Excellent suggestions, anonymous poster I don't know. I tried out band t-tar over Snorlax, and it's worked out quite well. It works together quite well with Hera, taking out those speedy psychics with ease. On he other hand, my steel weakness is bigger than ever, and strong water attacks tear...

I managed to get this team to peak at 1500 on Showdown, but I may have been lucky. I feel like it's not ready to stand up to the stronger teams higher up. The basic idea is to get hazards up (especially sticky web) and then let the slower, stronger members of the team run amok. Olimar...

Could I bump this once? I put a lot of thought into it and nobody replied. It's a pretty fast board, huh?

Thanks man. Sounds pretty low regardless, I was hoping for a clean OHKO. :\

Hey there! Currently trying my hand at the XY OU metagame for the first time. I have a team build here, but I know there are plenty of things that can be improved. Basically, I'd like it to be a balanced offense team, with Pinsir and his shiny new mega stone bringing up the rear as an end-game...

Not so much a question, but looking for a favor from someone here who knows how to do damage calcs. Can you tell me how much HP Grass from a max Sp. Atk. Gastrodon would do to a Rotom-W? How about with a boost from Wise Glasses (+10%) or a +1 from a Storm Drain boost?

What are some good lures/surprise killers for Rotom-W in poke bank OU? I was thinking of both SD facade Gliscor and Mold Breaker Exacdrill, but both lose to scarfed sets thanks to Hydro Pump. My team has room for a dedicated counter, but in general the normal bulky grass and normal type counters...

I don't think anyone's posted any Shuckle sets yet. I (surprisingly) had a good deal of success on showdown with this: Shuckle @ Leftovers Ability: Contrary EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SDef Bold Nature - Shell Smash - Rest - Infestation - Encore/Toxic With SS and Contrary, you can boost your...

I've been running this "core" in Showdown/pokebank OU, with th Pinsir as a late game sweeper/cleaner: Magnezone @ Choice Specs Ability: Magnet Pull EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef Modest Nature - Volt Switch - Thunderbolt - Flash Cannon - Hidden Power [Ice] Slowbro @ Leftovers Ability...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, especially you Joeyboy. I'll test these out and see how they work. :)

Hi Smogon. It's been a really long time since I've posted a team, so forgive me if I'm a little rusty at this! Here is a team I helped a friend build a few weeks ago. I think it looks brilliant on paper, but it never seems to come out on top as often as I like. For one, it has a lot of...

Thanks for all the help guys! I'm loving some of these ideas. @Anthonias For Bronzong, I really haven't been having too many problems with him. I kinda like his EVs the way they are, to give him a bit of a kick offense-wise. I've tried HP Ice before over Earthquake to fight Gliscor and D-nite...

Intro: Hey again Smogon. Recently I got kinda bored playing around with my usual team, so I decided to give something new a try: Trick Room. Once I considered it to be a pretty lame gimmick, but after testing it for a few weeks now I’ve found it to be a pretty darn solid strategy. My team still...

I know, nuts. I actually uses a similar Gengar to yours, but I changed it up a little because I got sick of Focus Blast missing: Gengar (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 100 Atk / 156 SAtk / 252 Spd Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Shadow Ball - Disable - Focus Punch - Substitute OHKO's...

Hey dude, Just wanted to say how great I think this team is. I was the guy who fought you on PO recently, and I had to drop by and see it for myself. Really solid, especially that Dragonite. It walked all over me, pretty much. :P

Could I put one bump on this? It's been several days, it's on the third page, and no one posted anything really...

Aw, really? Does that mean I can't post this here? I mean Genesect isn't listed in the banned species list above, and I use it all the time in the Dream World on the Smogon server of Pokemon Online. :pirate:

Breloom: Pretty tough opponent. I usualy have to let it put something to sleep and hit it with a Psychic from Slowbro. Chandelure: Can trap and kill a bunch of members of my team, and Genesect even lures it. They all have counters though... for example Uturn or Donphan's Earthquake. If it's...

Hey everybody. Thanks for clicking on this thread! A bit of personal history: I’ve played mostly Gen 4 OU in my poke-career up until about a month ago. I decided to finally make the switch to Gen 5 and learn a thing or two about the new metagame. This is my first RMT thread in a very long time...

I've had similar success with this set, as well as the one with U-turn over Thunderbolt and a non-Attack-decreasing nature. Aside from the big counters of Blissey and Chandelure... does anyone else worry that this thing will end up getting banned at some point?
