Hey Rising Dusk, sorry, but I made another detection in another page, and I made an edit to my original post.

*edit*

Also, I took a look at the Arcanine Physical Life Orb page, and saw that the error was not fixed. I don't want to be an arrogant prude, but does the change delay at times?

On that set the EVs add up to 512 breaking the 510 limit.

I can only make the change, not cache it. When it gets cached, then it shows up on-site.

The Smog issue #11 (http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue11/tcg_vs_shoddy):

Or Neo Revelation Lugia. Three different Energy types required for an attack, and they all end up in the discard. Broken, yes, but not in a good way.

The image linked for NR Lugia (http://pokebeach.com/scans/neo-revelation/20-lugia.jpg) doesn't require 3 different energy types.

The Smog issue #11 (http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue11/weaknesses):

In the context of OU battle, players considering Umbreon, Uxie, Cresselia, Bronzong, Ambipom and others all have to ask themselves the same question: What exactly do I do when Scizor switches in?

I suspect this word shouldn't be capitalized.

 

[Banedon]

The Smog issue #11 (http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue11/weaknesses)

Note that if the pixies use U-turn against a slower opponent, it will hit for double power.

U-turn doesn't hit for double power if used against a slower opponent.

 

[Banedon]

The Smog issue #11 (http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue11/featured_pokemon_uber):

On a stall team, where Giratina-O also can call home, it is even more necessary, as are Spikes and Toxic Spikes.

I think this should be "which Giratina-O can also call home".

 

[McToodles]

The Smog issue #11 (http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue11/underrated_movesets)

Substitute has too functions for the set: to allow Jirachi to scout the opponent's switches, and to enable it to effectively Toxic stall.

I assume the word "two" was meant here. Just a small nitpick.

 

[The Cicada]

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/seviper On sevipers page, it mentions how defense evs help it have more durabillity, but there are no defense evs on that set.

 

[TheMusicMan]

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/abra

The Sub Abra set has surprisingly few counters. One of the best would be Munchlax, who isable to shake off a couple of Abra's hits and kill it with any of its attacks.

Very beginning of the Counters section (needs a space in between).

Team Options

Registeel lacks reliable recovery, so it greatly benefits from Pokémon with Wish support. Being able to regain lost HP has become even more important for Registeel since Mismagius got Nasty Plot, Alakazam turned up in UU, and Raikou re-entered UU. Registeel has to take a beating if it takes on Mismagius, Raikou, and Alakazam, and since they are often used alongside each other, Registeel will often be left as death fodder. Umbreon, Clefable, and Chansey are great Wish passers with pretty good bulk. However, they all have a Fighting-type weakness, so make sure you have that covered with other Pokémon. All three also have Heal Bell, which any Rest variant of Registeel will appreciate.

This is an error, since Raikou's been in BL for some time now. Now that I think about it, I suppose that Registeel's analysis is in need of an update anyhow.

 

[Banedon]

The Mismagius page (http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/mismagius):

Mismagius can play the standard set up sweeper role effectively as well. Bring Mismagius in on one of its immunities or on a Pokémon it directly threatens, then Calm Mind on the switch. After a single Nasty Plot with Life Orb, Mismagius will be hitting approximately 2.6x as hard as it normally would be, allowing it to muscle its way past the bulkier Pokémon in UU.

Should be Nasty Plot.

I'm not sure if this goes here or the other thread, but in the Team Options section it mentions OU teammates in the UU section.

I feel like that should either be removed or moved into the appropriate area.

This one (http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2984181&postcount=37) is being addressed with the Registeel update that is in-progress. There's a lot about that analysis that needs fixing.

In the last sentence, there is a missing word in this segment: "If you still find competitive unappealing...." I think it should say "competitive battling," but whatever word was originally intended needs to go there.

The link to the move Sludge Bomb is spelled Sludge Bombe instead of Sludge Bomb.

 

[Maestrol55]

From the last sentence of VGC Team Analysis, in The Smog Issue #11

If you would like to learn how to play on a simulator instead of a DS, there is a working doubles simulator called If you would like to learn how to play on a simulator instead of a DS, there is a working doubles simulator called Pokémon Online.

Probably not big, but I see that the same thing is almost repeated twice.

[aVocado]

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/blastoise/

I found this in the Choice Specs set for Blastoise.

If you don't like how Blastoise drags matches, perhaps you should give this set a shot. With some good prediction you can actually hurt things thanks to Choice Specs. Hidden Power Electric takes out Mantine and Gyarados. Hidden Power Grass covers Quagsire and Lanturn more effectively (although Focus Blast does some decent damage to both of them, if it hits), but leaves you almost helpless against the Water/Flying-types. Earthquake, despite running off a mere 181 Attack on this set, still leaves a nice dent in Lanturn and Toxicroak.

Gyarados is OU, while Blastoise is UU..

Secondly, how well does the Pokémon stand up to frequent switching.

There should be a question mark at the end of the sentence, not a period.

[The Cicada]

i am not sure if this is suppose to be here or not, but there are dashes after words on this one. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/carnivine

His physical movepool is incredibly limited, so type coverage on this set is poor, although after a Swords Dance, Power Whip is a powerful attack. Return stops Cacturne and Shiftry walling him and hits most Grass-, Flying-, and Fire-types for neutral damage. Crunch hits Shedinja and other Ghosts who resist Power Whip such as Drifblim, but is otherwise a poor option as a neutral Power Whip does more than a super effective Crunch. Steel-types like Mawile and Wormadam will wall you whichever attack you choose though—hence the option of Hidden Power Fire.
