Thanks for the feedback Dokkerich. I played a few games last night with Sylveon instead of Umbreon and it worked it a bit better, but have to play more to be sure. I was also thinking of swapping Gyarados for Azumarrill (and keeping Umbreon or Chansey) to lessen my heavy hitters' weaknesses to SR...

Team Preview First time making and testing a serious OU team, my goal was to build a bulky-offensive/balanced team, with a fire-water-grass core. Initially I didn’t want to use legendary mons, and the team still doesn’t have any, but I’m not super opposed to adding one if it makes sense...

I'm a little confused by the Gen 6 banlist - it says Deoxys and Deoxys-A are banned from OU. Is "Deoxys" the same as Deoxys-N, and does this mean Deoxys-D and Deoxys-S are allowed in XY OU?

So do we know that the XY OU tier is definitely post-Pokebank, and whether it will stay that way now that the actual Pokebank is unavailable?

With the release of the Pokebank being pushed back indefinitely, why has the XY OU reset my ranking and allow post-Pokebank Pokemon? I was surprised to find myself battling Heatran, Sceptile and Mew this morning (and subsequently getting slaughtered lol)

Thanks for the quick reply. It still seems slightly unfair, but I suppose I can't complain

I'm new to competitive battling and Showdown, but I thought it was "illegal" to have a whole team hold the same item? I was playing Showdown earlier today, and I faced a team with 6 Leftovers. My competitor said it wasn't illegal, which I'm sure is true on at least a technical level (since he...

So Trevanant is a GREAT check for Rotom-W, and performs pretty well against Mega Kangaskhan (a beast). I tried out Meag Venusaur for a bit, but it underperformed in comparison. And I took your advice and I'm using Dragonite except @ Lum Berry (Weakness Policy doesn't do it for me) - he has...

Very helpful! I'm officially getting rid of Togekiss, and swapping Dazzling Gleam for Shadow Ball (which rarely gets used). I love the idea of using Mandibuzz since encountering a few in Showdown, but I'm hesitant to use Noivern as a specify sweeper - I feel like another poke would be better...

Great input - your suggestion to drop Blastoisinite and add a MegaEvo to Scizor is very well taken. Blastoise is really not going to miss it, and Scizor (over Alakazam) would be much better off with the boosts. I also realized that Choice Scarf on Noivern is actually quite dumb and negates his...

Bump for feedback on changes - I've been trying new versions of Noivern and Togekiss with their items swapped, and NP swapped for Aura Sphere on Togekiss (with SpA/Spe EVs maxed). It's doesn't really get around my problem with bulky Water types, but it's been much better in recent testing...

Hmm Switcheroo sounds intriguing (hadn't considered it), and could be the extra oomph that Noivern needs. And while I'm partial to keep Noivern on the team, Choice Garchomp may be just what the team needs to get past bulky walls. NP Togekiss is just not happening...

Thanks dragonhide. Good suggestion with Crobat, I'll definitely consider using him. Not sure about para-flinch Togekiss though because I already have a poke using Leftovers and another poke with Thunderwave

First, a disclaimer that this is my first competitive team and while I tried to be creative, these movesets aren’t extremely original. BUT I did try to give the team a purpose – in short, it tries its best to clear the field of entry hazards (and keep them off) and hit hard with a few key...
