  1. OU CCAT: Zoroark [See Post #663]

    1. Omastar (Shell Smash) 2. Hippowdon (Defensive) 3. Aerodactyle (Offensive Taunt) 4. Scarfty (Dragon Dance) 5. Salamence (Wish) Explanation: I would love to see a team based around shell smash Omastar. I once decided to make a team to troll the OU ladder based around Omastar once. The...
  2. MAT: Metagame Adjustment Trials (Month II)

    I think this is an absolutely wonderful idea, something I've been wanting to start myself for quite a while (not this exactly, but something that would get pokemon unbanned) but I have the leadership skills of a wet paper towel, so that wasn't going to happen. I'm in, I'll go by [MAT] Bladeezz...
  3. Chlorophyll Sweepers

    While everything you said about weather boosts was correct and made sense, you forgot to mention something. In contrast to swift swimmers and rain in general, the weather purely focuses on spamming water attacks, while sun allows for chlorophyll sweepers to use their grass attacks to eliminate...
  4. The Eye of the Fire Storm (Peaked 165th)

    I've never had a problem with Latios, or dragons in general for that matter. I don't know what, on paper it looks bad but when playing it's hardly a factor. As far as latios goes, Snorlax handles it just fine and can pursuit trap, or I can use latios to set up Volcarona once it's at -2. I've...
  5. The Eye of the Fire Storm (Peaked 165th)

    I like the idea of Physically Defensive Donphan, but it will make it harder to get rocks out on some teams, but I will try it. I like the idea of changing immunity to thick fat, although it will make the pink blobs more of a nuisence to this team. I don't like the idea of changing Snorlax's...
  6. The Eye of the Fire Storm (Peaked 165th)

    CM Reuniclus is hardley a threat to this team. Volcarona takes advantage of it even and beats it one on one while setting up. I'd rather not use a CB Bisharp to combat a non-threat. Trick Room variants can be very dangerous, but what team isn't threated by that set? Also anyone who is using...
  7. The Eye of the Fire Storm (Peaked 165th)

    Eye of the Fire Storm Recently I got sick and tired of todays metagame, as well as the way I had been playing. Every team I'd face would be almost the exact same, varying 2 or 3 pokes at most. They were all weather teams. The best way to combat weather is with your own weather. I...
  8. Omastar (Analysis)

    Is there a reason Air Balloon isn't mentioned anywhere? It allows for tons of chances to set up, but is the power provided by Life Orb 100% neccesary?
  9. The World Cup of Pokemon VI - Signup Thread [NEW UPDATE: Post 643]

    Pokemon Online Username(s): Bladeezz Country/State of Residence: California, USA Nationality: Couldn't be whiter... Irish/Italian background Other Eligibility (if applicable): N/A I've never participated in a world cup, but I feel like it would be a really fun and great experience. Pretty...
  10. The Eye of the Storm IV (Sandstorm, Peaked 125)

    Thanks Woodchuck, I've been told by multiple people that I should run mixed(ish) defenses on both Jellicent and Ferrothorn, but I've kept it the same with each being specialized in walling one spectrum of attackers. I'm starting to think this may be a bad idea, perhaps I am trying to apply...
  11. Tyranitar (Analysis)

    I feel like Dragon Dancing Tyranitar could be an EXTREMELY potent sweeper this gen, outspeeding so much of the meta by just a few points (so many of it's counters are outspeed and then OHKO'd). And ontop of that is has the surprise factor because it's so rare this gen. I really think Tyranitar...
  12. Poll: Would you still play in Smogon's OU if all perma-weather was banned?

    I voted other. I would still keep playing in Smogon's OU just because it was Smogon OU. It is THE tier to play in. If weather was banned I would be quite angry. (You should probably add an option - Would keep playing Smogon, but not happy about it).
  13. OU Suspect Testing Round 4 Voter Identification and Nominations

    I don't have reqs, but I would really like to see the issue of Flinch Hax Jirachi adressed by someone. It really is just getting rediculous. To see Garchomp being battered for "hax" and seeing Jirachi have no mention anywhere just breaks my heart. That is all.
  14. The Eye of the Storm IV (Sandstorm, Peaked 125)

    Thanks for the rate franky. Added some changes to the team, which are marked in bold along with the reasoning behind them. Also posted synergy cores below the respective pokemon. Also a highlight threat list has been added, containing only problem pokes for a quicker read and rate, so if you...
  15. The Eye of the Storm IV (Sandstorm, Peaked 125)

    As I get higher on the ladder, I'm getting fewer and fewer Garchomp sweeps and he seems to be falling in usage on my team. This is my thought process on the idea of changing to ScarfChomp 1. Hmm Garchomp really isn't doing much lately, and team raters suggest I change to ScarfChomp. 2. I was...
  16. The Eye of the Storm IV (Sandstorm, Peaked 125)

    I've put blood, sweat, and tears into the threat list I posted. Not literally... that would be really weird to watch that happen. I would really appreciate it if you would read it and provide constructive critisim, maybe even to just how I handle things with my team. @HardCore - I Really need...
  17. The Eye of the Storm IV (Sandstorm, Peaked 125)

    Added some changes to my team, most importantly Excadrill which really eliminated lots of my teams weaknesses. Please rate my team, if you see any weaknesses please point them out! Thanks for reading. Also please vote on the poll. I've only gotten 4 responses, that's kind of depressing.
  18. Terrakion (Analysis)

    Would love to see a taunt set. @Air Balloon Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Speed Move 1: Taunt Move 2: Swords Dance Move 3: Close Combat Move 4: Stone Edge This set is a stupendous wall breaker and can move on to sweep after. The Air Balloon is crucial to this set working, allowing...
  19. Please tell me there are still good team raters on Smogon

    On terrakion please don't run HP ice and quick attack. Air Balloon is a gift from gamefreak that changes Terrakion from walled by Gliscor to Gliscor counter. He can force a switch and get +4 in a hurry, then OHKO with stone edge (after SR damage). I do notice that your team doesn't have SR...
  20. Smeargle's Studio General Thread: Spriting and Banners go here!

    Would someone be willing to make me an avatar consisting of Garchomp and Tyranitar with a sandstorm back ground? I'd put your name on my profile and a link in my sig for you. Preferably done in a style somewhat like this avatar below, and also if they could look as menacing as possible, that...
