Wanted a team around bulky mega scizor but wasn't sure what to go with and in my eagerness to play, I tried to patch together a team. Turns out the team didn't require much alteration before it was usable to a decent standard, although it still needs work Scizor @ Scizorite Ability...

Okay so I'm not the most awesome battler. Gen 5 I did do okay on the ladder, once I understood the meta game better. This gen I'm really struggling to understand what works, and I'm never going to jump onto the Charizard bandwagon (Yeah right). I think I've used a dedicated stall team twice in...

After getting trifled by a Volt Switch team, I decided to build my own. Most teams I build rely on momentum so I thought Volt switch would be perfect. I wanted to base a team around scarf Genesect as I think he's pretty overpowered when played properly. I'll try to show team building in the...

So I thought it was time to dip my toes into 6th gen OU. I was going to wait until I had the safety backup of the wonderful sets smogon provides were published properly but I decided I'd just got in head first. Having watched a few battles and read about a little it seemed to me like Stall was...

I fancied a change and decided to ride the weather wave, on the rain side. This team is pretty fresh and I've not used to a huge amount, but it seems to work pretty well. Okay so here goes: Politoed @ Leftovers Drizzle 252 HP/252 Def/ Bold Nature -Scald -Perish song -Toxic -Protect...

Okay, here goes. After finally deciding to play 5th Gen (I started a few months ago on 4th Gen, prefered to pokes), I trialed through various teams, trying to avoid weather for now. Here's where I'm at, and team seems to work pretty well : Quick glance: More depth: Conkledurr@ Flame Orb...
