You know, I think Flash stopped being an HM a while ago and is just a TM now. I feel like that'd be a better route to go, and just have a condition on Surf so you can't forget it while surfing. They'd still be around and required, but you could teach one to a 'mon, then get rid of it once you...

"Surf can't be forgotten now!" if you're still surfing, but let you forget it normally if you're not? I'm pretty sure they can run a check to see if you're in the water when you go to forget Surf.

Rain support is one option I was considering. Competitive he ain't, but as a sort of side project, I'd like to find a way to use him. And his Hidden is Sheer Force? >.> Come on, Game Freak, don't tease me like this!

That's something I hadn't considered. Mega Evolutions have taken some getting used to, since it means that 'mon effectively can't use an item. It just feels wrong seeing a mega version lower than a normal, I guess :P Also, I'd cast my vote in favor updating the definitions of ranks. It'd...

I was under the (mistaken) impression that's exactly what it meant, going by the super short blurb there. A bit more reading into the thread would've helped me. Also, new goal: somehow use a Shedinja to beat a good, non-Baton Pass team. And this might be a stupid question, but why is Mega...

Any teammates out there that can support this set here? (since on his own he seems to be... mediocre) Feraligatr@Mystic Water (At present, though items are open to suggestion) 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP Adamant Nature -Aqua Jet -Waterfall -Swords Dance -Crunch (Also open to suggestion) Gatr's my...

Very true. I never said it's a fantastic 'mon, just one that seems to have a niche. Granted, I'm speaking from secondhand experience going against them, as I've only ever used Shedinja in Nuzlocke runs myself, but they seem to have a few uses, and can hold on for an extra turn with Focus Sash...

I'd think Shedinja is a decent fit for D-Rank. I mean, it's horrible at living, but as others have said, it has its uses as a pivot, with WoW, and with a few offensive moves. I'd never bank on one to carry a team, but it can at least function somewhat in OU.

I've got the Skarmory ready (happened to have a lv. 1 Impish with Brave Bird and Whirlwind bred onto it leftover from when I was breeding them en masse on Platinum, all I had to do was teach it the TM/HM), the Hippopotas will be a bit, since I have to catch one, breed it for nature/IV/Slack Off...

That makes a lot of sense, actually. Aegislash is something I haven't actually seen, to be honest. Hippopotas with Stealth Rock is only really accessible in Gen IV, and as I said, I'm currently lacking PokeBank. :/ Anything you can recommend in the meantime that's more readily accessible in VI...

Yeah, I know that pretty well. :p The only Talonflame I've seen is a friend's and it must have some weird investment. It's only OHKO'd Greninja with a crit, and usually drops to Scald. I admit I'm inexperienced fighting Talonflame, it just hasn't been as common as I expected. Oh! I've seen a...

I might have to. As of right now my main way to beat Tflame is Greninja using Scald (Well, Hydro Pump now I s'pose), which typically does pretty well for me, though admittedly not perfect.

First, thanks for the input! Believe it or not, this isn't an in game team. I put it together postgame. Ingame, I did use a Talonflame and a Greninja, but that's about all I kept from the ingame side. I like Dragon Claw over Outrage on Haxorus, as well as Lum Berry over Shell Bell. I'll add...

Huh. I think mine's defective (likely, I think it has a 0 IV in Sp. Def). Not that it matters too much, I'm not huge on Dragonite anyway. Looks too silly, imo. I didn't see Kyurem-B on the A+, must've missed it >.< I've been meaning to move mine up with Pokebank, kinda lucked out and got a...

In my secondhand experience (through my brother's team), Gourgeist seems to be a bit more open in what it can do than Trevenant. Brother's is a small Gourgeist with Substitute, Leech Seed, Shadow Sneak and Explosion (couldn't give you much more than that, I know it has 252 speed EVs but it's not...
