The drawback for using moves like Sword Dance and Dragon Dance is that it takes another precious turn to set up. And I find that it can be a bitch trying to setup on rain dance teams but more particular on Qwilfish. Some other options for getting around (or straight through whatever you...

About the Tentacruel, I think I forget giving Tentacruel a nature at all and Lonely is the default nature. I have to change that very fast. Oh lol, I didn't know calm would lower my attack but I guess it is obvious lol. I should do some more research on natures next time I make a team. Thanks...

I don't know the exact scores but I do know that I win alot more than I lose with this team. And I can say that my score was rapidly increasing when I started playing with this team. The last team I posted was a resistances based offensive team. This time I will post a stall team. Important...

Thanks for the great reply Goldfan. I can always try Energy Ball over Trick. At the moment I haven't used Trick very often. The Blizzard move is also good to try once. Ice Fang is mainly there for a better STAB against slower bulkier dragons. Blizzard can also help to let the momentum stay...

The idea behind this team was that it was offensive and could cover each other. It was also my offensive practise team that Twist of Fate made together with me. And a great team it is. After the Stealth Rocks are down, the barrage of sweepers is hard to resist. Especially if there is always a...

I will spare you for a full rate as I will probably make things worser than it was beforehand. But I have a comment about Hariyama. I used the same moveset with a different spread. I know about its power and if the opponent doesn't watch out the will find half their team under half of their...

Assigned to Twist of Fate Geez, that damn time-zone Shoddy Battle nick: Crinold Age: 18 Time zone: GMT +1 Amsterdam, Brussel Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): evening mostly and the whole sunday Do you want to play in the tournament: yes or no? no I'm to late already Experience...

Don't think my advice can be of any help here but I can say that the Lapras is very effective at killing walls. Really, I have used that Lapras in a few matches and the average of KO'd enemie pokes with lapras is two. I can give you my EV spread if that's helping: Lapras @ Grip Claw Carefull...

Sir Arthur is right, I have used the same Lucario a while back as well on my team. It was really awesome if the opponent doesn't have any priority moves, however, almost every team now has at least one poke that can use a priority move. And because there are so many of them, good luck on...

Duh, I am probably to late again, but I can always try: Shoddy Battle nick: Crinold Age: 18 Time zone: GMT +1 Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): depends on what day it is really. I have at least the whole Sunday and Friday Do you want to play in the tournament: yes or no? No, just...

About the Salamence question, there is an easy way to calculate that what you asked. Salamence: 290 SpAtk, 405 Atk: Draco Meteor: 140 Base Power × STAB= 210 Power Damage = 210×290=60900 Outrage: 120 Base power × STAB= 180 Power Damage = 180×405=72900 So, if a poke has equal defense and...

Like almost all sandstorm teams, you're team is weak to Mixnape. It can just OHKO almost your whole team while bullet punch won't KO back. Starmie or Tentacruel are decent counters to Mixnape as thjey both resist his attacks and can OHKO him back.

If there is still a spot. Shoddy Battle nick: Crinold Age: 18 Time zone: GMT+1 (Amsterdam) Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): Every now and then, normally in the evening between 7 and 8. Of course on saturdays and sundays it is easier. Do you want to play in the tournament: yes or no? If...

Choice Specs on Alakazam has two reason. One: it adds 50% to his power. Second: it can trick its item to, for example, Blissey. Besides, there really isn´t any option left for Alakazam expect for Life Orb or something.

Well, nothing really, Breloom is very powerfull, very annoying but very frail. You can't avoid the spore so let him sleep one of yours. Breloom dies of almost any super effective attack so let him take that.
