This team looks pretty good the main thing I would advise is to Switch Earthquake out for Dragon Claw on Mega Altaria since its a physical STAB that will give you more coverage as it hits a lot more for neutral coverage, and Quagsire already can take care of heatran with his STAB Earthquake. I...

I've been messing around with a balanced SDF core Involving Tyrantrum that I've found pretty fun. Tyrantrum@ Life Orb/ Choice Band EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP Ability: Rock Head Jolly Nature - Head Smash - Dragon Claw - Superpower - Dragon Dance/ Stealth Rocks T-Trum is fits this core...

Ok, I think I will definitely change Sylveon's moves, and I thought about doing a bulky Talonflame, so I'm glad Iwasn't crazy for wanting more defense. I'll plug it in on Showdown and see what happens! Zard Y seemed to be a bit of a problem with me running T-Trum without SR maybe it'll work...

Tyrantrum@ Life Orb EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP Ability: Rock Head Jolly Nature - Head Smash - Dragon Claw - Superpower - Dragon Dance/ Stealth Rocks To start off, I chose T-Trum; because now with Rock Head he is viable in OU and seems to only need a team to help give him some momentum, help...

That advice is really helpful as it balances the teams spa and atk. Also since this is a rain team should I do thunder over thundershock?

I would like swift Swim Kingdra over Sniper, but the damage seems worth the loss of speed, but I don't think Azumarill is the poke to replace. Azumarill seems to be my only Physical Sweeper and putting Kingdra on the team I'd have Venusaur, Volcarona, and Rotom-Wash as well as Kingdra as SpA. I...

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the Pokemon meta-game and so I'm sorry if I'm unable to explain why my team works properly, but hopefully I can make some of you chuckle with my incompetency of team building. Anyway here is the team: Rotom-Wash @ Choice Scarf Ability: Levitate EVs: 52 HP / 252 SpA /...

Hey I'm pretty new to this, but I came up with a sandstorm strategy for Greninja. The idea is he changes types to rock and gains the extra SP Def which he is severely lacking. My question is how viable is this will it make a difference, and is this difference enough to ditch the focus sash or...

Ok thanks, I'll make something out of that and get back to you!

Hey I'm new to Smogon and the metagame (my cousin got me into the meta finally), and I'm trying to make a good core. I feel I'm trying to hard so I got on here and figured I could ask for some help. I'm wanting to make a weather team based Mega Scizor, and I'm wanting to do weather so either...
