Kudos to you sandshrewz for all your work! I won't forget how you aroused my interest in GP, although I haven't found time to contribute yet... We'll miss your presence greatly!

Great...unfortunately, I'm not getting much time to log onto Smogon these days... Working on anything lately?

Hello Absolete? How's chess going? Are you back to TR?

What happened to Trick Room Experts with the forum change?! Did we lose it?

Sandshrewz...one question. Where have all the groups gone?

I rated your Trick Room team, but didn't realise that it was an old thread and the rate got deleted. :/ You can PM me if you'd like the rate anyways, provided you still use it. Thanks for taking interest in my thread.

BUMP for comments

Glad you like the theme! Actually, having 3 Psychic types on the same team isn't really much of an issue with me. Bronzong doesn't have any of Psychic's weaknesses, so that really narrows it down to Slowking and Reuniclus. IMO, they can take an attack even from Max Atk Tyranitar, one of the...

Thanks for the rate Superpowerdude! The concerns you have brought up have been brought up in the past, so let me clarify this once and for all. I practically never bring Salamence out till the endgame, so I effectively send it out only once. As such, Salamence takes damage from Stealth Rock only...

I'm glad you liked the theme and thanks for the Luv:)! This was food for thought indeed, but in the end I've decided to make the change to Earthquake. The loss of Facade does make me lose out on some powerful neutral coverage, but Jirachi has been problematic in the past and I very rarely...

Thanks for the positive input! I've already made the switch to Hammer Arm, but I'm now running max HP for two reasons. Firstly, Conkeldurr doesn't take special attacks much better ever with max investment in SpD, by my calcs. Secondly, if you've been following this RMT, you'll notice I switched...

Thanks for bringing this to light Chimpakt. This post prompted me to run a few damage calcs, and I found that Conkeldurr almost always loses against 252 HP/252 SpA Politoed using Drain Punch. Hence, I've decided to make the switch to the above set, albeit with a change in EVs. I found that...

Appreciate your critique Yeezy. Now, on to your questions... Ferrothorn is undoubtedly a fine Pokemon, but remember that I'm using Bronzong as a Pokemon to set up Trick Room. Having at least 3 Pokemon to set up Trick Room is a must, and I would be unwilling to sacrifice a Pokemon which can...

Thanks a bunch for rating my team! IMO, you've already made a major contribution to this team in the form of Slowking's moveset, which I borrowed from your Slowbro in Celestial Beings. It's been a significant player on my team, and I think that is in part because of your ingenuity. Personally...
