What do you do against a Politoed Ludicolo lead? Here's how I see it: Turn one, Ludicolo fake out on to Cress, Protect with Heatran, next turn what's stopping Politoed and Ludicolo from double targeting and OHKOing Heatran?

Hey everyone! With Seattle Regionals happening this coming Sunday, I needed to get final info on my team. It's a Trick Room team (duh), but it's just fast enough to outspeed normal Trick Room teams by a bit. I built this team not wanting to always rely on Trick Room. Well, here we go! Cresselia...

I was looking around at odd moves and re-stumbled upon the Dry-Freeze. Super effective on water ice type move, 70 base power, nothing too special. Wait... YES IT IS! That move hits most of the biggest threats for 4x super effective damage! Garchomp, Mega Salamence, Ludicolo, Gyarados, Mega...

I agree with hotcold. Heatran would be a great mention to help against fairy weaknesses. Concerning Trick Room, a pokemon like Xatu or Cresselia would be excellent. The most common Trick Room mega is Mega Mawile, and for good reason. It gets that immediate intimidate off, and when it mega...

The main flaw I see is that most of your team is insanely slow. I was very surprised when I didn't see a TR setter on the roster. If you're gonna run this team, I think that Trick Room is a must somewhere in here. Can you also explain what other problems (besides speed) that you've been having...

In my continuing struggle to create a good team for the upcoming VGC '15 Spring Regionals, I decided to look at some of the more forgotten megas. First was Mega Ampharos, which didn't work too well. Then came Mega Abomasnow, which went over even worse. I finally came upon a Nugget Bridge post...

Update: Gardevoir wasn't holding up too well, so I replaced it with a Xatu. Here's the set: Xatu @ Focus Sash Ability: Magic Bounce EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Sassy Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Night Shade - Trick Room - Roost - Heat Wave Xatu is a nice trick room lead because of it's ability, magic...

Thanks for the feedback, never thought to use focus sash for some reason. I'll put descriptions in now

So I was looking through the new megas wanting to make a VGC 2015 team with one in it (assuming XY and ORAS is ok for VGC 2015), and I stumbled upon Mega Steelix. On first glance, it's almost exactly the same as Mega Aggron. But when you actually look a bit closer, you see what makes Mega...
