General thoughts on using Z-Terrakion sans SR but with EQ? I personally prefer to stick SR on something else because I hate choosing whether to click SR or SD when I expect a free turn. Calcs: +1 252 Atk Terrakion Continental Crush (180 BP) vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Landorus-Therian: 340-402 (89...

Not sure if I really wanna use Beedrill as a part of a Volt-Turn core. It seems like CB Scizor is simply better at spamming U-Turn. It is much bulkier and not weak to SR (this is huge implication). Also, it boasts powerful priority and nails Fairies in the same move (just like how Beedrill...

I appreciate your contribution! The Raikou and Hippowdon suggestions are welcomed and very well-reasoned. I wanna discuss Defog Latios though. Latios' two main coverage moves, Psyshock and Thunderbolt, hit threats that are already covered by the rest of team. Keldeo is countered by Sylveon and...

Have you considered physically-based KyuB? Kyurem-B @ Leftovers Ability: Teravolt Evs: 56 HP / 216 Atk / 236 Spe Lonely Nature - Substitute - Dragon Claw - Fusion Bolt - Ice Beam Get in KyuB on something he can force out. Substitute and watch how its usual counters struggle to counter you...

Yep, those are reasonable suggestions. The addition of Hippo ensures that I can check Mega Zard-X at all times while countering any other physical fire-types. Believe it or not, even Arcanine was giving me a hell of a time to my original team. :pirate: I'm iffy about your Defog Latios set...

Thief is definitely worthy of consideration, but Mega-Scizor makes for a great pivot in its own right even without U-turn thanks to respectable bulk and Roost. In mid-game, I find it especially effective to check a given threat, then punish the incoming switch-in with Knock Off. Admittedly, I...

The above user has a point. This Kyurem-B set may be a problem for you: Kyurem-B @ Leftovers Ability: Teravolt Evs: 56 HP/ 216 Atk / 236 Spe Lonely Nature - Substitute - Dragon Claw - Fusion Bolt - Ice Beam Kyurem-B has sufficient bulk to set up on both of your defensive backbones: Rotom-W and...

Greetings Smogoners, I am proud to present my first home-made team. Although I have been laddering since D/P/P, I have never bothered going through the theoretical rigor of creating my own team. I have garnered adequate knowledge through years of competitive battling, but my team-building is...
