Oh boy, another balance team. I basically wanted to build around defensive POgre. Kyogre @ Blue Orb Ability: Drizzle EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature - Scald - Sleep Talk - Rest - Earthquake Ogre is fat. Fat enough to eat one hit from basically anything and slap back...

Disclaimer: This team is a joke. Don't use it. You're all familiar with the feeling of staring down a fast wallbreaker you have no answer to. You're all familiar with the feeling of facing down a janky spam team and knowing you're going to lose to this idiot. W H Y N O T B O T H? The...

Once again, I found myself wanting to make another anti-offence balance side. Getting a little sick of Hawlucha, Greninja, Pinsir, the whole lot, I went searching for a single threat that could handle them all. And I found it. K-Kartana?! (Whimsicott) @ Choice Specs Ability: Prankster...

Those of you who've read my various RMTs in the past will know of my general distaste for "HO of the month." Well, with everyone returning to good old-fashioned Azelf HO, it's time to show that we don't need Snow Warning for Veil to work. Ol' Reliable (Sandslash-Alola) @ Focus Sash Ability...

So once in a while, I get the urge to hard counterteam some kind of ladder cancer. It's a little more rare that I get annoyed by something like hazard-stack, but I ended up building this team to counter webs as well. I don't normally post these teams, but this one performs really damn well for...

I'm sure most people reading this thread will watch Pokeaim. And so I'm sure they've seen the gimmick team in which he gets webs on his own side. I spent a lot of time trying to make that work in OU. Mons like Serperior worked wonders, but the presence of so many pivot leads made getting any...

I don't know how many of you remember gen V. I don't know how many of you remember the joys of Rain Dish Tentacruel, of Bulky Dragonite, of rain-guarded Ferrothorn. And I'm sure you're all as sick as I am of Ferrothorn-Koko-Hawlucha-Swampert-Kingdra-Pelipper. So it's time for a blast from the...

Every once in a while, I get the urge to try something stupid. Today, I loaded up a set for a mon that couldn't possibly work as part of a traditional defensive core. But oh, it did, spectacularly. The Defensive Core Gotcha (Salamence) @ Leftovers Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 4...

Back in ORAS, when I were but a lowly noob, one of my fondest pleasures was wandering into ubers with Calm Mind Flyceus, and sweeping the low ladder. Wanting to relive these days, I tried this again, and ran into the wall of Toxic the format has become. Not wanting to waste a moveslot on...

With the recent changes to the balanced hackmons metagame, I found myself with two problems. The first, the surge in stall due to the death of Primal Groudon. Second, the death of all of my teams, because why wouldn't I have a Primal Groudon. Tiring of trying to find replacements, I decided to...

One glorious summer day, sat in my mother's basement (or maybe a starbucks), I thought it would be fun to jump onto the Seed Hawlucha bandwagon. But why would I ever want to play the same old rain-koko-lucha offence that plagues the ladder when I can play bad things? And so, Psychic Hawlucha...

Hi. I've been playing around with this team on ladder a little, but I'm not really used to trying to make competitive teams, and fairly new to UU. The Team Empoleon @ Leftovers Ability: Torrent EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Def Calm Nature - Scald - Roar - Toxic - Protect The Special Wall...
