I am going to talk about your choice of trick roomers... Solrock Although Overheat gives some good type coverage it is a poor move choice because Solrock has v.poor special attack (especially since none of your EVs are in SpAtt and the nature also will not help). Zen Headbutt comes off...

If I put a hidden power on Snover that was super effective against houndoom then it would do 64.12% - 75.08% damage, do you think that this would be enough to either: 1. scare it away 2. reduce the amount of pokemon it would kill with its moves (due to life orb damage and hail) Alternatively, I...

Yes, and thank you for showing me shoddy - lead np houndoom sweeps this team completely. I am considering replacing solrock with lv.2 clefable - although the loss of trick room may be too much. Another option is to put hail on another member of the team and lose snover for lv.2 clefable I...

How I deal with lead Crobats I switch to Dusclops and either take 6% damage from u-turn or 20% from brave bird - I then take it from there. Lead Crobat's do not worry me or Snover. I am not aiming to OHKO Crobat with snover as this would not be realistic (apart from if I get a trick room up)...

Thanks for the comments - I have hardly ever used gyro ball on solrock, (and when I have it will usually be for some damage against mismagius) so I will be testing it with stealth rock. As you can see I am attempting sweeping their team under trick room (not stalling them out), although the...

UU RMT HAIL + TRICK ROOM I have only recently discovered the UU environment, and I decided that I wanted to make a UU equivalent to my hail and trick room team that is succeeding in the OU environment. It seems to be that in both OU and UU people are polarising towards a certain...

Rampardos is a fine choice on a trick room team but I too think there is a better option -Marowak With thick club attached, he reaches a base attack stat of 160 and he only has 45 base speed (along with better defences than Rampardos, and arguably a better physical movepool to work with). I...

I had to replace healing wish with encore on my team because sadly it is an illegal move at level 2. Shoddy gives you all the possible moves that a pokemon can learn but at this point does not tell you when a moveset is illegal (this would require extreme amounts of programming I expect to cover...

The order of the IVs is indeed: HP/Atk/Def/Spe/SpA/SpD I will make a note of this in the main post...

Honestly - yes :-) I realised the potential of using trick room and u-turn on a team that utilises a lv2 clefable and other pokemon that are let down by their low speed.

Revisions that I have made: - I replaced aqua tail with thunderpunch because tyranitar seems to be getting walled by Vaporeon thus wasting a trick room, does anyone has any suggestions for possible alternatives (perhaps brining back curse)? - I replaced Azelf with Uxie, who can run exactly the...

I want Azelf and Jirachi to be fast, so that they will always go second when using U-turn - therefore the pokemon that I switch to using u-turn will not get damaged (this is explained in the description of why I used them as trick room pokemon).

The idea of this team is to combine the use of trick room and the move ‘endeavor’, as well as using trick room to increase the usefulness of some slow yet powerful pokemon. This team also relies upon the combination of ‘trick room’ and the move ‘u turn’, to allow pokemon that receive the trick...

I did used to run a froslass with this set (incidentally instead of clefable) and the fighting immunity is sorely missed, but faced with infernape I have several strategies to deal with it: 1. Take a hit, and then stall with stallrein until infernape is dead 2. Switch to starmie (which is...

The reason why hail is on starmie is because abomasnow is quite frail and I found it was getting KO'd too much only for tyranitar to switch in. In addition many teams do not expect the blizzard from starmie and this can provide a useful OHKO. My team loves toxic spikes. Breloom gets poisoned...
