I would say try hidden power ice because mixed explosion sets aren't very useful IMO. The point of explosion is to either get a revenge hit when you have really low HP, or, far more importantly, to just get rid of REALLY annoying or lethal threats to your team, in which case would be hard unless...

heatrans switch-ins take out your balloon though. While you do end up forcing talonflame out, they'll probably switch to someone with earth power or quake and since you don't have baloon you're done for. There's also the possibility they predict the switch and just u-turn to take out your...

Try cleric sylveon or chansey. Flamethrower, lava plume, and fire blast all are really big counters to your team. With sylveon or chansey, you provide extremely helpful cleric support to get ride of burns, poison, paralyze, etc... while giving essentially free max heals if you can land the with...

If you wanted to troll your opponent hard on the first turn, smeargle is a much better poke for it. Given that he has a sash cause there's not much else that's good on him in OU, he can spore and follow up with a complete setup, then destiny bond to increase the troll even more. Breloom is a...

Wouldn't it be beneficial to run Dragon claw to utilize the massive base attack and STAB on that set too though? I'm thinking if I use that set I'd want to replace substitute since my chansey can already cleanse status and get really good wish heals out.

Hey everyone, so I made a new team and so far it's gotten me the highest on the ladder. It's currently at around 1500 ELO and still can possibly get higher. Just need some speculation on any holes that could need to be filled: Slave Master (Chansey) (F) @ Eviolite Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252...

You don't really have much support roles on your team which makes you susceptible if you get spikes and rock set up on you, which will end up crippling kyurem-b, and mamoswine. Since you're having trouble with aegislash and mega-mawile, I'd try replacing someone with skarmory w/ rocky helmet...

If you wanna stick with forretress I would take off the screens unless you absolutely must have that synergy for the rest of your team and replace them with rapid spin and gyro ball. Gyro ball just hits really hard with 150 base power cap + STAB and can crush sylveon while really hurting...

Oh, my bad. Haven't used excadrill in a long time and most pokes similar can learn stone edge. Pixilate is probably better because hyper voice with pixilate is so much better than moonblast with cute charm, mainly because hyper voice is sound-based and therefore ignores substitute setups...

If you can, I'd try and find some space on your dragonite to put on facade. Definitely don't get rid of extremespeed, but considering how dragonite's a huge burn magnet (especially with weakness policy) facade ends up dealing massive damage whenever it gets hit by toxic or wisp. I also think...

What are your EV's? I'm guessing this is your in-game team so your items are limited, but I'll still give advice as if it were a showdown team: Life orb or some other damage booster would probably be better on zoroark, but I do like the idea of masking flamethrower to kill ferrothorns. Sucker...

Gliscor and dragon tail aggron-mega would probably destroy over half your team. Given your predictability with rotom-w being your only safe switch-in on physical attackers, a gliscor could easily toxic you and pretty much kill your rotom-w that way, even if it has pain split. Replacing volt...

My first RMT here. I've tried this team out for a while and it seems to work pretty well: Pass (Scolipede) @ Leftovers Ability: Speed Boost Shiny: Yes EVs: 248 HP / 176 Def / 84 SDef Calm Nature - Substitute - Protect - Iron Defense - Baton Pass I like to start with this in most cases. If...
