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.
A really gimmicky yet fun set I've been playing around with:
Hydreigon @ Scope Lens
Ability: Sniper
Move 1: Focus Energy
Move 2: Draco Meteor
Move 3: Fire Blast
Move 4: Flash Cannon
Nature: Modest
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Obviously the premise of this set is to set up a focus energy then...
Ignoring my first point about auto-wins, that's been argued enough, the main thing I was trying to stress is the strain it puts on team building, particularly to those teams weak or neutral to water. I feel that this is the more important point, as if one particular strategy is causing people...
Surely if talonflame got banned because it was almost an autowin vs certain types of teams, the same logic should be applied here.

252+ SpA Sniper Kingdra Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 148+ SpD Eviolite Ferroseed on a critical hit: 123-145 (42.1 - 49.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
But anyway, Kingdra is far too versatile for it's own...
Seen people talking about pikachu, but not many sets yet, this is what I use:
Pikachu @ Light Ball
Move 1: Volt Tackle
Move 2: Brick Break
Move 3: Grass Knot
Move 4: Volt Switch
EV's: 228 Atk / 28 SpA / 252 Spe
Ability: Lightningrod
Nature: Hasty/Naive
Volt Tackle is the nuke of the set...
Hi I'm new here, but I was wondering whether it's worth mentioning that if ditto tries to copy a Giratina-O it will transform into it's altered forme instead?
