IVs: 2 Atk / 30 Def / 30 SAtk / 30 SDef / 2 Spd (IVs are recommended by Smogon)

This thing is a real monster, thanks to it's great typing and multiple resists its not very hard for it to get up a Rain Dance, and it's pretty hard to stop once it does. Whenever I face a Hail team and I'm using a team with RD Kingdra I will always keep it alive until I've killed Abomasnow and can get up a Rain Dance.Kingdra @ Life Orb

If you want something with Stealth Rock, Azelf will probably be your best bet, since it's very fast, much faster than Mew. Not only can it use Stealth Rock, but Taunt to make sure other leads don't get Stealth Rock down on your side of the field. An interesting alternative might be Aerodactyl, which also has Stealth Rock and Taunt, and very high speed.I'm talking about a pokemon that has stealth rock for one of it's moves and the the rest attacking moves (maybe taunt if it's worth it). Would mew/azelf/froslass be the best or some other pokemon?
Milotic is comparable to Slowking, both of them are specially defensive, have great natural spAtk and have access to instant recovery as well as Dragon Tail.When people talk about bulky Water-types in UU, they often mention that Milotic isn't worth using above the others. Are there good points for using Milotic, or should I just replace her?
Milotic is outclassed most of the time, but it has a couple of perks that make it sometimes worth using. For one, it has reliable recovery and a pure Water-typing, so if you are looking for something not Pursuit / U-turn weak and with recovery outside of Rest, then it could be useful to your team.When people talk about bulky Water-types in UU, they often mention that Milotic isn't worth using above the others.

what's the difference between these two? sorry if it's a dumb question.Heavy Offense (as in, early-game set up of screens or hazards, then sweepers) is probably the least potent form of offense.
Standard offense (basically a bunch of offensive mons that break down each other's counters and try to not give any momentum away) is effective...
While I'm not totally sure what kokoloko was referring to specifically, I can try (note: try) to explain what (I think) he means.hi, there! earlier on in the thread...
