I did for a while, but I ended up changing it to HP grass because swampert was typically switched in on my heatran, and I figured since most other water types took the same amount of damage from HP grass, I figured I might as well. Heatran isn't really a good counter for gyarados, even if...

Most good teams in all generations have used this 'core' idea, but what exactly does that have to do with Ferrothorn being the defining pokemon of this gen? Ferrothorn is without a doubt the most popular defensive pokemon currently used in the meta game, but I'm not sure how you tied that to...

Is it okay if I dump some banners here? Feel free to use any of these (preferably the one's without my name in them). Ideas, comments, requests? Post here or send me an email: hyperbolicsine@hotmail.com

I'd be more than willing to put together a thread for him, if I'm not the only one who feels he needs a thread.

That's what I figured. However, there are several other pokemon that didn't have many changes that got a thread. Would it be a good idea to make a thread anyway just to keep track of new threats and possibly new builds/strategies (which I can't think of off the top of my head)?

oh okay. That explains a lot. So I don't really need to worry about it if i'm just into standard metagame? also: 2 more questions still to be answered:

3 questions: Is there an actual tier for dreamworld? Or is that just how it's setup on the PO server for smogon? Also; really noob question: what's VGC? Lastly, why isn't there a thread for machamp? Should I make one?

No offense, but that doesn't really seem like a good answer. With all these new ridiculous dream world abilities, there are bound to be some OP abilities and there probably should have been more complex bans from the get go. Also, there aren't really that many complex bans in the first place...

I'm sure this has already been answered some where, but I can't find an answer for it so here goes: I can understand why blaziken was moved to uber, and it really doesn't bother me that much, but why can't they just ban speed boost blaziken? Blaziken with blaze is just as useful as it was...

So I have been faced with an issue: the blissey that I had been using in shoddy, a flawless blissey w/ stoss and wish, doesn't actually exist in game legally. The best wish blissey on smogon has kind of crappy IV's and can't learn stoss. So I'm not really sure what to do. That specific...

New stuff: Bearsfan092's Heatran ♀ OT: Matthew IV's: 30 / 30 / 31 / 30 / 31 / 31 HP Grass 70 EV's: 0 / 0 / 6 / 252 / 0 / 252 Nature: Mild Ability: Flash Fire Moveset: Flamethrower / Earth Power / Dragon Pulse / Hidden Power (Grass 70) PP's Maxed -Hold Item: Choice scarf This is...

It's no problem. I didn't realize until recently that the moveset was impossible to obtain. The team I had been using on shoddy battle was using that blissey specifically (it shouldn't be legal on shoddy, but whatever). But since it's next to illegal to use that blissey, I'll probably just...

Sorry, didn't see that there on the first read through. The balloon is most likely a better option, so I'd go with it.

I think we are assuming this is a 4th gen team.

You're lacking an ice attack which is going to give you trouble with dragons. Maybe you should replace gross with electivire running ice punch and two or three other coverage moves. Gross seems kind of redundant anyway since you have a scarfed ttar with earthquake and stone edge, which is the...
