Holy cow, did I really miss Intimidate on Mawile? I am so sorry, that really is an important thing. I'm also interested to know how the playstyle differs between your two Trick Room teams, and which one seems to work better for you? I'd love to compare RMTs with other people!

Hey, Qwertypops! I always love it when I see a person have success while using Trick Room (that being the only DOubles team type I play) and I especially like your team. However, there are just a few things I've noticed, and perhaps most importantly, what happens to you if Trick Room goes down...

I'd suggest that you put at least a few of Tangrowth's into Defense, it really does help it live longer. Also, tell me how well that Hariyama is working for you, I'd love to know!

I happen to like Trick Room, but you really should use it in Doubles. It's much more effective that way. Nonetheless, here I am! There are a few points that I'd love to go over with you: Bronzong is kinda terrible as an offensive Pokemon. I think you should replace Bronzong with an offensive...

I've been trying to play with your suggestions, but I've yet to win once after 5 battles. It may be because I'm bad, but I think it's because the team just sorta doesn't function the same way. By adding Heatran, I'm rectifying both of my team's 8x weaknesses and adding "another bruiser under...

My whole thing with Diancie is that nobody expects it to be a Trick Room setter, and with proper Fake Out support from Scrafty, she will never be double targeted, and is much more of an offensive presence than you'd think! Generally, if Talonflame comes out as a lead (for Quick Guard or an...

Somebody new!

Uh oh, looks like a bump.

My first suggestion is to write these at, like, not 1 AM. Seriously, that's not good for you. On to the real notes: Since it's already decently bulky and not too powerful when mixed, I recommend you give Eelektross a Life Orb. This will maximize its damage output on both sides of the attacking...

Since you don't appear to be too familiar with Smogon's posting format or Smogon in general, here are links to the RMT materials: How to make an RMT Forum Guidelines "Other Teams" Rules Threat Lists

As I really hope you've gathered, this team is a TRICK ROOM DOUBLES TEAM Through playing Doubles a bunch, I found that the only strategy I've been able to succeed with is Trick Room, but there are many flaws to my team. I'm looking mostly for some help with those flaws which I will bring up...

If Bolt Strike Victini is what's getting you down, look no further than Swampert! He's a great tank with access to even tankier moves, such as Curse and Barrier, or he can be a phazer with Roar! That gives you your Electric immunity and a much better typing.

That sounds like a solid plan, but I'd use Empoleon over Nidoqueen for better bulk overall and a better defensive typing. Your call, of course.

There are basically two types of Trick Room setters: Offensive and Defensive. Offensive These folks can get a Trick Room up, then continue on to severely dent a majority of the metagame. Defensive Basically, if the entire game focused on Trick Room, Cresselia would be Ubers. Recovery...

Well, if at all you do keep it, yes, run an Intimidate Lum Berry Scrafty. Also, Protect is way better than Detect due to more PP. Definitely switch that.
