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.
Then, with april's usage stats out, when can we expect to see the tiers updated?
From what I understand, pokémon such as Gardevoir, Manectric, and Smeargle should be OU and Volcarona and magnezone should drop to UU.
Is that right?
Thank you!
I have tested your changes, and I agree with everything bar the Aromatisse change. I miss a proper special wall, and I feel this hampers my playstyle a little too much. :)
Oh boy that's a LOT to put in a description.
I'm somewhat of a newbie, so usually my EV spread is "max respective attack, max HP or Speed". This applies to pretty much anything.
Knock-off baiting has worked, and I usually have Krookodile handle slowbro, but I haven't faced a Suicune as of yet...
I see.
I'll change up Mienshao's moves ASAP. U-turn is really an excellent move. :)
As I've explained, Arcanine's Morning Sun is there to punish Knock-off - hence his ability. :)
I tried picking a move powerful for Krookodile, but I missed Stone miss on my latest match, so I'll change it as...
Arcanine @ Choice Band
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- ExtremeSpeed
- Flare Blitz
- Close Combat
- Morning Sun
Banded Arcanine deals a LOT of damage, and has an effective moveset. I often use and abuse its extremespeed.
He usually comes when I expect a...
Considering much of the team's pretty standard, I hardly believe in depth descriptions are needed.
But since two of you have asked...
Volcarona has a main role as a setup sweeper. Switches in on hazard setters/walls, forces a switch due to its sheer pressure, and proceeds to setup a quiver...
As far as the team as a whole goes, I'm finding moderate success in OU (around 50 to 60% of my fights were victories). Considering the fact that I'm playing in OU, I find that it's a good sign, right?
I'm not "assuming", I'm basing myself off of the latests usage stats linked there and HERE <- there's a link there, click it.
Defensive chandelure has saved me time and time again. It's how I use it, and it works. I have always felt scarf sets limited me far too much.
I gave short descriptions...
Volcarona (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Flame Body
Shiny: Yes

Hello, everybody!
A couple days before (something like a week ago) I built this team. It's been a while, so I don't remember the exact process for building it.
I've been in 40 battles with it, sporting a win rate of around 60% (23 Wins 17 Losses). The team has been through numerous tweaks (I...
