What about Toxic Orb Zangoose? Zangoose w/Toxic Orb Ability: Toxic Boost Adamant/Jolly Nature ::Facade ::Night Slash ::Quick Attack ::Close Combat EV Spread: 252 Atk/4 SpD/252 Spe I only mention this set because of Sticky Web, which actually allows the base 90 Speed to outspeed a lot after...

It gets even more pointless with VoltTurn though. The point of the moves is to keep momentum, but what momentum is there to keep if you lead badly...? Prediction is very important if you don't have a dedicated or common lead to go with.

I usually lead with Skarmory or Klefki (whatever my Steel-type is) because they have the biggest chance of resisting the attacks of the opposing lead, but I've actually been going anti-lead a lot. Since Klefki and Skarmory are common leads, I noticed a lot of people sent in...

Hiyo! I'm kinda new to this site but I wanted to post my team here to get suggestions. I have a good amount of success with this team but there are a few things that completely destroy it, which I'll mention at the end. I like the format Support - Phys & Spec Sweeper - Tank - Drainer - Cleric...

Why hasn't the trap-stall set been mentioned yet? It is pretty awesome if you time it right: Milotic @ Leftovers/Grip Claw Calm/Bold Nature Trait: Marvel Scale ::Wrap/Whirlpool ::Toxic/Haze ::Scald ::Recover EVs and nature are up to your discretion, I personally don't bother curbing her...

Woah woah woahhhh broski. It's an awesome move but I wouldn't call it a complete game changer for every match. Defog or Rapid Spin eliminate it and force you to have to set it up again, and a lot of teams carry at least one of these moves. In addition to that, Defoggers aren't affected by the...

Prediction in lower ladders was so annoying I can't even... I've never seen a Tentacruel running Knock Off, but maybe that's just my luck. Deo-D has knocked off so many items of mine though >.< I wish this move was blockable like Rapid Spin, but Dark hits everything. Maybe this move could add...

Has anyone had any success with Wrap Milotic (trapping move buff)? I think she should do pretty well but you never really know until it's been tested in a battle...

Yes it heals 75% of damage dealt instead of 50%, making it recover just as much as other draining moves, it just deals less damage. What does the consensus say the best move set is for this little butterfly? QD, Bug Buzz, Hurricane, and Sleep Powder? Or would a coverage move be better for the...

** How does everyone think Cofagrigus will do this gen? He himself hasn't changed really but other Pokes have changed so much that he has much more viability now that many mons rely on their abilities to be destructive, namely Talonflame and Azumarill. Mummy, again, hasn't changed, but since...

I agree about Deoxys-S but I can't really make an argument other than how much paralysis cripples it, so things like Klefki and Togekiss are just doom for it. I'd also nominate Umbreon for B Rank because of what you said. Psychic isn't too prominent as an attack type, but he's immune to it and...

^I'm aware it doesn't OHKO Espeon. I tested it. It 2HKOS, but if you get it on the switch it'll be done since it can't OHKO you. The prediction of an Espeon switch is always so easy and if they lead with one just to prevent Sticky Web, it survives one hit to Volt Switch out. It's all good. He...

I haven't met one Breloom that has gotten through more than one of my mons this gen. If I'm not running Trvenenant, which completely counters it, I've still got easy ways to take it down. Uninvested Air Slash from Togekiss OHKOs it and it is very slow as it is, not to mention how slow it is...

Tell me what you think of this set. I think it's pretty viable in OU... Galvantula Leftovers Trait: Unnerve/Swarm Nature: Timid ::Sticky Web ::Thunder Wave ::Bug Buzz ::Volt Switch 248 HP/8 SpA/252 Spe A fast support set. His goal is to set up Sticky Web and spread TWave, and subsequently turn...

Ooh a butterfly hitting RU instead of NU would be awesome. I don't really play RU, but it's still awesome to see a butterfly rise through the ranks...
