Hey Darkerones, pretty nice team here. The two main problems I can see with the team are Keldeo and Rotom-W. The former can switch in on Heatran for free, Heracross locked into Stone Edge, or Salamence after it's taken a bit of residual damage and threaten to KO all of them. Whilst you can...

Hey Metroid, really nice team here, SD Landy can be a real threat to teams and I've only really got a few small changes to make. For starters, you're pretty weak to rain teams. With Starmie as your only Water-type resist, many boosted water attacks from Politoed, opposing Starmie and Keldeo can...

Superpower is probably a good shout, hitting ferrothorn in rain makes Kingdras job a hell of a lot easier. Losing the super effective hit on Jirachi shouldn't be too bad as the new Kingdra spread means you can set up on it as long as you can avoid getting parahaxed.

Hey guys, really solid team here, not much to add to it. Kingdra and Hydreigon are really well positioned in this metagame. To start with, I'll agree with Jimbon in that a small investment in Kingdras defenses is probably worth it, as Jirachi is pretty common on rain teams. Being able to add...

Thanks for the rate guys (though it is rate my team, not rate my joke haha) @DoomDawg The reason I chose leftovers so often for offensive teams is that it means that I can run bulkier spreads with little attack investment (Landorus-T, Starmie in particular) so they can check threats better...

A Higgs Boson walks into a church and the priest says to him "Sorry, we don't allow your kind in here". To which the Higgs Boson replies "But without me, how can you have mass?" xD ...Ok, fine. I'll get on with the team then. Introduction With the introduction of B2/W2, a lot of new toys...

It's not only the surprise factor that makes this set effective. it now has a seperate list of checks and counters, seeing as the usual checks (Sp.def Heatran, Blissey, Sp.def rachi) are no longer effective. Even if they know hydreigon is mixed, if they use one of these pokemon to check it they...

Team at a glance Introduction Hello all :) Thought I'd bring you another Gen 5 OU team. This kind of team really suits my playstyle, using lures to remove checks for a late game sweep. This means that even if I make some bad plays mid-game, I can still recover pretty well and even...

I've just been running a support set of Dragon Pulse / Reflect / Wish / Protect. Whilst is means Latias loses it's ability to sweep (which is rare due to the abundance of steels) it becomes a much better defensive pivot for the team, as well as providing useful wish support for Heatran and...

Seeing as Latias is your main answer to both Terrakion and Infernape, surely that's even more of an argument for running max speed? Considering you have multiple switches for pokes such as Scizor and Tyranitar, yet not too many pokes like taking on Terrakion.

I'd be cautious in replacing latias with gliscor. Whilst gliscor does have some good synergy with the team, he makes you slightly weaker to threats such as infernape as well as compounding your weakness to latios. Rather if you're looking to beat threats such as terrakion then I would suggest...

No problem man, as I said I really like the team and want to see it improve. One thing I forgot to mention is that now you're running Breloom over Swampert (my version was using Conkledurr), there is little reason to run Lagging Tail on Sableye. This is because Breloom invests so heavily in...

I actually really like the change to Breloom, it gives you another decent switch into a bulky waters Scald, whilst it wasn't a problem, random burns on either Abomasnow or Tentacruel could be really detrimental to the team. The only change I would suggest is changing the spread to 12 HP/ 244...

I'm still using this team and really liking it. The main problem I have with the team at the moment is fast special attackers who are able to break through Heatran. This includes, but is not limited to Latios, Alakazam and Gengar. The main problem with these pokes is their speed, so I've been...

Well, it may be a rare bug, but I want lagging tail to work :( http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-ou14111 turn 38 i trick tornadus a lagging tail, turn 39 it outspeeds my conkledurr ;_; and I would've won too if it wasn't for those meddling bugs...

Hey Superpowerdude, really nice team here. The only change I would possibly make is to switch Swampert out for Conkeldurr. This allows you to keep a strong Tyranitar counter but with priority mach punch, you can check threats such as SD Terrakion, which can be a major pain for this team. It also...

Hey KurashiDragon, really nice team here with very few weaknesses (although there are a couple). First off, as you said yourself, alakazam is an odd choice for a final poke. Whilst it does act as a great catch all check for setup sweepers, it gets 1 chance per game. With several offensive cores...

@Aquaaa, yeah pursuit is an option, my only problem then is that smashpass gorebyss is a problem, as it can KO hippowdon. But i think it's a necessary risk for better dealing with two much more common threats. I've been trying Hidden Power Ice on Forretress and it's worked really well, Volt...

Hey guys, thanks for the quick rates @bubbles The suggestion of Hippo over Tyranitar has worked really well so far, thanks. As for the weakness to Latios/Reuniclus, Latios is a big problem for the team and still needs to be addressed, but I had a slight stroke of genius and decided to replace...
