Hey! Thanks for that! I'll try Kabutops out, but using him over Ludicolo would give my team 3 weaknesses to Grass-type attacks, 2 of which would be quadruple weaknesses... don't you think that would be a problem?

Thanks! More info has been edited into the OP. I added a weakness/resistance chart for you to check out, but more importantly, I'm contemplating replacing Swampert with Qwilfish. Check out the OP for the set and explanation, and tell me what you think! Cheers!

Thanks! I edited in all of these changes (see blue italics). However, they raise some new questions that I need help answering. Please, RMT, show me some of your awesome skills and help a noobie out! ;)

Hey all, I picked up competitive battling again after a while, and I wanted some help with a team I created a long time ago (right before I dropped out of battling for some time). Basically, I wanted to try out Rain Dance, and I wanted my team to feature a sweeping Starmie; but seeing as I...

^ Except Gyarados outclasses Feraligatr completely as a Dragon Dancer, the only advantage Gatr has over Gyara is Torrent, which is really a lot more reliable on a Sub set than on a DD set.

I'm wondering the same thing. I PM'd Jumpman16 and he told me "the numbers are being fixed up and will be ready soon", but he gave no further information... so I don't know when the results will be made public, or where to find them. *is confused*

Of course I've only just started getting into this, but I don't believe that disallows me to post my opinion, does it? :) Anyway, I'm going to give an example that relates to my own current team. I'm using DD Salamence as a wallbreaker, since after a DD, what are you going to do when I start...

I've never really followed the entire Garchomp-debate, but what I'm understanding from this last thread-page is enough for me to come to the conclusion that Garchomp is too Uber for OU. The reasons: It has no viable counters: some Pokémon are capable of slowing Garchomp down but they're either...

Hmm, you're confusing terms here. Alakazam sweeping is his strategy. Synergy is a term consistent of the words "syn", which means together, and "energy"... in other words, a concerted effort of many, or "teamwork". Therefore, what you said came down to this: ... which makes little sense. The...

He doesn't need Shadow Ball for coverage, the combo Psychic/Focus Blast/Signal Beam gives him perfect coverage: - Psychic hits every type for neutral damage, except Dark (immunity), Steel and other Psychics (2x resistances). - Focus Blast hits Dark- and Steel-types super-effectively - Signal...

If you haven't been counting them, you haven't been EV training them. And because you haven't, every Pokémon on your team needs to be replaced by one that HAS been EV trained. I'm sorry, but that's a must if you want to get into competitive battling. When you construct a team, you should always...

You can't, you're supposed to count EVs yourself when you start training a Pokémon. Every Pokémon you just caught or bred has no EVs at all, and you need to count how many EVs it has received in every stat from the very beginning. Unfortunately, seeing as you didn't do that for your current...

A RBY Uber team? O__o First of all, this is a forum for competitive DPPt play, so RBY teams aren't really in the right place here. Come to think of it, is there a right place to post a team like this on Smogon? I don't know... Second of all, RBY has 2 Ubers, Mew and Mewtwo. You can hardly talk...

I'm not going to ignore the changing metagame, I'm just curious as to how it can change. I can see how those Ubers coming down to OU can change the shape of the metagame of course, but not in such a way that would affect every existing team... it's not like everybody is going to need to change...

Right, if Jolly and Ice Punch come in the same package, then I'll go with Adamant, as I definitely think both Stone Edge and TPunch > Ice Punch. Come to think of it, I argumented a few posts ago that Inner Focus > Steadfast because Lucario doesn't need more speed when it has a boosted...

@Mini: thanks! Like I said, though, I'd pretty much already decided on Inner Focus > Steadfast, since a +2 Extremespeed will do enough damage without any speed boosts necessary... The only things that I remain undecided on, and that are keeping me from starting my breeding right away, are...

I'll use the same numbers for my 2 cents on the problems Slumdog mentioned: 1. Your team is all but synergetic. First off, you have 3 weaknesses to Ground, a very common attack type; and even though it's covered by 2 resists (Togekiss and Bronzong), a couple of Pokémon can easily take advantage...

This thread is going to get locked, unfortunately, if you don't do anything to improve your Pokémon descriptions. One sentence of description like "is just destroys anything" or "he works good sometimes" just isn't enough. Also, add in the Pokémon images so we can see what Pokémon you're talking...

Thanks, so I'm keeping Inner Focus and Stone Edge until someone can prove me that Steadfast > Inner Focus (not likely), and/or Crunch/TPunch > Stone Edge (maybe). For those pictures: basically, I just searched "human Pokémon" in Google and this Photobucket album came up, with Human Pokémon...

Just a random nitpick: it's Swampert, not Swarmpert. >.> Accept this bump as an apology for me being a nitpicking know-it-all :P
