My personal grievance lies with the giant lists of calculations being used as proof that Landorus can beat all of its checks. That kind of evidence is extremely impractical. Many of those defensive checks take very little, or are actually immune, to two of Landorus' three attacking moves on a...

I really think people planning to vote ban have exaggerated the power of Landorus, even in the context of Landorus-Keldeo-Tyranitar. It's a strong team, but it requires a strong player and is by no means unbeatable. I had no outstanding trouble with Landorus or that team composition on the...

Landorus-I: Do Not Ban

Reqs on both ladders -

Hopefully I lose a few more battles while lowering my variation for the suspect test. I'm #1 by a decent margin, but I'm really not that good and would get dismantled by more consistently high ranked players.

Super Singles 98 streak. Lucario @ Focus Sash "MELEE SPAM" Adamant 4/252/0/0/0/252 Inner Focus - Close Combat - Crunch - Extreme Speed - Swords Dance Gyarados @ Leftovers "EZEvryTime" Adamant 252/252/0/0/4/0 Intimidate - Waterfall - Ice Fang - Dragon Dance - Dragon Tail Garchomp @ Choice...

I broke my own super single personal record (70) with a new 74 win record. My team is very similar to the previous team I used, which was fully described in this post. http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3769143&postcount=595 Team changes to achieve slightly higher record (although...

I'm pretty sure Darmanitan2 (life orb with flare blitz and superpower) would cause an almost guaranteed loss if it was the opponent's lead. Unless the calculations are different than my expectations, Darmanitan2 will be faster a ferrothorn, chansey, AND eelektross, and even worse than that...

The way you describe this strategy makes it sound extremely weak to any team with fast/priority-using/sturdy physical attackers as the 2nd and 3rd pokemon. Calm Mind does not boost your speed or physical defense, so you can easily be out-sped or have a pokemon survive a hit due to sturdy/sash...

At level 50, 31 IVs account for 15.5 stat points, which is then rounded down to 15. But if you then add 4 EVs to a stat, which is 1 point at level 100 and .5 stat points at level 50, you round out the number to 16. So, at level 50, if you have 31 IVs in defense and special defense, you only...

Hooray for cutting 70! By 0. But I hit 70! Gyarados "IdrA" (Because it starts most of my matches with Taunt) @ Leftovers Intimidate Adamant 252hp/252atk/4speed 23/13/22/x/30/23 (Wow, those are lazy IVs even by my low standards) -Waterfall -Return -Taunt -Dragon Dance I open with this to get...

I hit 57 wins running Focus sash Lucario, scarf garchomp, and a lefties DDance Gyarados with taunt. Having only physical attackers with no status effects or recovery and a lot of pretty fragile pokemon is weird, but it works a lot of the time. I really have trouble against pokemon that I can...
