    ORAS OU My Mega-Pinsir HO

    Yes, exactly! There are plenty of strong attackers on the team that can chip away at Diancie. But between Azelf and Starmie is the most effective, I've found! I shall give it a whirl, thanks for the suggestion!

    ORAS OU Have I cracked it? The ultimate HO team?

    Thank you all again for your input If I swap bisharp for Talonflame then I have nothing to deter the ubiquitous Fairy Types that do serious damage to my main sweeper. I think I'm definately going to swap Bisharp for Jirachi. Heres the version of the team I'm testing now, with a bulkier Rocks...

    ORAS OU Have I cracked it? The ultimate HO team?

    Thats an unusual idea! Please let me know how SR celebi goes! it occurs to me if I were going to run Celebi it would have to be the rovks varient, becasue if I were going to run a Grass type without rocks Serperior is a much better fit So I could keep my Offensive Lando set, but maybe drop...

    ORAS OU Have I cracked it? The ultimate HO team?

    Thank you for your input. I had noticed that Ice shard just doesnt hit hard enough so I've re-added Icicle Crash. I have been toying with a slightly bulkier set for lando and using him as my rocker swapping Azelf for something like Serperior. What do we think? Anyway, as for SwordPolish Lando...

    Is it worth considering something like Iron Tail or should I just stick to roost?

    ORAS OU Have I cracked it? The ultimate HO team?

    Hello everyone and thank you all for you contributions and for clarifying a few things! I'm playtesting the proposed changes as we speak and I have a few questions: What would make you use Blaze over Tough Claws on Charizard? I still think the team has a slight weakness to fighting types...

    ORAS OU Have I cracked it? The ultimate HO team?

    Introduction: Good Day Smogon community! I'm back again with another variant of a HO team! Still built around Mega-Charizard-X but with the benefit of about a months worth of playing experience with him as my premier sweeper. So without further ado, here it is, the culmination of all my work...

    ORAS OU Help a stall player break the habit - Zard X HO

    Teambuilding Process: Pet me preface this by saying I'm a Stall player. I have been since GSC. So I have very little experience with agressive teams. I hope I have a unique perspective as someone who has spent many years countering them. However I have very little clue where to even start... So...

    ORAS OU Status Stall - An oldie revisited

    Hello Smogon. Introduction I have been absent from competitive battling for some years but have recently begun to get back into the swing of things. I always enjoyed the stall play-style and thought that this would be the best place to start (on familiar ground). After a few weeks reading...
