Some people believe that "perfect" coverage on a pokemon is conducive to success. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. HP Ice turns your 2HKOs with Stealth Rocks into OHKOs without Stealth Rocks. There is just no comparison. As for Dazzling Gleam, the move has very little utility on any pokemon...

The largest problem I see is that nothing can withstand a LO Starmie. If someone decides to lead with one, your entire team starts with a noticeable disadvantage. And Magnezone, if it manages to make a safe-switch in, can wreck your team with T-bolt and HP Fire. Based on your descriptions...

Well, you beat me to it... ya your team is (was once you implement the suggestions, and still is) weak to a Life Orb Starmie. Scizor can't do much because it will likely: A. Get SR/Spike Damage B. Get a decent chunk of HP removed by switch-in move C. Get KO'ed or burned by Scald Not much can...

Good Baton Passers in 5th Gen include: Blaziken, Chandelure (W/chain setup), Smeargle, Ninjask, Scyther (I think), Ambipom. As for making a team, I'm new too at competitive battling. The easiest thing for me to do is find a unique/strong pokemon I can base a team around. OR with milder success...

Thanks for the comment on Espeon. I was thinking Signal Beam for Tyranitars but that'd be illegal with Magic Bounce right? Since I'm losing 29 Special Attack EV's for Timid on Starmie do I miss any KO's? Is HP Fire needed on Magnezone, because often I can play the bluff on Ferrothorn and...

Team Neutrality Hi, smogoners, this is the new team I made for PO. It is doing pretty well and has managed to peak at 1173, which is decent for a new battler. Its purpose: disrupt synergy early game and wipe up the opposition with stalls, hyper offense, and status. The Star of this team...

Hey, I hope you are doing well too. I'm trying to squeeze out as much of the 4th generation as possible before the 5th gen ultimately destroys all meta-game logic. =P

Celebi is so predicatable with heatran and without a spinner, gyarados is crippled. Here are some better ideas: Swap gyarados with an agili +3 attack empoleon. You now have good synergy with celebi while being able to switch into sr without a problem... Unfortunately, you don't have a spin...

LO starmie can cripple this team. The only thing that doesn't get hit hard is bronzong and he has no instant recovery. Maybe switching bronzong for scizor? Maybe a bulkiesh one to take starmies hits but enough power to KO the troublesome sea star. If you want to keep bronzong, that's fine but...

Ok please... some people are totally trolling on your rotom... maybe people don't realize no guard on champ makes wow 100% accurate -.- I love the idea. Honestly you shouldn't need to worry about baton passing leads or an anti lead luke (wth?). Keep colbur berry because it will serve as more of...

I like the gengar set, it baits and counters most threats. However if you do decide to use mixape, you are better off sticking with focus blast

If what he says is true then keep explosion drop the entry hazards and add payback there. True double battles are probably more fast paced and you aren't even putting them up first

Looks like someone needs a mixape. This will check all of those threats you have problems with. Suicune has a chance of being koed with prior damage, vaporeon hates cc, hippo and swampy eat up grass knot, gliscor is checked with hp ice. Probably would replace heatran seeing as he was the failed...

Ok I'm not seeing this physical ape doing much. Infernape will bring in starmie, salamence, all things that will force him to switch out. A nasty plot ape might work but starmie still outspeeds. I am inevitably suggesting a mixape that can at least check most pokemon that don't outspeed him. It...

To thank you for looking at my anti-lead celebi gimmick ill attempt to rate this team, although I definitely don't know doubles. Here's a scenario I see happening: You switch in fory and rotom. Another guy sends in a rotom h. At this point, he will probably over heat your foretress or use...
