Woops! Actually, my Gyarados's Roar is actually Dragon Dance now. Swampert is a better phazer. Also, I am sorta using offensive Celebi to help me with my Water problems. Togekiss fares better than it would seem as well, despite not really being able to switch in. As for Dragons...well, they...

Alright. Yes, I am switching back to Swampert because he does live to receive Wish Support and counter opposing physical threats, as well as take Rock and Electric attacks directed at Gyarados. In the bigger picture, I do realize that Swampert contributes more to my team with its resistances and...

Good point. With Jirachi and Gyarados I do not really need Celebi for physical bulk and it provides much-needed offensive power. As for Scarftran...I'm still skeptical. Having a decent revenge killer is nice, but Heatran forces switches, and I want to smack those switches as hard as possible...

Thanks a lot for the tips Haunter. I'll test them out for sure. As for the Lucario and Infernape dilemma....well, since I have updated my team to contain Gyarados>Suicune I don't think they will be able to sweep me nearly as easily anymore, despite maybe KOing Gyara with Stone Edge (in which...

Well, since this has been dumbed down to the second page I feel that I should be able to bump it... BUMP!

Hello, Smogonites. Although I have been lurking around Smogon and battling competitively for quite a while, I've hardly posted and only recently joined because I was too intimidated by the strict guidelines here. Well, now I have finally decided to get some help with my latest, and as of yet...

I think you should use Pursuit. As it is, it's hard enough to get a Swords Dance up.

I don't think I've myself been using this team to its fullest potential, but I have attained some success with it. About the Skarmory problem, I believe it can easily be adressed by Gyarados. It's a variation of SubBounce that I have come up with Gyarados@Leftovers Nature: Adamant/Jolly EVs...

Wow. This looks like a very appealing team. I can't see any particular problems, but I wanted to compliment you. Nice team!

I have been lurking on Smogon Forums for the past couple months, and a couple of years before then I had discovered Smogon and been using their strategy pokedex and tier list. However, I never dared post on Smogon Forums due to their strict rules and my newbishness. Recently I have finally...

I like reliable leads that can either set up Stealth Rock nearly all the time or damage/status your opponent reliably. Anti-Leads only counter specific threats, so they are quite unreliable, unless they can do good damage to a wide range of Pokemon or come back in later. However, I believe...

Name: Stat-Up Counter Description: A Pokemon that can counter or severely cripple many of the top stat-boosting threats. Justification: There are many Pokemon that can sweep through most of a team if they get sufficient stat boosts through Calm Mind and Swords Dance. This Pokemon will be a...
