Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Dual Belly Drum
BD Chesnaught + BD Azumarill + ScarfTar
The idea of this core is to win through team match-up setup with either Chesnaught or Azumarill to force their checks to come in, pursuit trap if necessary, then sweep with the other Belly Drum user. There are a bunch of Azumarill...
I feel that Shadow Tag + Strong Weather would be pretty strong in this format since the only way for the opponent to reactivate their own weather would be Skill Swap/Role Play. Combined with Taunt and U- turn/Volt Switch, I don't think it should be to difficult to trap your opponent in...
Probably just wild speculation but maybe you have to do something like fight them with a male and female pokemon or something like that. Other than that I have no clue other than just pure chance.
That's strange... Are you at the point when trainers start giving you items after rematching them? Otherwise it must just be random whether or not they give it to you.
I've actually gotten the Destiny Knot by rematching the young couple in Sea Mauville. Not sure if it's post-E4 or Delta Episode though.
On another note I actually found out that the gen 5 starters are actually not after the E4 rematch, if you just enter and leave your house again you'll find...
I would like to suggest a core of Specs Gengar and Lando-I. Specs is honestly not very good on Gengar because of how common pursuit is so feel free to change it to LO. But through some theorymoning and a bit of use I've found SpecsGar's small advantages to work nicely with Lando-I, breaking down...
I'm back and I've decided to skip out on the next set in my list since I've already mentioned it and people have posted similar sets already. I'll still give the calcs in case anyone is interested in using LO Tyranitar.
252 SpA Life Orb Tyranitar Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Hippowdon...
Not exactly, Crumbler doesn't run Max Attack and sometimes had Spooky Plate/Spell Tag over Life Orb.
Yeah probably not, it doesn't have enough speed to outrun Greninja and doesn't like to go first against many things because of the way Stance Change works.
Yeah, Flamethrower isn't that great. I was mainly thinking about keeping Excadrill from switching in for free and Mega Mawile from setting up a free sub, but you never reveal that you don't have Flamethrower until you Healing Wish anyway. I still think it's okay as long as your team has a...
Okay, I have basically gathered all of the gimmicks that I have used, don't completely suck, and I haven't seen anyone else post. Not all of them are that good, but they are at least decent enough to be at least considered as options.
The list got too long as a single post, so I'll probably be...

An encounter I had with Showderp a while ago. Not the silliest stuff on this thread, but the chat is just crazy in this one. I was reluctant to post it because my nicknames are pretty embarrassing... I don't know why I thought it was a good idea at...
