Hello! I've been playing around with a lot of offense cores, and found that hyper offense is definitely my style. It hasn't been the same as the old Deoxys-Bisharp-Aegislash core days, and I feel that bird-spam requires more set up than it lets on. So, I have combined several cores into one - a...

Replace Frenzy Plant with Leaf Storm, and this is basically what the ladder is going to look like soon. Anyway, with the release of Contrary Serperior, I really wanted to try a team centering around it. Serperior can crush through most defensive cores after a +2 from one Leaf Storm, but because...

(Yep) Hello Smogon! I am da gold sun, and the last rate I did was 5 months ago. I often ladder under other names, such as "sugah boi," "big fat m" or "big fat CAW" depending on the team. I have a difficult time sticking with one team unless it has a certain flavor I enjoy, such as using...

I was inspired by Smogon post I saw a few weeks back on Facebook saying that the new wombo-combo in OU was, in fact, Flying type. After all the Drag-mag and multiple fighting type offensive cores from Gen V, the new Fairy type really put a hindrance on dragon/fighting/dark offensive cores. So, I...

A few months ago, I got back into competitive OU play. That time I had played prior to that, Kyurem-B had recently been deemed OU friendly, and Genesect was sent to Ubers. With Keldeo legal, and several storm-genies banned/unbanned, I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into. This team has...

Hi Smogon! It's been a while. I've been on and off a while, mostly lurking in the past few months, checking in on the metagames now and then to see what I've missed. I came back a few days ago to see what BW2 had brought with the English release, since the last time I played it was all Therian...

With the recent advent of Pokelab's UU ladder option (and Pokelab itself, what a fine system that is!), I decided to try one more time at the UU metagame. Before, I hadn't really gotten too far into UU, but this time I decided to base a team off of my favorite pokemon, Sceptile. The mixed set...

So I've been using this team for a while now, and I've really grown to like its style. However, I believe it could use the great advice Smogon has to offer here. Roserade (M) @ Focus Sash Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Sleep Powder - Toxic Spikes -...

So I've been trying out the platinum changes, and they are quite awesome. I can't do pictures right now since I have to go to bed soon, but I've netted a win streak with this team so far. Here ya go Claydol @ Choice Scarf Ability: Levitate EVs: 162 HP/96 Atk/252 Spd Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)...

Mmmm yes, this is a team based off of early killings, Sceptile, and residual damage to slowly yet surely kill the opponent off. Gimmicky? Maybe. Does it work? Yes. Does it need some help? Yeaaaah. Credit to aragornbird and arkeis.com for these amazing pictures! Honchkrow (M) @ Focus Sash...

This is the team I've been using all day on the Suspect Test ladder. I love it more than anything; it really is a nicer metagame with game breaking threats gone. I think I've won every game but one so far with this team, and I've been playing for several hours. (o hai I'm filler!)...

Alright, this team has probably netted me the most wins (I only win 50% of the time, nonetheless) and it's definately been the most fun team I've had. Finally decided to make a RMT on it, so here we go. Roserade (M) @ Focus Sash Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk Timid nature...

I believe this is the right forums. So I got some pretty nice stuff for Christmas, including lots of iPod realted stuff, DDR (I could use the excersise and the girls my age LOVE DDR too), and a nice assortment of Wii games. However, my tradition is to go out and buy stuff I didn't get or...

Testing my recent team of awesomeness, I ran into a battle in the ladder against the great executioner99. Commence Battle! EDITING FOR FONT TAGS AGH-If anyone knows how to change this please tell me, and I will edit it as required. Da Gold Sun's Omni-powerful Offense team! "E-99's"...

i sorta took a break from D/P so heres my most recent ADV RMT. has been pretty fun Gengar (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 202 Atk / 252 Spd / 56 SAtk Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Focus Punch - Ice Punch - Substitute - Thunderbolt Enough Atk to 2hko Blissey with FP. takes out pesky flying...

OTHER TEAM THIS TIME! Because only Misty (thanks Misty) responded my other, more boring, RMt. its a bit more fun, and i like it a lot better. I SUCK on EV spreads, so if u could help me a bit here? if D/P was on NB with damage calc i could probably coem up with some, cuz i dunno how u guys do it...

well idk how u guys set up ur D/P future teams so well, like in NB style, so I'll give it a try. My team revolves around Infernape and confusing the opponent into switching a lot into Spikes or Stealth Rock. OFFENSE Infernape@ Life Orb?----LEAD Max Speed, rest in (more so)Attack and special...

I made this guide on microsoft, so here it is. I said id make it in one of the sticky threads. This is long, so bear with me! Using UU or NU Pokemon in the OU Metagame ADV Version Are you sick and tired of using Snorlax/Blissey/Regice on your standard team? Well, maybe it’s time you took a...
