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.
I saw that The Ender made a core with both mons in them, but it isn't the playstyle I would like it to be, nor the Talonflame set (though yeah I guess I can just change it).
However, I know you have a ton of cores to get to so ok.
pleb :
Actually defined as a member of a despised social class, a commoner, a member of the plebs of ancient Rome. Also low-born, undisinguished, vulgar, and my personal favourite: vulgar-looking.
My point in mentioning HP Ground was not in stating that it has no counters, but rather that if my opponent had Serperior out, I would have no guarantee that Heatran was a safe switch in.
I would also like to add that many Serperiors run Dragon Pulse, so assuming a +2 boost from Leaf Storm on...
Hello!
Would you gentlemen mind building around the core of Kyurem-Black + Talonflame?
I realize rob. just built around a Kyurem-B + Heatran, but I prefer this core and would like it to be more hyperoffense.
This core was suggested by Ox the Box on the "Good Cores" thread, so shout-out to...
I agree with Mysteria on Serperior's move from to B rank because, from experience, I have seen it be able to utilize its great speed and virtually free set-up to decimate teams. It can take a couple mons out, and sometimes even a whole team if played well, all by itself.
I would like to add on...
Ok, I feel bad about my mess-up of suggesting Cacturne, so here is should be able to not create more discord.

If Mega Metagross gets the banhammer, then I could see this happening (though I do not feel it is good enough because it isn't as hard to deal with as mons in A+ are with or without Megagross). However, seeing as Mega Metagross currently has such a strong presence in the meta, and there are a...
Yep, looking at the arguments I do have to agree that Sitrus Berry outperforms Power Herb, especially for this core. Change made. Thanks for contributions.
I am personally more of a fan of the power herb set, which I feel is more reliable.
However, Sitrus definitely has its merits, so boltsandbombers, what should I do about it? (Keep power herb as suggested set, or replace with sitrus berry set)
I second Albacore's suggestion of moving Kyurem-B from B+ to A-. Teams I have met in small OU tours and on the ladder have shown to be quite weak to Kyurem-B's wide coverage and rather large attacking stats. Paired with some quite decent bulk, this pokemon is a monster on the field.
One of its...
Here is a core I found quite a while ago, who's main downfall was my lack of experience with the first of the three mons. Introducing...
Hawlucha + Sand Core
This core is basically a double win-con fit for offense. Both pokemon involved, being Hawlucha and Excadrill, utilize high...
