunt Shadow Ball Focus Blast Thunderbolt Unlike most Gengar's, this guy is not going to be helpless from Focus Sash Deoxys-e. Taunt will stop it from setting up any screens, and since more Deoxys-e only carry Ice Beam or Thunderbolt, I...

Been playing UU for a while, and I found this team particulary useful. Very offensive. ~Aerodactyl~ (Physical Sweeper/Stealth Rocker) Aerodactyl @ Life Orb Jolly 6 HP/252 Att/252 Spe Stealth Rock Crunch Earthquake Stone Edge Comments: Aerodactyl in UU made me do a little dance. Fastest...

Intro After a lot of losses, I decided my old team needed to be changed. I stuck with Crobat since it makes a beast of a lead, and Gyarados since it's sort of awkward not having on a team (though I'm not attatched to him), and pretty much replaced everything else. Note: I'm sorry for the extra...

The Lineup Crobat @ Leftovers Timid 160 SpA/132 SpA/216 Spe Air Slash Hypnosis Taunt Roost This thing is an animal of a lead. For those suicide Azelf leads, Taunt or Hypnosis. It shuts them down effectively. Air Slash >>> Aerial Ace, Brave Bird for two reasons. 1) Air Slash is stronger...
