This looks like a solid rain team. However, there are a few adjustments that can be made. Firstly, I would run Wide Guard over Shadow Sneak on Aegislash. This helps to deal with Choice Specs Sylveon and M-Gardevoir, massive threats to both Salamence and Terrakion, in fact your whole team in...

Do you mind if I copy that sentence everytime someone recommends Fire Blast on a Garchomp, that was perfect! But seriously though, I get comments all the time saying it is good. Ahem. Anyways, I'm glad you have decided to run Garchomp over Dragonite. I think it really will benefit your team...

The thing is you have a lot of bulky pokemon. Goodra, Rotom-W and sometimes even Kangaskhan can take a lot of hits from things that would significantly damage even aha bulky Garchomp. If you want to use a Garchomp VGC set from smogon that's bulky go ahead. I'm just saying that I think your team...

At first glance your team is pretty weak to rock. This means half of your team is weak to rock slide, one of the most common moves in VGC. You also have no pokemon who resist the type either, and this is a really big problem. So what I'm going to do is suggest a few pokemon who will perform the...

Hey Hailshine! Thanks for the rate! I will certainly try the mega abomasnow idea. I mean how do you know if something is bad if you haven't tried it? I don't know why I wrote calm nature in the team review above because I run a sassy nature Amoonguss in VGC. Thanks for alerting me of the typo...

Bump...

I'm typing on an iPad. It doesn't like to be grammatically correct. Also I would run Infiltrator over Flash Fire. Being able to pass through sub whimsicott is always pretty nice. Good luck!

I'd keep thunder on galvantula. With Compoundeyes, Thunder's accuracy becomes 97.5, making it almost the same accuracy as thunderbolt. Galvantula isn't the strongest of pokemon so it needs all the power it can get. I will rate fully soon. I've been busy so I haven't been able to come on smogon...

Hello there! I have found a few issues with your team so I'm going to point them out. Feel free to do whatever you want with the information. 1. Your team has a bit of a weakness when it comes to fairies (e.g. Gardevoir and Azumarill - Gardevoir can kill Charizard with thunderbolt and Azumarill...

Hello there! Great team from the looks of things! A few things that need improvement but that's ok. Let's get to it! 1. If using a trick room team, put natures on your pokemon that lower their speed (e.g. Brave > adamant on Gallade). This will allow your pokemon to outspeed others inside of...

Hello all! A while back I posted a team based around Carbink for VGC. Since then I have participated in both the May and June Internationals, doing pretty well in both. Carbink is one of the best trick room setters in the game, mainly because people underestimate it. Because of this, it can set...

I agree with running a mixed set on diancie. It has a 100 base stat in sp. Atk and also Atk so it's not like a scizor running flash cannon. Since it has such a bad speed stat I would suggest running this set: Diancie @ Leftovers Quiet nature - Clear Body EVs: 252 HP/ 252 sp. Atk/ 4 Atk -...

Ok thanks! I agree with the black glasses. I wish I could transfer a good IVd Bisharp from My previous games...

Antemortem I type special defence as sp. def. I have 252 speed IVs on my Bisharp to outspeed others. Should I still change them. The speed seems to be working pretty well

Thanks so much for the advice. The reason I have odd natures on Suicune and Thundurus is that I use this team on a cartridge and I couldn't catch a better natured one. If I had the choice then obviously I would use modest over mild on Thundurus and not a defence lowering one. This also is the...
