So, been running the changes. Hippo I'm mixed on. The bulk is awesome, but having the lack of a rock move to deal with birds feels...arggh. The w-o-w has been useful, though not for M-Metagross, since I haven't had it switch into her yet. Now if only my luck weren't crap... I added BP... I...

Hello, this is TCG Trainer Ethan here and I'm here to tell another one of my stories today. Not about knights and princess, but something with more of a Middle Eastern flair. I'm here to tell you a story about a beautiful Maiden, her Oasis, and the treacherous Desert that surrounds her, a story...

Thanks for the like! and nice Avatar!

Hello, I'm TCG Trainer Ethan, also known as The Critic. I've hopped around PO and PS since the Weather Wars of D/P( Sand all the way, baby!) and while I don't come here consistently, the simulators have always been a way for me to chill out...even if I suck. Today, I come to you here as a bard...

Ok. I'm a bit worried about not using it, but I guess the weight of Venusaur screws it with low kick. And I guess I do have to learn my sets, huh. Well, thanks for the help. Hopefully this will get me out of my slump.

Well, here's a replay, though not a great one, considering I've hit a slump: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-259786555 EDIT: here's a better one- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-259789536 And one more: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-259793576

Actually, I've changed it to a Hippowdon. It's been doing solid. Though...having a Fire type would be nice. Maybe. Edit: yea, I was destroyed by an M-Venusaur after Arthur went down. I'm gonna take the Infernape.

So the Scarf Nidoking kinda works...not grand but it works. And Gwen does get a nice boost with the CM set. The Garchomp, though... seems it's being predicted too easily. Or maybe I'm using it wrong as a lead, I don't know.

Huh... Lots of change-ups... I'll go with the Jirachi swap, since it fits the type. I do like the unaware Clefable, mostly because it screws over boosters. Any alternate pokemon with Unaware that might work( or at least a good cleric to replace her?) I do like the keeping of dragalge, though, I...

I'm not much of a fan of the Choice Items, considering they lock you into a move, but I'll try out the sets. At least it gives me a counter to the M-Gross. I'll take anymore tips if you give any.

Hello, I'm TCG Trainer Ethan, also known as TheCritic on Pokemon Showdown. I've recently gotten back into the game of PO and PS, and while this team is the best I've had( this is the first time I've ever reached 1400), not to mention the solid run on Pokemon Online( at least for me, it was...

Thanks. I took iMack's tips and they've been working pretty well( even with my rusty skills). Might Try the Mega Manectric, though. Thanks for the tips!

Eh... I never was a fan of Rotom-wash(was on the receiving end of many a thrashing by it on old teams...)but it does keep Gallade in the picture and does make one less fighting-type to worry about. ( and still kinda fits Lancelot as well, pokemon wise, due to Rotom's suspicious nature.) Testing...

Kinda sad that Mega Gallade is outclassed. Might drop it in another team, then. Yea, you hit the nail on the head with Mega Altaria and Talonflame. And there's my Rock move. I'll give this a few test runs then.

Hello, I'm TCG Trainer Ethan and I've been playing on and off for the last couple of years. It's been a while since I've played OU and I couldn't find my teams, so I made a new one. The theme actually came about after I made the pokemon; seems like the perfect way to frame the team, both in...
