I haven't played Pokemon for almost a year, so I decided to make a new team starring my favorite Pokemon Charizard. The thought process was just to make a Mega Charizard Y team using Pokemon that were in my PC at the time. After playing quite a few matches on Wi-Fi, I haven't lost with this team...

Is a bulky Venusaur viable on a team where you already have a Mega? I'm trying to make a fresh and new Zard-X team, and I'm just stuck with the building process. I had a good team prior but I saw flaws in the team, and wanted to correct them.

I agree with the nominations of Poliwrath going to D rank (or maybe E rank?). I nominated him a few weeks back, and it didn't get much discussion, but I'm glad he's getting some notice. Like some have said, Keldeo has similar bulk, more speed and better special attack. But in order for him to...

I don't normally post here, and I never made a nomination before, but I would like to nominate Poliwrath to the D Rank Poliwrath may seem like an odd nominee in OU, but he does have some assets that I think are useful in OU. The biggest reason I see in using Poliwrath, is to completely counter...

Heatran @ Leftovers Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 248 HP / 220 SpD / 40 Spe Calm Nature - Magma Storm - Toxic - Taunt - Protect Heatran is a great stallbreaker with this trapping set. I used to use this set all the time back in XY, when the Chansey/Clefable/Mega-Venusaur core was being a pain to...

I got a couple of 5 IV Naive Froakies, and I'm wondering if the lack of a perfect IV for Sp. Def will really be noticeable in battle. Should I start EV training the thing, or keep trying to get a 6 IV? Another question. What's a good move set for a Choice Scarf Diggersby since he's got access...

252 SpA Life Orb Starmie Psyshock vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Gengar: 429-507 (163.7 - 193.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Thank you for the replies and helpful ideas. I will do the Excadrill over Snorlax idea. Something I totally forgot about was Excadrill in the sand, with the ability to out speed the threats to my team and take them out. And it seems apparent that everyone says it is better than Snorlax. AV...

Hello, this is my first RMT and post on the website. I've been into competitive battling for about 2 years, and have been following the website since. I don't normally play on Showdown (elo is 1526), as I prefer playing on my 3DS. But I would love to have suggestions to the team, and if I did...
