I'm tearing up right now... I am literally this close to finishing Black and then I learn of this; heartbreaking. But I need the GTS and Characteristics, so still helpful.

No, It tells you when you have mold breaker, except now it shows up even more obviously. It's very nice when you're catching Kibago :)

***To add to some hype Doryuuzu is, like a few things, slightly wicked. The Sand Throw ability is oe of the best things about it, too: It is nearly Revenge-Proof. However, I can't let this thing go un-countered for 7 pages. Birijion http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/640.shtml is my favorite...

This is a combination of awesome and unfortunate. On the one hand, we now have an even deeper layer of prediction required. You have to be ready for when the counters come at all times, and know what and what they don't have a counter too. On the other hand, this will totally rip into...

I wouldn't, especially on an all-out attacker; Celebi, Dusknoir and Starmie take more from Dark Pulse than from Dragon Pulse. The secondary Flinching can also help.

Why are we talking about these stats? It's all about the name people. Sazando. SAZANDO. Say that out loud. Now look at it. It's OU by appearance. On a serious note, Sazando gets the ability to come in on most Ghosts, Psychics, Fire and Grass types, attack and then retreat from the opponent's...

Wow, this is the first time I've been excited about Pokemon in months, I'm definitely going to compete!

*Completely ignoring Cresselia does very well at stopping LO Outrage and Draco Meteor, and only needs a Calm nature(325 SpDef) to never be 2HKOed by Specs Draco Meteor. It can also switch into a NewMixMence set using Draco Meteor with Stealth Rock, and assuming no Dragon Dance beforehand can...

How do you get rid of Skarmory? Forretress? Scizor? Jirachi(Especially Scarfed)? Gengar? Because of the Poke you're trying to set up, these things need to go. Magnezone is practically needed on the team, to get rid of these Pokes. Blissey doesn't survive a +1 DD from Salamence unless it...

While I understand your position, you shouldn't start an RMT like this; especially considering that you're in the RMT section. The team has trouble with Gyarados, be they BulkyGyara or Offensive. Bulky variants have more opportunities to come in on Flygon, Heatran and Lucario, however, set up a...

Azelf weak? I've seen only one since returning, but Scheme Azelf can OHKO the whole team, and only Togekiss can take a hit after a Scheme, although yours will be OHKOed by Schemed Psychic after Stealth Rock a good amount of the time. A Snorlax, be it CurseLax, All-Out Offense or ReStalk can...

The team has a lot of trouble with mixed sweepers. MixApe(With Grass Knot), MixMence/MixNite, Gengar and even uncommon stuff like LOKingdra can plow through your team. Unfortunately, there is no blanket counter to these various Pokemon and Rotom won't OHKO any of them. The easiest to replace...

The team seems to lack a purpose. You have quite a few potential wall-breakers, as Jirachi can Trick its Scarf onto a Hippowdon or Swampert, and a MixNite to break down common SkarmBliss walls, but your Empoleon and Breloom lack paralysis support for late-game and your Weavile is Revenge-Killing...

I enjoy OU the most, and have dwelled in UU and Ubers but simply cannot get into them. OU has the most steady source of players, a nice learning curve and it has the coolest Pokes, IMO (ie. Tyranitar>Aggron). Of course, there is no "best". I probably have an attachment to OU since I started in...

Nice battle, I enjoyed reading it and it made me want to go play a team with Magnezone(That and a few RMT teams are weak to it). I didn't see any "dumb" moves, and honestly people make mistakes. The overpredictions are always nice to see take place, as it shows both of you were thinking. GG...

Be advised that Rotom is often switching into Machamp and therefore is probably taking ~50% on the switchin from an oft-predicted Payback, meaning you will have to work very carefully around Machamp. Also beware of Magnezone: a substituting+3 attacks one can get through Tyranitar after...

Playing on the ladder a bit, it seems the absence of Salamence has balanced the Metagame a little. Certain sets are usable again, Ice Beam is a little less prevalent and less Scizor/more Dragonite(!) is nice for a little variety. It does remind me of one thing mentioned in ADV OU: This is on...

You can easily replace Latias with Choice Specs Salamence, and while it will become a fad sooner than we think, for now it is unexpected and brutal. It also has less of an issue with Pursuit users. The switch to Salamence also allows easier prediction when switching into some physical attackers...

I played this team earlier today, I'm not sure if it was you or not, and I can't even remember if I won or not(I had a Nidoqueen lead: PM if it was you), but it was remarkably balanced, able to stall and attack rather well. Because of it's stallish nature, only unorthodox sweepers such as a...

Zapdos needs legal IVs with Hidden Power, and Latias should be removed completely. The following IVs are necessary for each Hidden Power type with the given natures, assuming all other IVs are 31 (or odd): Hidden Power Grass Modest: 26 Atk / 30 SpA Timid: 2 Atk / 30 SpA Calm: 26 Atk / 30 SpA...
