I believe a 0 speed IV brave Scizor should be able to outspeed anything neutral natured with a base speed of 58 or higher (Scrafty, Rampardos, Swampert, Empoleon, Abomasnow, Magnezone, Jellicent, Tyranitar (that could be helpful) and Vaporeon).

I'm just curious about Reuniclus with Trick Room. I'm guessing your goal is to keep Reuniclus in or switch to Metagross or Ferrothorn while its still up? Or is Trick Room really just a situational thing? I feel like Recover will be sorely missed. And one just kind of nitpick thing, but could...

Thanks for the input, backflip. I could simply try both hold items and see which one works. Not a major change really. I forgot about Ferrothorn (and how it could potentially annihilate Tyranitar and Rhyperior), so Focus Blast it is. And thanks to everyone who has made suggestions so far! I...

I'm not sure what your thoughts on him are, but Garchomp might be a good substitute for Scizor. It wouldn't have to worry much about Heatran (or other threatening fire attacks) and it gets a boost from your Sandstorm already. The only issues I can think of is the loss of priority and that it...

Thanks Calcifer, I suspect you're right about Bronzong. I will make that change for sure (Magnezone's Flash Cannon can hit the very few things weak to Steel anyway). The Sash sounds like a good suggestion as well; I can always switch between those items to see what works best.

Thanks Wobb. I've never used RNG and doing a quick glance of the posts here on it, I have to admit I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. I'll have to do some more reading on the subject.

Yeah, HP Fire is looking more and more useful as I think about it...RNG manipulation suddenly doesn't sound so bad. I honestly hadn't thought of using Psychic on Cofagrigus. That really makes much more sense since I have Crunch on Tyranitar anyway. I was debating Escavalier for a long time...

Ok, good call on Protect. I'm new to Trick Room, so I'll have to learn to micromanage my turns. I checked out your thread (brilliant Excadrill by the way) and it seems we have some different problems, but do you find you have to set up Sandstorm again frequently? How do you keep Tyranitar around?

Edits in BOLD Hi everyone! I've been using (read: lurking) Smogon for about a year and now that Gen 5 is out, I figure I might as well get some advice on my ideas. I'm seeing the Sandstorm/Trick Room idea more frequently lately. It seems like a fun idea even if it doesn't have the best track...
