    Torkoal is primarily used as a sun setter so it can do its job even while asleep. Rest is to give it longevity so sun can be set up throughout the game.

    Thank you, I assume the special set is used to just hit harder in general? Trying to weigh my options between the two.

    While looking into Dragapult sets I noticed the Smogon strategy dex held mixed dragapult in high regard. Though looking at most sample teams I see they have moved to having an entirely special based hex set. What are the advantages to going mixed?

    Looking at Sand Rush Excadrill and I notice that most people use max speed. I thought that seemed like overkill and looked at the relevant speed tiers for +2 Exca. While I definitely thought it was needed to outspeed +1 Dragapult, the other two it needs to watch out for are +2 Volc and +2...

    I've been looking into Rhyperior sets and I see that they normally run 16 atk and 24 spe. What benchmarks do these EVs hit?

    Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    I've been wondering where the best place to figure out what's going on in the metagame. For example I was reading in the viability thread about SD Gliscor. However no one posted a set, but people already seemed to understand exactly what they were talking about. How does a user find this...

    Nickname discussion

    Ooh, just found this thread. I actually only started naming pokemon after I got into competitive. I pull out a lot of random references, but really try to put time into them. References: Garchomp: Nex Runescape boss who looked startlingly liked Garchomp on release, also means violent death in...

    Project Team Building Shop Redux [CLOSED FOR REQUESTS, BUILDING]

    I've really wanted to make a Mega-Sceptile team for awhile, and so I decided to take one of the cool FWG cores that had been made with it. Sceptile is the star of the show taking on many threats with it's blazing 145 speed and pretty good special attack, Azumarill and talonflame help get rid of...

    XY OU VoltTurn MagDrag Team w/ THE BEST CORE!!!

    Hi Posh_Rev i have some suggestions for your team. First though you need to buff out those descriptions otherwise the RMT will be locked, just try to flush out why you picked them and how they greatly synergize. Actual Changes: 1. Change Gliscor to 244 HP EV's This gets Gliscor to a poison...

    XY OU Bat Machine Core: An OU Balance Team

    Ok D3CON I'll take your suggestions one by one 1. Make Gliscor Def and Rotom-W Spdef I agree with this one, I think this is something I want to experiment with and it gives me a decent check to a lot of physical mons that are giving me trouble. 2. Change Azumarill/Rotom-W with Ttar This one I...

    XY OU Bat Machine Core: An OU Balance Team

    Hey guys and welcome to my second RMT of 6th gen. After taking a break for a while I decided it was time to get back on the ladder. I realized that my teambuilding was crap, but then I ran into an extremely nice player named Nabilla The Angel who helped me shape the team. Team Building: I...

    Emergence: A Mega-Heracross Team!

    Hey guys I'm here with my second 6th gen RMT. I've been having a lot of success on the showdown ladder and wanted you guys's opinion on this team. This started as a team based around one of my favorite Gen V sets, Yachechomp. However I eventually decided that using it was too hard and decided...
