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.
kimama ni sekai wo drive tonight~
anyone notice in the Korean version, Taeng sings "Seoul, Tokyo, London, New York"? o_o
Haha, the teaser was pretty catchy, but OH GOD THE ENGRISH.

What tier do you want to learn?: Ubers
Tell us a little about yourself: I've been competitively battling for over two years now, and I'm relatively experienced in the OU and UU tiers, but I'm...
@ Setsuna.: Thanks for the rate.
True, CM Roar Latias does remove and check Suicune, as well as the majority of other Calm Minders, but I feel that it really lacks the power that the Life Orb set would bring me. I couldn't really hit very hard on the special side of the spectrum in the first...
Thanks for the rate franky. I'm definitely going to change Scizor to make it more specially defensive, as it has been suggested by countless people and I've felt the need to change it myself as well. As for using Specs Latias, I can see it definitely helping against Suicune and Swampert, but...
-bump-
Added threat list.
Also, I've decided to make Scizor more specially defensive so that it can better absorb Starmie's attacks. I was thinking the spread 244 HP / 80 Atk / 176 SDef / 8 Spd or something like that, but I'm not sure I'l be able to guarantee a OHKO on Gengar with Bullet...
Thanks for the rate and the kind words ^^
I have considered using Stone Edge on TTar, but the 80% accuracy seriously makes me question its usefulness. It also makes me get walled to hell by Steel-types, sadly. I can see what you're saying about hitting Zapdos with Stone Edge, but chances are...
IIRC, Mystic Gengar is:
Gengar @ Life Orb
Timid / Levitate
4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
~ Shadow Ball
~ Focus Blast
~ Hidden Power (Fire)
~ Protect
It can't stop Scizor, per se, because it still cannot do anything to strike back if Scizor decides to use Bullet Punch. Sure, it'll be able to...
According to Psypokes (I don't use Metalkid anymore because after the update it's become all weird), Grass Knot does an average of 165 damage to +1 252/0 Bold Suicune, and Draco Meteor, 172. That's a grand total of 337 damage, and Suicune is taken down to 353 HP after switching into Stealth Rock...
Actually, one of the reasons why my own Lucario's nature is Jolly is to check the vast majority of its brethren that are almost always Adamant.
And I'm really reluctant to replace Vaporeon simply because I'd hate to lose the Wish support with which it provides my team. Rotom can act as a spin...
ScarfRachi can only manage around 30-40% with ThunderPunch on a Vaporeon that is as bulky as mine. Vaporeon's Surf can do considerable damage back to it. What's more is that Vaporeon has Wish and Protect to heal up whenever it feels the need. This isn't to say that Jirachi isn't a nuisance to...
Sadly, Tyranitar's role on the team is to trap. Scizor is unable to make Rotom-H and Zapdos run away because it fears Fire-type attacks. Also, Tyranitar is a Gliscor lure, and if I drop Ice Beam, it won't be able to do anything to the giant flying scorpion. And the entire point of Tyraniboah is...
Thanks for the rates, people.
@ huntofthelion
I had considered Choice Scarf Latias at one point, but I wanted to avoid Choice users as much as possible simply because they are easily walled and relatively predictable. The original idea behind the team was to use Pokémon that typically hold a...
Offensive Threat List:
Aerodactyl: Lead variants are U-turned on, then finished off with a Bullet Punch from Scizor. Sweeper variants answer to Scizor and Vaporeon.
Alakazam: Scizor can easily knock out the fragile sweeper, and Lucario can as well (even with an unboosted ES). Tyranitar can...
