If it is banned on PO's server, a lot of people don't pay attention to it (you also get the occasional speed boost Blaziken). Empoleon is a perfect counter because of his resistance to all of Kingdra's attacks, while Bronzong still takes neutral damage from Hydro Pump. I do like the idea of...

I'm kind of looking to avoid weather in general, although using Politoed to cancel out sun/sand seems like a solid option for him. I'll test that out, thanks. As for Ice Fang > Stone Edge, I like that change. I agree that Ice Fang covers more than Stone Edge does while covering a lot of the...

Flash Fire will preserve the balloon. I definitely agree on the Heatran suggestion as well

But with a physical set, Virizion doesn't have any way to recover hp besides leftovers, which I would be kinda worried about.

Team Synergy - A Balanced, Non-Weather OU Team Hello all, welcome to my second RMT here on Smogon. My first attempt at a Gyaravire team went drastically wrong (damn you team preview!), so now I'm back with a team I've come to love and has done decently well for me on PO. So, here's the process...

Porygon-z doesn't have nearly enough speed to function as a revenge killer without a scarf. If you want it to function that way, a scarf is necessary. Your moveset would most likely stay the same.

So, after some games on PO, I have some testing results (using Virizion and Latios): Virizion is a decent Gyarados partner, but more often than not it draws in ice-attacks, and Gyarados has trouble surviving boosted ice attacks. So, I'm thinking bulky Gyarados might be a tad better...

Solid team here, just a few minor suggestions: I'm with OmgWtfBoom on the Magnezone set: the steels you listed specifically don't generally use Ground type attacks to begin with, and Sub lets Magnezone attempt a sweep instead of having a very specific role of only trapping steels. On Gengar, a...

Wow, loads of replies! Thanks for all the rates guys, I'll try to give solid answers to each of you: @GtM: That was a big concern for me about choosing Electivire, whether it would be too obbvious of a strategy. I like the Virizion suggestion a lot: especially since it gives a sweeping partner...

Hello Smogon community, this is my first ever post on these forums. After a relatively long hiatus from the game, I finally caved and bought Black. It definitely brought back some memories of competitive battling, so I wanted to get back into that with some friends (the last time we played was...
