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.
My attempt to Make Talonflame Great Again fell apart at match 41 when Toxapex was taunted by a Weavile. So I used good ol' Trick Room to get my 50+ in doubles, making my way up to 75 wins before misplaying against another TR user. They've always been annoying to face and this game isn't any...
It's taken me a while to get around to putting any sort of effort into the battle tree. I miss the frantic pace and overall mayhem of the triples format and I'm less motivated to try a bunch of stuff with the lack of easy ways to grind EXP this gen. I did manage to halfheartedly throw a singles...
I'm somewhat fond of naming pokemon after fighting game characters. Not the most original, but whatever. Some of my favorites:
Absol: Ms. Fortune
Rotom-W: DryCleanOnly
(Shiny) Lucario: Pikachu
Camerupt: Ground Beef
Medicham: Dhalsim
Aggron: Shao Kahn
Hydreigon: Mr. Dinkles
Cofagrigus: Need a...
I have a question about using Pursuit in doubles/triples
VS.
Let's say Krookodile in the middle there uses Pursuit. If it targets Aron at the same time that I switch out Camerupt, does Pursuit switch targets and hit Camerupt instead or is the AI...
I thought this was a nice spot for a quick update. The team is here except I switched Cressy's leftovers for a power lens dropping her speed from a high-ish 81 to 40(?) so she functions better under TR.
Maison AI seems to have turned up the heat a bit. I've already had three close calls since...
I've been reading into some of those arguments complaining about how ugly/lazy/uninspired some gen 1 or 5 designs are and it's got me re-evaluating some pokemon I thought that I hated. In particular I wanna talk about a pokemon that I have a newfound appreciation for:
For whatever reason I...
Good ol' Quick Claw. Ruining hopes and dreams since 2005.
I remember many years ago seeing someone get bodied by Rhydon's Quick Claw Horn Drill or Fissure 3 turns in a row then posting the rather astronomical chances of that happening. It was hilarious.
Finally, 1,000 wins and ongoing in super triples. My team is largely the same, but just in case...

I took Repto's advice so I won't have to worry about Serperior4 anymore. No complaints yet...
Oops, fixed. My B
I'll go with your Rindo berry idea, since Tyrantrum4 hasn't actually targeted Slowbro yet, usually opting to go after Camerupt or Aron with Head Smash instead. I usually will mega evolve turn 1 if there's something that out-slows it before but not after. Any other time I'm...
I had thought about Flamethrower, but held off on it so far because of my tendency to mega evolve on turn 2 while Aron Endeavors something Sturdy, sashed, or fire-resistant on Camerupt's side. In the beginning I was more liberal about attacking with Camerupt on turn 1 instead of Protecting if I...
Hoy. Came through to get some ideas for the maison and get some feedback for the triples team I'm using for my current run. Currently have an ongoing streak of 300. Already have all 5 trophies and more BP than I'll ever need but I'm still having fun with it. I used R Inanimate's team for the...
