  1. Collide

    Hey, great team you have here. I've always been a huge fan of sand, and the synergy is great. Virizion and Latias are some of my favorite pokes to use, and you did a great job. Also just wanted to say Skillet is awesome! I'm liking the song lyrics mixed in
  2. When team building for standard 5th gen OU, what do you personally take into account?

    Team building has gotten much more difficult now that so many pokemon are available for play, and extremely powerful ones at that. It's basically about which person can create a team capable of dealing with the top cores and team strategies. Of course every team will have trouble with a few...
  3. BW2 General Metagame Discussion Thread

    @Electrolyte What item is attached to Mamoswine in your calculations? I typically use life orb, and that seems to do the trick for me, and if your calcs don't include that, then that makes those potential OHKO's for sure. Even Expert Belt could make those hits much more likely to be OHKO's...
  4. PokeStats: Power and Accuracy in OU

    Whoops I should have clarified. I meant Lilligant, but somebody else posted Roserade also earlier in the forum, and they both function the same way due to high special attacks and STAB Leaf Storm, so either one could work.
  5. PokeStats: Power and Accuracy in OU

    Totally agreeing with what New World Order said. If you're going to be using something that is meant to KO threats, then a small chance of a OHKO is much better than no chance of a OHKO and a much higher chance of hitting. A great example is Lilligant: it's able to OHKO Tyranitar and Politoed...
  6. Salamence

    Well the reason Mamo was so low in usage was because BW2 hadn't really set in yet when the usage stats came out. Now that the metagame has shifted I'm sure that Mamo will see top 20 if not higher just as a check to all of the new threats that have just been released. However, I'm really...
  7. BW2 General Metagame Discussion Thread

    Heatran is a phenomenal Hurricane tanker. My rain team actually has a bit of trouble against solid defensive cores with him in it just because Tornadus-T isn't able to do much with a Hurricane, and my Focus Blast didn't even OHKO either. It's a pretty harsh stop to the new Therian genies bar...
  8. BW2 General Metagame Discussion Thread

    Yes! Meloetta!!!! Man did I love using that thing beginning of this gen. I love how its typing allows for an immunity to ghosts which psychics just would die for. So great as a bulky cm user, or a mixed attacker w/ the step form.
  9. BW Stall

    Hey, this isn't a bad stall team really. I would however recommend that you change up your Roserade. If you're running a stall team, then it would not be the best idea to have a suicide lead, especially if u need her later on to absorb toxic spikes. A great set for stall teams is...
  10. My First RMT

    Hey, welcome to Smogon! So I'm pretty much going to agree with everything that GodotFR said, but you could use a slightly different Forretress set to help you deal with Landorus and be less set up bait. Forretress@leftovers Bold -Spikes -Rapid Spin -Volt Switch -HP Ice 252 hp/200 def/56 spA I...
  11. RMT: FerroBro

    Hey, I'm just going to say that I love how you're using FerroBro. Slowbro is just such a boss, and works great in tandem with Ferro. I would recommend that you make the team more defensive, or at least balanced though. It seems like Heatran with Stealth Rock in place of Alakazam would do a...
  12. 2Stronk

    This looks like quite a solid team, especially for making it so quickly, so congrats on that. I'm going to agree with Harsha on the Mew thing. Ice Beam is typically a better coverage move for him, allowing him to destroy dragons and such. Other than that, the only change I'd recommend is...
  13. Team Offensive Blitz (6 Choiced Pokes on One Team)

    If you're going with a fully choiced team, then I'd recommend making Starmie a specs variant with trick to cripple Pokemon who will come in and attempt to set up on you. I'd then make Salamence the standard ScarfMoxieMence to attempt late game sweeps once the rest of your team has done...
  14. CAP 14 CAP 3 - Part 14 - Sprite Poll 1

    Wyverii Doran Dragon
  15. OU Sandstall team

    I would recommend adding Roserade to your team. You need a good counter to rain teams, and grass typing is a great asset against them, while it can also sleep opponents and set up toxic spikes for you. Roserade@leftovers Calm -Toxic Spikes -Leaf Storm -Sleep Powder -Rest 252 hp/252 spD/4 spe...
  16. (Insert Name Here) F/W/G Core

    I'm going to agree with Doctor Who? CS Salamence is flat out amazing, and once he nets a KO the Moxie boost makes him stronger than Haxorus anyway, and the fighting resist could be very useful, although from my experience Salamence doesn't come in much as a defensive pokemon. I also agree with...
  17. The Ultimate Pokemon NPC

    I'm surprised that nobody has said the YOLO! guy. As much as I can't stand YOLO, I still find it hilarious that an NPC had said it so long ago
  18. Stalling in the Sand (OU RMT)

    Yeah, I'm going to agree with Max212. Your team has 3 water weaknesses, and you only have your one resist. It just isn't enough, especially if your Cradily gets tricked by a rotom-W that it's trying to counter. A minor change on Forretress, but I'd recommend changing the EV's to 252 hp/176...
  19. Learning the Ropes-Plead for Assistance

    I'm going to disagree with some of what JackBNimble is saying. Sun is not necessarily a bad weather, you just have to make sure that you are able to capitalize on the good aspects of it, such as chlorophyll abusers, which is where I agree with him. Meganium sucks, no offense, but he is just a...
