It's a great way to learn how replays work.

Great way.

Bumping the thread :]

If you don't know who I am, my name is GreenGogoatttt and I was picked up at the Midseason Auction by HeaLnDeaL and his team, the Mighty Morphin' Mollux Rangers. Unfortunately, we were eliminated so I decided to show all the teams I made for this season (I never used any of them because I never played lol).

Description

This was the first team I built and it's centered around the ability to have Trick Room for 8 turns with Fidgit. I gave it Mental Herb for the item to avoid taunt from Thundurus or Talonflame. For the moves, I had duel stabs which do hit big threats in the metagame such as Heatran and Mega Gardevoir. Trick Room as it's the main focus of the team and Protect because it's doubles. 252 HP Evs, 40 Def Evs, and a Bold Nature allow Fidgit to usually take two -1 Double Edges from Adamant Mega Kangaskhan. 252 HP Evs and 216 SpD Evs allow Fidgit to never be OHKOd from Timid Mega Gardevoir Psychic. Next I added Hoopa-U as another Trick Room setter and a Trick Room attacker. The EVs I stole from somewhere on Smogon but they allow Hoopa to survive a -1 Return. I then added Max Attack, 4 in SpD to get the extra point, and the rest in Special Attack. Tomohawk was added next to provide intimidate support the calcs on Fidgit and Hoopa. The EVs allow Tomohawk to take a spread Timid Hyper Voice from Mega Gardevoir and rest in Special Attack. Double waters were added next to be more Trick Room attackers. The Volcanion EVs allow it to take two -1 Earthquakes from Adamant Landorus-T and one Modest Life Orb Draco Meteor from Hydreigon. I decided to not run any speed EVs on Azumarill since this is fullroom. Finally, I had Mega Kangaskhan to provide Fake Out pressure to help Trick Room to go up, along with another strong attack.

Description

When I learned I wasn't going to be battling I found out I only needed one team and I was very satisfied with the FullRoom team so I never ended up finishing this. BlueSkiddoWeCanToo used a completed team of this Week 5. The main idea is to use the synergy between Mega Gardevoir and Colosoil along with the redirection of Krilowatt to blow through the opposing team. The EVs on Krilowatt allow it to take two -1 Returns from Adamant Mega Kangaskhan, two -1 Adamant Earthquakes from Landorus-T, outspeed Jolly Breloom, and 2 Timid Hyper Voices from Mega Gardevoir. Tomohawk was then added for Intimidate support and a nice ground immune. The EVs allow for the 2HKO on Amoonguss with Air Slash, take two -1 Returns from Adamant Mega Kangaskhan, and take a spread Hyper Voice from Timid Mega Gardevoir.

Description

When I was told by Heal that I might have to sub in for BW week 5 I was flustered since I've never played a game of bw cap in my life lmao. Anyways, I wanted to build around Bulk Up Revenankh as it's one of my favorite cap mons. Added Tar to trap other ghost types and to hit flying types for se damage. Looking Tomohawk weak I added Washtom to switch in and pivot around while throwing out wisps. Grass types then looked good against my team so I added Tran to beat them well also providing rocks. I then threw on Dnite as a Sun check and another win con. Reuniclus holds the team together providing a 3rd win con and helps against Tomohawk.

This was a team I built that got unused. I wanted to build around cb terrak and mega garde to break apart teams really. I added roak to add rocks and honestly just wanted to build with roak, as its not a mon I use often, and starmie as a spinner and more offensive presence. I fell in love with ScarfNape in testing, it's my check to Caw as well as general speed and usually my lead, scout, etc. Colo is a generally good mon that I find hard not to fit on my teams, helps gain momentum, poison check, general special sponge. I've realized that this doesn't handle well into bird spam or flying types in general, especially with my main physical tank being weak to them.

I signed up for ORAS and BW, and probably shouldn't have let my rose tinted glasses get me to sign up for BW. After playing my two matches, and getting handily beaten both times, I realize I need a little (and by little, I mean lot) more work put in to get good at BW in specific, but this game as a whole. Regardless, this is the BW team I used in my first match in w2, and I feel this is the best team I made. I felt like building around a core I know well from my past, so I picked the ever popular Keldeo-TTar core, using scarf Keldeo and lead TTar. I added Tomo next to deal with grasses like Breloom as well as spin, realizing I wanted to add Auru because of it generally appreciating what Keld does. Jirachi and Jellicent form the defensive backbone of the team, Rachi providing Wish support for the offensive firepower, and Jellicent being a Keldeo counter/check depending on what hidden power it runs, as well as handling physical attackers well. I really feel I didn't do this team justice, as I played terribly the one game I felt comfortable using it. I won't share my w3 team just bc it has waaaay bigger flaws (not having an alakazam check being the main one I realized... :|). All in all, I'm glad to have been a part in this tour, and I'm excited to keep improving till the next one. Go Cyclohms :)
