    SM OU ZPZ+Gyara Offense

    Ok, a few things here. 1. Change Lele's Psyshock to Thunderbolt. It helps you better deal with Celesteela and Tapu Fini who wall most of the rest of your team. 2. Change Mega Metagross's Ice Punch to Thunder Punch. Your entire team deals with Landorus and Chomp already, from scarf moon blasts...

    SM UU When it RAINS, it POURS.

    So... I wanted to make a rain team in UU because I think weather is super fun in lower tiers. Since Drizzle was banned, I obviously had to get creative in who the rain setter was and came up with this team. Hope you guys enjoy! Clefable (F) @ Focus Sash Ability: Magic Guard EVs: 252 SpA / 4...

    Yeah, Quick Attack over Double-Edge is good because Flying/Normal is literally the worst coverage in the game. The only two types that resist Normal (Rock and Steel) resist Flying, so no need for two moves that do recoil when Brave Bird is good enough, and plus it hits Ghosts. Close Combat...

    I think you meant to put Flyinium Z on Staraptor, because Mirror Move is a flying type attack and I assume that's the only reason it is there. Also, since you have Double-Edge and Brave Bird, you really should be running Reckless over Intimidate, but I guess Intimidate also works to force a...

    Yo CTC, I saw the Reuniclus TR team and thought it was fire, especially after seeing Joey's live with it. However, I came up against a few Alolan-Marowaks and I basically had to click x. The mon, quite literally, OHKOs the entire team and will-o-wisps the only one it can't, ScarfChomp. Only...

    SM OU L.G.B.T.Q. Squad - Landorus Gets Baited That Quickly? (Currently ~1600 Ladder)

    Yeah, makes sense, but I would probably need to have rocks up somehow since most rocks swords dance sets have Focus sash

    SM OU L.G.B.T.Q. Squad - Landorus Gets Baited That Quickly? (Currently ~1600 Ladder)

    Lol yeah I know, I just thought about LGB/Lando Gets Baited and I was like damn I could somehow turn this into lgbtq. And yeah you're right, I should probably have 0 speed and just put it in SpDef.

    SM OU L.G.B.T.Q. Squad - Landorus Gets Baited That Quickly? (Currently ~1600 Ladder)

    I like the idea, I'll definitely consider using these two sets over the ones I have for some more bulk. The thing about the Garchomp calc is that ScarfChomp outspeeds my Scolipede at +1, so it can switch in on my Swords Dance and Outrage or EQ. If I go Jolly to outspeed it, then Hydro Vortex...

    SM OU L.G.B.T.Q. Squad - Landorus Gets Baited That Quickly? (Currently ~1600 Ladder)

    Hey guys, so I heard about this new Scolipede set that involves setting up with Swords Dance + Speed Boost and baiting in Landorus-T with Z-Aqua Tail (Hydro Vortex), so I thought I would try it out. At peak I was around 1600 in ladder, and I've been testing around with random teams since then...

    SM OU I can't believe it's not butt.

    Haha, I love how creative this team is. I also liked your random "can't believe it's not butt" title (and I was bored) so I made a little revamp of the Gyarados photoshop, feel free to use it: http://imgur.com/a/tBUYx

    Metagame Pokébilities

    lol I'm an idiot. I read it wrong, i thought he meant guaranteed crits are impossible since you'd need focus energy and BOTH razor claw AND scope lens. Lol my b.

    Metagame Pokébilities

    No, this is wrong. Scope Lens gives you +1 crit chance and Focus Energy gives you +2. +3 Crit chance means you have 100% chance of critting, that is the mechanic. Trust me, I have also used Critdra for almost all of ORAS and have never once missed out on a critical hit unless the opponent has...

    SM OU Fini-Gross Sweep, Ditto Counter Sweep

    Marowak: I don't see why you are running Leftovers with Flare Blitz, you really should choose one or the other: Flare Blitz + Thick Club or Fire Punch + Leftovers This way, you are more focused towards either recovery or raw power. Running lefties with a huge recoil move seems...

    SM OU Ferrothorn + Toxapex Balance, need help :(

    Ok, I'll go through every mon and try to make some improvements. Ferrothorn: - If you decide to run scarf Lando (mentioned later), run Stealth Rock > Spikes. If not, though, you can keep spikes to stack both SR and Spikes. - Run Thunder Wave > Gyro Ball/Power Whip. Your team seems rather slow...

    Yeah, that's a good idea for dealing with Wak. Thanks man, I'll def try to see you on PS :)

    SM OU Gen 7 Rookie Team

    Yeah no problem man, glad I could help. By the way the way that Sucker Punch would work on an Encore is that since Sucker Punch has +1 priority and Encore does not, the opponent would use Sucker Punch and it would fail since you did not click an attack move (The move only works if you click an...

    SM OU Gen 7 Rookie Team

    Cool team, I like Z-Belly Drum Azu as well. One thing I would change is Magnezone; make it Specs > Scarf. The thing about scarf Magnezone is that it doesn't really outspeed anything that it needs to. Specs ensures that you can almost always OHKO high SpDef Ferrothorn and easily OHKO Bulky Mega...
