I don't get why Smeargle would have the minimum Spdef, yet you max Def? Kingdra having rain dance doesn't seem worth it since you don't even have another water attack on this team, and it weakens Jirachi's fire punch. Substitute is a better option for Kingdra not being on a Rain themed team...

just due to the constant switching you would need due to all of your pokes using a choice item, passive damage like stealth rock, spikes, and sandstorm would quickly wear your team down. Not to mention the fact that none of them have a recovery move. All an opponent would have to do is a...

You mixed up abilities. Sniper raises the odds of a critical hit one stage. You were thinking of Anger Point, which raises a poke's attack 6 stages (max) if it is hit by a crit.

Who can use Haze effectively? Haze beats stat ups, but it isnt seen in competitive play now where Dragon Dance, Swords Dance, Nasty Plot, and Curse are frequently seen. The current environment can't support much in the way of (p)hazing due to the speed of it. Then we have the fact that...

I guess I just have to ask why you post this team for rating if you dont' want to change anything except donphan? I don't see a need for rapid spin on the team at all. Togekiss is your lead and shouldn't be coming in that often, and Zapdos has roost. I'd say drop him for some kind of steel...

I rarely like 3 choice users on a team, especially if it involves multiple scarf-ers. For Breloom, if you really want him to be an anti-lead, why not use protect/seed bomb/spore/mach punch while holding toxic orb? Protect to scout, mach punch will let you beat sash leads, you can still spore...

So I've noticed that every suspect test done so far has resulted in the suspect being placed into whatever tier it was being tested for. Garchomp tested as uber - became uber Skymin test - uber Latias test - OU Deoxys speed form - tested for OU, entered OU, then when there was another...

I think it would be better to have Thunderbolt over Discharge on Rotom. You want to keep Toxic Spikes out as long as possible, and since Rotom will be switching in to block Rapid Spin attempts, you don't want to use a lower power attack that has a better status chance when you'd rather have...

I say keep them banned to minimize luck in the game. We can't remove luck entirely, and a small amount makes things interesting (Stone Edge, Will o Wisp, etc), but even testing these moves will lead to strategies based on luck. I do not think there is no harm in testing. So far everything...

You weren't looking for answers that argued your point? Blissey laughs at Togekiss, Electivire comes in on Twave with a Motor Drive boost and threatens with a STAB physical attack. And heck, Jirachi strategies are more often Wish support and Tricking a Choice Item than relying on...

Your Lucario evs are listed as 252 SpA/252 Spd...I assume that's just a typo, but its worth mentioning so you can edit it. :D

I actually Disagree, he only has 2 pokes weak to each and 2 that can come in and resist each type of attack. I do, however, think Crocune is nowhere near as good in 4th gen as he was in 3rd. Vaporeon is far more common and basically renders Crocune worthless, and you don't really have...

wrong tanner, and I realize this is stepping into theorymon but it's pretty sound. Suicide leads would become less popular, true, but focus sash users would still be everywhere, just now being used on Reversal/Counter/Salac Berry sets because they no longer need to use a moveslot for endure

The big problem I see is that you're team is pretty slow. Most scarf users will still outspeed Gyara after a single DD, and your highest base speed is 100 with Salamence. This gives opposing Gengars, Azelfs, and such a pretty big edge. I'd change PorygonZ to a choice scarf set, dropping Nasty...

Yeah, it's been like 5 months since I played this game, so I missed a lot, like Platinum, for instance. So I've been getting owned on wifi several times and really need help. Since I'm on wifi, and I am 100% against hacking, recommending legends isn't the best since it's difficult to get some...

you mention 3HKO'ing skarmory with outrage, well that'll never happen because Skarm will roost off the damage. I'd actually say for PorygonZ, to drop ice beam in favor of HP fighting, and run Dark Pulse in the last slot. Fighting/Dark is great type coverage, and it makes TTar way less able...

I see a big weakness to Gyarados with the team. Haze, and even PHazing, isn't good enough anymore for most pokes because you're gonna get hit hard by a boosted attack while you roar or whatever. Now you can deal with Gyarados by switching Vaporeon's set to a more standard surf/hp...

So far everything that has been tested for a new tier has ended up in the new tier. Saying "we just want to test stealth rock" isn't particularly true, because anyone who says that knows that after testing, regardless of result, it'll be put to a vote and those asking to test it will vote to...

Cross Chop is better against Blissey, and since Vire lacks STAB it really needs every point it can get to guarantee the 2HKO, especially on versions that include special attack evs to use Tbolt

Because you'd rather have the constant base 120 BP of close combat or the critical hit boost for cross chop than inconsistent damage? That's what someone means in this scenario by "I think." They mean that while you can argue for Low Kick, there just aren't enough scenarios where it's clearly...
