A TEAM WITH ZOROARK ON IT Hey smogonites! Im lemonz, and here's a team I've been toying arround with for a while. I've always liked using zoroark, so I decided to base a team arround him. I'm not very good at explaining things, so bear with me. This is a balanced offensive team that...

Rain and sun are very much worth the item slot. Perhaps not sandstorm and hail, since they don't modify the damage of moves, like the other two. I was arround for DPP though, and while you didn't see them to the same frequency now, rain and sun teams were present, and rain was certainly a...

Excadrill wouldn't have been as bad if he had only eight turns (using sandstorm and that one rock) to sweep, and have to set it up. There are just to many people running weather teams; they don't want their favorite strategies taken away. It wouldn't have been a popular decision to ban auto...

Only Ice types don't get damaged from hail aswell, and there are only two viable abilities to benefit that weather, one of them recently getting banned. But still, as a field effect, it ought to take a turn to set up. If hail were to have enough abuses, it may easily become broken aswell. But...

It wouldn't be overpowered if it took a turn to set up. As it is, all you have to do is switch, and voila! It's in the fact that weather takes little to no effort to summon permanantly that makes it broken.

@Dark Fallen Angel Yeah, I meant psuedo weakness. My bad xp Thing is, it still alters resistences and weaknesses, which is an extremely powerful asset. Something like that ought to require set up time, like rain dance does, and not instantly summoning it indefinitely, like drizzle.

The reason sand and hail are much more manageable over rain and sun is because they former two don't modify typing damage resists and effectiveness. This is why rain is the most powerful out of all the weathers: it turns water types into beatsticks, and give steels a psuedo-resist. Sun isn't as...

Thunderus was broken without rain, but I'm not if I could say the same about manaphy or tornadus-t. Regardless though, weather makes setting up near effortless for a plethora of pokemon. Like that thing with drizzle-swift swim. All you have to do is have weather up, which takes no set up turns...

Personally, I'd like to see all perma-weather gone, but when it comes down to it, sand isn't as broken as rain, and perhaps sun to an extent, in the sense that those two, unlike sandstorm and hail, cause damage increases for fire and rain, creating a huge power creep.

-bring back the old sleep mechanics so rest becomes somewhat viable -nerf stealth rock so it does only 25% max, 6.75 min. ignores 4x effective and 4x resists -make weather abilities so that they when the pokemon with the ability switches, the weather will end. -give some select pokemon moves and...

Team has been updated, I'll be adding details soon. Thanks for all your help

Yeah, I'd say go for it. Hp grass isn't exactly strong anyway, and perish song can still be used on a scarf set. It's got surprise value too.

Found out changes make me extremely weak to mamo. Trying bronzong over nidoqueen. @Takion Lucario setting up isn't much of a problem so the air baloon isn't really needed, and the power is needed for extremespeed to kill certain things. volcarona seems nice, but hitting psykics...

Not sure if I can "ass" a garchomp lol. Im gonna do some testing with the advice you two have given me so far. Here's the changes Im trying: -Crobat->Scarf Thunderus T -Virizion->SD Chomp -Nidoqueen w/ Toxic Spikes and EQ over Ice beam and Earth power with adjusted nature and EVs I like the...

I like the surprise factor youre packing with latios. I don't see that many flaws with youre team, but keep in mind Im not the most experienced rater, and I've only lightly dabbled in the art of hyper offense. That being said, you could run full special attack over hp on latios, and run...
