If it is, then they should just go with Dragon Claw. That's what I use on mine right now, lol.

Has anyone had success using Grass Knot? (or Solarbeam, I guess. I'll agree with BurningMan that Solarbeam is just unreliable.) I ran Grass knot in 4th gen and basically only used it on Swampert. Swampert isn't as popular now, but you've got him AND the newly popular Gastrodon. Is that what...

Though it's basically the first set listed with a few modifications, this is something I'd recommend should go on site. People are seeking movesets that are built with using Moxie in mind, and that's what this is. [SET] name: DD MoxieMence move 1: Dragon Dance move 2: Outrage / Dragon Claw move...

That makes a lot of sense. I'll have to make those changes and see how they do compared to the original. The thing that slightly worries me is that making those changes makes me lose 2 priority moves in Bullet Punch and Ice Shard. Priority has been pretty key for this team. But I'll see how...

I'll say Garchomp, and here's some reasoning. Both positive and negative! First, I don't see him being a prominent setup sweeper that takes entire teams down. The most commonly seen Garchomps will probably be the scarfed versions. Revenge killers. Dang good revenge killers and harder to take...

Nice research/calcs! Yeah, NP Infernape is practically unstoppable if it sets up. Infernape just tends to be too frail to pull it off a lot of the time. If you're planning on using NP Infernape, I'd highly recommend having dual screens on your team. That or something else great to assist in...

I'd also suggest switching the Starmie for something else. With Cofagrigus and Starmie, that's 2 pokemon that are weak to pursuit. (though I'm not sure how willing some pursuers are to hit the mummy) Yeah, a CB pursuit from something like Scizor or Weavile locks them into that move, but you...

The concept looks pretty good. I'm no expert on stall, so I'll leave it up to those with that experience to suggest improvements there. You mentioned rain teams, and I can see that being an issue, too. Especially if it's a rain team that also uses entry hazards, and features Skarmory. He won't...

Infernape would probably punch some pretty big holes in this team, especially if it's the mixed version. Overheat or Fire Blast is no fun for Tangrowth, Metagross, or Gengar. Then it's got CC for Heatran and Snorlax. I'd also watch out for Landorus, he could benefit from your sandstorm (though...

Nothing really sticks out at me in terms of defensive weaknesses. This team seems pretty solid. The one thing I do notice, though, is lack of priority. You've got a lot of status that can potentially stop setup sweepers, which is great. Still, what about those times where you just need to...

I'll echo what's already been said about Heatran. I run a sun team with a similar setup. (also has an active thread in this forum, check it out!!) Heatran and Blissey/Chansey are Venusaur's main walls. Speaking of which... Yeah I'd look out for Blissey/Chansey. The only guys on your team that...

Set-Up Sweeper: Needs no explanation. Of the DDers, he's always been the bulky one, and now with Multiscale he's even bulkier. Non Set-Up Attacker: and Terrakion is just great with his speed and coverage. Especially if he's banded. There's few to no safe switch ins. Infernape is great for...

Bump!

I've tried multiple movesets too, and yes there's a few that stick out to be the most effective. Like the above poster, I've had a lot of success with the MixApe that is Life Orb... Overheat/Close Combat/U-turn/Mach Punch. I used to run Thunderpunch on that same set over U-turn, but it's only...

Introduction This is my sun team, which I use pretty successfully competitively. I've only played competitive since late gen 4, about the time the Salamence ban was still being discussed. This is also my first RMT. Team at a Glance Overview I've always liked chlorophyll pokes, so I was...
