Thanks for the help, Novaray! I'll update my RMT shortly.

Thank you for your input, sir! I have updated my roster.

Hello Smogon! It's been about a year since I last played, and I am extremely rusty and somewhat oblivious to the changes that have happened since then (the exception being the banning of Excadrill). Anyways, last summer I was always somewhere between 1250-1300 points, the top 1000 of the ladder...

...good call. I used too have a bunch of dream world abilities on this team, like sb blaziken. I might just go with the vaporeon and try this team in OU. Any more suggestions?

I've realized that it is close to impossible to win without a weather team. I always thought weather teams kind of took the creativity out of teambuilding and made battles go the same way each time. However, I think I have made a somewhat out of the ordinary sandstorm team, one that has boosted...

It's a been a few days so I think it's appropriate to bump. Advice anyone? Lord knows I could use it.

Yeah, I decided to put a life orb on Terrakion instead. Also pushed off weavile for scizor and ferrothorn for swampert. My team is much more balanced and not rock and fighting prone.

Made a few changes by your guy's suggestions. Improved I think!

The point of this team... is I'm not sure. I made this team off of my knowledge from the 4th generation metagame and the few articles I read on the new generation. It has been working decently, but it definitely needs work. Thundurus@Focus Sash Thunderbolt HP Ice Taunt Thunder Wave Nature...

how about making froslass the lead? Froslass is a pretty common and effective spiker lead, so no one would suspect a hail team.

Since you're going for a defensive team, maybe you should go for an anti-lead (such as machamp). Also, if you need spikes/stealth rock, you should consider skarmory (one of the best spikers). Plus, he can whirlwind and slowly cause damage, which is what you want on a defensive team like yours...

thanks azlan! flygon and zapdos have been the crux of this team, making the difference in a tight game. I have a simple question just on how speed works when both pokemon have the same speed. If there was a timid gengar vs. my timid froslass, who would go first? And how do you insert images?

@techno thanks. @azlan maybe i should replace froslass with gyarados to deal with infernape?

didn't work...still forced to use an IV of 22 in HP

thanks for all the help azlan! I think I'll go with zapdos. Items, natures, and EV's if you can? Why can't I use hidden power grass with a bold nature? it keeps saying "this pokemon has an invalid combination of IV's and Nature" WTF? wow...this forum moves really fast... anyone care to give...

Nice suggestion Azlan! I have been thinking about Starmie, but your analysis has convinced me! Rotom seems like a good suggestion, but that leaves my team with 3 ghost weaknesses! Anyone else who can do the job? Would a zapdos work well?

since you already have toxic on your blissey, I would recommend taking it off your zapdos and using the extra slot for rapid spin. Rapid spin is VERY useful late in the game when you're constantly switching and don;t need the extra damage.

just a small suggestion from a new player... I would put payback over explosion for surprise damage. Explosion will kill most stuff, but a well timed payback can be devastating to an opposing ghost type trying to block you. Just my thoughts...feel free to ignore lol

I'd say that this is a fairly balanced team, more focused on the offensive side. Generally, I think it handles most threats well, but I'm still having trouble with Infernapes. I basically have to keep switching until it runs out of dynamic punch. Bullet punch also screws over my lead. (fixed the...
