this is a good point. unfortunately, spinblockers are hard to come by in the BW metagame. gengar and the other offensive ghosts don't last long enough, dusknoir lacks STAB, HP and speed, rotom-a isn't a ghost anymore, and drifblim has a terrible defensive typing. that leaves few options...

in a metagame defined by the competition between sand and rain, it might be instinctive for you to put a weather changer on your team. i don't think that's entirely necessary for this team, though. tyranitar does give a little bit of support to heatran for causing some poke's to lose hp faster...

if your opponent plays well, volcarona with hidden power, a fire move and bug buzz will beat you 100% of the time. the way you're playing deoxys-s, it's most likely setting up SR and possibly spikes, maybe using an attack and then dying. very often you will immediately end up with 5 pokes...

i think that using CM Virizion instead of latios would be a great idea. it isn't as easily revenge killed and can still hurt ferrothorn while your weather is up. Virizion @ Life Orb/Leftovers/Lum Berry Justice Heart Timid Nature 4 HP 252 SpA 252 Speed -Calm Mind -Giga Drain -Focus Blast -HP...

stealth rock is not NECESSARY to have on the field, but the advantage that it gives you during battle is so great that there's really no reason not to use it. instead of toxic on forretress, i'd suggest earthquake, spikes or even pain split. most pokemon that switch into forretress are not...

skarm was #16 in the May usage stats. That's pretty popular. :/ anyway, GroudonEx was correct. Haxorus HARDLY takes electric attacks. Specs Thudurus and Rotom laugh at your puny efforts to stop them. Something that can take their hits consistently would help your team a lot. Unfortuately...

mammers needs a CB. ice shard is one of the only reasons to use mamoswine, so you should make the most of it. get rid of taunt on heatran. As I said before, it is next to useless on him. replace it with SR so that if natty dies early you won't lose all hope of setting up hazards. also, leech...

Landorus does get Outrage, although HP Ice is almost always a better option. I agree with the rest of this post though, Landorus is basically a better Flygon. Landorus @ Choice Band Nature: Jolly/Naive Ability: Sand Power EV's: 4 HP 252 Attack 252 Speed -EQ -Stone Edge -U-turn -Hidden Power...

if you're going to use choice specs, switch out latias for latios. latios has more special attack than latias, so it is better suited for a choice item. switching taunt for stealth rock on heatran might be more helpful in the long run. taunting heatran is not a very good stallbreaker since it...

CM virizion can easily defeat this team. your ice attacks are not powerful enough to OHKO it, and it can OHKO basically your whole team after it's at +1. not much can stop that monster, but replacing conkledurr with a scizor can prevent it from at least 6-0ing you. most sets will 2HKO with...

i think i'll just pretend i read "nidoqueen" instead. Replacing Misdreavus with nidoqueen would cause Toxic Spikes, SR, and Spikes to be all easily spun away. Things like gorebyss and Volcarona also are unable to be pHazed, and not much would be countered that i couldn't already handle. I...

+1 focus blast from virizion OHKO's skarm after SR. :/ i have actually tried out dusclops on this team, before even magnezone. his taunts are very, very slow, and even if i get him into bliss safely he still ends up toxiced. skarm also can set up 1 or 2 layers of spikes on him before he...

bumpin'. come on guys D:.

Threatlist Black: Handled well Orange: Threat Red: Signifigant threat Offensive Threats Breloom - You might think this thing would be a problem since i have no status absorber, but it's not too big of a threat. Ttar can still break subs with any moves besides pursuit, bliss and slowbro can use...

The OU Misdreavus Boogie! 'Sup bros. I don't really go in these forums much; i mostly just play instead of lurking around. I've been using this team for a while, with reasonable success. I usually stay around 1250-1350. I feel that it could be better, so that's why i'm going here. Team...
