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.
No, sp.def skarm dies if it switches into Stealth Rock/Seed Flare(sp.def drop) and gets flinched once. Bronzong is way better at countering skymin and I saw someone use Dragonite too which is fabulous vs Skymin.
Been working on a new plat BT team and I could use some suggestions:
Timid Latias@choice scarf
252 hp/6 def/252 spe
Trick
Charm
Safeguard
Recover* Consider replacing with Draco Meteor
Standard tricker..kinda. Reason I chose Latias over Metagross or Cresselia is because it can still outspeed...
Having beaten VP with ending A, I'll give my input.
Its a very fun game to play if you want to think strategy since the game encourages plume uses which drops you to ending B or C. It can be a bit tedious especially in rescue missions because of dumb AI or maybe just to encourage plume usage...
I won't bother since since Skarmory is supposed to switch INTO gyarados and not the other way around. Probably a good idea to swap earthquake for stone edge on your own Gyarados to counter other Gyaradoses that switch into your skarmory.
Use...
Just checked, +1 Positive Outrage with Lifeorb from Salamence will OHKO your dusknoir. You should probably adjust the EVs a bit so it would actually survive. Skarmory can beat Tauntdos 1 vs 1 if you have Brave Bird so you should definitely replace Regi with Skarmory.
DDMence with Fire Blast or Stone Edge will give your team trouble especially if Dusknoir's wow misses. I wouldn't worry too much about bronzong since you can just burn him with dusknoir and ignore.
As MS suggested, Skarmory would be a great addition since you are safe from DD T-tar as well...
Gliscor because he had no ice fang and resorted to Aerial Ace. Togekiss because he is expecting T-Tar to come in after Togekiss KOed someone and his moveset is Air Slash/Roost/T-Wave/Nasty Plot which T-Tar resists, but T-Tar ended up being Jolly 252 speed which was faster than minimal speed...
This war story was just lovely. Professional quality writing and great thought process. You make the Uber Metagame look overwhelmingly complexed compared to OU and it really lures people into playing Ubers. Great job as always Trainman. ;)
How did P-Z make it back on the list? When it moved down to BL, everyone belittled it saying how Azelf outclasses it and now its back with no apparent reason and no improvement? Anyone care to shed some light on this? or perhaps a moveset/ev usage list for P-Z.
Edit: found it...
