Yeah, he/she did, but it's a decent set which deserves some answers before being potentially locked. Belly_______ teams have always been interesting themes to run, and some have even been semi-competitive. Sure, the Belly____ setup is golden, usually using pokes such as Linoone, Poliwrath, and...

Well, the loss of a lead right off the bat is a pretty steep price, no doubt about that, and personally, I think that unless you've got some stable game plan, it usually isn't worth it. There could be two scenarios where it could work, I guess... 1. Your explosion is warranted to almost...

I recall someone saying that the best spinners take neutral damage at best vs SR. Just wondering, does Donphan (and I guess, to a lesser extent, Claydol) count as a decent spinner? I could see a rise in Bellyzard usage *smiles at a monoflying MementoLuff team, forced to use Delibird* and the...

Stand down Testarossa, any idiot can get 20/20s. Now being both FETO's classiest duelist as well as it's most hated one...that's a feat not many can own up to! Sorry, but I get pretty annoyed when anyone begins that "I'm superior" rant. So, how goes everything, the new changes, the current...

Congrats Vineon. Now just try to get as hated as I am, and then I'll say you have some skills...^^ FETO2 approved; looks good. Yeah, most everyone multitasks, so that's good news.

Heh, I guess I'm getting beat down with the "me against the world" mentality...exams were interesting, but they're over now (at least for me). Also, looks like FETO's becoming waay too political. Or maybe that's just me again.

...That wasn't really how I meant it...It's more like your smogon dueling technique/mentalities, such as offensive, speedy, defensive, etc... Such as noting the comparisons between -A laughable, yet annoying one-shot pure offense MementoZard team, its captain being the Gardevoir Lamia... -A...

...Oh? And which mage king were you...? Yeah, complete agreement on the "warder" classes. It seemed like everyone barring them (and armour mages) could somewhat go against the triangle. For instance, Merc vs Templar: can anyone say double-slayer? Mage vs meleers? Tauntdance, play the trap...

Kira's right. It's not clean, but I'd like to keep Dusknoir and Snorlax as they are, since they are my identity pokes, and I've gone from 1-5/6 to eking a 1-0 victory many, many times. Dusknoir and Snorlax also play roles beyond that desperado finish, which is an improvement from my previous...

Alright, Sylver reporting, again... if you saw my previous teams, they were pretty fun, especially the numerous SRW references and a disturbing rise in the usage of exploding puffballs... Back to the point. Here, I'll try to incorporate the usual Sylver gimmicks with a bit more stability. My...

... ..... ........!!! Alright. I don't have time to wail away on this topic; there should be a necro-whateveric thread that I set up that discussed the move memento, and I have no idea what I have done, since now everyone seems to be running suicidal puffballs nowadays... My original...

Anything with Memento, namely Dusknoir or Jumpluff. For some reason, the oncoming Umbreon or Charizard becomes a little...less...sucky...

Right, I've been getting some complaints of using a WTF Flash BP Togekiss. I know that evasion moves are frowned upon, but I was under the impression that accuracy-lesseners are allowed since they're treated like worthless, easily-switchable (kinda) moves...Are these allowed, and if they are...

Right, this has worked a few times...it's basically a cross between the Umbreon/Dusknoir combo, the Pesknoir combo, and the Memento WTF movement... Dusknoir @ Lum Berry Relaxed, 252 HP, 156 Def, 100 SpDef -Trick Room -Taunt -Will-o-Wisp -Memento Umbreon@ Leftovers Relaxed, 252 HP, 252 Def, 4...

It honestly depends. The use of surprise is by its nature a gamble, since things are standard for tried and true reasons, and if a surprise proves to be as or more effective as the standard, as the example of Boah or Chain, it becomes a standard. It's the striking the balance between risk and...
