Magnezone's Thunderbolt somehow ignored by Skarmory's Sturdy.

I've always preferred playing stall, but the existence of many powerful OU threats have always discouraged from running stall in the metagame. However, the Defense of the Titans thread gave me some ideas, and definitely proved stall was viable. So I went to the lab and came up with this team...

This is actually not true as Substitute does not block Toxic Spikes. I found this to be quite a problem actually, because if I don't get Espeon in as they Toxic Spike, my entire team save Ninjask and Scizor gets poisoned meaning setting up Substitutes and boosting becomes a lot more difficult...

Kyurem being BL is the most mind-boggling tiering ever: 660 BST, 130 Sp ATK combined with excellent coverage in just 2 high power moves with reliable recovery deserves more than BL. It also turns out I like playing anti-meta or just outright making difficult to use teams work, so Hail is a...

Hi I played your the other day on PS and I think your team can deal with most threats with proper prediction. I suggest changing your Jirachi's EV spread to 252 HP/40 Def/216 SDef, which would still allow you to take Hurricanes and Draco Meteors with ease, but will escape an OHKO from Choice...

Spiritomb @ Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Def Calm (+SDef, -Atk) - Dark Pulse - Hidden Power Fighting - Will-O-Wisp - Pain Split Spiritomb can tank a Thunder (37.82 - 44.73%) on the switch in, then an additional Thunder before using Pain Split. It can then KO Meloetta...

Hi, thanks for the tips. I will definitely try those changes. The Earthquake over Earth Power change is interesting, since Storm Drain would boost the damage on Earth Power but not Earthquake, but I guess Earth Power usually isn't doing much against something that would use a water attack.

After playing UU for a long time (since gen IV), I decided to go back to OU since I do like playing with weather and to see as how it has changed completely since I have last played it. I started with a rain team, but I hated constantly playing against other rain teams. Then I tried a sun team...

Empoleon @ Choice Scarf Nature: Modest Ability: Torrent 4 Hp / 252 SpA / 252 Spe - Hydro Pump / Surf - Ice Beam - Grass Knot - Stealth Rock / Signal Beam / Hidden Power Ground Takes next to nothing from any of the 3 moves. Last slot can be Signal Beam to hit Celebi, Psychics and Darks while...

Yeah I was just about to post that Cofagrigus can not learn Pain Split. Actually, since I have posted the RMT, I have replaced some team members and it has performed a bit better. Instead of Claydol and Suicune, I now use (and I will change OP soon): Blastoise@Leftovers Bold: 252 HP, 252 Def...

So this is a team I made up after my interest in stall had been rejuvenated by a certain UU thread. I have always loved to play stall, using it in gen 4 OU and UU. I've reached about 1250 before having my ladder score reset a few days ago, but I have no idea how far I can go have it not been...

Don't forget about Rotom-F which will cripple your Blizzard switch-in with Thunder Wave (GG Cobalion) or just outright kill with Thunderbolt. It's not like BlizzSpam only spams Blizzard, they have regular offense to kill Blizzard checks just like a regular offensive teams kill their checks, but...

Totally agree with this. Even without the SR, Spikes and Snow Cloak, BlizzSpam is just broken. Unless you devote a good portion of your team to counter BlizzSpam, eventually your main Blizzard resist will be gone and the subsequent Blizzards will kill you. It's especially worse when Blizzard has...

Arcanine imo is the best one. Other remotely bulky fire types such as Torkoal and Camerupt are just too bad. Moltres is unfortunately killed by SR and neutral to Blizzard.

Tested the core out and here's my 2 cents. 1. Magneton is completely useless against Ground types, and even with its fantastic resistances, it's low stats, even with Eviolite, and its lack of recovery means it tends to die very quickly. Iirc. even a uninvested Scald from Empoleon will break a...

Will definitely try that core, but a quick look tells me that core needs to watch out for Gallade, who can nail Magneton and Weezing with STAB and also Sigilyph with super effective Stone Edge. Although, Sigilyph can outspeed and cripple it with Psycho Shift or use Roost to eliminate the Stone...

It's because on Pokemon Online server Azelf is borderline. For your Ambipom set, the first Acrobatics has 165 BP with the next ones at 110 BP whereas STAB Return with Silk Scarf has 183 BP consistently, which means it's only better than Return if it's a super effective hit which is almost...

This team focuses on dealing massive damage from strong U-Turn and Volt Changes while maintaining pressure. The constant stream of scouting moves mean I will have the match-up advantage, so my opponent is either force to switch, in which case I regain the advantage with another scouting move...
