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.
Hey guys, I've been looking at fun cores to build around and I finally settled on one that has three of my favorite pokemon to use (the ones in the title if that's unclear, lol.) I'm honestly not the greatest teambuilder but this one's done really well for me and I'd appreciate any input you...
Gotcha, I'll definitely go in and switch up the nature then.
Also, I just tried my first game with your tweaks added and Azu definitely did its job cleaning up with the +6 Aqua Jet so I'm already really liking it, thanks again!
Thanks so much for the help man, I'll definitely try out those changes you've suggested and see how it goes. The only thing I was wondering is would you go with an Adamant nature on Scizor or something else?
Hey guys and gals, I've been trying to get back into the ORAS OU tier after taking a long break from Pokemon and this is a team I put together after playing around for the last week or so. I'm still learning the optimal sets and I'm not gonna lie most of it is just copy/pasted from Smogon so if...
Hey guys, Lucario is one of my favorite pokemon and recently I've gone about trying to build a team centered around him that can still do ok in OU (the only tier I really play in.) I'm just starting to get back into playing after a long time off so my sets might not be exactly optimal and any...
Sure thing, it really just depends on where your team is weak as to if you wanna go Ice Fang, Crunch or Taunt and the last one worked best on my teams so I just figured I'd share it.
Really nice team, I've used M-Gyarados a little bit and I've found Taunt to be especially helpful instead of Crunch. On the predicted switch-ins to counter him with a burn (M-Sableye, etc) you drop a Taunt and then continue to wreck shop. Not sure if anyone's suggested it already but I just...
Since on my second team I have no Fire-type attacks, having that added insurance of Superpower on M-Scizor to deal with Ferrothorn and the like is really clutch.
I've actually been experimenting a bit with Superpower lately and am liking that a bit more because like you said, I currently don't have any fighting type moves. A fair amount of Steels switch in on M-Scizor so having Superpower on there to do some heavy damage is really nice.
Huh, I never...
Good to know, I'll switch up my EV's and slap Knock off on. I honestly haven't been using Bug Bite/U-Turn that much and I still get the x2 vs Psychic which is crucial along with the versatility of taking out their item from play.
Yeah, the main reason I had Shadow Ball on Raikou was for the Lati twins and with T-Tar I really have a much better option using Volt Switch and then Pursuit trapping afterwards so it kind of became redundant.
I'll have to mess around a little bit with the LO and Air Balloon sets but so far the...
I might end up just making two teams out of it at this point, lol. One with T-Tar and Excadrill and the other with Starmie and Heatran in their place because both sound pretty good actually.
Do you have sets you'd recommend for the two of them?
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely keep U-Turn on then since I think I'm going to do as you suggested and switch Lando-T for Heatran, just debating on which set I want to run...would you have any suggestions on which works better with the rest of the team? I'm leaning towards the...
