Rhyperior beats both king and queen 1v1 every time. Also Blastoise.

Yeah Rhyperior's not a hard counter but if I predict correctly I can switch in when he's locked on thunderbolt or volt turn, and yes Mienshao can come in for revenges. Something that was suggested way above with replacing noivern with magnezone is going to be put into effect now. I said before...

Cool team, don't see any glaring typing holes but I have a feeling you'd do badly against fast volt switch teams, and you don't have a revenge killer so I'm going to suggest replacing rotom with a more threatening scarfer, since I doubt you need the trick with all those utility moves capable of...

That's not really the point of mienshao on this team. Your suggestion gives him an entirely different role that's different from what I want him to do. Please don't give suggestions like this that change the team unnecessarily and messes up the synergy while not having a particular purpose.

Yeah my bad on speed EVs. I'm not going to run aura sphere just because it's standard, I need toxic as a failsafe for any walls toxicroak can't deal with or if he dies. My win condition is mienshao HJKing everything. I don't find a need to mess up my team synergy when I don't have any problems...

This is interesting because the rhyperior switch was actually the exact change I was thinking of making. Previously when I didn't have Toxicroak on the team I had used those two pokemon, and threw Aggron on there mainly to deal with fairies. Now that I have Toxicroak I'm going to implement that...

EDITS IN ITALICS Now version 1.2, wow! Greetings Smogon, it's time for a UU RMT! Aren't you excited? Well you should be because here comes a team that's different from all those stall teams in the tier, Mienshao kicks the meta in the face and asserts its dominance. Welcome to the dawn of a new...

I think I'm going to try implementing the changes Explorer has suggested, except replacing Earthquake with HP Ice. I'll get back to you guys on how they work.

Uh, Naive gives speed. I'm implementing the changes you've recommended, thanks.

Hello Smogon RMT. I really enjoy the UU tier, I think it allows for some pokemon who don't usually get to shine show how amazing they can actually be. As you've probably already guessed from the title, I'm mostly talking about Archeops. Yep, it's time for flying gem Archeops. Once upon a time I...

I've tried all the suggestions posted so far and I have to say I actually don't like any of them. Turns out I can switch Flygon into a lot more things than Garchomp because of U-turn. This basically makes Garchomp useless until way late into the match. T-tar lead was not a good idea, it turns...

Thanks man, I'd like to keep Terrakion as a wallbreaker with swords dance, so do you think it would work if I just lead with T-tar? Also, does anyone else have any opinions on the team?

Thanks for the advice scotti, the main reason I'm concerned with that switch is that I use Flygon as a lead. Do you have any suggestions as to which pokemon to lead with instead?

Hello smogon. I've been following the OU metagame and used my experiences to build this team. The concept is simple: No spinner, only magic bounce Espeon. Now I've tried this particular strategy before, but every team I've used it on previously encountered problems with aggressive stealth rock...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will probably switch that nature on archeops over, but i'm hesitant about giving it u-turn as there are really not a lot of opportunities to switch him back in. The point with gliscor here is to take hits as he sets up, and so if some poke trys to DD and get a...
