Thanks.

Welcome to my first RMT. As you can see, this team contains a Scarf, a dragon and a lot of Substitutes (otherwise I would have called it something else). Let's just cut to the teambuilding process, I hate introductions. Teambuilding process The first item of business for any teambuilder is to...

OK then, maybe I should look at whole teams in future. Also, Weavile can use a Sash with Toppers or Starmie (in OU) to Spin hazards and keep your sash up. This guarantees a Swords Dance. Night Slash is an acceptable loss, because Pursuit has over half the base power on non-switching targets.

I didn't look at half your team, but Weavile is always completely useless unless it has Swords Dance. You decide where to put it into your set, but put it in or replace Weavile.

I think your team could really use a spinblocker. I know that Bronzong has massive bulk (unlike the rock-setter in my team at http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/my-first-rmt.3488806/) but it still deserves a spinblocker. I'll give you 2 options. Option 1: Mismagius @ Leftovers Ability...

Beating Iris in Black 2. Did I mention that I only had one Pokémon alive? Oh yeah, I didn't. My team was Serperior/Lucario/Magnezone/Arcanine/Zoroark/Ducklett(HM Slave) and I only had one Pokémon alive. Lucario had FOUR HP left when it KO'd her Archeops with ThunderPunch.

My post will be edited to remove the sashes and put what I think the most effective options are.

First set for Team 1, Pokemon 2: We need a Pokemon to counter Archen as best we can, and Magnemite will hurt us too. How do we cover these sets? Ground will destroy the Magnemite, while a decent Electric- or Rock-type attack blows away Archen. How do we pack both? Answer: Drilbur @ Eviolite...

Thanks for the criticism Spinda, and this bluff has worked before, so it's not totally useless. I will use your criticism to improve in future.

Why on Earth is Cresselia not A rank or S rank? It's BL2, giving it spectacular bulk. I run a Physically Defensive EV spread with Calm Mind, Toxic, Psychic and Moonlight and it's consistently walled everything left after the rampages of my BellyZard. It has needed Drought support to maximize...

I have recently been able to pull off a good bluff with this set: Jolteon @ Wise Glasses Ability: Volt Absorb EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP Modest Nature - Thunder - Hidden Power [Ice] - Shadow Ball - Volt Switch Why Wise Glasses over Expert Belt, you ask? I'll tell you: you don't need a...

I strongly recommend that Weavile be added to the 'Notable Members' list for the Ice type. If it can force a switch and Swords Dance, it can wreak havoc with Ice Punch/Ice Shard, Low Kick/Brick Break and Night Slash. Only a wallbreaker and it dies instantly to Fighting attacks, but it forms a...

OK. I have a challange for you, named Metal the Piplup. Metal thinks it is a mighty Steel-type already, so it must use a Steel-type move on its first turn in combat (when you learn one). It knows it is a Water-type so it must use a Water-type move on the second turn. To evolve to Prinplup you...
