Unless your friends AREN'T playing OU, I would never consider Alakazam a sweeper. Psychic is by far the most prevalent type in OU (Starmie, Eggy, Slowbro, etc.), and so you won't be hitting things hard like you did when Alakzam swept in-game. Most of the time when you send Zam in, your...

Why wouldn't you use Double Kick on the Jolteon (to help deal with Chansey mainly, and maybe Tauros and Snorlax, though Tbolt might do more there, or maybe Rhydon/Golem get one decent critical hit in before the sub breaks)? I imagine my friends would use Pin Missile though, as its the "counter"...

Even though I'm using a cartridge I also own Pokemon Stadium (with Dodrio mode) and I've been leveling up almost all of my options (I even have a lvl 100 Jynx with max stat exp... kind of a shame). Also, I understand the dilemma about using an Exeggutor with Double Edge against Chansey. I made...

I guess I might as well post this before your edit, but if I'm playing Stadium exclusively, is a sleeper still that important? I was led to believe it wasn't... That being said, I think I would prefer it on Exeggutor over Gengar, because I hate the accuracy of Hypnosis and I like Confuse Ray...

Thanks Aether, you've cleared up a fair bit that I had misinterpreted. I have been reading up on GSC a bit (in case a tournament #2 :P) and maybe because of that I overemphasized the value of Snorlax. Also, while Rhydon might be a powerhouse, he does have a lot of weaknesses, and even with good...

Most of my friends don't know they work that differently. I imagine its going to be Stadium 6v6, if it was 3v3 I think I would just pick a bunch of sweepers and go with it (Exeggutor, Tauros, Snorlax everytime). Odds are, its going to be majority Stadium. The only reason I assume a bit of...

From what I remember, it works on Stadium, which we will be playing on for at LEAST half the time (this is a cartridge tournament, linkbattle for a bit)

Thanks so much for the input! After reading this I started thinking about team dynamics, and possible threats my opponents might have. Firstly, I am worried about Chansey. Other than Tauros, and maybe Exeggutor and Gengar exploding on her, she has the possibility to do a lot of damage. Is this...

Sorry to double post, but I also wanted to ask about something else. Without Zapdos in the metagame, how does Lapras (Blizzard, Tbolt, CRay, BSlam) move up the ranks as a viable choice over Starmie (or maybe both?). Less consistent paralysis, and slower, but a lot beefier, and has physical...

I am intrigued by the idea of using an Amnesia Lax, as it will be unexpected and can counter a lot of special sweepers. However, I don't know if it fits into my team dynamic. I don't know if boltbeam can be considered redundant, but Chansey and Starmie both use boltbeam, would a 3rd one be...

So I'm making a standard team for a tournie with friends. The rules include no Ubers, species clause, sleep clause, OHKO and evasion clause, and most importantly, NO LEGENDARIES. Without Zapdos, my team dynamic changes slightly. Also, a lot of people are inexperienced (I expect a lot of...
