Opponent contacted me, good luck to all. On the upside, I'm not around nearly enough to be intimidated by any names, so I probably have no idea how fucked I am.

In, but I'm not that active on the forums, but I battle a fair amount, so I'd definitely be active.

24 hour bump. it would be lovely if i could get some more feedback and make some moar changes.

So yeah, I'm liking CBNite, but I'm gonna do some more testing on it. Bonemerang is definitely a yes, and Slowbro just dies to Gengar far too often, CBNite actually helped alleviate some of those problems, because for whatever reason, Gengar just loves to stay in to eat a CB Outrage.

Not sure where you got Electivire from, I run a Marowak. CBNite looks nice, I do have a feeling I'll get trapped into Outrage too often for comfort. As for Slowbro, what should I replace? Cresselia?

Yes, but none of those pokemon commonly run 0 speed IV's with a speed hampering nature. And there's not much that hits as hard as Dragonite from both sides of the spectrum. And Bonemerang has the same base power as EQ, and breaks subs. I haven't done enough testing to see if it's really...

Yeah, I tested Rampardos yesterday and it died to everything. I'd never thought about Bonemerang honestly, but I'll test it out, it sounds better than EQ. Thanks for the rates!

I've thought about Rampardos > Marowak, but Marowak's defense hurts to give up, it sponges CB Scizor's Bullet Punches like a champ. I'll test Rampardos now, thanks for the rates.

Reserved for threat list. Currently the only threats to my team are ridiculous amounts of Octillery and Dragonite hentai. *shudders*

INTRODUCTION Well, I found a team labeled "outrick" on my desktop, without any recollection of how it got there. Being the naturally curious man that I am, I opened the Team Builder and found this team. It's been very fun to battle with at the very least, and I'd say it's netted me a win...

I think that your Slowking should be more defensive, rather than wasting turns of Trick Room setting up Nasty Plots. The goal of a Trick Room team is to have threats that hit fucking hard without setting up, and then setting up Trick Room to make them go first. I also noticed you only had one...

CurseTalk Registeel is a beast, it adds both to its defense, and boosts its attack to sky high levels, once your set up, Iron Head alone will ruin things. Registeel @ Leftovers EV's: 252 HP | 40 ATK | 216 SP. DEF Nature: Careful -Curse -Iron Head -Rest -Sleep Talk Good luck with your team!

According to the defense ev applet, if you want donphan to be equally bulky towards special and physical attacks, you should run 92 HP/252 Atk/164 Sp. Def if you want to keep the adamant nature and all the Atk EV's. However, if you ask me Sp. Def on Donphan is useless as with a base 60 Sp. Def...

Have you considered Porygon2 over Mesprit? It messes up a large portion of the metagame with Trace, getting Flash Fire boosts from Heatran, Water Absorb health from Vaporeon, it intimidates Gyarados etc. Porygon2 @ Leftovers Nature: Quiet Ability: Trace EV's: 108 HP | 200 DEF | 200 SP...

Use Return on Linoone over Shadow Claw. The only ghosts in UU that are OHKO'd by +6 Shadow Claw, and aren't OHKO'd by +6 Seed Bomb are Drifblim (2.2% usage), Dusclops (1.0% usage), Max Defense Rotom (<5.8% usage) and Shedinja (1.5% usage). Meanwhile, Return does MASSIVE damage on any steel-type...
