i'm new to smogon but sort of intermediate in competitive play? i've only played a few matches with mates of mine but all using competitive teams. ever since Gen 4 i've been looking for a forum like this, so yeah. anyway any sort of criticism i can get i want you to give, as long as its constructive to the thread anyway.
SOOOOOO
Jolly Azelf [Levitate] @Focus Sash
4 Def/252 SpA/252 Speed
Stealth Rock
Explosion
Psychic
U-Turn
my lead, still in testing but so far on battle subway it works pretty good. SR first turn, most occasions azelf will go first, probably get ko'd so focus sash keeps it alive, and you can u-turn or explosion. u-turn to a counter for your opponent or just attack if they were setting up when you were SR'ing. then the choice is yours. this is more of a hit and run lead with maxed out speed.
Timid Gengar [Levitate] @Life Orb
4 Def/252 SpA/252 Spe
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast
Explosion
my Gengar from platinum, i still think the old moveset is one of the best, and one of the most enjoyable. i never took any joy in pain split, so the set still remains as it did last Gen. one of my favourites overall, Gengar can avoid EQ, and keep trololololing.
Adamant Ferrothorn [Iron Barbs] @Rocky Helmet
4 Atk/252 Def/252 Sp Def
Thunder Wave
Leech Seed
Power Whip
Iron Head
Tank/Physical Wall. this is how i run my ferrothorn and i love it this way, leech seed is such a boss move and thunder wave is amazing. rocky helmet and iron barbs are an amazing combo, and this is the nearly unbeatable ferrothorn. i got ferroseed early game and now i've got a pure beast, never took it out of my team.
Adamant Darmanitan [Sheer Force] @Quick Claw
4 Sp Def/252 Atk/252 Speed
Hammer Arm
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Fire Punch
this set is literally insane, counters nearly anything in OU, and in my opinion, is up there with some of the best physical sweepers. one of the best fire types anyway. good friends with heatran.
Mild Hydreigon [Levitate] @Leftovers
4 HP/252 SpA/252 Def
Flamethrower
Dark Pulse
Outrage
Surf
this thing is a beast. amazing base stats, amazing movepool, great typing. been my favourite from Gen 5 ever since the start.
