    ORAS LC Brat Pack (Double Sturdy-Smash) -- Peaked #4

    The initial goal when first making the team was to annoy, but the team evolved out of that phase. At this point, since I've seen great potential in it, refining it to become even more competitively viable is the goal. I'll have the full updated team roster up soon.

    ORAS LC Brat Pack (Double Sturdy-Smash) -- Peaked #4

    Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback! For Brat Pack 2.0, I made the following changes: -Memento instead of Stealth Rock on Diglett. This saved my butt a couple times, even when it didn't allow me to set up a sweeper -- during a LC Room Tour battle, it weakened a sun sweeping bellsprout enough...

    ORAS LC Brat Pack (Double Sturdy-Smash) -- Peaked #4

    Hey folks! I'm here with a LC team that I've had a surprising amount of success with. Fitting the its name, the Brat Pack was originally an attempt to make an especially annoying team -- the fact that it performed well competitively was a nice bonus. While testing and climbing the ladder, I made...

    ORAS UU Regen Core

    With Mega Pidgeot banned, are there any other key KOs that Reckless gets over Regenerator? Even with Aerodactyl, a 62.5% OHKO will often be too risky to try anyway, and after Stealth Rocks damage both versions OHKO every time. Regen lets me switch into hazards or weak or resisted attacks more...

    ORAS UU Regen Core

    This team is an attempt at exactly what the title says. I began with a core of Slowking, Amoongus, and Mienshao. The three cover each other's weaknesses well and can switch in and out freely because of Regenerator. From there, I added Rotom-H to cover the Flying weaknesses of Amoongus and...

    ORAS UU Duck n G8r. (Peaked #1 with 90.1 GXE!)

    Do you have any replays using this team? I'd like to give it a try because it looks fun, but I'm curious how someone who actually knows what they're doing (IE: not me) uses it.

    ORAS UU Rain On My Parade

    I ran with Azelf for several games, but he was too easily Taunted and the loss of offensive power on the team hurt. I've since put Salamence back, and I've made efforts to use him more effectively, with good results so far. Heliolisk has been working nicely, though I need to get better at...

    ORAS UU Rain On My Parade

    Thanks for the reply. Some helpful ideas here. I assume you meant 0 Atk IVs for Kingra, haha. Let's see... if I added a lead Azelf, I could remove both Rain Dance and Stealth Rocks from Swampert. What coverage moves would you suggest? I can try out different options and see what works the best...

    ORAS UU Rain On My Parade

    I used to love Rain teams in Gen 5 UU and figured I would give it ago again now. After all, UU remains completely unaffected by the weather nerf (Drizzle was never a factor to begin with). I've played several games last night and today to test things out. I've won most, but at the lower...

    XY OU Offense Minus One

    Thank you for the input! I've been trying out your ideas. Scarf Landorus-T is working nicely. In addition to revenge killing, bringing him in after a faint and using U-Turn into Mawile cripples physical threats quite handily, giving me a free turn to Swords Dance (after which Mega-Mawile becomes...

    XY OU Offense Minus One

    Well, this is my one allowed bump, and also an update. ...a bumpdate? >_> I shuffled around the bottom half of the team a bit, which now includes Starmie and Landorus. I'm still having mixed results on ladder, but much of that may simply be my lack of battling experience.

    XY OU Offense Minus One

    Hello. I'm only recently returning after a hiatus, so I'm still getting the hang of all the Gen 6 changes. Of course, I was never a spectacular player to begin with, but I try to make sensible decisions. The following team centers around a Greninja, Dragonite, and Mawile offensive core...
