Although Omastar has slight more SpA, higher defenses and Speed, its secondary Rock typing is more of a curse than a blessing in the lower tiers.
Although its poor base 55 Speed stat means that it won't be outspeeding +1 Adamant Salamence in the rain (without using a +Speed nature and detracting from its attacking power), Omastar still manages to hit the bare minimum Speed stat required of a Swift Swim sweeper (the 209 Speed required to outrun +Speed Scarf Heatran in the rain).

Should be "slightly".
Salamence isn't OU anymore. This and other mentions of Salamence should probably be removed from the article ...

In that article, it mentions Salamence, which is now Uber, but I'm sure they are talking about the OU tier.
Type of Pokémon to use in Trick Room
When picking Trick Room the Speed of the Pokémon plays a major role. Pokémon like Salamence and Gengar thrive on being faster than common threats. Mamoswine often runs a Jolly nature to out run an Adamant Lucario, while Magnezone is equipped with a Choice Scarf so it doesn’t have to worry about max Speed Scizor. The metagame is dependent on who is faster than who and outpacing certain threats. While running Trick Room the opposite is in effect. You want as little Speed as you can to out run the faster Pokémon while under its effects. Anything over base 100 Pokémon is risky to use inside of Trick Room, and for the purpose of this guide I will limit myself to the Pokémon that fit within these boundaries.
This section is designed to inform the reader of how you can fit it onto a team. This link describes the purpose of the team options quite well.
Once your analysis is moved into the proper subforum, other users will begin posting comments and revisions of your work. Be sure to incorporate their changes, but only if you agree with them. Eventually, when you think your analysis is done, PM the appropriate mods and they will check it over. Consult this link to see who to ask.
To finish up the grammar stage, members of the Grammar / Prose team (currently taking applications; check here) perform two final checks. After that, the mod in charge of the analysis performs a final check and uploads it.

Hidden Power Ice strikes Dratini and the Grass-types that would otherwise wall this set.
Shouldn't it be everything? =ohttp://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/infernape said:Although somewhat tricky to set up, Infernape can become a viciously powerful offensive threat after just one Swords Dance, capable of OHKOing or 2HKOing everyone in Ubers.
I realize the last part doesn't really matter, but the sets and natures need to be fixed.If picking off weak Pokémon in the late-game or doing a lot of damage in the early-game is your cup of tea, definitely consider Carvanha for a team slot -- because it certainly will not disappoint.
There should be a space between the period after "Close Combat" and "Clefable," while the last three words should read "foolproof counter" instead of "full proof counter."scare away Snover with Close Combat.Clefable's ability allows it to walk all over Toxic, Leech Seed, and hail damage quite easily, making it a full proof counter.
it allows Vacuum Wave to KO most Bronzong after a single Fire-type attack
The combination of Waterfall and Bounce, however, is only resisted Empoleon and Lanturn.
Toxic is nasty surprise for these Pokemon, especially on a Choice set.

The last sentence of the second paragraph of set comments of the Endeavor Lead is missing a period.

The fourth sentence of set comments on the bulky DD set should read, "only resisted by Empoleon and Lanturn."

The fourth sentence of the second paragraph of set comments for the Choice Scarf set, after the semicolon, is missing an "a." It should read, "Toxic is a nasty surprise for these pokemon, especially on a Choice set."
