I've trying a core Metagross/Hydreigon in a TR team which I think is quite interesting. First, Metagross has the bulk and the power to use effectively a choice band, with the extra benefit of having a priority attack to revenge kill and access to trick to cripple walls. The main problem is that...

We have witnessed the gold age (gen I) and the silver age (gen V) for psychic types. It's pretty obvious why gen I psychic types were so overpowered, so I won't discuss anything else. The "silver age" was due basically because gen V was fighting type's golden age. Dragons were overpowered and...

Whats the problem with Dazzling gleam? It's an amazing move! Ghost/Fairy is only resisted by pyroar, wich is basically useless. Also is supereffective against dragons, fighting and dark types. You can hit steel types with shadow ball, wich is still pretty powerful and can deal pretty damage...

How about an assault vest set? Thanks to intimidate his defense is quite high, and has pretty base HP too. Moreover, he has a really handy movepool for a bulky attack approach: pursuit (wich is very useful paired with intimidate), knock off, crunch, earthquake, stone edge, low kick, brick break...

Actually, Competitive isn't a Hidden ablity, and she can still have Cute Charm. I think a tank set with recover, scald, ice beam/toxic and maybe dragon tail with competitive may be interesting in a stall or semistall team that relies on hazard damage. Since this kind of team struggles against...

What about hippowdon for bisharp? I don't think the power ranger can stand many earthquakes. If he's behind a substitute you can always phaze it.

I would add gourgheist and tentacruel to that list. I run both of them in a non stall team, but they're a really great duo and I think they should be mentioned. Gourgheist-Super in particular is a really powerful check to many phisical traits for different reasons, including Breelom (The only...

Cheatingtaco, note that if no guard allow him to pass through protect, that also means he cannot use protect himself. Maybe you should run shadow sneak or swords dance (or rock slide, as you sugest) in its place.

Ok, I've found the reason he has No Guard: According to serebii No Guard allows you to hit throght protection, detection and similar moves! Phantom force seems a pretty decent move and, alongside with bounce users it may have a little use, too. http://www.serebii.net/games/protection.shtml So...

If escavalier learns it, it may be a decent move in an assault vest set, allowing him to boost his attack with the restrictions AV has. The same goes for many other, although Excavalier deserves some love because of its decent bulk, great type and stupid movepool ): He's an armored snail with...

Also, Doublade has almost half the speed Aegislash has, wich means he can abuse gyro ball more efficiently, even with his lower base attack. However he needs so badly something to abuse no guard...

Why would you want to use poison jab to hit fairies when you have adaptability boosted bullet punch?

I don't see choiced protean greninja is a bad option. He has a really good speed and decent offensive stats, and it would be unique in the sense that he doesn't use "coverage moves", since every move he uses has STAB. Hydro pump, dark pulse, waterfall, ice beam, extrasensory, grass knot, HP or...

Razor shell, muddy water, blaze kick, leaf blade, leaf tornado were signature moves of starters but were not exclusive to them.

Has anybody tried to breed spiky shield Ferrothorn? It would be a great addition to him, incresing even more its stalling potential. Roserade may have it, too.

It may be a little gimmick, but I thought you could use two trapping moves (for instance shuckle with sand tomb or wrap and infestation) in order to deal great amount of damage. Using two moves will ensure that your rival cannot switch, and there are a ton of pokes that can use two moves of this...

Well, while prankster doesn't activate the turn you megaevolve, Banette still has priority in Shadow Sneak and Sucker Punch, wich will activate the megaevo and will benefit from the attack buff. You could just use ir to revenge kill a weakened foe and then use priority will-o-wisp or thunder...

Hello community. Today I'd like to talk you about one of the most underrated sun sweepers in existence: Victreebel. http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/victreebel/ou "Plants get chewed on by lizards; it's a sad but true fact of nature. Similarly, Victreebel gets eaten alive by a fat green...

I understand that. Well, I like to play innovative and I'm not afraid of using non-OU pokèmon. I've used that bisharp many time and I've got good results. Competitive battling is a very hard field, and what it may look like a good idea for me maybe is just an oddity for the community. I'll keep...

Hi, people. This is my first post and I wanted to show what I think is an original and pretty useful set for bisharp I've using: Bisharp @ Life Orb/Leftovers Trait: Defiant EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def Adamant Nature - Low Kick - Dual Chop - Sucker Punch - Swords Dance Are you afraid of...
