The point is to make a good team. I did not say to outright rule out the combo, but using them in the same manner when Electivire does it better is unwise. If I was set on keeping the duo, I would go for a more special attacking Magmortar. Something like Fire Blast/Focus Blast/HP Grass/X. HP...

Your Magmortar is not serving any real purpose. It is basically being used as a less effective Electivire, but you are already using Electivire! They don't complement each other well, especially with movesets you have chosen.

I really like this team and it how thought out your team making process was. I also support the suggestion for the Rotom. On the other hand, I think Kingdra seems to work very well. To deal with your issues with those pokemon though, I would suggest giving Kingdra a Lum Berry if you choose to...

I really like the creativity and the non-conformity to standard sets for members to perform their jobs more effectively. The only nitpick I have so far (kind of late, I'll check this again when I'm more awake) is U-turn on Celebi. Is there some significance for having this? I guess it could be...

Looks pretty solid. The only real thing I see is that if Latias is gone and Kingdra get's a Substitute or DD, your team is kind of screwed. I would suggest putting Roar over Hammer Arm on Swampert. Swampert can take at least an Outrage or 2 before dying, and then roar it away, so it can be taken...

Great idea, hopefully it works out.

We already acknowledged that (U-turn -> Intimidate). And the only miss that really mattered was the one in the first part of the match anyway, all others were against Jirachi I think.

@Deaga: He knew that I had Heatran, yet he put in Dusknoir anyway. I was really expecting to see WoW here and only here, as later on I would be sure to absorb it with Heatran, or more likely, Thunder Punch, as without it, Zapdos would have done better against Feraligatr. He probably saw this...

I used 4 of Gliscor's moves in the battle, and I did not use roost, therefore, I did not have roost. Plus roost with no good attack to hit Flygon would be pointless anyway, actually, it would give him more time to snap out of confusion. The battle gets better from then on, I assure you... and...

Yeah I guess I should have done that, makes a ton of sense. I was kind of in the moment and forgot about intimidate... Archive warstories are amazing, I doubt I'd reach that level, just thought it was a interesting battle with a good ending. Yeah I was puzzled too but if he had EQ'd, it would...

Hey Smogon, I recently had this battle with my new test team (as I am on my alternate account, Oranged), and it ended up being one of the most exciting one’s I’ve had. Thanks for checking out my warstory and I hope you enjoy it! _______________________ Oranged’s Team...

Empoleon seems like a good idea as well. You could keep the same theme as Jolteon by giving him Choice Specs with Surf/Hydro Pump, Grass Knot, Ice Beam, and HP Elec. Another option is the popular sub-petaya set, which is pretty effective in the late game. Despite the two waters (Vaporeon and...

I like the idea of Empoleon, but with two SR weak sweepers that are important to your team (Mence and Gyara), I might change the lead to something that will prevent SR from getting up. Off the top of my head Aerodactyl fits it perfectly as the fastest (or one of the fastest) Taunts in OU. I...

I agree, Houndoom is outclassed by Heatran in OU. I really don't feel like Jolteon is a great choice. Gliscor is immune to electricity (ground type, in case you didn't know, as you said it has an elec-weakness o.O). As is Flygon. I think it is more important that you deal with your ice...

Smogon's Description of Tinkerbell Celebi (the Celebi set I use): "Leaf Storm, backed up by a Life Orb and heavy EV investment, is a new definition of pain, smashing even a Max HP Tyranitar's defenses for an OHKO with the aid of Stealth Rock" If Tyranitar is switched in on HP Fire or Recover...

I have had a lot of trouble in the past when I just picked teams to follow a single strategy or strategy based off of one member, so this team was made to be balanced yet offensively mannered. Team at a glance: Lead: Dragonite @ Life Orb Inner Focus Quiet 240 Atk / 252 SpA / 16...

I use and love this lead. Requires pretty good prediction, but when it works, it is great. Plus it can get a d-bond or ice beam kill to help if it lives until late-game.

Yeah, Choice Specs would probably be better. I don't really see why Signal Beam would be better than Shadowball, can you elaborate? Yeah, U-Turn is another good choice, but I'm realizing that I am pretty Swampert Weak without at least putting Grass knot on Jirachi. Picking between Grass Knot...

I understand why you say I should change to jolly, but impish lets him wall more, as he is the main one here to take my physical attacks. U-Turn and Taunt sound like good alternatives... I'll think about which of the three to use (until/unless someone convinces me for one). If Gliscor is down...

Recently got back into Diamond and I wanted to start making competitive teams. So, here we go: Ninjask @ Leftovers Ability: Speed Boost Nature: Jolly - Substitute - Swords Dance - Baton Pass - X-Scissor I think this is a great, though somewhat unused, pokemon. Pretty simple strategy, but...
