Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
This is a very interesting team! I especially liked your reasoning for not running stealth rocks (perhaps the most broken move in all of pokemon) on your team. This goes to show that a lot of thought was put into it and everything is the way that it is for a reason
I think its for the lulz when u get hit while alseep and then land recover with sleep talk putting u back @ full life. Obviously its not optimal, but I do see it being situationally useful!
Heyyy not running def ev on your blissey really causes issues against set up special attackers. Also since its normal type and doesn't add any offensive synergy . I recommend replacing bliss with specially defensive unaware clef able or quagsire
I don't like how this team has no ways to get rid of hazards from the enemy. No Pokemon even capable of running rapid spin/Defog makes it painfully obvious that you will be leading smeargle. I know that smeargle is unpredictable , but there are Pokemon that shut down 90% of its sets ,(...
So, I notice that you have a talon flame and no defogger on your team. Defog is much more reliable at getting rid of hazards because magic bounce doesn't stop it, and ghost types cant block it.
There will also be times where you may need to sack your starmie in order to get off a rapid spin...
Bad idea, sometimes people leave smogon for an extended period of time and then come back later. Having their account deleted just gives no incentive to ever come back. Just get more creative with your username, language is infinite afterall.
I am a fan of this troll team! Essentially it seems to me that you have 5 support pokemon and your goal is to weaken the enemy team until you can sweep with your nidoking. Unfortunately, this type of play style simply isn't viable against taunt users.
Although, in my experience taunt isn't...
Hey, I'm new to these forums. I have a copy of pokemon Y, and black. I want to get a clean (0 EV's) flawless shiny adamant lucario with its hidden ability, justified. Gender doesn't matter, and I don't need any egg moves on it either.
Is there any way to RNG this pokemon in black or Y; or...
Sounds like some solid advice, but what is the optimal way to use heatran? I've never played a heatran before so I don't know what the best way to play it is. Removing the choice scarf on latias makes it so that dragon dancers sweep my team if they come in on a pokemon that can't do much...
Since you are having trouble vs fast leads that run taunt, I suggest modifying your celebi set as follows:
Celebi @ Mental Herb
Ability: Natural Cure
- Magic Coat
- Baton Pass
- Swords Dance
- Seed Bomb
You can keep your EV's and nature. The main point here is that celebi is a...
Glad it helped! Although I personally prefer to not lead with azelf against a lopunny team, as I usually want to get more out of my azelf than a single stealth rock.
If you want to experiment with some other azelf lead sets, here is the one I run:
Azelf @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate...
