I'm building it to use in the main game, but I'm still going to use it against other people as well. Not like top tier ladder competition, but still against friends or like people at conventions in passing or at local mini-tournaments.

Considering I've hand-bred a full team for every game I've had since Platinum (Platinum | HeartGold | Black | Black2 | Y | Alpha Sapphire. Missed out on Moon though), it's not something I'm not used to, and I'm fine with it. Just looking for suggestions on a 6th team member.

So, with UsUm out now, wanted to make a more tryhard-y team compared to the casual run of SM since it's what I like to do, and I was hoping for a suggestion. The main player of the team is Mimikyu. Looking at its OU analysis, it likes a Sticky Web team, and since Shuckle is on my my favorite...

Well, then I have to hope that when we get Mega Bee, we get tutors too. Although once Bank opens up again, I can just breed Beedrill over in X/Y, teach it Drill Run in ORAS, and then send it to SuMo. Either Lucario and Gyarados, or Togekiss and Toxapex it is, then. Don't need to double the...

Anything helps, thanks. Although just a few questions on that. Wouldn't Drill Run on Bee help at least itself with Steels? (Also, I planned to give Dhelmise EQ over a Ghost STAB thanks to Mimikyu already doing it) While weak to Ghost itself, with Disguise to give it a free boost, wouldn't...

Might I ask for some suggestions? I'm trying to plan out a try-hard team for this generation, but since there aren't full 'mon specific analysis' yet for the new generation to go off of, I've got some gaps that I dunno what to fill with. The three that I want to use for absolute certain are...

Considering they're the opposite sides of the same coin, would new Mantine pair well with Skarmory for walls on each side? Or is the double Elec weakness too much and the physical side wall would need to be Ferrothorn and its ilk instead?

Well now that's just disheartening. After hearing about the speed buffs, I was really hype for using Mega Beedrill since it was one of my favorite megas design-wise, and I've already used the two megas I like more than it in previous generations (I'm a cartridge player, not a Showdown player...

Noted. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

Like so? Tyranitar @ Leftovers Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD Impish Nature - Stealth Rock - Crunch - Earthquake - Stone Edge And in the case of using Tyranitar, would Excadrill make a better offensive spinner over Starmie due to being able to abuse Sand Rush? Or would the...

I appreciate any help given. Although would the bulkier spread still put out enough damage to work as an offensive 'mon after it rocks up? Or is it basically "switch into things and abuse contact damage." after it does its' primary job?

Deleted the old thread since it kinda just fell to the wayside with no comments, (and had a member banned from it), so I'm trying again with a slightly modified team. Still gonna add a poll to help with a major decision with the team, but for the most part I think it works better than the...

I'll give it a shot. My Mega is already Gallade, so Arm Cannon Scizor isn't an option. I'm mainly looking for a hyper offense replacement for Greninja since I still haven't found one since his ban, and I figured since I didn't have hazard removal, I'd look there first. Sadly, non-legendary...

I know it's a coverage loss, but is there viable room for Defog on the newfangled Orb Scizor? I'm looking for a Spinner/Fogger that'll still keep my team an Offense team that isn't Legendary or a GenIV HM exclusive, and so far I've only come up with Excadrill and Starmie. If base Scizor is a...

As do I, with Rotom-W as an extra member, even though 'core' is usually reserved for 2-3 'mon pairings. Talonflame can pose issues to the trio, and Rotom-W just laughs at it while Volt Switching in the attackers safely.

Thanks for the opinions. In most fantasy settings, I'd choose accuracy over power in any given situation since it's always been my style to go for precision and/or sneaky tactics; a single or few well placed hits versus brute forcing things. But sadly Pokemon has never really agreed with that...

Is it mainly down to preference, or are there any crucial KO breakpoints that Gallade would miss out on taking Psycho Cut over ZenButt? I know having the flinch chance is nice and M-Gallade has the speed to abuse the chances, but recently I just had the worst luck and missed four ZenButts in a...

As mentioned earlier in the thread (probably), Rotom-W goes great with Gallade and Bisharp both. It laughs off anything Talonflame can do and forces it out with the threat of chunking off upwards of 3/4 of Flame's health bar with a slow Volt Switch (full K.O. with Rocks) while letting in...

Cheers. Glad for an outside opinion on that one. Any other recommendations for the final slot, by chance? I've got M-Gallade, Bisharp, PhysDef Rotom-W, Specs Sylveon, and Shuckle, and I'm not sure who all are bros with Gallade aside from Bisharp. I was thinking Greninja because Greninja OP (Not...

Since having a Fairy working with the Gallade/Bisharp duo to deal with the eventual M-Sableye is pretty important, would a form of Sylveon work well on the team? Mainly the SylveSpecs variation since I wanna make my team fall under Offense over Balance if I can. Or is Unaware Clefable simply the...
