I have a counter to consider: Porygon2 @ Evo Stone Trace Bold 252 HP 252 Def 4 Sp. Def Recover Thunderbolt Ice Beam Hidden Power Water/Hidden Power Fire This guy switches into Doryuuzu and recieves only 115 max damage from Doryuuzu. With Hidden Power Water, he returns a minimum damage of 150...

Lucario is one of those pokemon that has always been better on paper than in practicality. Sure, on paper, he's got great typing, a solid movepool, and agility or swords dance. But what exactly in the metagame is he going to be setting up on? With EQ and *insert a fire move here* being so...

The problem with that argument is the rabbit trail we go on when you say that since a majority of teams can not counter it, we should ban it? Should we ban anything a majority of teams can not counter? Of course not. Salamence's broken or not broken state hinges entire on the question of whether...

I agree with the above post. Salamence is predictable. It takes exactly one switch (to Scizor, and since most people are using Scizor anyway, it's not a big deal) to determine how to kill Salamence. You do realize that Scizor's Banded BP + Rocks + LO damage = Salamence is dead. If the Mence is...

I'd have to say Ice is the easiest thing to mono. Since you can permahail, you get a field advantage right away, and unlike Sandstorm + Rock, your best "weathered" pokemon are in your type - Sandstorm screams for Steels and Grounds to be used on your team. Hail doesn't have that problem. Plus...

I like this change. While I disagree that Latias was "uncounterable", when threads like this occur and people respond with "Crap, there go 66% of my teams", something is wrong. No Pokemon should be that good that you want to use it on 2 out of 3 teams you build. What makes Latias so dangerous is...

I'm not going to lie, you have a massive Heatran weakness. Your counters are both grass types, and Scarf ones ripp you through if you don't predict right. I'd switch Cress for Blissey. You desparetely need a special wall for Heatran. Maybe try Thunder Wave, Wish, Protect, Seismic Toss on her.

Bump. I tested an Expert Belt on Gengar today. Worked well. Pwned up some unsuspecting Lucarios.

Gengar: I gotz bored? Solid point on Leftovers. The recover hasn't been work it. I didn't think to put that down in my summary. Scizor: BugBite's coverage against Psychic/Dark is great, not to mention it gets Technician boosted. Oh, yeah, and the lolz when I eat berries are great stuff...

It was a cold day. A boy lay with his head on the desk, a ruined computer in front of him. It's blue screen of death mocked his presence. After a hefty Thief from the bank, a new computer soon arrived on this tragic scene, but it could not save the harddrive. Years (ok, fine, weeks) of battling...

Add a Mamoswine. Ice Shard, EQ, Steon Edge, SR. Drop, umm, Mismagius. No synergy from her.

I really like that set for Porygon, but the one I have now has been marvelous, so I'm not going to mess with it. Thanks though. Skarm: Yeah, I know, I have been having that issue. It was solved easily though. If I recognize a Taunter (usually D-e), I switch in Porygon, and precede to Dark...

Welcome to my first serious attempt at a team that will win. It's been less than stellar thus far. I haven't been keeping track, but it's about .500 so far. I think it has potential and I'm simply a poor predictor. What do you think? Leading off: Skarmory Nature: Impish EVs: 252 HP, 6 Atk...

Bump

Thanks guys. Updates in Bold, please say opinions on 6th spot pokemon.
