@Ninetales: Energy Ball barely damages, believe me. @Charizard: As someone else already suggested, exchange it to Heatran. I go even further, exchange it to ALMOST ANYTHING. @Venusaur Even with Chlorophyll you need Speed EVs, hitting 251 Speed is a decent value since it goes 502 in the...

Can't Giga Drain also be learned as an egg move? Disregard the fact of only male bulbasaur in Dream World?

Don't lead with Ninetales, he loses all possible weather wars, so you better threat all weather starters to gain a switch and then send in ninetales.

a) expand descriptions; b) make it look better; c) make it easier to read.

Are you sure this is the reason? Because Venusaur can get Giga Drain via egg move from Torterra (i might be wrong :p) in Gen V. Don't know if there's any other restriction on DW.

Yes, this is a Drought team Even though a team based on Sun could make a great use of Garchomp since the fire pokemons can deal perfectly well with the Steel pokemons, the decay of Drizzle teams based on the banning discussions of Politoed in the two major servers (PO & Smogon) is the main...

So, i have a different set for Ninetales, for a quite defensive one: Ninetales @ Leftovers/Chesto Berry Drought - Timid 196 HP / 48 Sp. Atk / 104 Sp. Def / 160 Speed - Flamethrower - Will-o-Wisp/Toxic - Protect/Rest - Roar 196 HP to hit a Leftovers number, so if you're using lefties...

Did you even run any calc to affirm flamethrower > seismic toss? Seismic Toss is neutral and trustworthy, besides not hitting ghosts it equally hits anything else. It doesn't boost Heatran. It hits bulky waters gracefully. Even with Sun up Flamethrower would hit a MAX of 75 damage against a...

Why not Chansey since you're dealing with a weather without residual damage?

Ok, am i the only one whom believes that has seem this team somewhere else? Not saying you copied or anything, just that it is a pretty obvious rain team :p

Flamethrower is enough to revenge kill Excadrill and OHKO Ferrothorn with minimal investment (210 Sp. Atk and 303 Speed). Of course, i agree with Overheat+Power Swap if the team has another method to apply Burn (like Sigilyph). Honestly, If going for Mixed Venusaur i have a better build...

ChestoRest works wonders. On Ninetales i've been using Flamethrower/Will-o-Wisp/Rest/Roar, with Chesto Berry and Aromatherapy Chansey in the team ;)

If you're not running A LOT of Sp. Atk EVs into Ninetales, anything nonFIRE is quite useless since it is quite a weak poke. The only way Ninetales can effectively kill is hitting with a Fire attack thanks to STAB+Sun, without getting any advantage from this it is just a wasted slot.

You should use a different Nature on Virizion if you're keeping HP Ice :p

As already stated in some other Sun teams, Focus Sash Ninetales is possibly the worst possible item to go. LeftoversProtect/ChestoRest. Hanging at 1 HP with entry hazards so commonly displayed is just a step back. Ok, you survived a OHKO and then what? Exactly against another weather team that...

May i suggest a Ninetales build? 196 HP for a Leftovers number 48 Sp. Atk to OHKO Excadrill with Flamethrower 160 Speed (Timid nature) to outspeed Jolly 252 Excadrill 104 Sp.Def or Def, up to you :) I've been running Protect over Energy Ball since Energy Ball does nothing to anything, nonstab...

Nice Scizor. I'll certainly test it :D

Hehe, now i can finally give an opinion. Well, this team seems great in a first look, but awful after some reading. Actually, my first thought was that you got the "basic drizzle", selected a sweeper and randomly chose the EVs. Politoed: The EVs are good but Perish Song > Toxic all day to break...

Honestly, Scarf Victini > Sawsbuck 112 Speed EVs allows you to outspeed anything on base 130 and hit them back with a V-Create (180 power+sun+stab+adamant nature (328 atk). Plus that it is able to U-turn and scout for you. a V-Create like that does around 70~80% on a standard Gliscor plus that...

Really tiny recomendation, but run 244HP / 176 Def / 88 Spe, since 244 is a Poison Heal number and will give you 1+ HP per turn :D
