Thank you, the wording on the ability is a little vague and I'm not able to test things at the moment. What would this threaten exactly? Without skill link, you're not really likely to kill anything off the bat, and with Mamo's speed, he doesn't really want to give up Shard.

A lot of it is experimentation to see what works. If you're a newcomer, it's best to just slap together a team, play a few games, and figure out what isn't working. With regards to your first question, that sounds a lot like a stall team, winning through residual damage with entry hazards...

I run the same thing, and I agree, it's doing quite well for what I expect it to do. I've never used a Mold Breaker poke before, and having Earthquake + Mold Breaker is amazing. (Though I guess that isn't Haxorus specific...)

Thunder Wave, Swagger, Foul Play? Gimmicky as heck, but Kecleon could possibly run it with recover in the last spot with a defensive spread.

Earthquake is generally a better option, to hit the steels that are immune to toxic. You're generally going to be spamming Toxic a lot more than your attack move anyway.

In my experience, Stockpile and Encore are pretty redundant as you're going to use them on the same type of moves.

This is actually a really nice idea, but aside from being a pita to kill, what will you be doing? Seems like you need toxic spikes to accomplish anything, and steels will sort of... sit there. It sounds amazing though, I'm going to play around with it.

Does this item count as stage of boost (as in it just assumes the Poke just used Cosmic Power as it switches in), or does it stack on top of any stat modifiers, like Sandstorm's SpD boost to Rock pokes?

Ah, I see. Thank you.

Pardon if I ask a follow up to this, but from what I can understand, the pokemon are transferrable, however, you can't battle on Wifi with them if they have non-GenV available moves? Again, I'm probably missing something here.

I'm probably missing something, but if Smogon metagames are supposed to be reflective of play on Wifi, and it's confirmed (I think?) that pokemon that learn specific moves via TM/move tutor in previous gens, but do not in GenV (I.E. Stealth Rock) are not allowed to be used in B/W matches, how...

Loved the story; very easy to follow along with your thought process compared to a lot of warstories on here. Your English is excellent.

How does one counter lvl 2 Aron/Probopass Sturdy users? (That is, getting in with with Sandstorm and Endeavoring anything that comes in and netting kills with residual damage and/or toxic spikes) Only things I can really think of is making sure that you have entry hazards down at all times and...

Miltank doesn't have access to Stealth Rock anymore, which is unfortunate for its utility. Love Miltank, it's been one of my stalwarts on my team. I've been running with 252 HP/252 Atk/4 SpD, Adamant, Scrappy, w/Leftovers, Return/Hammer Arm/Curse/Milk Drink, and it's been doing great. People...

Opponent didn't really have the great team, but still, going up against Nite, Ulgamoth, etc with your lineup of pokes takes some balls. Lovely warstory, and you have my thanks for pulling this off in such grand fashion that I'm tossing out the traditional OU team I've been working on and going...
