Thanks for pointing that out, my internet has been really frustrating lately. About Aegislash: King's shield is not necessary. If you want to swap the item for something, go Spooky Plate since 9/10 times you're going to Shadow Ball on the switch anyway, otherwise he's fine as is.

I have a couple changes that will hopefully help your team out: - This team would love Stealth Rock. I know it's a Hyper Offense team, but even Hyper Offense can afford a speedy setter. I'd probably replace the move you use least on Deoxys with Stealth Rock. Personally I'd choose Psycho Boost...

While this doesn't matter since PokeBank is a thing now officially, this team was built for Pokebank OU (Hence the tag), and therefore previous Gen tutor moves were legal on it.

I definitely approve of the Xatu -> Excadrill change, as rocks getting up basically shreds Mence, Talonflame, and Xatu in your current build. Mold Breaker Excadrill should do just fine on this team as long as you run enough speed to outspeed defensive Rotom-W. You could also mess with Sand Rush...

Just a couple things: ~I really feel that Trevanent is out of place. You listed the reasons for his inclusion as "Dealing with a vulnerability to Rock, Water, and Flying types." Trev doesn't do much against fliers, and he totally kills any offensive momentum. I'd recommend ChestoRest Rotom-W in...

Just a couple nitpicks that may not make a huge difference in the end: ~I don't see much point in making Deo-S outspeed scarf Genesect unless you pack Fire Punch to deal with it at the same time. As it is now you're still going to eat that U-turn to either knock off its Scarf or get up rocks...

Note that, yes they are comparable, but Weavile isn't very good, I don't know why you want the comparison. Also, Staraptor doesn't have enough power to support an agility set only. His defenses are so lackluster that all you need is prio to wreck him, and you don't have sub to protect him from...

I would. A sweeper who has already been wounded by staraptor, especially Gyarados who can't take another hit from SR after it, is more than acceptable death fodder. Assuming they are switching in sounds like calcing from an advantage, as that assumes you will always hit the correct pokemon with...

Leaving you, at best, with 13% after your first attack. And that is bare minimum damage roll. 4% more and the best you manage is a tie.

Some calcs I ran. Using adamant nature on these with Life Orb. - Close Combat vs Scarf Jirachi (342/236): 176-208 ~ He can 2HKO Scarf Jirachi, which is pretty nice. 2hko isn't enough - Close Combat vs Wish/Calm Mind Jirachi (404/292): 143-169 ~ He can still 2HKO Jirachi, even with...

It was an over-exaggeration to be sure, it was meant to be though. One problem that really hurts this set, is that unless you predict on an EQ, ratpor cannot switch into ANYTHING. You might scare blissey or snorlax away with CC, but you can't afford to be status'ed or wounded by lax. You...

I don't understand your post. It looks like you are against me, but you are only stating my points. Are you arguing against me? Many Flying types can afford to switch into SR, Staraptor is not one, it seems we agree there. Camerupt vs. Infernape was a very drastic difference I was using to...

I'm a decent writer, my writing level kept me in high level classes throughout my high school career, and it all came rather effortlessly. Articles I could write for the smog: ~Set Comparison ~Pokemon Comparison ~Featured RMT ~Featured Pokemon ~Pokemon likes and dislikes ~Strategies and...

I'm describing weaknesses of both. You can't exactly pull a couple sentences and say "this pokemon also has this". So what. Stealth Rock weak is all flying types, its still a con here. You completely ignored half of the point on one of my posts just to point out SR weakness. Also, it has all of...

Return is probably the best option, however its damage output is still lower than Brave Bird, so they aren't interchangible moves
