Torkoal is primarily used as a sun setter so it can do its job even while asleep. Rest is to give it longevity so sun can be set up throughout the game.

Thank you, I assume the special set is used to just hit harder in general? Trying to weigh my options between the two.

While looking into Dragapult sets I noticed the Smogon strategy dex held mixed dragapult in high regard. Though looking at most sample teams I see they have moved to having an entirely special based hex set. What are the advantages to going mixed?

Looking at Sand Rush Excadrill and I notice that most people use max speed. I thought that seemed like overkill and looked at the relevant speed tiers for +2 Exca. While I definitely thought it was needed to outspeed +1 Dragapult, the other two it needs to watch out for are +2 Volc and +2...

Got it that makes sense!

Forgive me for my ignorance, what do you mean by a jump point?

I've been looking into Rhyperior sets and I see that they normally run 16 atk and 24 spe. What benchmarks do these EVs hit?

I've been wondering where the best place to figure out what's going on in the metagame. For example I was reading in the viability thread about SD Gliscor. However no one posted a set, but people already seemed to understand exactly what they were talking about. How does a user find this...

Ooh, just found this thread. I actually only started naming pokemon after I got into competitive. I pull out a lot of random references, but really try to put time into them. References: Garchomp: Nex Runescape boss who looked startlingly liked Garchomp on release, also means violent death in...

I've really wanted to make a Mega-Sceptile team for awhile, and so I decided to take one of the cool FWG cores that had been made with it. Sceptile is the star of the show taking on many threats with it's blazing 145 speed and pretty good special attack, Azumarill and talonflame help get rid of...

Hi Posh_Rev i have some suggestions for your team. First though you need to buff out those descriptions otherwise the RMT will be locked, just try to flush out why you picked them and how they greatly synergize. Actual Changes: 1. Change Gliscor to 244 HP EV's This gets Gliscor to a poison...

Ok D3CON I'll take your suggestions one by one 1. Make Gliscor Def and Rotom-W Spdef I agree with this one, I think this is something I want to experiment with and it gives me a decent check to a lot of physical mons that are giving me trouble. 2. Change Azumarill/Rotom-W with Ttar This one I...

Hey guys and welcome to my second RMT of 6th gen. After taking a break for a while I decided it was time to get back on the ladder. I realized that my teambuilding was crap, but then I ran into an extremely nice player named Nabilla The Angel who helped me shape the team. Team Building: I...

Bump. I've been working with this team, but I could really use some help with it.

Hey guys I'm here with my second 6th gen RMT. I've been having a lot of success on the showdown ladder and wanted you guys's opinion on this team. This started as a team based around one of my favorite Gen V sets, Yachechomp. However I eventually decided that using it was too hard and decided...

That's the reason I'm using Spooky Plate over leftovers, It will power up shadow sneak as well as shadow ball, but I just found the speed to be negligible. As a bonus any Aegislash running 12 Spe EVs will be slower and possibly let me hit a shadowball while they are in Blade Forme. EDIT: I just...

The SpD is for Genesect because Aegislash does not like taking +1 Flamethrowers. The 12 Atk, used to be in Speed to out speed and attempt to KO -Spe nature Ttar, but I found it not to matter as much. I switched it to attack to give my Shadow Sneak a small bit of oomph, and to keep my HP at a...

After the initial hype I stopped using Aegislash, but I've decided to use him again. However I've been having some issue picking a set, but this is what I've come up with. Aegislash @ Spooky Plate 240 HP/ 12 Atk / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Quiet - Shadow Ball - Sacred Sword - Shadow Sneak - King Shield...

A quick nitpick. Excadrill won't have Iron head access until pokebank comes out. I would seriously recommend shadow claw anyway as slidequake gives great coverage and it's nice to be trevenant and gourgeist.

Ok I definitely agree with the Staraptor to Adamant change, he needs to hit as hard a possible. For Aegislash is the lack of STAB worth it, I don't seem to be able to SD a lot so wouldn't that harm his damage capabilities. I will definitely try weakness policy though. Lastly I can't see me...
