  1. Lucario

    but agility Luke has enormous surprise factor. a lot of times, i find if you're facing a HO team, they'll try to switch in something that's faster then Luke and isn't hurt by Extremespeed so counter it. with Agility/Close Combat/Ice Punch/Crunch he has the ability to hit a lot of these Pokemon...
  2. OU CCAT - Mark III (Laddering/Discussing - See Post #547)

    Great idea, but why Stealth Rocks over Spikes? This Forretress doesn't need to spin that often, because we don't have that big of a SR weakness, so it would be more beneficial to use the extra turns it gets with Spikes. Also, there are a lot more Stealth Rock users than there are Spikers, so it...
  3. Damage reducing berries.

    I've experimented with Shuca berry physical Jirachi, and it was a powerful lure for things like dragonite gliscor Landorus. On my sun team, it could threaten ttar with iron head, and take an eq to hit back with ice punch. Worked well in bw1, but I haven't used it since. Just giving props, I...
  4. Creative (and good) Movesets Mk II (READ THE OP FIRST)

    This is a really interesting set, I might try it out, but I was wondering if you had tested Roost at all. Archeops got it in Gen 5 and it seems like it could remedy some of her problems. I ran a similar set to this with Metagross on a sun team, and the suprise factor helped net a couple of...
  5. Dune Walkers, featuring Sandslash (#67 on Showdown)

    Hey, just a suggestion, but if you need an more useful item for Sandslash, a Ghost Gem would give it the ability to KO all but the most defensive sets of Celebi after SR damage, while you're at +2. It also gives you the ability to KO Deoxys-D 60% of the time with rocks up, and KO the common...
  6. Counter This Pokemon [ginganinja vs TEMP V1]

    Politoed @ Choice Specs Trait: Drizzle 188 Hp / 252 SpAtt / 68 Spe Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) -Surf -Hidden Power (Grass) -Ice Beam -Focus Blast SpecsToed has really dropped in usage recently, because due to the commonality of weather wars, people have opted for more bulky sets...
  7. yee's assignment thread

    Sand Force Hippowdon deserves a mention as a good tank as well as a good counter to many common sand storm pokemon, such as Landorus. Also, Hippowdon recently recived the ability to use Stealth Rock with Sand Force, increasing its viability.
  8. Tornadus-T

    i think a tornadus t in the sun might work Tornadus@ flying gem Adamant/Jolly nature 252 att 252 spe 4 hp -Acrobatics -Heat wave -Superpower/Hammer Arm -U-turn it isnt walled by jirachi and it could make a good wallbreaker
  9. Using Pokemon in seemingly unfavourable weather conditions

    This is just an idea, and one of my first posts on Smogon outside of the RMT section (though i am a clan leader over on serebii), so I'm not positive about it's application to competitive battling, but here it goes anyway: Snorlax used to be a behemoth in the original generations of pokemon...
  10. Requiem of Spirit - An OU SandStorm Team

    Introduction I made this team back when OoT3D came out, and I once again fell in love with the beautiful game. All changes are welcome (don’t mind the nicknames, I can change them around if needed). I meant to post it back then but I never did. I have some more time now so here it is. Changes...
  11. The Real Legendary Dog

    Although I do agree that Darmanitan outclasses arcanine to some degree, I also think that with the right support, arcanine can be a powerful threat in OU. I think that jellicent ferrothorn and arcanine make an excellent fwg combo, you should try this out. Also try drapion and other toxic spikers...
  12. Attempt to Master FWG: OU RMT

    At A Glance: Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Spikes - Leech Seed - Power Whip - Gyro Ball Ferrothorn… I think anyone who has played in the 5 generartion knows the power of Ferrothorn. It can...
  13. The Super Special Sun Team that Travels through Time and Space.(Relatively, ofcourse)

    Thanks for the ideas! They were really helpful, and I have made the changes on the front page.
  14. The Super Special Sun Team that Travels through Time and Space.(Relatively, ofcourse)

    Edits will be in red Ninetales (M) @ Chesto Berry Trait: Drought EVs: 248 HP / 8 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Flamethrower - Toxic - Rest - Protect Well, Ninetails. Ninetails, Ninetails, Ninetails. I really hate Ninetails. It a staple on sun teams because of Drought, but...
  15. Crossfire - Gen 5 OU

    Sigilyph and Reuniclus make good counters for Stall teams. I suggest running calm mind Reuniclus over Breloom. You keep the leech seed immunity and get immunities to other status moves as well, along with a good Conkeldurr counter. Also, if you get 2-3 calm minds up, Lati@s isn't that much of a...
