Although I love Toucannon, even its main niche (the Beak Blast set) is almost useless since Sun/Moon introduced the new item Protective Pads. Quoting Serebii: "An item to be held by a Pokémon. These pads protect the holder from effects caused by making direct contact with the target." I don't...

I'm sorry to tell you that the combination of Lightningrod + Surf is illegal (it can't have the HA ability and a move from a Gen III event) :( I put Signal Beam > Surf to lure in Cacturne and kill it, although I find a bit situational, as a 2x Signal Beam hits slightly harder than a 2x HP Ice...

Although now I'm not home, I wanted to thank both Anty and XxSoshibaxX for both giving tips and, in Soshi's case, to face me and explain me what it can be changed :') You definitely did, and so thanks a lot for your suggestion! Unfortunately I can't really test since internet here is pretty...

What's up everybody, Dusky here, and welcome to my 2° RMT in the PU tier! After many tweaks to the previous team (the Bouffalant + Simipour one), I arrived to a dead end since the number of loss increased while the win counter stayed still: thus, I decided to change my team. Hope you enjoy :)...

Hey guys, I tried this offensive core a while ago, and so far I'm 27-16 (probably because I suck but whatever...), hope you can use it and have success :) Bouffalant @ Assault Vest / Choice Band Ability: Sap Sipper / Reckless EVs: 160 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 92 Spe Adamant Nature - Return /...

Although I admit I didn't play LC very often, I'm just thinking about a defensive core that cover well each other: and these guys share amazing synergy type-wise. However, take it carefully, as there may be major flaws I don't see because of my inexperience. Onix @ Berry Juice Level: 5...

No problem :)

Thanks The Jungle Fox for your tips and suggested changes :) I'll try 'em when I'll have a more stable wifi. Changes on Bouffalant are ok, and I'll see if I need the power of Hydro Pump, or a more safe option like Surf. As for Armaldo and Ariados, I think they have to go and be replaced by...

[Uhm, we're on Smogon which is a competitive community, this must be a troll post.] If it wasn't, here is my explanation: The difference between Adamant and Jolly is 31 points in Attack, obviously (Adamant 350, Jolly 319). Actually, these 31 points in Atk were the "power loss" I was talking...

If you don't know this man, you're too young, my friend. We are not trash! What's up guys, Dusky here and welcome to my 2° RMT! This time I started with a tier that many players may ignore, the PU: PU stands for nothing, it may be Poorly Used, Partially Used, or simply an exclamation of...

Mh actually no: looking at your team and excluding Probo for a sec, I see: -Overheat on Zebstrika -Superpower/Low Kick on the Dragons -Focus Miss Focus Blast on Mr.Mime So if you are scared by Steel-type, you can sleep quietly, as you have enough coverage for them, there's no need to trap and...

Hey I met you today on SD :D (I was the one with CB Bouffalant and AgiliPass Ariados lol) Anyway, nice team structure: I really appreciated the Healing Wish from Mr.Mime on the <10% burned Fraxure, that was a very cool move ;) Actually, non-Sturdy AND non-Shuca/Chople/Air Balloon Probopass is a...

Actually Specs Exploud sounded (no pun) unappealing to my mind, since it lacks some sort of Speed to profit from its 140 Base Power STAB move that goes through Substitutes and Ghosts without drawbacks: while the Scarf variant I tried lacks power and has to rely on opposing frailty/low HP, it...

I recently started playing in RU, so take what I say carefully because I might be bad I don't have a lot of experience that other more notable players have. While battling on SD, I met many Dugtrios here and there, and yes it can be painful to face. It has one of the highest Speed in the tier...

Take Azelfie I tried your mods, and I can say this: -I'm bad at using Scarf Brav, but when it hits it kills -Offensive TR Diancie is a lil gem (no pun intended), escpecially when the opponent is left with 2 fast Pokémon which are frail/weak to Rock-Fairy-Ground combo/can't actually damage...
