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.
Double Dance Terrakion is awful. Luke and Terrakion aren't really the same, since one has a way to beat priority/scarfers/fast mons, while the other just hits a bunch of stuff really hard before it dies
I was incredibly confused as to why you didn't just set up Rp against Tenta, since you weren't KOing him at that percentage, and you were guaranteed +1 / +2, but I'm awful at this game, so I probably missed something
Thanks a ton, man, this is exactly the kind of poke I was looking for. Forry just isn't worth it for the sake of spinning, seeing as he was completely useless other than that. Rachi will be a much better team player than him, and actually pose a threat to other rain teams, rather than be death...
Toed is already specs, and Scizor has been replaced with Lando-T. I still am very weak to Electric and possibly grass types, like Zapdos and Thundurus-T, for sure, but I can largely play around them. Lando can reliably get out SR after switching into most physical attackers, and that leaves...
I'd rather not use Starmie, just because it compounds my Electric weakness. My core of Keldeo, Toed, and Tornadus-I is weak to Electric, that much is unavoidable, but I don't want to make Thunder spamming a 100% win against my team.
I really like the idea of Landorus-T, so I'm gonna test him out. Bulky with Intimidate is a great combination, even if I don't really need him for Jirachi that much, seeing as Specs Hydro Pump is pretty damn close to an OHKO on it in rain. Gyro Ball is a given, so I will definitely do that if...
Introduction: So, with everyone's favorite bug no longer in OU, I wanted to make a new team that abuses the next most broken strategy: Rain. To this end, I compiled a number of sets that had worked for me in the past, with a focus on setting hazards, and whittling away at the enemy team with...
Rotom does a lot more than just resist water. He's my main check to rain teams, since he can take a bunch of hits and then pain split back to decent hp. He is more of a bulky water than damage dealer, and life orb latias kinda doesn't do the same thing at all.
I explained my reasoning for Giga...
So I have been out of the scene for about 2-3 years at this point. I recently went on showdown and used a stolen, out-of-date team to reach an illustrious 7-2 record, and thought I might try my hand at the wonderful activity of teambuilding. Since I lack creativity, this is essentially just...
