    VGC The Mystical Powders (Mega Venusaur RMT) (More like a Teambuilding Report but w/e)

    Wow-not even Gardevoir makes the threatlist with this thing. An odd exception given to some creative Rain and Trickroom parties, and maybe Mega Blaziken and his shenanigans, and you've managed to cover every major threat and their kitchen's sinks; not to mention it's an incredibly elegant setup...

    VGC Team Thunderstorm (Road to VGC)

    Well in that case I think you made the right choice by choosing Aegislash. He fills in the gaps rather nicely, and under Rain can take full advantage of that Weakness Policy. And all it takes is a well-timed King's Shield to blunt Talonflame's beak, forcing a switch so you can reset your Rain...

    VGC Team Thunderstorm (Road to VGC)

    Truly a nifty team you've whipped up here. But while both bold and unorthodox, almost brilliantly so, I'm curious if you factored in the downsides to putting Fire under Rain. Flamethrower will be halved, and Flare Blitz also, all while effectively doubling Blaziken's weakness to Water. This all...

    VGC The Mystical Powders (Mega Venusaur RMT) (More like a Teambuilding Report but w/e)

    Hey! This is just a quick little diddy, or question rather, but how does this little marvel handle Lum Terrakion? This is after just a quick once-over, but it looks like it could prove a bit troublesome when paired with a threat against Venusaur. I don't know though, I'm probably wrong, but on...

    VGC Help with my VGC team

    Here is the link to the animated Mega Salamence sprite if you needed it (I noticed it was the only one without one on your post): http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/rubi-omega-zafiro-alfa/sprites/animados/salamence-mega.gif First I just wanted to say what a nifty team you have here. I have just...

    VGC Crippling the Cheshire Unicorn - A Team of Explosive Consequence

    Wow, thanks for all the input. There's really no argument against replacing Krookodile except to say he's really the only Pokemon you can name Nixon and get away with it, and his departure will be deeply felt by republicans everywhere. Nifty Heatran spread. The only reason I gave him the balloon...

    General What brought you to Smogon?

    That would be the name. It's a good name. That, and I'm the only Pokemon nerd I know so I figured it was about time I fixed that.

    General Introduce yourself!

    Huh, well I'm about as casual about competition as you can get. I've been around for a while (gen I), competitively since gen III. I know my way around the Pokemon Universe—it's region's inhabitants and what defines them—but I' the only Pokemon nerd I know, and that only gets you so far. So here...

    VGC Crippling the Cheshire Unicorn - A Team of Explosive Consequence

    A Team of Explosive Consequence It's tough work justifying Mega Glalie. But be it a butcher, a baker, or a candlestick maker (or whatever else fits in the tub), Mega Glalie will explode, one way or another. And the rest of the team is there to make it happen, trying for the most immediate and...
