I'm going to have to agree with No Luck Involved on Gurdurr. Even unboosted your opponent will be hard-pressed on OHKO it with any move that isn't STAB and supereffective. I've ended a number of battles so far with Gurdurr going to town at +1 and I'm using him on a rain team with Ludicolo and...

Fair enough, I would personally use something like Life Orb or Choice Scarf. But if you can keep hazards under control, then go right ahead.

I'm assuming you're using this as a lead, because hazards are really common in NU and Emboar is vulnerable to all of them. Or am i mistaken?

Corsola's poor stat distribution and equally bad defensive typing does not seem to lend itself as an effective Screener/Wall. I personally don't think it will work very well but that doesn't mean you can't try it anyway!

I've found that CB Relicanth is the most effective Relicanth in my experience. I'm sure that Rock Polish is a great late-game sweeper but I never seem to get a chance to boost. Anyways, Banded Head Smash lays waste to a good chunk of the tier, and Waterfall cleans up pretty much everything else...

Indeed. Skuntank move 1: Sucker Punch move 2: Pursuit move 3: Poison Jab move 4: Taunt item: Life Orb nature: Adamant ability: Aftermath / Stench evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe This thing is a great way of getting rid of all of the those pesky Psychic types that conveniently...

Well ground types are immune to it's STAB.

Hey there, I really like how you are using more obscure sets that still take advantage of rain just as well as any other typical rain abusers. I have to try that Specs Tornadus set now. Anyway, IMO, Bulldoze on Ferro doesn't seem really worth it. I understand that it 2KOs Magnezone and...

Could you please submit some calcs or logs to back up your previous statement? Saying that something sweeps entire teams is a pretty big stretch on its own, and you just applied that to a Masquerain. It's not that I don't doubt you , I would just like to see some proof.

No problem :) And thanks for clarifying the speed on Rhyperior, I wasnt sure if it was for outspeeding slow walls or not. Also its your team, and your Rotom set. I just wanted to point out some things that might have gone unnoticed. Go ahead and do what ever you think is best. Ill be more...

Hey there, good looking team. I think ive seen that core before and it was really effective as I remember. But I do have a couple of nitpicks/questions: Is there a reason that there you have invested in speed on Rhyperior as opposed to dropping those evs in HP for instance? I honestly cannot...

On your Snorlax, I would recommend switching Body Slam to Return because you are sweeping late game and your trying to kill mons and not cripple them. More power>chance to paralyze. Overall great team and good luck!

It seems to me that the obligatory Choice Band set has been neglected: Pendora @ Choice Band Nature: Jolly (+Spe, -SAtk) Ability: Quick Feet / Swarm EVs 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe - Facade - Megahorn / X-Scissor - Earthquake - Rock Slide Pendora is no exception when it comes to using a Choice...

At one point me and one of my friends had thought of Scarf Ditto, it sounded great on paper but the turn you transformed usually was the last turn Ditto did anything because of it's whopping Base 48 defenses. But now this Ditto will only take entry hazards damage and is hopefully more viable and...

So this is how my team has shaped up: Maybe it is another Blaziken/Infernape. It also completes the trio of starters a couple friends and I started. And it has a flaming beard, and flaming beards rape. Not to mention Boiling Water! This is by far may favorite monkey, mostly because the sprite is...

This is possibly my favorite gen 5 'mon so far, 5 resistances and 3 immunities is awesome. It may have common and exploitable weaknesses, but who cares? Its a freaking chandelier with insane Special Attack and decent defenses and speed with three good abilities (even if some are way better than...

I meant switching in on Regi/Chansey when you cannot Sub but if Soft Sand floats your boat, keep it floating!
