Not my first team, but my first team since start of Gen 6, maybe. I like the idea of using Latias as Special Wall instead of Goodra, I will give it a try.

Recently came back after some years to play competitive Pokémon again. After some time battling, I ended up creating this team, but I know there is much room for improvement, specially because I'm not really used to some new "trends". I'm having problem breaking some walls and overall, I feel...

Hi, Smogon. I want your help in this BW1 Sand team I made, any suggestion is welcome. Preferable with BW1 rules, but not restricted to. Thanks and here we go to the team: ANA SAND Tyranitar @ Chople Berry Trait: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 64 SAtk / 192 SDef Sassy Nature - Crunch -...

How does Cofagrigus negates Sand Rush if neither Earthquake and Rock Slide, Excadrill's main moves, makes contact?

You should watch out for priority users such as Scizor (Bullet Punch) and Conkeldurr (Mach Punch). Specially the later because if Reuniclus is dead he sweeps the entire team after a Bulk Up. I would recommend Gyarados in the place of Scrafty. Checks the two Pokés mentioned above and may serve...

Wouldn't Roost be a better way of recovering HP to Gliscor? Because he is a booster and there is no Sandstorm in your team. I think Protect is more recommended for Toxic + Sandstorm stalling.

I also recommend Gastrodon instead of Quagsire so he can absorb Water attacks. You say you wanted a Fire-counter, but your team already have 3 Water-weakness and you added one more with Heatran. Rotom-W can be a nice option, since he is also an offensive Poké. But it will share his single...

It's risky to bring boosting sweepers early in the game, because it's very like the opponent will bring a counter, you will be forced to change and will lose the turn you boosted. So, I think Excadrill works better at late game. Preserving him to the end should give better results. You may...

Bulk Up and Focus Sash in the same Poké don't go along very well. I think you should opt for one of the two, or none. If you want to mantain the Focus Sash I recommend Payback insead of Bulk Up, as it can OHKO Starmie while you resist her attack. Also, if I'm not wrong Starmie fails to OHKO...

I would recommend some Speed EVs in the Jellicent so it could outspeed Skarmory when you Taunt it. They have 10 Base Point difference and Skarmory usually don't invest in Speed.

Not really. Brick Break only helps to deal with opposing Excadrill. X-Scissors gives Excadrill opportunity to deal with Latios, and gives him great coverage. The first thing I noticed about the team is that Tyranitar with Pursuit and Mamoswine with Ice Shard -may- be a little redundant. I would...

He said he put a Ph. Attacker but wasn't effective because after his death, he was still walled by Blissey. So he put Nido which can set TSpikes to cripple Blissey anyway. It seems a very nice team, without much OU Pokes =D. Latios or Starmie could attempt a sweep with IBeam and TBolt, SE to...

Thanks for the link about Starmie-Metagross synergy, very helpful =D And I like it. I think the team is nice like this: -LO Lead Starmie -LumBerry SRocker Metagross -SDancer Garchomp -CScarfed Latios -CBanded Scizor -Mixed Atk-based LO Infernape It looks very deadly. \o/ Faces some problems...

Thanks for the answer FlameSaber! First, I didn't know Salamence and Latias were also banned from 4gen OU! o.o" Well, they are allowed too. I thought of a semi-stall team because even an offensive team can get a great advantage from SR. At least I don't feel confortable in a team without any...
