Yeah, as Faladaran said, I am reluctant to use Sleep Talking Heatran because it makes the team far too stallish, which isn't exactly conducive to all the U-Turning going on. While Life Orb does give Heatran some amazing breaking power, I am certainly willing to use another set. One set that has...

Threat List Reserved for Threat List, whenever I get around to it. Scizor: -Initial Switch: Usually, depending on the situation, Magnezone and Skarmory do a great job of walling it or otherwise destroying it. On second appearances, I typically go to Zapdos in case they feel inclined to...

Hey Smogon! So as I'm sure some of you more long-time members are aware, a while back there was a great RMT by M Dragon concerning the Art of the U-Turn (http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53850). Not only did M Dragon peak at #1, but he also was nominated for the RMT archive...

This is such a spot rate it's not funny, but I've noticed that Claydol is your only Trick Room user. You might want to find a spot for Slowbro or another bulky Trick Room user so you can keep your momentum going.

As you mentioned in your rate, you have a pretty horrid weakness to heatran and infernape alike. Starmie and Breloom can be quite the problem too, especially if Rotom gets trapped by a pursuiter. Finally, you'll need to watch out for LO Jolteon; you'll have to do a lot of hopping around to get...

The Heatran Lead Sorry, this will be a short nitpick (too lazy to do a full rate, unlike those above me). I'd like to ask, what can Heatran viably taunt that either a. he doesn't already beat or b. he risks getting smacked by an earthquake or something? Since Heatran is Modest, that means...

First thing I noticed: since Abomasnow doesn't have any special moves (and IMO blizzard is better; however, ice shard does make it a nice check for Salamence, which you can't really counter), you should switch to a Jolly nature and move the special attack EVs to attack. You might want to...

Thank you very much for the suggestions, everyone! :) You know, now that I think of it, a scarf Latias is a really neat idea. It may make spikes a pain, but bulkier Pokemon can still set up SR following LO Starmie's death, and Infernape can take care of some of the slower ones. the only Poke...

Hello, this is an OU team that I have built about a week back. With some testing, I only won ~50% of my battles... I seem to either have trouble with super-stall or super-offensive teams, or my prediction skills are still kinda mushy. Team at a glance...

Okay, so lately I have been "trying" to get into the D/P/Pt generation. Unlike the last generation, it seems like defensive teams have lost a lot of credit, and I'm having trouble transitioning to a more offensively-oriented metagame. I haven't tested this team yet, but I have gone through a...

I'm going to go ahead and bump this, since no one seems to want to take a look a this RMT...

Okay, sorry for the double post, but I just realized something else: Deoxys-S is a lot better at scaring away counters than Starmie. Therefore, I can use deoxys-S to counter stuff like gyarados and skymin and replace starmie with something like tentacruel; tentacruel is able to set up toxic...

Thanks for the deoxys-S suggestion; I forgot that he learned spikes, and he's a great counter to skymin due to that amazing speed. I do have three questions though: 1. Do you think this team is a noticeable improvement over the last team I posted...

Well, you obviously need more swift swimmers and need to abuse the rain more. Stuff like kingdra, ludicolo, kabutops, and floatzel can work under the rain. Freligatr and gyarados can be used as well, since they have dragon dance to boost their speeds and waterfall can really hurt after a dragon...

After screwing around for a while in shoddybattle, I improved my team a little bit, but it still needs some help. Here it is: Bronzong @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP/86 Atk/80 Def/92 SDef Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd) - Earthquake - Gyro Ball - Stealth Rock - Grass Knot Slight...
