re: serene grace, togekiss isn't messing up (and never would mess up) the metagame by having access to serene grace, so it would be a bit of a bummer to knock it down a peg for jirachi's offenses. jirachi doesn't have any other abilities anyway, so the only difference between banning the pokemon...

having a lot of fun with this version of the team! stallbreaker gliscor in particular is such a beast. thanks y'all for helping me with finding a compromise between wanting to ladder but not wanting to just use someone else's team wholesale to do it lol

hehe i'm flattered you were inspired to make the team your own :) will for sure try out this variant. you say you tweaked the SpA evs on uxie but the ones on the pokepaste seem to be the same as before, consulting the damage calcs it looks like we'd settle on something like 252 HP / 132 Def /...

Hi :) So I'm getting back into competitive after a long while away, and this is the team I've come up with for laddering in DPP OU. I'm having fun with it, but I seem to be plateauing around the low 1300s. Partially that's due to my rustiness as a player and lack of familiarity with the current...

Thanks for the suggestions, m00ns. I am actually replacing Scizor with Raikou to cover up the huge Manaphy weakness. I will be experimenting with Altaria's EVs. I'll try out Magma Trap Heatran; seems like an interesting idea. Thanks again!

I'll try out your suggestions, Style! The only problem I see is that this version still has the huge manaphy weakness that Ryfi110 mentioned.

Thanks, I'll try out Raikou.

This is a good suggestion! I'm having trouble implementing Raikou into the team, though. Do you think I could replace Heatran with Magnezone, who has the Electric STAB while still handling Steel and Fairy types?

Mega-Altaria Team So I had always wanted to make a team based around Mega-Altaria, and given how strong it is in the current metagame, what better time to make one? The team's goal is to eliminate Mega-Alt's counters so it can sweep with Dragon Dance (original, I know). I'm pretty happy with...

My username will make me seem biased, but w/e. It makes no sense to say that Weavile teams are unlikely to have good answers to Azumarill and Keldeo. Teams based around Weavile are more likely to have answers to these things; that's how one builds a team. You run counters to counters. You...

Thanks for replying! I will try out your suggestions, they look like they would help. You're right, a tank set would be better for mega-venu. Thank you for your help.

Hi, thank you for replying! I have tested your suggestions on showdown, and I have found a major issue: the team becomes really weak to bulky waters, especially rotom-w. nothing on the team can safely switch in. Another bulky water that gives the team trouble is Quagsire. These pokemon hard...

Hi, this is a team I recently built that's been having decent success. Any suggestions are welcome! Also, it should be noted that while I posted this with an XY OU tag, this team can also be used in the ORAS OU metagame. The Team: Teambuilding Process: As you can probably tell...
