The thing about HP fire over STAB is the rain. HP fire in the rain will not do enough to Forry and Ferro, and they can proceed to nearly OHKO with Gyro Ball or paralyze me. I usually just send in Croak on Forry and Ferro as they are setup fodder, and Skarmory I can handle with Thunder. Psycho...

I feel proud to have beaten this team a time or two with my RU team, but I have lost to it as well. I run a stall team, and really, there's just no way to handle Cress if my Scollipede dies. I remember you beating me with this team before so I was prepared for it the next time and won if my...

nope

CM Virizion sounds like an excellent addition actually. It neutralizes a bug weakness and has a great SpDef stat to take on Rotoms. I'll definitely be trying that out, thanks. :)

Lol, I probably will eventually, but it really does work and its super fun to use. Commenting on more than one of my guys would be appreciated though.

Tired of all the boring weather teams I see that abuse the same standard predictable pokes, I decided to mix it up and use some utility Pokes as offensive guys and late game sweepers to net surprise kills. The art of surprise is what got my last serious OU team to rank 5 on the ladder, and I...

I actually played you with the team I made based on your team on the server and won. My Dnite, Haxorus, and Genesect are the same as yours (except Dnite has 1 more speed EV to beat out defensive Jirachi) and I have Bronzong, Vaporeon, and a Conkeldurr to handle Excadrill. Also, i see a lot of...

Well, with the quick team I made inspired by this team, I just beat the #10 guy on the ladder narrowly, although he did crit me on several occasions. -_-

With my non-weather team (ranked around 20) I played a guy using pretty much your exact team and I was able to beat it pretty handily, but it did contain some nice predictions on my part, and he had a Ferrothorn instead of a Gensect. I thought it was you at first which satisfied me, but it...

I have played your team several times with my rain team and I cannot beat it. Seriously probably the most annoying team I've faced. Unless you have at least 2 steel types you're going to get rolled over, and even then, I think a banded Outrage 2 hit kills stuff like Bronzong anyway.

Alright, I've been trying that Abomasnow set with Shed Shell and its been working great. :) Let's me get Hail going on the first turn and lets me protect to scout. I still have a lot of problems with Conkeldurr though. I switched to Spiritomb over Jellicent to better handle it and Reuniclus...

Thanks for the tips! If I run that set though, Latias becomes Pursuit bait and gets destroyed by Conkeldurr's Payback. I've had some success with Sableye and Spiritomb against Reuniclus AND Conkeldurr, but then I lose a valuable fire resistance and I'm more susceptible to Scizor. Would you...

Well, after creating two successful teams on PO which got me to the teen ranks in the Dream World tier, I wanted to challenge myself and make a hail stall team. After lots of trial and error, this team is sitting at rank 34 on the Smogon server Dream World tier as I type this, which I'm pretty...

Been using this thing to fantastic effect with Choice Band/Reckless. Emboar is a fantastic late game wallbreaker/sweeper, totally wrecking the likes of Jellicent/Ferrothorn/Skarmory/Defensive Zapdos and even OHKO's bulky attackers like Conkeldurr with Flare Blitz. Not to mention, it can outspeed...

Dude, you're speaking as if every opponent I face knows the set beforehand. :P No Aerodactyl will Stone Edge this thing when it can Earthquake, its too risky considering they have no idea what set this will have, if I have a sash, or whatever. The main advantage you get is surprise factor which...

Machamp can't OHKO Swampert leads, unless you get lucky with confusion. Magmortar destroys Swampert leads. Machamp hates Trick Scarf leads; Magmortar doesn't mind it. Magmortar OHKO's lead Jirachi, to my knowledge Machamp can't do that. Lum Berry Metagross leads always beat Machamp. Magmortar...

There are several reasons: -LeadApe loses to Crobat leads thanks to Crobat's Inner Focus while Magmortar OHKO's it with Thunderbolt, unless it U-Turns. -LeadApe can't OHKO Swampert with Grass Knot, and Swampert will either get up SR or break Infernape's Sash, rendering it pretty useless...

Done. :) I find that leads that have access to EQ and Stone Edge will almost always go for the EQ on Magmortar as its not worth the risk of missing. Most Aerodactyl won't attack anyway though and will set up SR, and some have even taunted by Magmortar lead thinking it was some kind of...

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/magmortar I recently made this lead a few days ago while looking for a competent, unique lead for my OU team. After testing it out on several opponents, it has worked out very nicely on everything it has supposed to, catching many leads like Jirachi, Aerodactyl...
