I was thinking over building a team, going over threats and what not, when I was stuck on what I could use to counter Manaphy OUTSIDE of using Blissey. I mean, not much can switch in after a Tail Glow and take a Surf/Ice Beam/Energy Ball and counter hard enough to KO it's 100/100/100 defenses...

I tried to find the last thread, but my searches brought nothing so I decided to reopen the book on usable gimmick movesets. Here's one I though up. . . Alakazam*Focus Sash Counter (Emerald Tutor) Trick/Knock Off Energy Ball/Grass Rope/Shadow Ball/Focus Bomb Psychic The idea is to lead with...

I know Gliscor can and can AA back, and Weezing and Skarm can wall Hera well, but what about the sand hippo? Hippowdon has high defenses and high hp, but it doesn't resist anything but Stone Edge. Any experiences or opinions out there?

does ambipom have anything over weavile? I notice many people like to U-Turn and Fake Out with Ambipom for a quick hit, but Weavile is a faster Fake Out user (though lacks U-Turn) and has more attack power. Ambipom: * STAB + Technicianed Fake Out * can U-Turn Weavile: * can revenge kill...

Emerald was nice enough to add some new moves for it's current gen for some pokes so I was thinking, what do you guys want to see. Just a random musing if you will. . . 1. Lucario with Dragon Dance - he has this whole mystic vibe going on (what with being the aura pokemon, learning Aura Sphere...

We all know about that pink fat whore, but I was wondering what other pokes can heal and support even close to what Blissey can. I know Miltank does fairly well with high defenses, two good abilities (Thick Fat for more defense, Bravery for more attack and not to be walled by Ghosts). Chimecho...

I want to use Megayanma as my scout/starter. This is the moveset I have so far: Ability: Speedboost Nature: ???(Def-,SpAtk+ maybe?) Item: Focus Sash Protect Air Slash U-Turn Hypnosis I'm going to try and get his Speed around 271 to reach 406 speed after a Speed Boost while dumping all the...

I'm still in the very early stages of building my team, but I know I want Mamoswine on it as my lead. Mamoswine Gender: Male Item: Choice Band Nature: Adamant Ability: Oblivious (not a hail team and I got one with good IV's) Trait: Proud of it's power Ice Shard Earthquake Stone Edge Ice...

Move: Disable Accuracy: 80 Damage: -- Effect: Disable's opponent's last move. Since RBY, Disable has often been ignored because of it's lousy 55 accuracy and so-so effect. However, with Choice Items running around and an increased accuracy to 80, could this move finally see competititve use...

I've been thinking of using a BPer on my team (not as a whole team strat, but just one guy to pass on). Just had some things I'd like to have cleared up: 1. Does Taunt have a modifier that makes the user go first or last? 2. Can Taunt be prevented by Taunt? 3. Does Taunt bypass Subs? 4...

thinking about putting this guy on my team Driftlim*Salac Berry Ability: Unburden 252 HP EV's, rest in both defenses? nature: ? ? ? Calm Mind Hypnosis Subsitute Baton Pass I don't plan on having him lead simply because Aero and Sneasel screw him up so bad it isn't even funny. However...

Looking at this poke, I thought I might try and use it on one of my future teams. Just some questions though: 1. Is she allowed in standard play? 2. Can she work on a Sandstorm team? I know Moonlight sucks badly during Sandstorm, but she switches very well into many waters and can set up...

It always seemed like a good move on me, but I don't see it talked too much about. The idea of a 5 turn auto agility for a whole team seems too good to be true and can screw up pokes who depend on going 1st (Aero or Mence I suppose). I was thinking of leading my team with this...

Was thinking about using this set on my TSS team: Roserade*Choice Scarf Weather Ball Leaf Storm Sleep Powder Sludge Bomb but I was wondering if Weather Ball becomes a special 100 rock attack. useful for countering bulky waters and possible salmence/steel switches (Choice Scarf sleep powder...

trying to find one, but many allow pokes (coughHeracrosscough) to switch in and sweep with little effort. any suggestions?

It seems this gen, some people keep hyping certain strong pokes (land Shark and Specsmence) while certain pokes seem to get ignored. Though I agree for the hype, I feel strongly that some pokes deserve some attention. NOTE: I'm not too good on EV spreads and such so I apologize in advance for...

I'm leaning towards Lucario (Subsitute, Swords Dance, Reversal, Crunch), but might stick with Meta, though his STAB offensive options are meh IMO. Bulky Waters hurt Meta more and having used a similar set with Tenta in Adv with great success, using it on Lucario might prove to be much better...

Man I feel stupid for asking this newbish but it's about EV's. Forgive me for it's been awhile since I've been doing this. I was skimming through Serebii's D/P pokedex when I started to look through the stats and it made me think: Crobat's max speed (beneficial nature+) is listed as 394. Now...

This guy seems to get a lot of talk and his prevo was one of my faves from Adv, but I just can't seem to come up with a good MS for him. Dusknoir Item: Leftovers Nature: SpA-, De+ OR SpD+ (haven't decided just yet though maybe De+ to handle Heracross) EV's: 252 HP, others? Pain Split (to dent...

Hi, new to smogon (well, at least 1st time poster, been lurking for ahile), but anyways, with the advent of D/P there's been alot of things that hav just confounded me. I tried to check the topics regarding D/P but at over 20 pages each it was hard to find just the right info I wanted. Even then...
