Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I'm stealing your Kyurem-Black and your Tyranitar tyvm.
Also do you ever have issues with Solar Beam heatran? Weather is probably too nerfed for that to be an issue, but still thought I'd ask.
I just realized the Garchomp I've been running in OU ranked on Pokemon Showdown has Sand Veil.
Is this a bug in Pokemon Showdown, does evasion clause allow Sand Veil but remove the evasion from it, or is this page wrong when it says Sand Veil is banned in OU?
I wouldn't consider Amoonguss a volt turn counter, because of the reasons you mention concerning Scizor.
Defensive Salamence makes me wince. I'm not comfortable with the idea of it, but I will admit you make a point.
Zapdos is only the only perfectly hard volt turn counter in my opinion, and I...
Your omissions influence things a lot.
Executive decisions like this is how you end up listing SlowBro as a dragonite counter, when the reality out there is that it usually isn't.
CB outrage does 56.3% - 66.5% to slowbro, and dragonite also outspeeds it.
Meanwhile if multiscale is up, slowbro...
I've found mixed mence to be good against defensive teams. It means that they can't afford to sacrifice a pokemon to avoid putting switch ins into KO range.
Here's the set I use:
Salamence (M) @ Dragon Gem
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Dragon Dance
-...
What rating could I get to on smogon with a good team, but no skill?
Right now I have a dumb team:
(CB Dragonite, DD Salamence, CB Scizor, CS pilotoad, breloom, tentacruel)
I also have no skill, and I am 1100.
By giving it a calm nature it can be made strictly better.
336 special defense and 182 defense
If it was calm you only need to put 120 special defense EVs into special defense to have the same special defense as the version given.
Then you can put 120 EVs into defense which gives it 196...
There's an error in the http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/tentacruel entry.
The item given is leftovers when it should be black sludge.
The nature given is bold when it should be calm.
How can I report this and get it fixed?
To clarify I'm saying that I'd like to see a collapsible box like this (expect more compact ideally) on each individual pokemon's strategic pokedex entry:
I always find myself going to bulbapedia to look at what elements a pokemon is weak to. I guess people better than me have the type information memorized and can figure out the pokemon's weaknesses from looking at the types, but I'm kind of noob and I can't remember whether dragon resists grass...
