Hi there, nice team If pursuit gives Espeon trouble, it shouldn't- you can just Baton Pass out to escape from T-Tar & Scizor. A word of advice- Espeon could benefit from HP Fire, since a ridiculous amount of teams try to counter Espeon with Scizor, and HP Fire, especially with the boost from...

Regarding Choice Band Staraptor, it gets a guaranteed 2HKO on Jellicent. To beat Jirachi, you could try giving Espeon Hidden Power Ground, as this lets it fight Jirachi somewhat. otherwise, you could predict the switch and hit it hard- Staraptor's Close Combat does a reasonable amount, or you...

If you aren't happy with Dragonite, try slipping in a Physical Sweeper, just to get around Chansey, Blissey. Although there aren't any blisteringly fast guys that benefit or are common on rain teams, Choice Band Staraptor seems to fit the mold of your team quite nicely. It can take out the two...

I thought about using Donphan when I made the team, but I wanted the ability to revenge kill dragons outside sun, just in case I lost the weather war and like you said, Donphan's Ice Shard does horrible damage. I'll give him a try, though, as well as Starmie. I like the suggestion for Protect...

Hey there Smogon! This is my first Sun Team. Being more familiar with Sand and Volt-Turn teams, I had never realized the sheer power of certain sun team threats. When I experienced first-hand the awesome power of Victini's V-Create and Victreebel's versatility, I decided I had to try this out...

Tyranitar is also an option over Scizor, for a number of reasons. First off, Choice Banded Tyranitar hits like a monster truck, and absolutely smashes special walls. Furthermore, you noted that Sun teams tend to neuter Celebi somewhat- Tyranitar gives you a sandstorm instead, and that lets you...

Hi there! Nice team, I just have a couple of issues. What's with the EV's on Tyranitar? Who are you trying to outspeed? Generally, Scarf Tyranitar has max Speed EV's and a +Speed Nature so it can outrun everything up to and including Timid Starmie. The Scarf doesn't help you beat Scizor, btw...

Sand Veil and Blaziken are both banned. Your Blissey's EV's make no sense, and neither do its moves. Blissey has pathetic defence, investment isn't going to help it. I'd recommend going for Special Defence. Heal Pulse is ...no. Just no. And why Psychic? Fighting Types will most likely outrun...

Ok, there's one thing about this team that is absolutely horrible. Every single pokemon except Forretress is weak to Fighting type attacks. That means Breloom, Conkledurr, Toxicroak- anything carrying a fighting move can smash holes in this team too large to recover from. Seriously, you'll have...

It would help if you could tell us which pokemon in particular are giving you trouble, so that we focus on beating them in particular.

Hi there! It's a nice team, and it seems fairly solid. Just one thing- Dragons hurt this team. +1 Dragonite gets the 2HKO on offensive Heatran, and you have no other resists bar Forretress, who gives up when he sees them Fire Punch you. And the sun you put up is boosting their Fire Punch. Also...

Hi there! This is an interesting team, and I love using Stoutland in sand. There are three big issues I see here: The first thing is, why use Flygon? I get that you want a revenge-killer, but Stoutland is faster, has the same base attack, and isn't locked into any move. Flygon seems totally...

Dexter, Scarf Kyurem-B isn't something that tries to go 6-0 right out of the gate. It cleans up late game when most of its counters have been eliminated. With all the pokemon HigglyBiggly has that pack powerful fighting moves, Ferrothorn is not an issue. At all. If it tries to fight anything...

Umm... Dexter, he's already got 4 pokemon packing powerful fighting moves. Ferrothorn can't wall Breloom, Conkledurr, Infernape AND Scizor- they all get supereffective hits and 2HKO it. Ice beam gives Kyurem-B STAB, which it kinda needs, as Outrage only gets a 50% chance (approx) to 2HKO...

Try and have more description for each Pokemon- it's hard to understand why you chose each Pokemon, what threats you intend for them to take out, etc. Now, first off, with that Latias set, you should run a life orb, as there is no point to running recover on a Choice set- you get locked in to...
