in retrospect, i think i was relying on simisage too often as a win-con instead of ninjask, which is against what i'd originally intended. NP seems to be a little easier to play with considering the disparity in power. i was a little less enthusiastic about rotom>zebstrika at first, but the...

hey! cheers for the heads up about floatzel. i was feeling kinda iffy about it but went against proper judgment and ignored the threat. after playing around with the (edited) team, i feel a little safer when attempting to switch into annoying things rather than hoping metang or vibrava could...

Introduction it's getting about that time in the generation where continuing to play the same old tier i've been playing (i.e. OU) has gotten kinda stale, so i decided to give PU a shot. despite having a muck around on the ladder for a few days and scoping out some replays/recordings, i still...

Got it, thanks so much for your input! I'll update my post immediately :)

What would you suggest putting Pursuit over on the moveset, then? And would an alternative spread of Jolly: 68HP/252Atk/188Spe (outpacing M-Zam) suffice?

Balance Core starring Krookodile, Gengar, and Rotom-W You probably think I'm (something along the lines of) crazy for running Krookodile outside of UU, but please hear me out! It's a powerful mon, I swear! I've been mucking around with different Krookodile sets in OU and choice scarf/moxie...

Here's a kinda cool balance (or offensive) core I've been trying out lately featuring M-Manectric, Hawlucha, and Scizor. The core focuses on Manectric and Scizor weakening the opposition for Hawlucha to get a turn or two in to clean up late-game. Manectric has trouble with pink blobs which...

the whole argument of "just team support" is reminiscent of excadrill/thundurus going uber in bw. whatever drill couldn't beat, thundy smacked and vice versa. it's not an entirely new concept of banning a mon that requires a certain level of team support (not to say that lando NEEDS pursuit...

infernape isn't a wallbreaker though. especially when you consider mchomp's adamant outrage does more damage than ape's adamant (which nobody runs) LO/iron fist boosted close combat on a neutral hit. also consider that chomp gets a swords dance in a little easier thanks to its bulk and typing...

I've used the dragon dance variant quite a lot in XY and a few times in ORAS. you're absolutely right when you say it's lackluster, it's like the sad lovechild of dragonite's movepool and garchomp's defensive typing/stats. the only times i've honestly 'swept' is with AT LEAST a +2 boost; which...

Thanks for taking the time to provide some feedback! Nothing personal, however, but Toxicroak was one of the Pokemon the team was built around in the first place and thus I don't foresee myself replacing it. I see your reasoning behind suggesting Raikou, but without Toxicroak the balance of the...

I see, I'll give Pursuit a try. Thank you!

Thanks so much for your in-depth response! I'll definitely put your suggestions into action :)

Hey, welcome to my first RMT! To preface: about a week ago (ayyy) I spotted a snazzy-looking Altaria-Reuniclus-Toxicroak core on the 'ORAS Good Cores' thread, and I decided to build a team around it. I've had great success with this team on WiFi (and yes, against actual competitive teams; not...
