Definitely a solid team, threats are covered well. Although, basically all variants of Dragonite will cause you some problems along with some others which has been pointed out. I would like to make some nitpicks though. Firstly, I second bubbly's suggestion of using Skarmory over Roserade. I...

@ Tomahawk9 (1st post): CB Lax is a solid choice over Tyranitar; will definitely try it out, thanks! @ george182: Swampert is a good idea, but swapping out Suicune for it seems a little passive, since it means reducing the general firepower of the team. With CB Lax over Tyranitar, I think...

@ BKC: I've been thinking about RestTalk Rotom-H with reflect specifically to combat Zapdos better, but I'll gladly make my team a little weaker against Machamp and Zapdos (which both aren't that common anyway) in return for more insurance against Lucario and Jirachi. I'll definitely try out the...

Hi Tomahawk9, would you mind giving my team a rate? Thanks in advance. http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3457397

Hello Smith, could you take a look at my team when you're free? Thanks in advance! http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3457397

Something Wild At A Glance In-Depth Analysis Changes in BOLD The Nail Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Spikes - Brave Bird - Whirlwind - Roost Your eyes are full of hate, forty one. That's good. Hate...

Your team is incredibly Breloom weak. Every time Flygon doesn't use U-Turn or Outrage, that's one guaranteed kill for Breloom. If Breloom comes in on Bronzong as it sets up Trick Room, the incoming explosion is really obvious and this can be foiled with a simple double-switch out into a...

Scarfed Rotom-W isn't a very good check to Dragonite, but other than that you've really hit the nail on the head. I've never noticed my team's issues with Lanturn. It isn't unbeatable though, but it will cause major problems if it gets in safety on an electric move. Thankfully, Lanturn and lead...

Your argument is weak. FWG cores generally have problems with Zapdos. Stall teams fall apart the moment Blissey is removed, which is why Magma Storm + Explosion was suggested by Kevin. Can Lucario sweep and rip teams apart by itself? No; every decent team carries a check to it. Is Lucario still...

Hey Smith, pass by my rmt thread when you're free. ;) Thanks.

And I thought the sarcasm was apparent.

Darth: HP Ice isn't necessary to beat Dragonite with my current Zapdos set though; replacing Heat Wave just for Dragonite would also mean Zapdos would be doing pittance to the likes of Scizor, Lucario, Shaymin and Celebi, all of which are equally threatening. Zapdos can comfortably take a Draco...

Kevin suggested Magma Storm which fixes that. What he places on his team doesn't make Zapdos more or 'less reliable'. Zapdos 3HKOs the most defensive of Heatran and 2HKOs ScarfTar with T-bolt, meaning they can only switch in and force Zapdos out once. Zapdos can break Hippo and Rotom-A after...

The name of this team is based off one of my favorite songs from my favorite band, Avenged Sevenfold. I also decided to incorporate a medical theme into it because I have a medical fetish (not really). Anyway, this is a team built to primarily support leech seed Breloom. There are two key moves...

^ How is zapdos unreliable? lol :heart: Chapter Four. This is a solid team you have there; as Kevin said, you have pretty much the metagame covered. It's not much of a rate, but first of all I would like to second LO Starmie over Suicune as Kevin suggested. Zapdos is fairly bulky, but...

First of all, thank you Smith for the excellent rate. ;) I don't worry about CBTars too much though; they are much easier to deal with Shuca DD variants. Gliscor can switch in on Stone Edge as long as he stays above 60%, outspeed, roost up to buy himself a resistance and Tyranitar will...

Thanks for the suggestions. I would definitely give Ice Shard a shot over Blizzard on Abomasnow; like both of you mentioned, it helps against Dragonite and Flygon, both potent and common threats in today's metagame, the former in particular which causes a fair bit of trouble for my team. I...
