I think we all need to go back to basics here. When it comes down to it, there are two main styles of play when designing a pokemon team - Offensive and Stall. (I know this is a broad generalisation but it's effectively true - trying to strike a balance between offense and stall is of course...

Not meaning to sound insulting as you've obviously been here longer than me and have more experience but just stop and think for a second. Is it really right to ban something just because a valid strategy exists surrounding it? This is an article which I really think should be read by ANYONE...

I know I'm really REALLY late on this but someone just linked this post from a few weeks back on gamefaqs and I felt the need to post a rebuttal to it as I'm assuming a lot of the arguments for mence being uber are the same. http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2686077#post2686077...

Ahah that thing with the scizor is a great idea. How do I get superpower on it though? (Remember I'm making this on a DS) Sorry I'm a bit late replying to these, was away for a couple of days. Any more feedback?

If I'm putting a scarf on Jolteon I might as well use something else, it loses so much of its raw killing power without specs. I know you've been quick about it but acknowledging that I have a 'mence problem and then saying I don't need SR... really? :/ I might consider specs on 'tran, that...

This is an offensive team that I've been working on and testing on wi-fi so I can win a local tournament in a couple of weeks time. So far it looks like this but I've hit a few problem areas (which I'll talk about at the end) The team is offensive and tries to be very fast paced and powerful...

That Gliscor is EXACTLY what I was looking for when I chose Rotom, Don't believe I didn't think of it myself. Also, Toxic on Gliscor allows me to keep explosion on heatran, so I'll probably go with Heatran (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 4 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk Naive nature (+Spd, -Sp...

You don't need to completely scrap it, the framework is there for it to be good. If you're aiming for a sandstormy sort of thing then give this a read http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/sandstorm_teams

From whats been said here I'm going to test a few new versions of the heatran before deciding on one. Heatran (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 4 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk Naive nature (+Spd, -Sp Def) - Substitute - Fire Blast - Earth Power - Explosion Heatran (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Flash...

Ok if you're just starting then that changes things. I'm not the best person to explain how to make a good team but basically what you want to do is have a 'win condition' for the team, i.e. a goal for the team. As for items there are a few that I can explain Leftovers and shell bell you know...

Your team doesn't seem to have an overall goal, just looks like a few pokemon thrown together with the common theme of 'most of them aren't affected by sandstorm' Also, why are you unsure on ANY of your items?

I'm testing surf on it right now actually and you're probably right. I'll test LO tran next

The goal of the team Sweep with lucario after revealing and clearing out counters using the other pokemon The team at a glance In Depth Look Uxie @ Choice Scarf Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP/106 Def/152 Spd Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Trick - Stealth Rock - Yawn - U-turn The lead for this...

I've been using this team on ladder for a couple of months now and its pulling together fairly well. My only issues are that its difficult to get round special walls as the team is too specially orientated and that the Gengar isn't pulling its weight enough, but more on that later. On with the...

I don't get why they didn't just do events at every game/gamestation around the country like they did with shaymin :/ These locations are all too far away from me especially considering the pokemon is so bad
