Don't have time to make an RMT

It shouldn't take long. Just post an importable with three-or-so lines of description for each mon as to their purpose. It doesn't have to be very elaborate like you would do for, say, a 1k RMT, as you just want feedback and improvement for an existing team. At the end of the day, it is called Rate My Team, which implies that it is primarily there for players to ask for help regarding teams rather than as some mass team archive.

If you want me to give my two cents on it without posting it in the RMT sub-forum, feel free to send me a PM with a little bit about each teammate's purpose and I'll try my best to help you out with it. However, if you want the opinions of more than just me, your best bet is probably to make a post there.
 
nah whimsi is an ok special attacker, ive had some success with it in lower tiers though i dont know how well it would translate to OU
 
Oo cool.

'Nother q; after UUPL there was a 'dumping thread' for innovative and niche movesets and teams. Is/was there such a thread for OU sets too?
 
Hey guys i'm looking for some help from the mods for a great idea i've been talking to some people about. I had this idea that would increase the viability of many more pokemon in the OU meta since teams are getting increasingly similar and its becoming stale seeing the same 7 dozen pokemon in OU all the time. If a mod could pm me id like to discuss the idea as it would bring many NU RU and UU pokes back into viability with the help of Nintendo

Does anyone have a good Hoopa-U AoA and/or Scarf set? Explanation of EV spread and nature/ general idea of what KOs I should be getting/ any moves that are basically "mandatory" on Hoopa (the way secret sword is "mandatory" on keldeo) would be greatly appreciated. Also how important is BP on Mega Metagross at the moment?

quick edit: i'm not sure what exactly scarf hoopa does beyond "late-game cleaning" so if someone could point me in the direction of a sample team using scarf hoopa would be nice.

You should check out the WIP hoopa analysis, which has descriptions of an AoA set and a scarf set.
 
I am having a difficult time beating stall teams. For example, the really popular Gothitelle / Sableye-Mega / Quagsire / Amoonguss / Skarmory / Chansey team is something I am consistently failing to win against. Could someone recommend some effective ways to break that team and others similar to it, pretty please? (:

Pokemon that break this particular team build include : certain Megas like Taunt MGardevoir (when Skarmory is weakened), MGyarados with Sub or Taunt your own Mega Sableye, and Mega Pinsir (once again, Skarmory needs to be weakened depending on the spread) regular stallbreakers with Shed Shells and paired with a Pursuiter like Togekiss and Rain Dance Manaphy. There are a load of wallbreakers this team relies on Goth to beat and needs to sack a Pokemon to handle, so you can take advantage of that by ensuring the removal of a Pokemon early-game and working from there. Finally, you can overload walls with stuff like Talonflame+Bisharp or XZard+Weavile, which forces too much damage on one particular Pokemon for it to keep healthy throughout the battle.

I myself am experimenting with Shed Shell Manaphy + Pursuit Trapper to kill Goth although I heard Mega Gard with Healing Wish support works well against these teams. Good luck beating cancer though.

EDIT: Didn't read the previous post.
 
Where could I find full set details for the Mega Sableye/Gothitelle/Amoonguss/Quagsire/Skarmoy/Chansey stall team that's become popular, recently? I keep seeing it talked about and mentioned but get confused since I don't know its details.
