My current set: Malamar @ Leftovers / Assault Vest Trick Room Superpower Night Slash Rock Slide Nature: -Speed/+Atk (Brave) EVs are specially bulky, HP, and some attack. Unfortunately Pokemon showdown is down right now so I don't have the exact numbers handy, but your defense is outstanding...

Looking for some advice on my currently quite enjoyable team. Jolteon (F) @ Choice Specs Ability: Volt Absorb EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP Timid Nature - Volt Switch - Shadow Ball - Hidden Power [Ice] - Sleep Talk Specs Jolteon replaced Bronzong because I was missing a fast special attacker...

I've been playing this guy using a max SPA set with Volt Switch, Dragon Pulse and Thunder Wave. Maybe I am just not familiar enough with the counters in the new generation or maybe the simulator's mega stats aren't correct, but it feels like mega Amphy doesn't tank hits effectively and generally...

Why not simply run LO Starmie over Suicune? Her natural middling bulk really shines with recover and dual screens and nothing can set up through her. Surf and BoltBeam and Recover. If you get Kingdra issues then run Psychic over Recover. Calm Mind my butt haha, Starmie is your homie, but if...

This team fears Infernape as Gengar is your only check, and being choiced, it gets mauled by. Sub/Split Gengar is a threat to Skarm/Bliss and barring a miss from Focus Blast, will almost always take down a mon. If it keeps a sub up then you're in trouble. If your Gengar gets taken down...

check the zapados analysis for legal HP grass IVs

If you're walled by skarmbliss, just use taunt on gyara.

Starmie is thrifty in the late game, but my thoughts are that its outclassed on this team by LO Jolt. TBolt/HP Ice/Shadow Ball/Sub or Baton Pass, Timid and max speed and sp attack of course. Its a very similar moveset to the one. you run, but sweeps through most late game threats, and absorbs...

There's a picture add icon. Anyway this is a team I love to play against because a lot of your pokes have common weaks and are predictable. But the issue I have with it is that you keep changing it. its changed a couple of times in the past hour which leads me to believe that you haven't...

Specs Gengar is more of an attacker than a revenger. Gengars problem is his incredible frailty. He has issues with being outsped by scarfers, and of course being revenged easily by pursuiters. For this reason I recommend doing one of two things: altering his set or switching to Specs Jolteon...

Flash Fire Arcanine w/ Howl/Extremespeed/Flare Blitz/ (Thunder Fang / HP Grass / HP Ground) could alleviate your fire weak and replace tyranitar. Tyranitars problem is that most things that he commonly counters/sets up on can actually beat him via things like Hydro Pump and Focus Blast. He...

Your heaty is thrifty but lava plume isn't really doing a huge amount for your team besides thwarting gyarados. You might consider a specially bulky pokemon that runs thunder wave (or body slam Jirachi) as a replacement, though he has an issue with fire attacks as well as Skarm. RestTalk...

Taunt leads are going to be an issue right off the bat, as both aerodactyl and azelf get SR for free and prevent you from screening. Additionally, there are quite a few pokes that set up in the face of your screeners like Metagross, Lucario, Scizor, Gyara. Still, this team is fairly resiliant...

A combination of Gliscor and Rotom give your team serious problems. Ground types like Swampert and Flygon, as well as their electric-immune counterparts jolteon, Electivire, and Lanturn also do a number on this team, setting up for free on Thunder Wave. I don't agree with DD Gyara as your...

LO Jolt is fine but a third thunderbolt and 2 volt absorbs is a bit redundant, mirite? Aerodactyl offers similar coverage and speed with EQ/Rockslide, and can run roost and taunt to break stall, but has more trouble switching in and doesn't function well without sandstorm in play. A...
