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.
It's not a common enough threat to worry about but you have stab lightning and pain-split wall as well as toxic spikes. It's a HO team and having your major stall-breaker be Talon Flame does leave you weak to water / lightning stall but the team really does rely heavily on hazards to get the...
What about Moonlight on hover duck? Lunar Dance is nice and all but with TR up, a self heal just makes the wall SO much stronger. Even a Thunder Wave because when you are walling you dont want to throw up TR, would be really nice to keep her up with a little sustain.
Man, I love this team. I've been trying to get back into OU with the latest meta and I got so bored playing Clef/Land-T/Rotom but the hyper aggressive nature of this team is exactly what I'm used to. I probably can't make a better team but after a couple of hours playing the team on showdown I...
Since it's careful natured, you probably don't want to be running it as a Sp. Attacker (+sp def, -sp atk). Though you could, it just wouldn't be as efficient as if you were to re-breed a modest one. Careful nature itself isn't too bad for Togekiss as he is usually run as more of a utility...
Two ways - You Prankster taunt it or you kill it. It's really that simple. Mega gardy, ironically destroys him because he normally carries sub/prot/shadowb/perish and not poison stab. Otherwise, you stealth rock when he subs and you EQ him with basically anything.
Just got back and read through the thread. Pointedly, I agree with AoK, prankster taunt is enormous and most people will open with defensive Pokemon that won't be running HP Ice. There are two ways to go about this - Open with vulnerable heroes and gamble with Quick Guard or just swap to...
Yep, they are going to be everywhere without Rotom/Thundorus. Already on battlespot and PS people are testing them out and I'm noticing an enormous rise in the frequency of rain team encounters.
After spending the night playing 3 different types of smeargle - Namely the following:
Kings...
Singles, Doubles, Triples.
Also, out of interest, how are the brackets going to be built (eg, double elimination, single elimination, etc, upper/lower brackets, etc)?
This is pretty much the case. The recoil from FB/BB hurts him a lot in triples and there are a huge amount of counters, not to mention him getting worn down by people simply using Protect and attacking with the other pokemon. He does have the ability to take out one or two pokemon before he...
I'd agree with rank B for Hydreigon. Not the tankiest pokemon but due to his typing he
can swap into a lot of common attacks and take 1/2x resist in addition to immuning psychic and ground (through Levitate). His Sp.Atk isn't amazing but he has a fantastic move-pool and the ability to swap...
No, I'm not maintaining it as most of the teams are at-least a few months old. Not much point building a database of teams that are being run in an out of date meta. It can take hours to map an entire team, let alone scrolling through the horrendous interface that's constantly reverting to the...
