Hey psychotic thanks for the suggestions. Nidoqueen over rhyperior makes a lot of sense, I'll try it. The slowbro set also looks dope, I'll try that too. Calm mind was pretty useless on this team anyway.

Thanks for rate! I think I remember those games. I really doubt I yelled at you, I never do that lol. Ice punch on rhyperior also gives me a 100% accurate move to hit flying types with for what it's worth. I didn't really feel like a phazing move would be necessary on rhyperior since I maxed...

Hey guys! This is a team I threw together in 5 minutes without much thinking that did pretty well. I have yet to make any changes since its initial inception so I'm sure there are some changes that could be made to improve it. Team building process: I started with zoroark because I really...

I think your victini's cool, but I'm not sure the power increase of adamant is worth the speed drop. 100 is a very common base speed in UU and there are lots of stuff hovering around that speed that will pass you if you go adamant, plus you lose the ability to 2hko walls like gligar because...

^alakazam is ou

Having nidoqueen and cofagrigus together like that is redundant, they both wall the same type of pokemon. I'd suggest changing nidoqueen to something else, it's a wasted teamslot right now imo. And nidoqueen isn't a fire resist, lol. Idk what you want to replace it with, maybe a blastoise...

I thought I'd point out that scrafty's hi jump kick is super effective against steel types. I agree with swapping darmanitan's choice band for a life orb, seeing as the recoil is canceled and it'll let you change moves, but it's up to you as choice band is quite usable as well and slightly stronger.

I'll give victreebel a shot, but I don't think good players are going to let me set up often enough to make it worth the switch. But who knows, maybe I'm completely wrong about this. And yes hp rock would be superior to hp ghost in every way, it also hits fire types that aren't...

Mmm k thanks for the rates so far guys! Halcyon I'll give blastoise a shot, I was already toying with the idea so thanks for the input. I'll give it dragon tail with relaxed nature to break kingdra subs. @genxxz I'm a bit worried about replacing lilligant with a sweeper that is completely...

If you're gonna use abmipom I don't think I'd put a normal gem on it since the first move you'd use would usually be fake out. Life orb would be best or you could use silk scarf if you don't like recoil. Life orb/silk scarf fake out followed by life orb/silk scarf return is better than normal...

Thousand Sunny is a sun team I made quite quickly while trying to make a usable sun team. I've found this team surprisingly good considering how rare manual sun is. I sorta made it as a joke but used properly it is quite good. I don't think I've ever seen a team that I have no chance of winning...

I like the idea of intimidate on scrafty since you already carry substitute for status. This would also somewhat help the weavile weakness. Also, I'd suggest switching out icicle spear for icicle crash on piloswine since it's more reliable. Unlike rhyperior's rock blast, ice spear doesn't...

Ya I've never seen a protect rhyperior lol

Weavile literally can OHKO your entire team after a sword dance. That's huge. I'd recommend scarf heracross over scrafty but you already said you don't want to. To keep with the bulky offense theme maybe you could try putting a hitmontop over scrafty? It can run bulk up too, has very similar...

Thanks for the comment! Although my team is weak to ice there isn't too much to be afraid of since most of my team can outspeed and ko the rare ice types in the tier. Ice type coverage moves aren't that common, and if stuff like raikou or zapdos carry the hp ice they're walled by rhyperior...
