This is my first run at a Rain Dance team, but I think it’s come out reasonably. While it has a fairly good record, it is obvious the team is far from perfect and a good bit of C&C would be appreciated. One weakness I’ve noticed is that since the majority of the team has Life Orb, the damage...

ScarfTran isn't working for me - are there any alternatives that would work with this team?

Sorry, I edited the original document, so there are a few differences. Infernape did have a Focus Sash, and Swampert uses Leftovers. I'll make both the changes above, but one thing that stands out is that now the team is quite vulnerable to DDMence (one of the reasons I chose P2 over other...

For Hippowdon, try using Stockpile as a last move. Get a couple of boots in, and so long as you use Slack Off approproatly, crit hits and phazing are pretty much the only ways to move him.

Reserving for threats list + Latias threat list.

OK, the title's slightly deceptionary, but it got you in, right? This is yet another centralised team, this time focussed around Latias. The general premise is fairly simple – clear the area of Latias’ counters, then sweep. However, as the team has evolved, the idea has shifted into setting up a...

I've been using this team on Shoddy with an Azelf lead for some time now with a good deal of success, but I want to transfer this team onto the DS so I can try it on WiFi and join in with some friends. The majority of the Pokemon I'll be able to breed out myself, and I've already got a Starmie...

Well, there goes the title. ;) I'm tempted to try and run two seperate teams so I can keep one with Weavile, but I'll bite the bullet and switch for Scizor. Any other suggestions?

If you want a Rain Dance special sweeper, why not try a SpecStar? I don't know what the official rating is on her, but I've tried her in the past and she's never really let me down. Plus, in the rain, the only Pokemon that effectively resists Surf (with what is basically a super-effective from...

Note: All references to Weavile should instead be attributed to Scizor. In the course of progress, sacrifices must be made, including the remenants of originality and any form of theme. Though I used to play competitive battling a fair deal, a combination of greatly reduced time, an inrush of...

Sorry if this doesn't belong here, but I have a question. You know that legendaries on Shoddy can't have full IVs like ordinary Pokemon, right? Well, that throws Hidden Power completely out of kilt. I'm after a Zapdos with Hidden Power Ice, but what's the best IV range that gives him the highest...

I am relatively new to competetive play, being rather good but having little experience. My various teams has been racking up some quite consistent wins, but this was a first. A battle in which I did not lose a single Pokemon. Onto the battle: My team: Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause...

My favorite moment is a bit hard to choose (the time my Metagross 1HKOd a Deoxys-S with Bullet Punch was good) but it would have to be the time I let my Charizard, Fly Away, massacre the opposition. This was the first time I had used Fly Away. He switches into a Pokemon he can easily sweep, in...
