i don't think having "another sweeper" is your problem. many teams are dedicated to setting up single sweepers like ddtar, using a combination of residual damage, walls, and wallbreakers to open up the crucial setup turn. this, i believe, is the standard formula for balanced teams (if there is...

nice rmt, but i'm not sure about the team itself. a couple of questions. -what, exactly, is the winning plan behind this team? while countering threats used to be a valid strategy, it has been made clear that there are far too many threats in dpp play to make merely countering them a useless...

ninjask + 5 strong attackers may seem like a decent idea for an offensive team on paper, but it is a bad idea to rely entirely on passing speed boosts. strong priority movers like scizor, mamoswine, or the occasional weavile, will render ninjask to a single use--or perhaps none at all. lead...

kd24, gouki, darkie, and jabba seem to have the right idea itt joining the ranks of the enlightened

by "turn them into a phazer" i literally meant turn them into a phazer. give suicune or swampert roar. lucario is clearly not going to be boosting up on the other four team members, and while it may seem like a really good reason NOT to fear lucario, i simply can't just ignore the fact that it...

with the exception of nidoqueen, you seem to have a large lucario weakness; the very lucario build you have can ohko your entire team after a swords dance. this could be somewhat remedied by turning either suicune or swampert into a phazer, thus preventing lucario from getting the necessary...

sonsaku hakufu must lead us to victory ;_; stylistically, gyara HAS to lead, but zong really does make a lot more sense strategy-wise. probably if i had to use this team again, i'd make that change first. to address swampert: hp grass on heatran is a super plus and i'd be willing to implement...

thanks so much for the rate gorm :) i actually did try reflect and light screen on a few occasions in place of bronzong's eq. earthquake encourages the opponent to go on the offensive, as opposed to screens which often prompt stalling until the screens go down; this is why i ultimately chose...

Team Ikkitousen - D/P Metagame The ideas behind this team were first drafted in the earliest days of D/P, when Motor Drive was supposed to be THE most awesome ability ever and Electivire was a pretty common sight. Ikkitousen was originally a GyaraVire based team, with GrowthTran, Lucario, and...

i'm so ready for more espeon in my life, signal beam will make it so much more viable. psychic/signal beam/shadow ball/bp seems like it could work for a specs set, and if we really wanted we could do four attacks (hp ??? because fighting might be redundant?) more jolteon helps too, i love...

curse certainly makes this thing more viable but not by much. as much as i like the notion of simple making it easier to grab boosts, i still have my main problems: 1) mamoswine has had this sort of option available except with slightly better moves. ground+ice stab, (possible) 120 bp...

Team Ichigo Mashimaro I find it very difficult to build a strong defensive team, and I'm also not a huge fan of stall play (experiencing restalk Bronzong vs. Psychic/Ice Beam restalk Cresselia ruined me for that game). You might find it easy to imagine my dismay at the predominantly...

gengar, garchomp, weavile, gyarados, deoxys-s, yanmega, and suicune are a few threats that i notice can run straight through your team. running some variant of bronzong over cradily would be a nice defense against all of those but suicune and gyarados; standard bronzong would work nicely, as it...

i'm a fan of the absorbing abilities, particularly flash fire and volt absorb. free immunity to a type that would normally only be a 2x resist, plus immunity to common status moves (will-o-wisp and thunder wave) are really useful to turn "forced" switches into your advantage. their effects...
