There's more to pokemon than OKHOs and 2HKOs. Maybe that extra 11% damage increase is enough to knock their Kyogre down just to 12.4% where it can no longer sacrificially switch in to your specs Latios's Draco Meteor and cause the SpA drop, letting you spam it freely later. OKHOs matter! But...

Regenerator Motor Drive Unburden Water Absorb Intimidate Sand Rush

I know I said I was done plugging Regenerator, but I am reneging to address Pwnemon's questions directly. By using Regenerator, I actually think that we can exploit our movepool to avoid status and phazing, specifically Substitute. Substitute prevents Dragon Tail and all forms of status from...

In defense of Regenerator: I disagree. In football, a decent passing game makes the running game easier. If they know you'll throw the ball every time, then they can much more easily shut you down. I think that's analogous to CAP 6. By making switching better, we make the Drum better, simply...

I agree with Nyttyn's post thoroughly! I have an alternate solution however. I'm a huge fan of Regenerator. There seems to be two basic schools of thought: make your sweep better (unburden, gluttony) or make setup easier (motor drive, thick fat, limber). I think that there's a powerful...

Metagross is your only ground-resist, and even that is taken out once his balloon is popped. I'd suggest swapping out your Cofagrigus for a Substitute/Disable Gengar: something like Gengar @ leftovers Timid 4 Hp / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Substitute Disable Focus Blast Shadow Ball Gengar...

Dragons didn't really get many new toys to play with this generation. Aside from Dragon Tail and Dual Chop (Double Chop), they didn't get any new moves, and two of the new dragons introduced have deleterious secondary typings that add additional weaknesses without adding anything to overcome...

Hey! I have a team that's working pretty well, but needs a little bit of work. There are a few redundancies in it, but it seems to be unorthodox enough to work. Without further ado, here is the team! And now, the in-depth looks. Lead Salamence @ Life orb Rash [+Spe, -SpD] Intimidate...
