Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Bump. I have since scrapped Excadrill and replaced him with Scizor:
Scizor @ Iron Plate
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Defog
- Roost
- Bullet Punch
- U-Turn
For playing OU I simply use Mega Pinsir instead of Mega Salamence:
Pinsir @ Pinsirite
Ability: Hyper...
Mostly Battle Spot Singles and regular Link Battles. When I play OU I swap Mega Mence for a Swords Dancing Mega Pinsir since they play similarly and fill basically the same roll.
So I decided to build a team based around Mega Mence:
Salamence @ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Return
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang
The main sweeper and centerpiece of the team. Intimidate, Dragon Dance, Destroy. DD for setting up...
So I decided to make a revised version of the team by replacing Gengar with a bulky Arcanine for better coverage against Ice. He may not be OU, but he's been serving me very well in Showdown so far. I think he's a keeper.
Salamence @ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252...
I might try that, but now I'm considering replacing Gengar all together in favor of a fire type, and possibly replacing Counter with Steel Wing on Skarmory. I've never really been a fan of Substitute.
So I am trying to build a team based around Mega Salamence, after lots of trial and error testing, this is what my final team came out to:
Salamence @ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Return
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
Breloom @ Focus...
