With Manaphy coming to OU, what effects do you think it will have on HO? Will it make a good sweeper? (Bulky Sub/CM and Offensive CM sound great) Or do you think it will be another wall to find a way to break?

Quick nitpick: If you're going to run TBolt on Jirachi, you'll going to want to change the nature to Naive (+Spe -SpD) or Hasty (+Spe -Def) instead of Jolly (+Spe -SpA) Not necessarily a rate but just something I noticed ^^

I feel that Heracross would be an excellent to replace Drapion with, as it isn't as vulnerable to the most common moves in the game, Earthquake, admittedly trading it to a vulnerability to Fire Blast, the 2nd most common, but what can ya do. Heracross works well into your idea of the Forgotten...

Garchomp - OU Latias - OU Manaphy - OU I believe that Manaphy should have an isolated test from Garchomp, as Garchomp created an environment of omnipresent Sand Storm created by its partner on almost every team, Tyranitar. This killed any chance of any successful use of its Hydration ability...

Confirming as The_I3east Very surprised to see myself on this list ^^

zorbees won our match. Great game, was fun ^^

Equinox is still M.I.A...

The difference between Salamence and Garchomp in my opinion is Garchomp's amazing typing Reaver. Dragon/Ground has impeccable coverage, with Fire Blast or Fire Fang to provide nearly perfect, if not perfect, coverage. DDMence has the same moveset as Chomp with the exception of DD/SD. Garchomp...

Still no contact from my opponent. Sent him a PM.

Agreed. Throwing my support behind Gnarwhal.

Only a single rate. 3rd page. Last bump before I let this die.

Alright, I'll see what I can do. Firstly, it says you haven't tested this team, which is in violation of Rules 16 (http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19179), but it says not tested on Shoddy, so I'm going to assume you've used it on Wi-Fi Ignoring that, lets get to the rate...

Taunt and Explosion are fairly necessary on my team, being a HO team, Taunt for reasons already said, namely, Roserade, and Explosion for a free switch and scouting on what they switch to after being unable to set up. Jirachi isn't a bad idea, but without Mence, Raikou is my only option to...

As anyone that knows me knows, I've been fairly obsessed the Suspect Ladder lately. I got into competitively battling shortly after Garchomp was banned so when Suspect testing started for Chomp again, I KNEW I had to try it out and see why it was banned in the first place. I wasn't disappointed...

I can tell you right now, as someone who has been playing a lot of Suspect lately, it is one of the easiest ways to deal with Garchomp, completely ruining Sub variants, and completely ruining it supported by Suicune or Skarmory.
