If you have trouble with Subs, Infiltrator would be good. But since you have Boomburst on there, the only thing you would need to worry about is Ghost types since BB can hit through subs anyways. I would favor Hurricane over Flamethrower on that set. The increased BP and STAB is totally...

It depends on what you're using it for. If you're expecting it to be any sort of offensive threat, you're mistaken. With Prankster and a great movepool to make use of it, it can cripple teams with status or be fantastic support. I didn't like the concept at first, either, but it has grown on...

I think that Noivern could benefit a lot from a partner that can induce paralysis. It would offer some protection against retaliating hits in the case that Hurricane misses outside of rain, and Hurricane's high chance to confuse could add extra annoyance to the opponent. I've used this...

Ran into a guy running SolarBeam on Pyroar with no Sun support, and an Avalugg running Hail... WTF? I actually have the replay of this one. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oubeta-71168545

Asking this out of curiosity more than anything, because I've never seen it happen. What happens if a Pokemon with only status moves gets hit with Taunt, but can't switch out?

I've mostly been running Specs with Draco Meteor Hurricane Flamethrower Boomburst/U-Turn Noivern hits hard with Specs, but my team badly needs something like Taunt to prevent boosting and stalling, so I am thinking of ditching the Specs. I'm not sure what to replace them with though. Noivern...

I currently have a team of Noivern, Heracross, Clefable, Ferrothorn, Cloyster, and Tentacruel. It's a pretty solid team, and it has won me a lot of victories. However, there are still a couple things that I struggle with. One is fire types in general, although Sunny Day teams and flying...

One time I ran into a guy running a joke team of outclassed pokemon like Hypno and Eletrode, with Farfetchd as his main sweeper. After the match I told him that his team got a good laugh from me, and he stuck around to chat for a bit. He said that he had had people ragequit on him after...

Where can I find the process for submitting art to the CAP project? I'd like to participate in this part of the next CAP in particular, and am wondering if there is a certain process or requirements I need to be aware of when the time comes.

This thing is the bane of my team. Often I end up sacrificing Ferrothorn, switching in on Brave Bird and then eating Flare Blitz so that they'll bite it on Iron Barbs and the Rocky Helmet I have equipped, + recoil and potential Life Orb damage. Stealth Rock helps a bit, but they usually just...

Mega Kangaskhan can still make a name for itself in Ubers. It's a shame, I had a good check for Mega Kanga in Ferrothorn w/ Rocky Helmet. I can definitely see why the decision was made, though. I could put leftovers back on Ferrothorn now, but I might keep it as-is. I will still miss all the...

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Mega Heracross. Skill Link is a fantastic ability, and Heracross has great coverage while making use of it. Rock Blast, Pin Missile, and Bullet Seed become extremely deadly, one-shoting pretty much anything weak to them, and does serious damage to anything...
