Hey Pocket what are the EVs you are using for your Kingdra? Can you show us the set in a clearer format? I just want to know so that I can try it out?

Kingdra @ Dragon Fang
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 24 Atk / 252 SpA / 232 Spe
Mild or Rash Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Hydro Pump
- Draco Meteor
- Outrage
You can use Surf > Hydro Pump @ LO for similar power while gaining more oomph in your Dragon moves than with Dragon Fang's 20% boost. The lack of recoil helps preserve its bulk, though.

I will edit this post if manage to reach Hall of Fame standings or to post my Smeargle set.
SMEARGLE @ Silk Scarf
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 Atk | 252 Spe | 4 HP
Nature: Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
Moveset: Spore | Belly Drum | ExtremeSpeed | V-Create
This set is amazing, I just love this set because its so powerfull as ExtremeSpeed + V-Create just demolishes stuff late game. I know that V-Create makes Smeargle weak to priority and stuff like that, but Smeargle is extremely frail from before and as it has ExtremeSpeed so the speed is really not needed, after it has V-Created. This set is more off a late game sweeper set and does that great, as this set is completely walled by fast ghost types and Heatran makes Dugtrio + Latios great team mates to help Smeargle out.

O.o sweeping with a smeargle, never heard of that haha looks like it could be legit though!
Edited my op switched to kabutops.

Unfortunately, while Dusknoir partners really well with powerhouses like Keldeo and Scizor, my competence in the ladder is too inconsistent for this challenge to be merited as a success. ;_;

Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Trait: Trace
EVs: 252 HP | 100 Def | 156 SpDef
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
Moveset: Recover | Toxic | Thunderbolt | Ice Beam
I've used Porygon2 in the past and have always loved it, so I was sad that even with Eviolite, it was UU. So why not put it on an OU team?
I'm debating what EV spread I'm going to work with, but for now this works.

Sorry if I keep changing Alt. I really forgot about this challenge after a couple of really solid matches and then the magical thing called DECAY happened. was 1.6k, once i tried again i was at 1.3k and hardly got anything for winning. Well, its a learning experience. Sorry if this is kind of spamming this thread.

Decided to try dropping Kingdra in favor of Salamence, so the post has to be updated. (Doesn't it?)
Hopefully last alt change. Getting somewhat close-ish to Hall of Fame on this alt.
Ending my challenge because I haven't used my Bellossom team since before the ladder reset and because I suck.
Might start a Dark Horse run again in the future with something else though.

:( was one point away from top 100 and then lost 2 games in a row and dropped to 1816....
I'll keep trying though, these damn dragmag teams.
