I believe this should be changed to "Alakazam is one of the most powerful special sweepers in the UU tier, if not the most powerful", or something along those lines, because if you take out "if not the most", it reads "Alakazam is one of the most powerful special sweeper..." which is clearly incorrect.Alakazam Analysis~ Overview said:Alakazam is one of the most, if not the most, powerful special sweeper in the UU tier.
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/salamenceSalamence is one of the few Pokémon who lack definitive counters, given its ridiculous versatility and ability to hit hard with both attacking stats.Nevertheless, your best bet against it is to let it take residual damage by forcing it to switch out or simply revenge killing it after it has locked itself into Outrage.
Coolio, thanks.A space is missing in the OU counters section for Salamence.

All you really need to do is add an 's' to the end and it should be fine, I believe. I fixed it.I believe this should be changed to "Alakazam is one of the most powerful special sweepers in the UU tier, if not the most powerful", or something along those lines, because if you take out "if not the most", it reads "Alakazam is one of the most powerful special sweeper..." which is clearly incorrect.
It's possible you're right but it seems to me that the sentence sets up two possible situations and "sweeper" has to agree with both of them. Adding an S makes it agree with the first situation, but not the second:All you really need to do is add an 's' to the end and it should be fine, I believe. I fixed it.

This isn't really a grammatical error, but for the team options section for alakazam, it mentions the calm mind set numerous times and yet there is no calm mind set, and in fact calm mind isn't listed as an option for any of the 5 sets.
There's only one other set mentioned in this analysis beyond the Choice Bander. Sets should not be plural in this sentenceMax out Speed and HP for the other sets, putting the leftovers in Defense or Special Defense, it won't matter much.
Actually, Smeargle is last.I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I think this deserves being checked out.
I'm looking at http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/breloom, and it says Breloom has the 3rd lowest bst in the opinion section. Actually, I believe it is the 2nd, with only Ninjask below it.
You two forgot about Smeargle.I checked this out to see if Breloom does have the second lowest BST, and according to this, it does. Great catch. I fixed it.
in the Other Options.Double-Edge can be used on the Choice Band set with Rock Head as the ability. Double-Edge has a neutrality edge on Aerodactyl's other attacks and can be used to lighten the need for prediction.
Sleep Talk + Outrage
252 HP / 220 Atk / 36 Spe
The EVs on this set are more offensively-orientated because of Altaria's natural bulkiness and because it's important for Altaria to hit hard with Outrage, since the opponent will likely switch to their best counter once Altaria uses Rest. The 20 Speed EVs are all that is needed to outpace all Moltres and other base 90s after a Dragon Dance.
Changed to hypothetical CB set.http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/aerodactyl
there is no choice band set yet it still mentions that
in the Other Options.
Smogon's Team Builder is also confused in that it still lists a Choice Band as possible sets as well.
Second one in set comments was incorrect, made that fix.In the Altaria analysis for the Sleep Talk + Outrage set it says in the description to use 20 Spe EVs, but the set lists 36 Spe EVs. One of these should be corrected.
