Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yeah all good thanks mate! Just decided to logon to Smogon for the first time in a year or so.
Very excited for S/V, having skipped Sword and Shield and being disappointed by BDSP. I've got Scarlet on pre-order. How about you?
Is there a way to use 2D animated sprites in XY battles (and retain battle animations)?
Currently checking the 'disable animations' button reverts to 2D sprites but you lose battle animations and the sprites are static.
Hello mate. Thanks a lot, it's nostalgic to be back and playing some more. I am enjoying XY a lot more than I did BW, however it's still no Gen IV!
How are you getting on, do you play much?
When I get around to testing this team I will give a proper rate, but for now the only suggestion I can see is HP Flying > Icy Wind on Keldeo. The reason being that it stops Mega Venusaur from switching in for free. Though, granted, you lose out Vs Dragonite and the speed drop from Icy Wind can...
Thanks a lot for the suggestions Halcyon.
I'll try them out and let you know how i get on. I was thinking about adding a Defiant user to dissuade Defoggers, but wasn't sure who to settle on (even though Bisharp is clearly the runaway choice).
EDIT: Halcyon. I have been testing the changes you...
My concern with running WeakNite is that I would lose spin support and leave him vulnerable to SR. WeakNite really relies on Multiscale. Further to this he fails to 2HKO Chansey with Superpower without a boost (factoring the -1 Atk on the second hit).
252+ Atk Dragonite Superpower vs. 252 HP /...
Haha, thanks. Pretty sure that all of my old stuff is on my Photobucket still (it's like my graveyard of signatures). If I remember I'll see if I can dig it out later.
Thanks for the feedback mate.
You're probably right in saying that being so hazard heavy in a metagame full of Defog isn't the smartest approach from the outset. I'll certainly look to try Specs Latios out and amend the team if it suits.
EDIT: Looking at my weaknesses, I don't have a Taunt...

Introduction
Hello Smogon and welcome to my first RMT. With the introduction of new Pokemon, mega evolutions and game mechanics in Generation VI, it was hard knowing where to start when I thought about building my first competitive team in over 4 years. So instead of...
