Thanks for the suggestions! Swampert and Rotom are my favorite options, specially swampert since it's easier to get in-game, has better bulk and deals with lanturn4(?) (stockpile, rest, ice beam and charge beam) which 3-0 me in singles. Lanturn looks a bit inferior to Rotom, imo. Milotic kind...

Well, I’ve got an on-going 81 streak in super doubles, so I thought of sharing my team and ask for suggestions. The team is sort of balanced and works around Mega Mence destroying the opponent while the rest of the teammates give it support. The lead pokemons (MMence and ScarfHydra) usually...

Why run prankster over defiant in your Specs Tornadus set? It has no moves to benefit from it, while defiant at least powers up u-turn

I'm not convinced by your logic. If getting hazards up is mandatory to net certain ko's, then so is clearing them to negate ko's. Perhaps it would make more sense something like "Clearing is optional in HO teams." since that's basically what you said with the stall\balance exception you wrote.

I don't think Weavile would be less useful, you should test it before scrapping the idea. Turno 1: Mence mega-evo+hyper voice / Weavile fakes out attack to mence and gets to sash. Turn 2: Mence protects / hard switch into Scizor. Turn 3: Mence hyper voice / Scizor BP to revenge kill. Turn 4...

I would put AV in Scizor and ran u-turn and aerial ace over bug bite and protect. Reason is, I would use it as a pívot, so that I could safely bring again weavile/mence with a slow u-turn, while taking care of ice, rocks and fairy mons. (Edit) adding on to why the changes, you'll be switching in...

I've been reading that there are some megas currently unavailable in SM. Those that mean you can't transfer the pokemon with a stone from ORAS w/pokebank?

Completely agree, but won't this be a problem for several cores? "Core A + Core B+ Lando + Finni+ Defensive / Offensive Glue (depending on what type of Lando you chose to use) + Filler" seems like an usual OU team to me.

the meta was already based con post bank iirc

How useful is tri attack in practice? Z- conversion P-Z is supposed to come in safely, set up and sweep; it shouldn't be staying normal type because (1) loses an opportunity to do its job while risking being revenge killed, (2) normal type is a terrible offensive type, specially in a meta full...

Dragonite @ Choice Band Ability: Multiscale EVs: 4 Def / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Outrage - Fire Punch - Earthquake - Extreme Speed Dragon spam, maybe? CBnite lures and softens threats for Salamence, adding a lot of offensive pressure to common defensive answears and threatening...

Thanks a lot guys! I realized I wasn't playing full stall with my team as non of my battles lasted more than 40 turns, both Xerneas and Yveltal helped speeding up things. I didn't consider using a cleric since Aegis never stays on something that can burn it (Sableye, Groudon, Ho-oh...), Groudon...

Hey there! I'm looking for some advice and recommendations for my Ubers Stall team. This team has given me some consistent results in the ladder and I would like to hear suggestions on how to make it better for the PS ladder. Thanks in advance! Lugia @ Leftovers Ability: Multiscale Happiness...

Question about Greninja's ban: was it ever discussed banning Protean instead of Greninja? if so, what was the conclusion?

I haven't tried this AG thing yet but I was wondering if anybody has used Bulkarona as a check to swagplay, I used it to great success When it was a thing in OU. On the same boat, knock off+taunt Thundurus was a great tool against both BP and swagplay.

I have been playing with a team running both DD M-Salamence (Frustration, EQ and Fire Blast) and M Rayquaza. While I can only Mega one of them at any battle, both are great in their base forms and complement each other nicely in bringing down and controlling threats, considering Salamence 100...

Hey there! I was wondering if you could explain how does Gira-O checks Groudon. I'm new to the meta and so far every P Groudon I've seen has a dragon claw and either bulk investment or RP, what am I missing?

Not according to Bulbapedia, it's movepool is not as colorful as you would expect on a psychic type.

Switched Ray atk to 180 and V-create to a 120 base flying attack: 252+ Atk Life Orb Rayquaza V-create vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Bronzong: 116-136 (34.3 - 40.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO +2 252+ Atk Life Orb Rayquaza V-create vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Bronzong: 231-273 (68.3 - 80.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO +2...

Thanks a lot! I know about RMT, but I wanted some feedback and suggestions before getting my team completely destroyed in that forum. I never thought about making Mence my main winning condition over Ray but I will definitely give it a try and replace Iron Tail for DD. About Groudon, I will...
