The only thing I question is Focus Blast for Weavile. How are you going to hit Weavile when it will undoubtably go first with Night Slash and OHKO you? Maybe you were just listing common Darks? I think others, like mine, also run Focus Sash on lead Weavile. Consider Psychic on Slowbro to...

Name: Weavile (Knuckles) Ability: Pressure Nature: Jolly (-SAtk, +Spd) EVs: 20 Hp/ 236 Atk/ 252 Spd Item: Focus Sash - Sword Dance - Brick Break - Night Slash - Ice Shard I like Weavile's moveset a lot. Those who fear Weavile pay for it with Sword Dance, it boosts Weavile's attack to pretty high...

I've been leading with Weavile for the past week and it's a little better than Empoleon, so I'm definately going to take your advice. Thanks.

The idea of Stealth Rocks and Choice Specs. either works perfectly, or puts me at an immediate disadvantage. As a result, I've removed Choice Specs, replacing them with Wise Glasses. It might just be me, and I think it is, but the Lucario's that I've been coming into contact with are SD'ing...

Twenty-four hour bump.

Kingdra @ Scope Lense Trait: Sniper Nature: Modest (-Atk, +SAtk) EVs: 112 HP/ 146 SAtk/ 252 Spd Draco Meteor Focus Energy Surf Ice Beam Focus energy and sweep with Draco Meteor. Yes, the attack does diminish IF it is not a critical. Crits ignore the diminishing effects of Drac. and Sniper...

I really like the Staraptor, it's unique and yet still seems quite effective, atleast on paper. Slowbro has a pretty good moveset, though I would drop Psychic for Toxic. If you're willing to stall an opponent, it can physically drain them and give you the needed edge to win -- every aspect of...

Hopefully I'll outspeed it and kill it earlier on, but I see what you mean. If I encounter any problems in the future, I'll be sure to add a counter measure. Sure I'll rate/fix your team, too.

Advice taken.

Who would I Boton Pass the Sub to, to make it most effective? I'm starting to think about giving Drifblim Calm Mind and passing that to Empoleon, but I'm still not sure.

So you don't run the risk of draining all your Hp with Substitute and Life Orb, I'd say drop it for Petaya Berry to make up for the EVs it lost to it's Attack Stat. It'll work well with Substitute because you can forcably activate it, if needed.

I think it's a little unexpected of Drifblim to be designed as a sweeper. I'm a numbers guy, and when I look at it's moveset I'm seeing two KOs for the price of one. I can have Drifblim try to sweep from behind a Sub, then explode when it becomes useless or clear it's not going to be of much use.

I think you could spar Gengar the use of Explosion and Focus Blast, and instead give it Substitute and Focus Punch. That combination works really well on Blissey if you're trying to counter it.

It's my first day on the forums, so if I messed something up I'd like to appologize ahead of time. I'm a bit new to the competitive enviornment too, so if you decide to help me please don't roast me over being wrong. Name: Weavile (Knuckles) Ability: Pressure Nature: Jolly (-SAtk, +Spd) EVs...
