  1. 4th Gen battler wanting to get back onto the scene

    I decided to take a look at this team again, and I think you should patch up some other weak spots in this team as well. Seeing as Lucario is a suicide lead and you have Swampert, defensive Rotom-a, and Vaporeon, I think he will just slow the team down. Without constant offensive presence, any...
  2. Flygon used U-Turn! (v2)

    Introduction This is my best team to date. I haven't played in almost a month, and I didn't post this team yet (even though I usually post a new team up pretty quickly) because I kept changing the team and improving it. There's actually a story behind this team. If you played DPPtHGSS...
  3. 4th Gen battler wanting to get back onto the scene

    Nice team, it wasn't easy to identify threats. the choice scarf gyarados was a little weird to me though. Opposing Gyarados looks like trouble, since after a DD, offensive gyarados outspeeds your team and bulky gyara will speed tie. You could whittle it down with Intimidate, but it still does a...
  4. Revenant Machine - An OU Try Hard Team

    Really cool team, you seem to employ a lot of Pokemon that happen to be my favourites, and our team styles are similar. Nice! In the beginning, about Starmie and a Babiri berry (which resists steel), I think you meant Colbur berry for dark. Just pointing it out cause I thought that was weird...
  5. Heart Gold team help

    i am genuinely sorry for that, but the analyses are really just right there. try to find mostly or all OU pokemon and make a team out of that, otherwise there is not a good chance it'll do well even if built well.
  6. Heart Gold team help

    follow the smogon analyses, wherever you're getting your movesets from, every single one is crap. your EVs aren't even being used and stealth rock is no where on this team. your items and natures don't make sense either. serious and docile? there's a reason i had to actually look up what those...
  7. The Big Team That Couldn't

    No problem, and good luck with the team! If you need any more suggestions, just post and I'll try my best to help.
  8. The Big Team That Couldn't

    Okay, so I've been battling for a long time and I like to rate. I'll point out some threats first: 1. Lucario Agility Lucario, though not common, is probably the most threatening thing to this team. If it gets any chance to set up at all, then it will KO your entire team as long as...
  9. HGSS 1Drag1Mag

    I could run Ice Punch on Swampert, and the speed EVs are only for Blissey and Machamp. And I see your point, if I run Impish I could just run 0 EVs and get more speed. Other than to Taunt, Gliscor often expect Ice Beam and switch out anyway. In that case, I can add to Special Defense no problem...
  10. Gen 4semi-baton pass team

    I don't play doubles, but i play a lot of competitive singles and i can give you some suggestions. Doubles play is usually fast paced, and i dont see how toxic stall is going to do well. attacking is usually a better option. An alternative is burning the opponent, which, if they keep switching...

    Here's a replay of a successful Kingdra sweep. Celebi was their best answer to Kingdra, I didn't know they'd expect me to have Signal Beam, but they forfeit before Celebi got to die. http://pokemon.aesoft.org/replay-Smiles1-vs-sunk1ng--2012-09-01
  12. HGSS 1Drag1Mag

    And I thought Suicune was awesome, this team is officially 2Drag1Mag. Kingdra (F) @ Life Orb Ability: Swift Swim EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Rain Dance - Surf - Dragon Pulse - Signal Beam / Hidden Power [Electric] That's my current Kingdra. The only...
  13. HGSS 1Drag1Mag

    Thanks, Swampert is indeed very good. I've actually had tons of matches decided by my overuse of Roar, even when the opponent isn't setting up. Swampert + Jirachi + Gengar defeats Flygon pretty well too. And thanks for suggesting a Kingdra set. I've been using this team for a while and the main...
  14. HGSS 1Drag1Mag

    Introduction I loved the days when 4th gen was the current metagame. I'm too busy to start learning about the B/W metagame. I know a bit, but I just don't have any energy or motivation to actually make (or copy) a team and go play it. Plus, B/W is highly weather-based and is still developing...
  15. First Competitive Team, Need help!

    Well since this is your first team, I'll give some concepts as advice. Venusaur is not often used in OU, as Roserade does the Sleep Powder job better, and Breloom is also a grass-type but with the more accurate Spore. Skarmory and Blissey are defensive Pokemon, Vaporeon and Venusaur can be...
  16. 4th Gen "Explosion" offensive team

    SORRY i just read my old post and i realize i sounded really mean. i was mad when i wrote it, i have no idea why i was on the smogon forums anyway. but i really think that Infernape could do anything your Blaziken is doing right now. Infernape has naturally higher speed and almost the same...
  17. 4th Gen "Explosion" offensive team

    I'm not so sure that you understand how speed works. I'd choose to outspeed my almost equally fast opponent and KO / hit it, rather than being 10% stronger and getting KOed instantly. Basically, it's usually preferable to choose +Speed natures instead of +Atk/SAtk. No offense, but I laughed...
  18. Rate This Team / Team Suggestions

    In game teams are not supposed to be here, I believe. And for the battle frontier, google is your friend. And if you wanna go into competitive, or even regular battling, here are so IMPORTANT tips. EVs exist. So do natures, abilities, and items. Raichu with 3 electric attacks? Toxic...
  19. Nidoking - Underated Sweeper.

    It's exactly this kind of weird shit that make me always make all my gender'd pokemon females. I never have a single male pokemon on any of my teams. And if I were to face you, it'd be perfect. Attract is another reason why some people just take a little bit of time to make all their Pokemon...
  20. First Ubers Team

    I'm pretty sure Roserade is not viable in ubers at all. Plus, Spikes + Sleep Powder don't work together. And it looks like you just crammed a bunch of random Pokemon together. - You have Spikes with no spin-blocker - There is no possible way you can get up 3 layers of spikes, so Toxic...
