Darn son stop making my teams look like Pokepoop lol. I've been trying to be a bit more creative with my own teams using new EV spreads, moves and more nice mons then the common Ferrothorn, Rotom-W, Latios teams. I need you to be my sensei....
I honestly think that experience would be your best teacher. Once you have a better grasp of the meta, and have a feel for what is used a lot and is standard, then you can be a bit more creative in how you build. Also, ev spreads are not something that should be considered "creative" since choosing the optimal one for that particular mon and for that team is moreso a logistic aspect of teambuilding. If you want to differentiate yourself, just snoop around the lower tiers to see if there's anything that might catch your eye. The viability ranks are also helpful to see what is good or not. Just have fun with it though, since that's what drives most of us to build like this.
are you gay then fren? ;]
Still undecided :x
doesnt give me credit for making m aggron to work in ou :[-
you're one of my favorite teambuilders fren, and i've had the chance to battle/test with your earlier teams, ( your RP WP rhyp, m chomp sand stall that wrecked me a billion times, TR cele+ chandy 9.9)
i've seen you play these teams in your wcop run, and you make them work. Didn't know the sun+snorlax team was yours, that seems really fun, always wanted to make lax work in ou.
thank you for the fairy lock klefki/manaphy/ charizard team, helped me win the ou minitour with no deos, and for the really fun lando mane togekiss team. you're one of the most innovative teambuilders i know and i'm glad i talk to you on a regular basis :]
also sorry for always taking too long when we battle, i'm intimidated by you and always want to make the best decision. I'm not a very quick thinker :(
np, its fun playing against you too since the games end up pretty close and down to the wire. And I'm not that scary :< i try to be as approachable as can be, you wound me yet again you bully :[
these are bunch of average teams besides 16, that one is cool
nah these teams are nearly all good, I personally think that teams 8 and nine are the best (for the meta built in). Pretty cool how you are able to use so many mons, often mons not used alot and fit them on solid teams
Hello fellow toothpaste squeezer! I especially like team #9 as well, as it has influenced a lot of the builds i've seen in wcop, such as blue star vs. sinclair in finals. Wait, does this also mean that you think togekiss is not shit now? :(
Echoing pretty much everyone, these teams are pretty cool. Its interesting how you use this stuff that people say isn't good in OU and make it work, I think every team in here has a C or below rank mon, yet all the teams are pretty darn solid (or at least as solid as a team in XY can be). Keep it up!
(Also thanks for the extended shoutout through Stath's :), I've always considered myself talented but I struggle to find time to work on my teambuilding and game, hopefully that'll change soon though. This archive provides a ton of inspiration and I wanna try out some of this stuff, so yeah, thanks a ton!)
Well, building with this kind of stuff compels me to do it in the first place, facing the same standard teams and cores that is typical of ou kind of gets stale after a while so I try to get out of that mindset. As long as you have a motivation to get better than you'll get there soon enough. With oras coming, most people are just trying out new things, so if you're ever stuck, you can also try revamping old teams so that it would fit in that meta.
Yooo this is sick as hell, thanks for posting! I've always admired your builds and your ability to create solid teams around almost any mon, that's awesome. Do you have any advice for someone who's trying to be good at teambuilding? All of my teams end up OK at best, and some advice would be really awesome :~)
Thanks buddy! And i don't really know how to respond to this since I addressed this in numerous posts aleady. If you have something more specific you want to ask, feel free.
Wheres the Snorlax team you were supposed to use vs me on WCoP but didn't? I was always curious to know if my chances of winning would be better than the 80% I ended up having by needing to hit that Stone Edge >:(
lol I'm glad that I didn't, medicham would of wrecked me if I chose this (though alo woulda just dodged the hjk if need be hehe bwoi). And yeah, I factored everything relevant into account playing against you, but got popped by subsdsalac landt so it should of been your win in all honesty. I would have rather gone out with a bang using that team than hax my way to victory using disgusting stall if that means anything (team wouldn't let me), so sorry that it had to come to that.
