I used the name Grazie for this.

Definitely viable, definitely a challenge. I've made it 200 some pretty easily on the PO server with a weatherless team as well, but I must say, U-turn is essential to my victory against weather teams. In this metagame, you simply cannot afford to mispredict (many would agree) and get locked in...

I actually find Rain to be the easiest weather to deal with when using a weatherless team due to the ban of Drizzle and Swift Swim. A team with multiple Chlorophyll abusers (though somewhat uncommon) is much more threatening, IMO. I am prone to using HO teams, to offer some perspective, and...

Techniloom wrecks the meta. And if one is fortunate enough to get 5 hits with Bullet Seed, say goodbye to a reliable counter (e.g. Tornadus-T). Often times I'll get Breloom in on a safe switch just to abuse spore and switch out (switch-ins are extremely predictable). It is best used to...

Definitely not as effective as it used to be. Genesect makes it impossible to lead with this thing. Especially those with Attack investment or Banded variants. Rock Polish sets are potentially even more annoying. Genesect is easy enough to work around, but it makes it much more difficult for...

This... Thing. It rarely even needs HP Ice due to the sheer power and great offensive typing of its powerful STAB Hurricane combined with Superpower/FB (Gliscor is already OHKOed by Hurricane after rocks, Thudurus-T is Scarfed a majority of the time, and only bulky Dragonite can take a...

Gliscor and Breloom. The former for fairly obvious reasons (Protect+Toxic+Speed creep OR Acrobatics), and the latter because of Spore + FP + Poison Heal. Gengar is also extremely annoying when people run random things like Thunderbolt, HP Fire, etc. Gyarados is also a pain because of its...

Cool team. I love HO. Question: Do you ever have problems with opposing Infernape? Mixnape/CB Infernape can wreck your entire team, and nothing can switch into it that reliably. Latios get OHKOed by CB Infernape's U-turn (Mixnape does around 70%), and nothing can reliably revenge it aside...

^^ A few suggestions. Run a Naive nature on Tornadus and Superpower over Focus Blast. It does more to Chansey and Blissey and destroys Tyranitar without a Chople Berry (plus, 100% accuracy). Also, about Genesect, replace Bug Buzz with HP Ground. It OHKOes scarfed Heatran easily and I...

I agree that you need to get rid of Rain Dance. While this may seem like a clever counter to opposing weather starters, this is, sadly, not a viable option, as opposing weather starters can often outspeed you or outlast you with Toxic. Basically, Politoed's main role should be to set the rest of...

This team seems to have, on paper, a significant weakness to Thundurus-T--particularly Agility and Nasty Plot Variants. After a Nasty Plot, I'm fairly certain Thundurus can sweep your entire team. Thunder OHKOes everything bar perhaps Jirachi, who is running a Defensive spread rather than the...

Cool team. You say you have problems with VoltTurn. Have you considered using Amoonguss over Blissey? Amoonguss forms a marvelous F/W/G defensive core along with Heatran and Jellicent, is a good matchup against both Rotom-Wash and Scizor, and can put either to sleep with spore, which wrecks...

Hello. You need to add a few lines of description for each member of your team. It would be for the best. For example, I don't know why you're running Dugtrio. I would suggest you replace it with Dragonite (Banded/Dragon Dance) and replace Aqua Tail with Stealth Rock on Aerodactyl. I'm unsure...

I firmly agree with Jimbon's suggestion of using Specs Jolteon. Due to his already crack speed, he makes an excellent Specs user. Jolteon also has something going for him over Thunderus-T in its higher base speed stat, which allows it to outspeed an OHKO Thunderus after Stealth Rock and K.O...

Heya, cool team. ^^, I tend to somewhat agree with Dr. Ciel's recommendations for Celebi. The set is somewhat gimmicky, and is just begging to be Scizor/T-Tar/U-turn bait, and in many cases you won't be able to use stat-boosting moves multiple times in a row, even with the EV spread. I honestly...
