Working on symphonia (ps3), and for the life of me I can't seem to quite master the battle system. There's very little in the way of tutorial, and all of the guides were written for gamecube ><. Still a quality game other than that. I'll probably move on to the other tales games afterwards :D

So, as a practicing scientist (3rd year PhD student, molecular neuroscience) and a Christian, these topics always make me sad, because they inevitably go like this: Poorly informed/undereducated Christian "Evolution is bullshit because blah blah blah" Every reasonably well-educated/sane person...

You're correct that you have too many offensive set up sweepers, so there are a couple of options; you could add dual screens to the team. Replacing your least favorite mon with someone like cresselia (who is crazy bulky) or espeon (who can keep hazards from going up) will let you set up...

Really well written rmt! I would think special D venosaur would be a better fit here, as you already have such crazy physical D and really only Blissey to reliably absorb special attacks. I really can't see much else to change, I would run a bulky rotom over suicune for additional coverage and...

While I tend to favor a more offense heavy team, I recognize that this team is very well put together, and I'm also a member of the cresselia fan club :D (although I usually run dual screens, obviously that would be silly here). I have to think, though, that you would benefit from having swords...

The biggest thing that jumps out at me is volcarona and roost; if you are ever spending a turn doing something other than attacking or setting up, then you're doing it wrong :D I would replace roost with Giga Drain asap for much better coverage. For mandibuzz, swap the EV'S in SDef with HP; you...

On heatran, I recommend roar over protect. With every team under the sun abusing things like swords dance and dragon dance, you can never have too much phasing! Without it he doesn't really wall talonflame, since almost all of them run swords dance (and many run roost), and they will simply get...

In my experience smash passing gorebyss sounds better in theory than it ends up playing out, but it can work. One major thing this team is lacking is hydration vaporeon, which can pass subs, wishes, or even acid armor while keeping itself alive with the op rain/rest/hydration combo. I would...

If you're going with a Choice band flyer, then Staraptor is a much more vicious wall breaker than crobat. You do lose speed, but the gain in raw power from Staraptor's ludicrously strong brave birds makes it worth it. You can also use talonflame, whose priority makes him great against prankster...

No player that is even remotely competent would think that kingdra is weak to electric, but I'm glad your using him. Critdra is underrated! I don't like agility on him though; with it he requires 2 turns of setup, and even then a sweep is no sure thing (think of what you could do with, say, 2...

Speed is pretty irrelevant on lucario because you're usually just cleaning house with bullet punch or extreme speed (close combat when you know you're faster...lucario isn't THAT slow...), if you get off a swords dance and have a bit of prior damage on opposing pokes, lucario can quite easily...

So before a mod locks this thread for missing detailed explanations about why you chose each mon/how they have synergy, I will try and make the ultimate dragon team for kicks (and I do love dragons). Since I'm assuming legends are banned here (and since this is an in-game team I'm assuming they...

Hi there, so your fire/water/grass core looks good, but you for sure want to run Giga Drain over HP on venosaur. I get what you're saying about steel types, but venosaur really shouldn't have to handle steel types anyway. You lose out on your best way to nuke bulky water types (or ground types)...

One easy way to remove a steel would be to replace skarmory with mandibuzz. They fill a very similar role, and although I personally think skarmory is better in general, mandi would work well on the team by helping to lessen your steel weakness (because God help you if heatran dies and he has a...

I love Steve Nash but as a Lakers fan I have to admit I hope he stays out for as long as possible...Keep the tank hopes alive! They're playing for a 2015 championship

I would replace sharpedo with greninja or at the very least crawdaunt, both are significantly stronger (particularly ninja) and are just way more viable on a competitive team. Ninja gives you amazing coverage, enhanced by his phenomenal protean ability. Crawdaunt is generally less terrifying...

So just a couple of glaring changes; change agility to swords dance on lucario. He already has priority (change earthquake to extreme speed while you're at it), all he needs is a swords dance or two to finish off an opposing team. On genesect, swap burn drive for choice scarf, techno blast for...

I've also found espeon to be underwhelming as a dual screener; everybody expects it and she tends to get nuked by any number of mons (or worse, something like megazard just sets up in her face and gets +3/+3 before you even start powering up). Another issue with using Defog is that it removed...

To get sylveon with heal bell in x/y simply breed the Eevee in black/white, give it heal bell there, then evolve it in x/y. In any case swap lum berry for leftovers. And if scizor is a revenge killer then it gets more power from life orb than from its mega form. That also frees up the mega slot...

Actually I have seen a few crawdaunt on the high end of the ladder this gen, not sure what people see in the dark lobster, but he's ranked in the official ou threat list and does see play, albeit rarely
