It's funny that you mention this now, because I just lost a battle today due to not having a good answer for Bisharp. I'll start by experimenting with movesets rather than outright changing a member of the team just to counter Bisharp, since any roster change is bound to open up new holes for me...

Thanks for the praise VanguardSoul, it makes me feel good to hear some affirmation of my teambuilding skills! I hadn't really thought about it before, but considering it now I do often feel compelled to keep Aegislash in after Swords Dancing, which is counterproductive to the idea of a...

So I started playing the XY meta yesterday, and I thought I'd start with something that is both familiar and fairly simple to use. To that end, what better choice is there than VoltTurn? I admit though, the biggest reason I wanted to make a VoltTurn team wasn't for easing myself into the meta...

I'm restricting myself to Hoenn pokes.

Too fast. Trick Room team, remember?

Thanks for the responses guys. I know normally there would be many superior pokemon to use over Gardevoir, but I'm making a Hoenn-only team for fun (its actually shaping up pretty well) and I needed a good user of Heal Pulse to provide recovery to Dusclops, Camerupt (for Eruption) and Wailord...

Is Gardevoir viable on a Trick Room team, or is it simply too fast?

You're the man.

Thank you once again tlyee! I'll be sure to check out NuggetBridge. That's actually where I learned how to do RNG abuse, so I already have some experience with the site. Testing update: Most of the changes, such as Thunderbolt on Rotom and Substitute on Heatran, have been going very well...

Thanks for letting me know about the Defiant Tornadus. I actually should have known that Dream Radar support isn't up for RNG Reporter yet, because I use it too. Anyways, thanks again for the rate, and I don't think Defiant Tornadus will even be a problem because I'll probably end up using that...

Thank you for the very in-depth rate! I'll be sure to try out these changes. I'm especially interested in the idea of replacing Thunder Wave with Thunderbolt on Rotom, and of course experimenting more with EV's. I'm hesitant to replace Icicle Crash with Icicle Spear because of the consistancy...

Mamoswine + Rotom-W is the best pairing I have used in VGC thus far (feel free to post another great one if you want), and so I decided to build a team using this duo as my core. I think started brainstorming other things which every good VGC team needs, and I came up with the following list...

I'm certainly no expert, but it seems to me that even with Tyranitar there to counter opposing weathers, you are somewhat weak to rain teams. Tyranitar and Volcarona both fall easily to Surf/Muddy Water/Hydro Pump/Scald, and most rain teams will have a Thunder abuser which can decimate Gyarados...

Could I get a checklist for the basic things that every goodstuffs team should have on it? I'm trying to build my first VGC team.

Skarm is definitely counter #1, but building a set specifically designed to bypass Skarm seems wasteful, since it prevents Gliscor from filling other important roles and if you really want to get rid of Skarmory, you could just use Magnezone or something. I think we'd be better off trying to...

The OP has me a bit confused. Are we only going to be looking at OU pokes, or pokes from all tiers?

I really doubt that Amon and Tarrlok are related at all. The writers just have no reason to do that, seeing as how there's already plenty of depth to both of them. It would just make things confusing. I don't mean to be mean, that's just my two cents.

I don't care what people say about Ford or American cars in general, I'm a Mustang guy. It's been my favorite car since the first time I saw one when I was 9 years old. I drive a V6 right now, but my dream car is the GT350.

I'm half-expecting the Equalists to bust Korra out of her truck prison, since Tarrlok is becoming such a big threat to their cause. A "we have a common enemy" moment will occur, and they'll forge a temporary alliance to take him down. It kinda makes sense to me since the writers made the...

Nailed it. Did not expect Tarrlok to be a bloodbender though. Was the guy in Korra's vision his father or something?
