Sceptile-Mega @ Sceptilite Ability: Lightning Rod EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Leaf Storm - Giga Drain - Focus Blast - Dragon Pulse When making this team, I wanted to start with a relatively underused mega, Sceptile. Although Sceptile may lack the raw offensive...

I personally find your post not only unhelpful, but also rude and unnecessary agressive. Many people seem to forget that the teirs are based on USAGE, not purely on strength. To suggest that no pokemon from below OU have a place in today's metagame is absurd. It also goes against the spirit of...

Thanks for the suggestion! I agree, that is a very effective combination; however changing my mega completely alters the synergy of the team. In addition, this change goes against the idea of utilizing underused Pokemon, as this is an extremely common combination. That aside, I'll be sure to...

When looking over the OU metagame, one thing stood out to me, how little creative liberty many people take when creating teams. It gets very boring to face perfectly balanced teams stuffed to the brim with all the most imposing threats. So I tried to make a team using some uncommon Pokemon that...

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely implement your suggestions, but I have a couple questions. I gather from the EV's you suggested that investment in HP is more important on a whole than investment in defenses, does that have something to do with the way damage is calculated or is just...

After getting back into Pokemon, having left before the advent of megas, I decided to try out each different mega, particularly the less commonly used ones and make them viable in higher tiers. Mega Banette was a prime candidate for this treatment, as despite many positive qualities he is very...

Thanks for the advice! I'm unsure about a few things however, I like the idea of giving heracross a sheild against status, but if heracross loses bullet seed I lose my only real way to take down bulky waters. Any ideas on how to circumvent this weakness? Also, I don't quite understand the...

I've gotten back into pokemon after a while, and I've been going around trying out all the new megas. One I noticed hasn't been getting too much use is mega heracross. I decided that I would come up with a team based on it, as I've seen it has some real potential. Heracross-Mega @ Heracronite...

Thanks for the advice! I've been messing around a bit and hippowdon in particular has been a huge help for my team. Just one question, what are advantages of running mixed kyurem-b? I've honestly preferred using a fully physical set with a life orb and: iron head, dragon claw, bolt strike and...

I'm fairly inexperienced with team building, but the team I've come up with seems to be working well insofar. I'm just looking for some critique from someone more experienced than I am to give my team a bit more competitive edge. Kyurem-Black @ Choice Band Ability: Teravolt EVs: 248 HP / 252...
