Yeah, you post the warstory just HERE. The same forum where you found this simple questions and answers thread.Is there anywhere to post warstories now that stark mountain is gone ?
Pretty much hit the nail on the head. Moves can also be a threat, like Toxic to a stall Gastrodon. Your team will always have threats, but how you prepare for those threats is what makes your team great.A threat to a Team is a pokemon that can cause a lot of trouble to that team
For example, your team is Dragonite, Salamence, Hydreigon, Alataria, Tyranitar and Ninjask. This team sucks, i know, but it is only ab example. Mamoswine is a HUGE threat to this team because he can hit supereffectivily all pokes.
Anoter way to be a threat:
If you have only special sweepers on your team, obviouslt Blissey is a threat.
If you want to win consistently, you should never use a full stall team. Use Semi stall instead. It's basically a core of no more than three or so stall pokemon along with revenge killers that can threaten offensive pokemon that can and willl try to break though your stall.I am not really big in OU, I play RU much more. However I am intersted in creating a stall team. Are there any articles, theads, RMTs, Etc that anyone can suggest?
The Defense of the Titans project was designed to encourage stall play in BW2. In the competition, which if I remember correctly has ended, people tried to win top ladder spots with stall teams, and quite a few did. It also has a lot of stall discussion and helpful hints.I am not really big in OU, I play RU much more. However I am intersted in creating a stall team.

http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4575363&postcount=1249What are some good counters/checks to sun teams? (I'm getting really tired of running Heatran in every team I make :l)
Sash Terrakion works well with rocks and taunt.*Sigh*
What are some good Deoxys-D replacements? Looks like our favorite fatass may be getting banned soon.
Custap Berry activates at 25%. If Forretress is hit for 60% it will no activate.What percentage HP does Custap activate at? What if Forretress is hit for 60%? Will it still activate?
Skarmory is another pokemon that learns Stealth Rock and Spikes has a built n Focus Sash as well as an ok speed (well not ok but not as terrible as Ferrothorn or Forretress) and can prevent set-up with Whirlwind taunt might be a problem but there are not many taunt useres outside of Deoxys-D, Sableye and Lead Terrakion.*Sigh*

In BW1, the reason was Salamence could only learn Outrage through Generation IV Move Tutors. Since Moxe Salamence was only obtainable through the Dreamworld, there was no way for Salamence to learn Outrage and have its ability be Moxie.Why is Dragon Dance, Outrage, and Moxie illegal on Salamence?
You reduce the accuracy of Thunder and Hurricane to 50% and allow you to skip the charging turn for Solarbeam.Is there any upside to sun over rain besides Chlorophyll, Fire Boosts, and Growth?
Also the damage dealt by Water-type attacks is halved as opposed to being multiplied by 1.5 in rain, meaning that Water-type attacks will be dealing 1/3 of the damage in sun that they would deal in rain.Is there any upside to sun over rain besides Chlorophyll, Fire Boosts, and Growth?
You should find all your answers in this and this thread.I've noticed alot of people talking about ladders. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that a ladder is like a leader board of sorts. Where can I find and participate in these? Also, in relation to suspect test ladders, wtf does " a Glicko2 rating of 2000 or higher and a Glicko2 deviation of 55 or lower" mean?
