    Pokémon you underachieve with

    I personally think you have to take very special care with what sets and EV spreads you use with each member on your team to make sure you don't have members competing to fill the same roll. You also want to consider who is already on your team and what they're lacking, then consider if the mon...

    My OU Tricks of the Trade Team

    Overall the team isn't bad but as you noted, Sun teams will cause you problems. In particular Volcarona can pretty much wreck your team after 1 QD. Your only check to it is milotic, and unfortunately milotic still takes neutral from bug buzz. Your only chance to beat it would be to use Dragon...

    5th gen OU RMT

    I would actually echo By Myself's suggestion to run scarf on Terra. The ability to switch attacks is pretty important, but right now Dnite wrecks your whole team once Skarm goes down. The main issue is that you can hope to hit it with a burn using scald on vaporeon, but if it's offensive...

    Sableye

    woops, my bad, completely forgot about Claydol. Although yeah, the point still stands that it isn't going to spin vs Sableye anyway without some decent SpA investment. I'm really hoping to see Sableye start gaining more popularity.

    Sableye

    Right, because an opponent will just keep trying to stall by switching while racking up residual damage from hazards. That's the gameplan, and if they try it then I win, hands down. Because barring starmie none of the spinners can force Sableye out whereas sableye forces out all spinners (again...

    Sableye

    Saying Sableye sucks is pretty narrow-minded. I had a rather glaring weakness to physical landorous/CB Terra/Luke, added Sableye to my team and patched it up very nicely. Also, barring the one or two Guts mons that you see around and fire types you can literally solo teams that rely on...

    General Metagame Discussion

    run starmie with HP Fire ;D But in all seriousness, the lack of good spinners is unsettling, even more so because I really dislike rocks to begin with (the prevalence of SR alone makes several mons unplayable, and a lot more severely neutered). I run LO Starmie with Hydro Pump | T-Bolt |...

    Bringing Sexy (Draggy) Back OU RMT

    woops, you are indeed correct that it should be 252 SpA. *fixed* I have had troubles with ferro sort of. It's kind of a nuisance, but it can be played around, that said I could definitely use he help in beating ferro, I'll try out the heatran, although I'm a little bit reluctant to run him...

    Bringing Sexy (Draggy) Back OU RMT

    Short History Hello to all who take the time to read my RMT and I hope you will also take the time to right a response below. This is the first RMT that I've done here although I've been lurking on Smogon for a little over a year. I've played or at least been interested in competitive battling...

    RMT: 1st One

    I'm not an expert by any means, but just a few things I've noticed about your team: SR and spikes is going to rip your team apart very quickly. one layer of spikes and SR is going to cost everyone but registeel at least 24% health on each switch, and with 2 choiced items, you'll be doing a lot...

    A Slightly Gimmicky Hyperoffensive Team

    I would also like to point out that many zapdos are packing hp ice (offensive versions) or they're packing toxic + sub + roost which means that both dragonite and gliscor are going to get stalled out by zapdos or OHKO'd by offensive versions since Zap outspeeds both of them (before a speed...

    Torrential Sweep (OU RMT; shoddy/wi-fi)

    Thanks for the suggestion on that gyara set, I'll have to test it out. I've been debating on using either gyara or dragonite in that last slot, but leaving my team with 2 SR weaknesses and no spinner wasn't very enticing, especially when coupled with a large draw on electric attacks without...

    An OU Trick Room Team

    I'm fairly new to posting on the boards, but I just wanted to point out that your team is massively weak to CB scizor as it can hit 3/6 for SE U-turn, and will hit all others extremely hard. In turn you have no one on your team that can threaten to OHKO scizor in return. This is bad because for...

    Torrential Sweep (OU RMT; shoddy/wi-fi)

    Alright, I'd like to start off by saying that this is my first RMT although I've been lurking here for a long time. Also, I do apologize in advance for the lack of images, but seeing as I'm at work atm, I can't get to 'em easily, and I'll add them later tonight when I get home. So now, on to the...
