Smogon Premier League is here and the team collection is now available. Support your team!
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.
Thanks for the new list, X-Act. I don't think many were shocked at Donophan's leaving OU, but I was somewhat suprised about Dugtrio. He'll do wonderfully well in UU, though.
Like Umbreon Dan, I'm rather worried about the abundance of Choice pokemon on your team...In addition to Gyrados and possibly Tyranitar, I see Mamoswine as a large threat to this team...Electivire and Infernape seem to be serving the same purpose on the team, so It would be best to replace one...
The battle itself was mediocre, but it was easy to read, and I like how you promoted the NU tier. I've never read an NU warstory, but reading this has made me think more about making an NU team. It was good for a first warstory, though.
This is an interesting team. I love that you used Charizard, I always felt that he should be used more. However, like MXIAA said, your team is very weak to Stealth Rock. Both Yanmega and Charizard get 50 percent of their hit points shaved off every time they switch in. Not pretty. Therefore...
Good team. Seeing as Swampert can wall many physical attacks, especially as a RestTalker, I would make Spiritomb specially oriented. Rather than having 2 RestTalkers on your team, I would use a Calm Mind set, with Shadow Ball and Hp Fighting. Will-o-Wisp is an excellent option on a specially...
I'm going to nominate Porygon2.
Though Porygon2 is not as common as the other nominees, it can counter some of the most problematic Pokemon in the metagame, namely the dreaded Crobat/Shaymin combo.
Offensive Characteristic:
Sporting a respectable 105 base special attack, it ties Mismagius and...
Azelf on a Trick Room team? Slowbro or Slowking can set it up, and can also take fire, water, and ground moves, which can damage much of this team. I would suggest Porygon2 over Azelf, but this team already has two members with a fighting weakness. I believe that Uxie is a better option than...
I like this team a lot. I would run Pain Split over HP Fighting on Spiritomb, like latois6393 suggested. Stone Edge or Facade over Seed Bomb on Breloom. Vaporeon would be great over Starmie. Wish support is great for any team, and it can take Fire and Ground moves aimed at Jirachi, and Ice...
I'd suggest Stone Edge on your Machamp's moveset, but over Bullet Punch rather than Ice/Thunderpunch. If you can't find a place for it on Machamp, then put it on Metagross. It will really help you with Zapdos, which I can see as being a threat to much of this team. Very solid team, though I feel...
I agree, Rotom-H is a much better fit for this team. Spiritomb would also be a viable choice for that slot. If you keep Porygon2, use Spiritomb. They have great synergy. Kudos for using Porygon2! He's a beast. :)
I hope I helped!
I'm not surprised about the results, though I do miss Gallade. I'm sad that Porygon2 is used often anymore. It can counter a good portion of the metagame.
