So, I've been thinking about this for a while, and my brain is starting to hurt from the stress, so I present the problem to you. Here's the deal... Giratina-O is a great all-rounder pokemon, between stats, move pool, and even typing. And of course, it's gotten more popular as of late as a...

I think you completely missed the point of the Mismagius lead. Trick Room is run alongside Imprison, so I can lock out Trick Room teams, not so I can use it myself. I don't think Giratina would work as a substitute to Lugia, since it retains the same weakness to Shadow Force, and also has a 2x...

48 hour bump

Ok, so the name might not be the best, but I couldn't come up with anything particularly witty. I just thought "imprison + explosion = jail break?" so don't give me too much crap over it :P Anywho, this team is, as the title states, for the VGC. Thus, 4-man team, level 50, yadda yadda. So...

I'm considering dropping Tangrowth for Dialga, because I'll still carry a water/lightning resistance, and I'll remain ice neutral, which means a fitting counter to Kyogre.

lol that's interesting, because i recently came up with this combo myself without knowing about its popularity... sans the scarf.

Still looking for more lead info. /bump

You should consider doing some VGC research before you outright doubt the power of a consistent winning team. In the tournament board, I have a thread called "Breaking Down the VGC Metagame MK. II" that gives some info on common lead pairs. "Breaking Down the VGC Metagame" is a thread I...

So, after doing a bit of research, I'm trying to piece together a decent team for VGC. So, after doing a bit of testing, this is the team I'm working with right now, and the comments I have about it: Cresselia @ Light Clay Levitate Relaxed 252 HP/128 Def/128 Sp.Def -Trick Room -Light Screen...

Still looking for more input, so here's a bump.

lol not an issue. just make sure you correct me if I misunderstand your description and write something different than you intended. Or I missed something important.

Much appreciated. For the record, I hope nobody is offended, but I'm taking liberty in doing a bit of rewording with some of these descriptions, to try to keep them concise and easy to understand even for newbies.

Darkwatch, do you think you could elaborate a little bit more on the nape/palkia setup? I'd like info on how you would most likely see the lead start off in the first 1-2 rounds, and what the opponent should especially look out for when facing them.

Actually, I originally made this thread for my own personal research, because I planned on making a VGC team based on the info I found for the top VGC teams. Afterall, I'm horrible when it comes to seeing the potential for combinations and off-the-beaten-path strategies. However, I'm fantastic...

Some have you have really given me a lot of info in my other "Breaking down the VGC Metagame" thread, and it's helping me immensely. But now I would like to focus on another part of the metagame. I would like to take a look at leads. I think most people would agree that the leads on any team...
