I reached #2 on the ladder with a traditonal balanced team a few months ago when i had more time to play so I think I can say a few things on this. There are 4 major buckets of teams: defensive (ex. stall), balanced (ex. bulky offense), offensive (ex. weather offense), and gimmick (ex. baton...

absolutely the break out star of the team I use. Charizard Y, Gengar,, Krookodile form a brutal offensive core. Want an impressive fact? Impish Krookodile survives an unboosted Adaptability Aura Sphere from M-Lucario from full health and KOs in return. Also a great AV User. Aside from...

honestly I don't find m-luke that bad. I play an offensive team and when I see it I just attack it with a neutral hit. It's very frail and has a lot of common weaknesses. It will take out a pokemon, that much is guaranteed, but for me it usually dies the turn after, and it cant switch into...

with initimidate helping on physical side, good supporting attacks like pursuit or dragon tail, krook also makes a good AV User.

bulky waters are still around, it's just before you had multiple pokemon with pros and cons. Now with rotom-w, you have volt switch, Hydro pump, wow, immunity to ground, immunity to paralysis, one weakness and it's only a 2x weakness, alright recovery with painsplit, offensive presence...

drapion, works as well

lol at manaphy in UU. tail glow off 100 base speed and 100/100/100 defenses. hahaha.

It's too early to say anything about stall. Stall as a team is all about making an impenetrable piece of armor. If there is a hole, the whole thing falls apart, but if there isnt, it works beautifully. With new threats means new holes. And its much easier to use offensive pokemon, then it is...

In theory you could crit 6 times in a row with choice scarf moxie salamence. Welcome to pokemon.. I saw a gengar sweep the other day, was pretty amazing. Went through blissey and a bunch of other walls with confuse ray. 10 confuses in a row.

^ I'm not such a big fan of heatran, but haha I got to a new peak of 2277 by replacing magnezone with wobbuffet. your post was still helpful :) Wobbuffet @ Leftovers Ability: Shadow Tag EVs: 28 HP / 248 SDef / 232 Def Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Encore - Counter - Mirror Coat - Safeguard Perfect...

still the most centralizing move in the game. but it's much more manageable now with defog. it's now more like a 10 instead of a 11 on the centralizing scale.

Is there a source? Because according to this http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Knock_Off_%28move%29 there is a move tutor, in gen 4 and gen 5?

i'm never in favor of banning any non legendary pokemon. So with that context being said: M kang >>>>> M gengar. A few things I noticed people saying that I feel is wrong: Why are people using crunch with Mkang? She gets knock off, which is stronger than crunch when they carry an item, which...

landorus wasn't really working for me. He's not specially bulky enough. And the x4 weakness to ice is killer. Boltbeam is too common, and while krookodile can come in on thunderbolts, tank a non stab x2 ice beam and fire back, landorus cannot. And if I use AV, i lose stealth rock. Example...

So this is a team I made with my favorite pokemon. Charizard, Gengar, Dragonite, and Starmie. They will always be in every competitive team or variant I ever make. Fortunately for me, all my favorites have been buffed since I last played DPP. This team creates a balanced playstyle...
