I've actually had a fair bit of success using Gastrodon on a hail team. Here's the set I've been running: @Leftovers Storm Drain Calm 212HP/252Def/44Speed -Surf -Blizzard -Toxic -Recover Thanks to Storm Drain's improved usefulness, you can switch this thing into water attacks...

So I've been messing around with Pokemon Online, seeing what works on a hail team and whatnot. I've been trying to get a good Beartic set going, and here's what I've come up with: Beartic @ Leftovers Ability: Snow Cloak Adamant: 252HP/252Atk/4Speed -Substitute -Protect -Focus Punch...

If anything else, Arcanine's Flash Fire could come in handy. I've wondered how Chandelure would work as a Flash Fire user, but Shadow Tag has many merits in itself. Trapping and killing Scizor is something that a hail team loves to have onhand.

Take it from me, running mono-Ice on a Hail Team generally isn't the smartest idea. Your team is not only very Stealth Rock weak, but they also share a lot of weaknesses as well. You generally want 2-3 ice types on a hail team and then have the others cover your weaknesses as a team.

Well, I beat the E4 not too long ago. Interestingly enough, the highest level poke I came in with was Lv50 (Darmanitan), and I didn't really have much trouble. The only thing that caught me off guard was the final battle, and thankfully my Throh had Bulk Up and was able to outright wall a good...

This game is fairly easy, although I'm taking my time running around catching stuff in-between gym leaders. Got all 3 monkeys just now, actually. All of they gym leaders have been fairly easy as well; I really haven't run into any walls yet. (I have 7 badges, BTW)

Throh seems pretty solid. I've got 6 badges now, and he consistently deals out hefty chunks of damage. He's also no slouch at taking hits as well; his only real weakness is that he's slow, and even that can be taken advantage of with the right moves. Initially I was disappointed at it being...

Yeah, I'm planning to use him when I get my Hail Team together (just picked up White today, actually). Jellicent's typing is amazing, and he really makes for an excellent stall-ish spinblocker. Hmm, that's an interesting set. Of course, I'd have to see how it works in real combat and not...

Eh, I figured as much. I mean, at most you could slap Brightpowder+Snow Cloak together and pray that you don't get hit while using Bulk Up, but that's incredibly gimmicky and as was said, Mamoswine could do that better if he wanted to. Really, it seems like the newer Ice types aside from...

I have to ask, does Tsunbear/Beartic have any worth on a hail team? I know he's not the best Pokemon, but I really like his design and would like to try to find some way to use the guy.

Got a quick question. When you run a hail team in Gen V, is it smarter to lead with Abomasnow or to simply choose another lead and bring him out at a different time? I think Sableye could make a good hail lead should the latter be true.

I think Barujina could function well as a partner for Abomasnow as well. It's quite bulky, and Dustproof makes it an excellent stall machine.

Harvest seems interesting, but won't something with Incinerate just wreck it anyway?

Wouldn't Lightningrod Seaking be pretty useful? It's no Swift Swim, but having only one weakness isn't too bad either. It is slow, though...

Does anyone have any good ideas for running Gravity in Doubles? I'm thinking of using a Follow Me user like Clefable/Furret and placing it next to something like Starmie/Porygon2 (or Z) who can set up Gravity and immediately begin to attack. The only problem is that while Earthquakes are...
