Yeah, ice punch might be a little more optimal, but honestly though I don't see a purpose for it; neither of the targets you mentioned really takes a double iron bash. Zygarde and landorus are both ohko'd (lando-t needs rocks up for the ohko but still really doesn't like taking the hit) unless...

Oh, you're right. I always get the lake guardians mixed up.

Hey M4RK5M4N, thanks for your comment; I'm afraid I have to disagree with some of your recommendations, though. Memento is much better for this team than explosion, as giving marowak or glastrier a chance to set up safely is far more useful than the moderate damage explosion would do. This...

Introduction I've always loved trick room conceptually, but it was never a very strong archetype in the earlier gen 8 metas (also I was never a very strong pilot). This team is heavily based on the recommendations of another TR team which seems to have been deleted from the forum; if anyone can...

...you know that extreme speed is physical, right? Part of the reason I recommended some def ev's is to take genesect's espeed.

Hey CXW, this team certainly looks interesting. I'm not an expert teambuilder myself, but I do have some suggestions regarding your central pokemon Regieleki. A timid nature is overkill here, and your attack choice could use some refining. First, you absolutely want rising voltage on this...

Hey theotherguy, thanks for the advice! I'm a little confused by your comment about magearna, as one of the things I've been loving about it is that it destroys heatran; focus blast on the switch brings even 176+ spdef heatran to less than 20%, easilly in range to be ko'd on the next switch by...

Hey Chemical, thanks for the feedback! I've actually had very little trouble with dragapult, as the entire team puts out enough offensive pressure it can't afford to dance or sub, and it's unboosted attacks are not strong enough to OHKO much of my team. I do like the idea of adding seismitoad...

edit: aaand I still can't figure out how to make titles bold. This is my first serious attempt at a nat dex team, built around using using defensive pivots slowbro and tapu fini to get my powerful choice item attackers the chance to fire off their moves. The team has no boosters and two of...

I will most likely not reach voting status in this test, but would like to share my thoughts. I think magearna's offensive power, while impressive, is not banworthy. 130 special attack is impressive but does not put magearna above the other top breakers in the tier. While fleur cannon...

I haven't seen any stall teams here since the DLC, and I've been having good success with this one, so I thought I'd share. This team is adapted from Cheesey 's transform mew stall team (although it no longer has mew or reuniclus, the most unusual mon's on that team). Toxapex @ Black Sludge...
