It's not about not dealing with DARKs, it's about not limiting yourself, as I wrote. And preserving the time - on some occassions he may be forced to avoid pushing the button on Reuniclus solely because DARK mon is still there, extending a possibly 5 minutes battle to 20 minutes. And like every...

I like some coverage move without immunities on double dance Reuniclus. Since it's not like Magic Guard Clef - you are boosting Special Attack alongside Defences - any move with respectable BP will hit hard enough. Full setup Reuniculus can 6-0 some teams if they aren't prepared, while version...

I really don't like lack of defensive swith-ins. Basically the only thing that can take the attack is Pelipper and not really, as it has relatively poor defences and you don't want it to die and loose Rain. It's like you set-up Rain, then bring out threat after the threat. If they respond with...

Scarf Kart isn't that big of a problem with bulky Torn. Tornadus can take a hit and OHKO with Hurricane in return. You don't need a dedicated mon. The problem with your team is that Torn is the only defensive tool here, so it gets worn out quickly, meaning, it can't be so safe against Kart...

Even Rain requires some defences. Ferrothorn is almost a staple. At first glance your team is just "set Rain, bring out the attacker, let it die, bring another one, let it die, repeat till win or loose". You don't switch into hits, except with Tornadus, but even Torn won't leave forever, is weak...

Imho Rocks are essential to every Mawile team, since this residual damage is what helps +2 Maw to sweep. With Mawile I always preferred hazard stack approach, because if you manage to weaken the threats winning is just a matter of bringing out Maw at the right time. For this reason, even though...

Taunt is best at Tornadus in this set (and basically it's one of the best Taunter in the game), as it's fast and bulky enough not to care about damaging moves. It can also 2HKO Ferrothorn with Z, which is the main target for Taunt nowadays. I'd either replace Knock Off with it or switch Defog...

What is exactly the resoning behind Thundurus? I mean, I understand its purpose, but why Thundurus? It's neither the fastest or the hardest hitting one of similar mons. If you want a relatively fast, hard hitting Specially offensive Z-User, then why not Blacephalon/Gengar/Greninja/Volc?

Yup, I know this and for past few days I was extensively testing Thorn instead Mag. But I found few issues with my build: Lack of slow VolTurn was a pain. Yes, I put the U-Turn on Tornadus to still have 2 U-Turners, but Torn is fast. That meant U-Turning into my sweepers was exposing them to a...

Yes, I did, however in Zoroark I see 3 main advantages: 1) Sucker Punch. After Counter, no matter if I go with Zam or Zoroark, the next thing that comes out is something faster to finish it. Zam will just die, Zoroark, while most likely dying too, will still do some damage in return. In other...

Thank you for your advice! I really don't like dropping Taunt. I may not have Spikes or a Scarfer on every team, but if there's something I want to have on pretty much every single one of them, as long as it's not HO, it's Taunt for sure. It's also another way to check Hazards. I may however...

Hi Guys! Presenting a kinda standard Rain Team with one unusual Pokemon. Please, before closing the thread as "another casual team" hear me out and read the reasoning behind Zoroark. She really is here for a purpose and not just for style points. Pelipper (F) @ Damp Rock Ability: Drizzle...

And how is you Rain match-up? It looks like Mega-Pert/Specs Kingdra can sweep you almost alone. Just bring one of them out in Rain and click buttons - everything dies. Ironically, apart from Thorn, Peliper, which in fact helps opposing team, is the only member of the squad that can live a hit...
