Anyone trying to battle? Lmk

I agree with deadflame on all accounts; being able to set up the sun in a Defensive Politoed's face as it uses Scald or switches in is very handy. Consider switching Substitute and Pain Split for Sunny Day and Solarbeam / Roar. Running Substitute and Pain Split is a good strategy for some...

Alright I decided to test out option one with decent results. I added a Shell Smash Carracosta to my team, and ended up replacing Substitute on Marowak with Fire Punch for the Grass Types that resist Bonemerang. Choiced Flying and Fighting types no longer really threaten my team, and I am still...

All of that is good advice. I'll try and test out bits and pieces to see what works: for now changing Ludicolo's nature, replacing Mantine with Misdreavus, and running Stealth Rock over Substitute on Marowak. If I find that I have problems keeping the Marowak or Pikachu sets (both of which I'm...

Half the reason I'm not running Specially Defensive Mantine is for Fighting types with Eviolite and Sawk (provided he doesn't lock himself into Stone Edge). Mantine is fully physically defensive and takes standard Gurdurr's moves with ease. The opponent could surprise me with Stone Edge...but...

Hell, half of the time Marowak doesn't need an attack boost. He rips through everything in the tier barring dedicated physical walls, and mind you I have Ludicolo waiting in the wings. Original sets ftw man, Ninjask is too easy to use and is really predictable.

Yeah, but Ninjask is predictable. People see Ninjask and Marowak on the same team and immediately know my strategy; not many people would see Lopunny and Marowak on the same team and immediately think Baton Passing Agility. The surprise factor is half of what makes it work.

Hey everyone, I decided to post an RMT for this NU team, which has been tested a little and works very well in theory. I have been unable to find all too many hard stops to it and would really appreciate it if anyone could point anything obvious out. I decided to make a team starring...

So I just had probably 10 battles and won all but a very stally weather war that ultimately came down to hax. But the fact that this team can stay alive for 50+ turns is definitely a good thing. I love this Kyurem. It hits like a truck especially after a hone claws boost, and is still...

I will take your advice and run a specially defensive Skarm over Ferrothorn for a bit and that Kyurem-B over the Dnite that I love oh so very much. We'll see how they do. I started out with Bounce on my Gyara, but found Stone Edge's accuracy to be too iffy against bulky water types and is...

I wouldn't recommend a scarf Magnezone set, as it is outsped and basically outclassed by Choice scarf Magneton. If you aren't looking to run a Choice scarf variant, Sub charge beam can be infuriating if you switch it in on the right thing (No one running a Ferrothorn on their team will want to...

Not so sure how I feel about your Thunderus set. NP and Charge Beam seem a little redundant, as does Electric Gem and Charge Beam. Maybe replace his item with Life Orb, and throw HP ice in there for coverage instead of Charge Beam? Also, 5 of your pokes are weak to Fire, and the 6th is...

So I've been playing on PO and have noticed a few things that my team is weak to. Breloom, if my Dnite isn't at high health, destroys my defensive core. If it comes in at the right time and sets up a spore, then an SD, even my Genesect can't revenge it (Mach Punch wrecks it). Rock Polish...

Hi y'all, After taking a long hiatus from OU because I didn't like the way weather was shaping the metagame, I have returned with my try-hard pants on. I decided to combat these weather shenanigans with rain of my own. My team is based around bulky support Dragonite, entry hazards, and...
