I've been using Golduck with Volbeat support in the DW tier and they are just great together. Golduck has enough coverage to be an offensive threat with +3 and speed boost from salac berry and it resists some of the attacks usually used against volbeat. Cloud nine prevents weather pokémon from...

I beat the game yesterday with the following team: Blaze I started the game with Tepig, since I never start my games with fire types and I wanted something different this time. It was probably my most powerful member until the ground gym, when my other pokemon were equally good or maybe...

I've tested a triples/doubles wigglytuff, with a supporting shuckle. Shuckle uses guard share and then wigglytuff can put that amazing hp stat to good use and actually survive matches against the big OU guys. For example, salamence outrage did nothing to it and even roobushin has trouble KOing...

Poliwrath simply isn't ban material. It is a good pokemon with rain, sure, but it needs a turn to set up. I don't see why people think that poliwrath should be banned when there are so many other pokemon that only need one setup turn and then can sweep entire teams that aren't even being...

I would have to say that the most surprising pokemon in my team right now is swift swin poliwrath. Yes, it is a swift swimmer, but it doesn't have the stats nor the movepool to abuse it like kingdra or kabutops. However, it is pretty effective if sent against something weak to it, using...

There is one thing that I didn't get: If a pokemon is able to counter even one of the biggest OU threats (rain sweepers) how is it useless? It probably was in the 4th gen OU tier, but now it has a nice niche. People need to think outside the box sometimes. P.S: No, I don't use...

Pelipper with thunder or even volt change would be awesome. It can learn U-Turn, so an eventual volt change isn't that impossible (just a little). Another good pelipper partner would be seaking. It can defeat grass types with megahorn or even poison jab, has waterfall that deals nice damage in...

I've been using a pelipper and I have to say that, right now, it is doing great. It can defeat the common fighting types with ease using windstorm, recover health using roost. I also use submersion to mess up the switching tyranitar or random pokemon to nullify their stabs (it is also awesome to...

I've been using Meganium on my team and it is doing great with counter/outrage/dragon tail/ reflect. I will probably change its moveset later, because outrage isn't that good, but it is nice surprising the unfortunately common dragon types with a super effective attack. It is definitely an UU...

Sheesh, you guys take things too literally. Usually, by that I mean, a lot of times, Jirachi will use iron head to flinch hax. I'm not saying there aren't other sets that it will use, because it is a very capable pokemon even when using a different set. And I'm not sure if I read the right...

I didn't say it was his only strategy, pal, I said it's the one that 99% of jirachi users actually use. And in the end we would have to rely on very specific counters, the same way we would have to use specific counters to beat inconsistent members. I'm not saying they are the same, I'm just...

I'm not sure if this has already been discussed, but if you are talking about luck, why not ban jirachi? Every jirachi I face has the same strategy: try to flinch hax you to death, not so different from incosistent users that stall until they get their needed boosts. Really, that particular...
