What advice would you give a player looking to get back into the current metagame (specifically OU)? I've been away from battling for a couple of months and I'm having some trouble adjusting. Is there anything you would suggest going over (RMTs, warstories, etc...) that may help me get, at the...

If Hypnosis works just as good, thats fine. Otherwise you would need to get a (somewhat) fast taunter into that lead position. Moving Mismagius into the lead spot wouldn't be a bad idea. It gets Taunt, can pass Levitate to Jirachi and can make use of Serene Grace. Azelf would do a better...

This is a pretty cool team Starman. The absence of Taunt really hurts though. Try working that into your lead. Also, you have a 3x weakness to fire, whether it matters or not. I guess you might have some trouble against Sunny Day teams.

Wouldn't Ice Shard (+ Fake Out?) KO Yanmega?

Did you check the Strategy Dex? That'll give you standard EV spreads and natures as well as moves. If you plan on making this your own creation, I can't help. I'm no good with the UU tier.

Doesn't Sash Infernape work pretty well? Close Combat takes out TTars, Fake Out + Fire Blast/HP Ice takes out the most popular suicide leads and it can also run SR.

Well, if you're looking to abuse Snow Cloak, then Froslass would probably win over Glaceon in the long run. It gets TWave, which as stated above, provides you with a 46% chance of avoiding an attack, provided it has 100% accuracy. Substitute can be used in conjuntion with this method to ensure a...

Blissey just isn't as great without Wish. If you really need something to take status, try a ResTalker. The rest of the team looks great. Baton Pass isn't the best of moves anymore, but if you'd like to keep it, I do have a couple of suggestions. First of all, you have a 3x weakness to ground...

After I got into competitive battling, I took a lot more notice in IVs/EVs in-game. Now a days I always soft-reset for a decent natured starter. I also, as said before, worry about what type of EVs my Pokemon are getting as I play through the game. However, I don't like the absence of these...

Do any of the stats have an advantage over the others for being picked or are the chances of getting each stat the same?

Actually, you might have some problems with the said Explosion teams. Froslass could work as an alt. to Glaceon. Life Orb variants have worked well for me in the past.

You state that Nape is running Fire Punch for Skarmory and Bronzong. Why not make the set a mixed set and run Flamethrower? It will do more damage to Skarmory and other steel tpyes who traditionaly have better defense then special defense. If you end up making the changes above, you'd be safe...

Why run HP Fire when TBolt does just as much damage? With Magnet Rise, Magnezone doesn't even have to worry about taking damage from Zong anyway. HP Ice would be the better choice because it provides better coverage against other threats outside of steel types. Also, consider changing...

Consider Hydro Pump on Starmie. I realize it doesn't have the best accuracy but it has two good things going for it. It has a higher base power then both HP Water and Surf and it doesn't hit your own Pokemon. If you don't like Hydro Pump then I guess HP Water would be the better choice. Without...

I remember seeing this somewhere, but I can't remember where. How many of each of the parents stats are picked to be passed down to the baby during breeding?
