Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Like Worldie said above (and as I mentioned in my post), that's just my all-purpose Iron Hands for raids, with Focus Energy + Scope Lens thrown into the mix for this one. But if I were to repurpose the spread for this specific raid, I'd definitely add those EVs to its Defense instead.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share that I was able to solo the raid today in my second attempt with the following crit-spamming Iron Hands set (I lost my first attempt using just Belly Drum):
Iron Hands @ Scope Lens
Ability: Quark Drive
Item: Scope Lens (over Booster Energy)
Tera Type...
Yeah, that Fake Out miss was where everything went downhill for me. I knew that the Vaporeon was going to use Acid Armor, so I had to Fake Out the Walrein to avoid it KOing Zapdos with Ice Beam to KO with Thunder next turn knowing that Walrein4 has zero bulk... or that was the idea anyway...
Wow, that's really cool! I'm glad to see that you guys built and made a better, more thought-out version of the team long before I even thought about building mine. Now I get where all of Actaeon's "classic" comments come from. Thanks for letting me know!
Anyways, I'd really appreciate it if...
Hello again! I dedicated the whole Sunday to continue with the Open Level streak that I still had when I posted the Lv.50 one last week. After making some changes to the team thanks to Actaeon's suggestions, I was able to surpass my previous streak... by a grand total of 2 more sets, ending with...
I didn't word the Swampert part properly mb. I meant that Swampert is a threat to whatever is in the back with Ice Beam or EQ and is a cool bonus to KO it on turn 1 or in the mid-to-late game where Ludicolo/Kingdra might be weakened and switching either of them out is a good idea. But yeah...
Hey there! regarding each of your thoughs:
I agree with your thoughts about Mence. Like I said in my post, I use it mostly out of pure favoritism with its flawed IVs and all of that, and that's the one mon I'll definitely change if I want to improve my future streaks.
I agree with the Zapdos...
Hello there! its been a while since the last time I logged in, and I recently found out that there is a thread dedicated to 3rd Gen's Battle Tower records (I thought there were only threads beyond 4th Gen's Battle Facilities). Anyways, I'd like to share a 127 win-streak in Emerald's Lv.50's...
I lost my trading/collecting enthusiasm long ago (the upcoming Nature-changing mechanics don't do any favors either), but seeing your own reminds me of the good old days and kinda makes me wish I had that enthusiasm back. Stay strong mate!
Wow Its been a long time since the last time I visited these forums... Anyways, I'm looking for 2 Shiny Solgaleo/Lunala codes. In return I can offer almost anything from my defunct trade thread on my sig, otherwise just feel free to ask to see if we can work something out.
