I would like to sign up as well. VGC '09, '10, and GBU. Playstyle: often balanced, but I tend to lean towards face-paced offense. Accomplishments: I've beaten a few famous people (Earthworm, sevendeadlysins, Alaka, etc.) on PO Smogon server few weeks after release in singles. I was once 7th on...

Sadly, I have to let go of my Raikou reservation. I can say the lead (posted by SDS for 4th gen) set and Rash Calm Mind (with Aura Sphere) work well, since I did extensive testing on those 2 sets. I don't have the time to write the formal analysis, too busy with life.

Yeah sorry...... when I reserved, nothing showed up at the time from the forum search. I looked through the reservation thread (not the one in OU, in the Analyses forum) and didn't have any reservations, so I did it. Also, that Tyranitar was in Ubers forum before... not sure what happened there.

Basically, for Encourage to work, it has to have a chance of something happening separately. Critical hits can happen anyways, so it's not boosted. The status lowering and stat drops are not boosted since they happen all the time. It's not how the mechanics work, but it's the same. Is this...

^it's mostly true, but Dark Pulse has potential flinch. Technically, your argument is invalid since 2HKO with Dark Pulse Flinch is more likely to happen than Shadow Ball + Vacuum Wave with SpD drop (20% vs 10%). Agility set needs to be physical so it has higher BP moves. Close Combat does more...

http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3162533&postcount=88 I'll PM reyscarface and figure out what's going on.

I stated the reason Dark Pulse is outdated: Lati@s and Burungeru are both more specially bulky than physically. Everything you said is in Boah AC, and the real bulky version is in Choice Band set's AC.

Borutorosu does not outrun Doryuuzu in sandstorm. Dory reaches 600+ speed, while Borutorosu reaches 482 speed with Modest, 530 speed with Timid. If it was that easy to revenge Dory, it wouldn't be a problem as much as it is right now.

hmm... I will start on it tomorrow.

completely done now. I left the counters for each set, just in case.

Choice Scarf set should have Timid nature over Modest to outspeed Scarf Lati@s and tie with other Borutorosu. 111 speed is too speed tier-breaking (pre-5th standards) to not get Timid. It doesn't lose out on Skymin KO, and you're KOing Garchomp after 1 Life Orb recoil, OHKO on Salamence, and...

No Dream World Shandeera yet, and CurseTar takes too long to set up for it to be effective. If you can provide a good non-DW ladder log, then I'll consider it. I'm still skeptical about it. I have my doubts about DDTar also, so most likely I'll just remove the whole set. I'll do a little...

each set should have "Set comments" and "Additional comments" each analysis should have "Other options," "Team options," and "Counters" (Dream World is unnecessary, imo, since Drizzletoed has been released.) HP Electric or Grass should be slashed in with Hypnosis on Choice sets, since Hypnosis...

SubPlot should have Substitute / Nasty Plot / Surf / (Ice Beam / Grass Knot), just like Empoleon's 2 moves with SubPetaya. Ice Beam should be primary to hit Dragons and Grass Knot is for bulky waters. Also, Water is a fantastic offensive and defensive type (although its defenses suck). It hits...

Disregard the sets, I feel like the analysis isn't very well written. All "you" should be taken out to be a 3rd person objective writing. The writing itself isn't very formal, and it seems too casual. Also, I don't think you should be mentioning pokemon like Urugamosu and Victini in your...

I think I faced an early prototype of this team by you (with Evo Stone Chansey in it), and it was a nightmare... (I was blablahblahtest or some variant of that on PO). Scarf Skymin (or let's call it a double-scarf :P), could take out 1 pokemon with proper prediction on this team. Air Slash will...

mostly what people said, but CB Ice Shard > CS Icicle Drop. Even with Choice Scarf, you're not outspeeding Dragons not named Altaria (lol) or Dragonite. Bulky Dragonite survives on hit and can KO Mamoswine anyways. All the other dragons bar Garchomp will be actually hit by Ice Shard before...

Does CurseTar still work? Since we don't have Shadow Tag Shandeera yet, I don't think you would be trapping the Fighting types anytime soon, not to mention Fighting types can usually switch in repeatedly, being SR resistant. Also, I think Roobushin laughs at this, as you won't be doing...

Kojondo should really use Hi Jump Kick as its main Fighting type option. Also, Hidden Power Ghost is much better, since you actually get a perfect coverage with it + Hi Jump Kick. If it's being used as a mixed sweeper, Stone Edge is better, since you hit Flying pokemon harder. Reversal set is...

Chople Berry isn't necessary, since Tar will always survive Vacuum Wave from Specs Lucario, assuming no entry hazard. But it may be a good idea, since there are Scarfed fighters and Roopushin. I'll add that. Life Orb seems unnecessary. Will be removed. Focus sash is not the optimal choice...
