alakazam usage is really picking up. its everywhere and for a good reason. it's one of the best revenge killers and sweepers in the tier.

Introduction Today's specials: Entry hazards, entry hazards, and even more entry hazards. More than anything else, the UU metagame is dominated by spikes and rocks. Seeing spinners on almost every team? You better have one too if you hope to compete on even footing. Not only is it...

Lilligant is fantastic late game sweeper on non-weather teams. It really doesn't need sun support with access to Quiver Dance. Confusion-free Petal Dances will wreck a lot of things in the UU scene.

I've been using lilligant to much success, but I am having trouble deciding which hidden power to choose. Grass is resisted by bug, dragon, fire, flying, grass, steel, poison (quite a lot haha). The four feasible Hidden Powers each have 3 supereffective type coverages against grass resists...

People need to use lilligant more. Can't believe its below things like charizard...

Is there a gen v teambuilding weakness chart like the one on marriland that I don't have to download? http://pokemon.marriland.com/team_builder

Just some quick thoughts. I feel like registeel's spot is kind of wasted especially with a great special tank in snorlax. Many of your pokemon already resist grass, toxic can be taken easily by roserade and snorlax can always rest it off, and outrages aren't common at all in UU. stealth rock...

They did. In fact I think we get the results tomorrow.

Why are the items 'ring target' and 'absorb bulb' unavailable in the PO smogon server?

I feel like any physical Sceptile set should incorporate SD. It's just too weak otherwise and if you incorporate fling it sacrifices coverage.

I've been using a scarfed trick deoxys-d and no one ever expects it. It's been superb especially against trick leads or to just set up spikes by taking advantage of its bulkiness. I will also almost always set up at least 1 layer of spikes as long as the lead taunter isn't crobat or aerodactyl.

It's getting a little wearisome to see donphan or hitmontop on almost every single team. At the same time, I find myself forced to run a rapid spinner and those are undoubtedly the best.

So you say the biggest threats in drizzle are water, electric, and flying type moves. Most pokemon will not be carrying all of these moves. Likewise why are you trying to pigeon hole anti-weather counters to a single pokemon like Lanturn? We have 6 slots. Use them. And you know whats great...
