  1. ORAS OU “Electricity is really just organized lightning” Mega Mane and friends, peaked 1430

    Bumping this new team idea with changes that were posted above: Manectric @ Manectite Ability: Lightning Rod EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Volt Switch - Thunderbolt - Flamethrower - Hidden Power [Ice] Landorus-Therian @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Intimidate...
  2. ORAS OU “Electricity is really just organized lightning” Mega Mane and friends, peaked 1430

    Hey, thanks both for the rates. I'm gonna break them down and work through them together. You mentioned that Rotom was a wasted slot, and suggested Mega Mane is a bird counter, but that's a pretty horrible idea since T-flame outspeeds regular mane, and it can't survive a flare blitz, so Rotom...
  3. ORAS OU “Electricity is really just organized lightning” Mega Mane and friends, peaked 1430

    Introduction I wanted to make a new team, so I looked into what mega I wanted to build around - essentially I wanted to make a decent balance team that worked, and what I've created has turned out to be my most effective team yet. In my eyes, a balance team has to have: A physica wall/tank A...
  4. ORAS OU "It isn't the mountain ahead that will wear you out, it's the grain of sand in your shoe."

    You did, actually. I was really worried about it becoming too much of an offense oriented team. So, how about: Hippo - Tank Magnezone - Sweeper E-Drill - sweeper Serperior - Sweeper M-Alt - booster tank Now, the 6th. I have in mind another tank, to give me max switch-ins. Fire is a massive...
  5. ORAS OU "It isn't the mountain ahead that will wear you out, it's the grain of sand in your shoe."

    Hey, thanks for your rate :) The team has been going fairly well still but I'm noticing obvious weaknesses to water like you pointed out. Your changes will help me deal with anything weak to ground a bit better, and M-Alt resists water/grass attacks so that's cool, but is there anything you can...
  6. ORAS OU "It isn't the mountain ahead that will wear you out, it's the grain of sand in your shoe."

    Bump this. Wanna sort out the T-flame set, and address the questions I posted above ^
  7. ORAS OU "It isn't the mountain ahead that will wear you out, it's the grain of sand in your shoe."

    Hey, thanks the rate! I can see the appeal of smooth rock but then I lose out on recovery. However, I see the merit in the new EV spread; it still lets me tank physical hits and lets me tackle those pesky special attackers too. Would you run EQ or Rockslide/Stone Edge on Hippo? I don't wanna...
  8. ORAS OU "It isn't the mountain ahead that will wear you out, it's the grain of sand in your shoe."

    Welcome smogoners to my 2nd (I think) RMT, bringing back a team that I experimented with in the past but have now tweaked to enormous success, revolving around imo the best weather con of all: sand. Let's jump right into the squad! The core of this team is the classic Hippo + Sand Rush...
  9. ORAS OU Charizard and friends

    I see what you mean about serperior. I changed the team to combat water types like manaphy and Keldeo but that left me open to grass types :/ On the problem of serperior, I like the idea of skarmory, and I can use him as a whirlwind phaser and rock setter too perhaps, so this kind of outclasses...
  10. ORAS OU Charizard and friends

    Thanks for the suggestions guys! I feel compelled to write the changes that have been suggested to me so far to see how it impacts your rates, apologies in advance I'm on my cell and on holiday so I can't properly update the page. That said, here is the team as it stands: Mega Zard X Azumarill...
  11. ORAS OU Charizard and friends

    Bump.
  12. ORAS OU Charizard and friends

    I've trialed the team and lost all 3 games. Something's not gelling right and I realised with Ferro/Hippo I was massively weak to Keldeo as well as Manaphy still, but mainly the former; it was present on all 3 teams and it caused me huge trouble every time. Therefore, I'd like your advice on a...
  13. ORAS OU Charizard and friends

    Hey, thanks so much for the rate and for going so in depth with it! I really like your suggestions, though I'm loathe to part with Scizor because I love it so. However, your suggestions are so valid I'm gonna have to bite the proverbial bullet. I did have a few questions, though: Firstly, I'd...
  14. ORAS OU Charizard and friends

    Hey there and welcome to my 2 RMT, ft. Mega Chaizard X, the best Dragon Dancer around right now. I wanted to make a balanced team to incorporate him since I've got a pretty decent foot-hold into OU now and realised just how much of a monster Zard-X is with the right back-up. So let's get into...
  15. ORAS OU Help with my team

    Yeah, they should still work, though I don't have massive experience with doubles, it should still be OK!
  16. ORAS OU Help with my team

    To be honest, you really don't need flying type moves - the grass types are few and far between, and fighting types are covered with Latios - try a bulky Latias if you're having trouble with M-Lopunny's ice punch. As for ice, the only notable user of OU is Weavile, and a few other mons using...
  17. ORAS OU Help with my team

    Hey! I've got a few suggestions that might help you out! Firstly, let's address the flying mega issue: In OU, the only massively viable flying megas are Charizard Variants and Latios. Looking at your team, I'd say a mega Latios or Latias would fit perfectly, giving you a keldeo switch in that...
  18. ORAS OU Sand storm-ing through the ELO

    Hey Smogon! Bloodwing here with an RMT of my favourite playstyle: Sand storm. This team's gonna feature some obvious (but classically effective) picks, as well as a few unorthodox picks designed to keep the team going. So, let's go! The team at first glance: Teambuilding Process: I...
