Yeah, definitely go with Jolly Terrakion; it sort of ruins the point of being base 108 Speed if your nature puts you below positive natured base 100s. I do also recommend switching the Infernape to mixed as it functions better as a wallbreaker. I also recommend changing the item to a Life Orb...

Inclusion of no Dragon or Ice type moves is a major weakness of this team. I'm really not sure what's to stop Dragon Dance Dragonite or Salamence from walking all over you; once Ferrothorn is gone, a +1 Outrage from either of them should be able to kill pretty much everything else on your team...

Hi! I've got a couple of things. I really like your team, btw, and I think I might try it out. Anyway, I run the same Sunny Day Heatran set, but I've found that Air Balloon honestly does quite little. Usually it just gets broken. Possibly it is a better choice on this team since you only have...

Bump. Also, I'm really liking the change to Donphan. It's been going well except that I've been haxed badly down from 1300s to 1150 in a single day. That was not Donphan's fault, though. EDIT: And now I'm back up to 1302 again. That makes up for yesterday. I have been haxed an unbelievable...

Your entire team is physical and every one of them is weak to water attacks. You have major, major type imbalance. Also, since this is Dream World, you're going to have a lot of problems with TechniLoom since you have several weaknesses to Fighting moves. I'm honestly not quite sure why this is...

Not really. Just because Tran has Sunny Day does not mean that this is a Sunny Day team; Tran and maybe the dragons are the only ones who really like sun at all. This is a weatherless team, and Tran sets up the sun to cancel out the enemy's weather and for his own benefit. It goes away before...

Thank you for all of your feedback! The idea of Dragon Claw on Mence is interesting. On the one hand, being locked into Outrage has been quite interesting, but one of the major reasons I carry Draco Meteor is to hit something with a Dragon move without locking Mence into it. Also, using Dragon...

The basic premise of this team was to use a dark horse Pokemon that I really like, Gallade. The team has undergone a LOT of revision (there are not any sets that haven't been changed since I started the team), and I think I've produced a pretty good team, but I still spend much of my time on...

Pokemon Online Username: Dark Plaid Hall of Fame Standing: None yet (although I broke top 80 with this team on another alt) Dark Horse Pokemon Currently Working With: Gallade, Bisharp Current Ladder Standing: Not yet ranked

So I recently made a team using Gallade and Bisharp, which are both well under 5% in usage statistics, and started laddering on my alt account, Plaidtest. Then I found this thread, so can I register for Gallade and Bisharp?

Terrakion can't bluff scarf. It has an air balloon. You know, Gira-A functions as both a Kyogre switch-in and something to shut down the EKiller. I also am deeply in love with Specially Defensive Skarmory, which is impervious to virtually any amount of setup the EKiller can manage. Also, we...

... Except it can't touch Gira or Skarm, has issues with Ferro and Forry, can't easily kill Groudon, and has trouble with a lot of other Arceus forms... Yes, it's good, but not THAT good.

Nobody at all mentioned Overheat/Fire Blast Rayquaza? It totally shuts Ferro down. I run a rain team and I love being able to hit with Ray's Overheat because Air Lock means it's still hitting at full power. Also, if you're feeling really ballsy, you can set up on the Ferro in case it decides to...

I think Skarmory is a good choice because it stops the Extremekiller cold and otherwise resists all priority seen in Ubers. And it makes an excellent dragon resist and ground immune. It does not have the benefit of Volt Switch, but it's more durable than forry and has better typing. Also, Skarm...

Yeah, the nick was "Plaid" and I was on both Smogon and PO server (only PO because nobody plays Ubers on Smogon).
