Thanks guys, I'll be sure to test these things out properly, although the breloom seems to have made a pretty big difference after a tiny bit of testing, same goes for the latios, may keep those changes when I've come up against a bit more variety with them. The landorus is seeming to be easily...

So after a considerable amount of time of messing about with things in this generation and finding somethings that worked and some things that didn't I found that one thing was always going to be a problem for any team I created. Weather. So I decided to form a team that used weather itself, but...

Like this one? I know HP is usually grass on heatran but having the HP ice in magnezones slot was essential to my team working well against dragons. Heatran (M) @ Air Balloon Trait: Flash Fire EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Fire Blast - Earth Power -...

Defensive threats: Alomomola - Magnezone can't be toxic stalled and can 2HKO with thunderbolt Blissey - Secret sword does physical damage from keldeo, so it's a gonner Bronzong - HP fire galore Specs latias 3HKOs but bronzong won't kill it in 2 Celebi - again with HP fire latias, or HP ice...

Offensive threats: Aerodactyl - Easily defeated by any of numerous ice or water attacks, specifically from Latias or Magnezone assuming the balloon hasn't been popped. Archeops - This is in the same boat as aero really. Azelf - Latias can take most of it's possible movepool and can respon...

umad? (Roserade) (F) @ Focus Sash Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Leaf Storm - Hidden Power [Fire] - Toxic Spikes - Sleep Powder A typical roserade lead designed to set up toxic spikes and probably get a sleep in too. Simply sleep on first turn and...

Excadrill has higher stats than rain abusers, plus it is normally running SD which it can get in if the switch is good, which if anyone with any sense is using it, it will be. Meaning that actually, it gets a +2 boost on it's moves, STAB or not, rather than the +1 boost that rain simulates on...

true, however it should be understood that seems as all fully evolved pokemon are banned in the NFE tier also, the system is extremely similar, and the testing done in the NFE tier to find things such as electabuzz kadabra magneton chansey magmar porygon2 etc as broken in the game are going to...

The ambipom actually does a hell of a lot more than people think, really unless they have a bulky resistance as they're lead (e.g. Gross) it does a good 20-40% goes almost to 50 with frailer anti leads like azelf, and their sash is also gone. I tried azelf previously and found that it couldn't...

Normally when I rate teams I go through all of the pokemon there and say what I like and what I would change, but on this team, the individuals don't seem to have a problem, however the team is very strage. What you seem to have done is got a Hail team and then made some changes to get rid of...

Forretress- It's a standard forretress lead that I used when I had a mono bug team and I found it very effective, although you really have to watch for anti-leads as they tend to taunt you and then switch to a ghost knowing what you will do. Ninjask- I find protect to be very helpful on ninjask...

Jirachi- this lead is very interesting, i'm not so sure about pure offense EVs on it, it could perhaps be a bit more defensive for stall, but if it works, keep it. I'm liking the aspects of the set, it would be interesting to see how it works Swampert- standard stalling set, I have seen so many...

Machamp- I like this anti-lead a lot and have had much success with machamp. I usually run Encore though as it forces switches after leads set up rocks, will will solve your swampert problem. Due to Machamps lacking speed, the encore will go second on almost anything meaning you can have a bit...

I am quite liking this team. Swampert- Good to see a lead that someone has planned on surviving! I can't believe how many suicide leads I have seen, it's pretty standard, simple, effective should do well. Skarmory- not much to say, it's standard, although i don't know what those speed EVs are...

I tend to agree about the EVs on the Uxie, they should be more defensive, and those Speed EVs are unlikely to actuclly help you. Ohter than that your lead looks good, I've seen them before, they are effective. Although why is it yawning? I would have thought you want it out of there not staying...

The heatran leads looks solid, simple but effective and what you expect from a heatran, it's good, as for the switching to stop the sleep, i don't see so much of it but it's always nice to be prepared for everything, I like it On the gyarados, i often found when i ran bounce that the turn...
