I like his Electivire. It makes a good scarfer when it comes to killing things like Flygon, Salamence, Tyranitar, Heatran, blah blah... It packs a suprise, and originality. So people should read the first paragraph in his post before suggesting he uses the same old common OU pokemon. Although if...

*continued from last post* Dragonite's extremespeed does do other things that the other priority moves doesn't. For example, is it smart to Bullet Punch or Ice Shard an Infernape? Also, Draonite's extremespeed does great damage combined with 403 Attack and Life Orb. I have replaced...

Zeyre@ I like your suggestion about Rotom-H. I'll test pain split out when I get back from college tonight. Bad Ass@ Had only time to read the first two paragraphs really. I noticed Bug Bite did a lot worse that U-Turn did, as I kept getting trapped by 'Zone aswell as being unable to counter...

I think I may have mentioned Roost on Scizor at one point. The reason I don't have it is because I want Scizor to last, but I don't want him to lose any of his attacking ability. I used to have Suicune before Vaporeon, and I figured Wish and Heal Bell support will help Scizor's survivability...

Well, keep the EV's you have on Salamence, but replace Stone Edge with Fire Blast. Outrage with STAB does 180 damage, only 20 less than a x2 Stone Edge. So it would really help you handle steels if you chose Fire Blast. Fire Blast is only needed for Scizor, Foretress, Skarmory and other steels...

Well, I have considered Foretress before. But since I already have two steels, and a Magnezone would have a jolly day eliminating half my team, aswell as the fact Donphan does well enough against Dragons. (Not to mention that Dragon's tend to pack Fire Blast for the sole purpose of defeating...

Good idea, I never thought about the more damage Bug Bite can do... I'd rather keep superpower though because it KO's Magnezone, Heatran and Blissey without any boosts. Unfortunately Scizor won't be able to scout as much anymore.. But I guess improved damage, aswell as a Bug Type attack...

Well, Vaporeon isn't really used to stall electrics, he is used to heal other members of the team generally, but he does earn some free turns with Toxic, which helps Wish. Unfortunately, even if I wanted protect, I would have to replace Toxic or Heal Bell, which would eliminate the whole point...

Threat List Azelf Psychic walled by Scizor, Bronzong. As mentioned in the above post, Fire Blast will do little to Bronzong. Rotom can come in on Explosions, and if he doesn't explode, Rotom can simply Shadow Ball him. Sash sets are picked down to low HP and he is finished off by one of my...

For those who don't know me, I'm Kryuell. I've been competetive battling for a while now, and after an unfortunate mishap with my Nintendo DS (dropped down a flight of stairs) I have come back to Netbattle. I know Smogon is filled with a lot of pros, so I hope to further improve my team with...

This would probably be an unchanged move from the days of G/S/C where you could get a TM for Curse. So back then it wasn't illegal on Squirtle. Now it is.

Charizard more common than Raikou? Heh.. I would put Dragonite down to the addition of Extremespeed? Not sure about Aggron though. I realised a while ago that Salamence just isn't what it used to be. Dents from Stealth Rock combined with Scizor and Lucario finishing him off with Priority moves..

EV'ing at level 100? I don't know if there is an article somewhere about this, but I have a Modest Suicune at level 100 (which I raised back in the noob days so it sucks) What I was wondering is if there's a way to EV my suicune - Or any other pokemon - at level 100 and still get the stats...

After a quick scan through your team, I have to ask why you run Outrage and Draco Meteor on Salamence. Surely you need Fire Blast/Flamethrower to counter steel types? Once your opponment notices you have no Fire Blast, they can just send in a Skarm and make your eyes bleed.

Hi, I'm Kryuell. A lot of you may know me for my Absol sets, but now I've been focusing on my OU competetive battling. Until I can afford to buy a new nintendo DS, i'm sticking with NB at the moment. I just want to know if this team is OK before going back to Wi-Fi. All improvements and...

I like the team, and with Trick Room that's a good use of Ursaring. But a few things spring to mind after just a glance at your team... Slowking should make use of Psychic over Flamethrower. I know fire has good coverage, but anything that flamethrower can damage, (like steels and grass...

Fire Blast would be better for Skarm and Foretress actually, so that point is debateable. You should consider giving Zapdos HP Grass. You have build a Zapdos with sweeping EVs, and your team needs something that knows a grass type move (Swampert says hi) Also, would it kill you to use...

Replace Scizor's Ariel Ace with Swords Dance and give him leftovers/life orb. CB Scizor just isn't as effective as it used to be. Also, why settle for +1 with a choice item rather than switch in and get a free Swords Dance?

I couldn't help but notice that your Salamence is just a worse Dragonite. If you are going to DD and Roost, then I would strongly recommend Dragonite. EDIT** I didnt read a few of the others' posts. My apologies if this subject already came up. Also, I'd like to add that Intimidate is nothing...

Smeargle: He puts things to sleep and gets rid of scarf... fair enough. But he doesn't do enough here. You should consider giving him Stealth Rock, Spikes or Toxic Spikes. This way, it will make it easier for Dugtrio to score OHKOs once he traps the opponment in. If you give Smeargle SR or...
