My personal favourite Volcarona set. Max Speed is to outpace most foes, and can hit extremely hard with Bug Buzz and Flamethrower backed by STAB and Specs (Fire Blast and Fiery Dance can be used but aren't recommended). Hidden Power Ground provides nice coverage hitting for super-effective...

You aren't certainly the only one who hates Math ;) As far as you have to build, you can ask on the IRC channels or on Pokemon Showdown, you'll get great advices on both. Once you have a basic knowledge of the competitive battling you can build a team by yourself, adjust it as much as you can...

Question: With all the BW2 changes, will Weezing's usage improve? It walls almost completely Gliscor, is immune at Earthquake (thus making it a good switch-in to Mamoswine and Landorus), can spread Will-O-Wisp, has access to Thunderbolt for the evercommon bulky waters, and has Pain Split if...

How can Force Palm be mentioned only as "a move that benefits from Technician"? It could be used on a bulky Sub set, something like Spore / Substitute / Leech Seed / Force Palm, and deserves a slash on the second set. 60 base power + Technician + STAB + 30% paralysis is just too good to be...

I liked HustleClaws Durant a lot. Stone Edge is pretty bad on it, and Jellicent still remains an hard counter (damages through Scald and Will-O-Wisp, prevents boosts with Taunt, has Recover to let Durant suicide with Life Orb), and, especially, Stone Edge's accuracy after a boost gets to a mere...

I'm using it as a Choice Scarf sweeper, even if 91 base Speed is kinda lame. Though, it's still a lot with a 1.5x multiplier, and 145 Attack makes up for it anyway. I think it's a good Explosion abuser, can kill a lot of threats with it

Lugia looks very weak to SubDarkrai, that can use with Dark Void, break Multiscale through Bad Dreams and put the hurt with a STAB Dark Pulse, and Lugia can't do much in return, except Whirlwind it away. Anyway, it will be the hardest defensive threat to counter for any team. Do you have any...

I could actually resist 11 seconds. Wow, it's a challenge! Good job, i didn't think the updates could be done so fast

Most probs it will end up with a clause, and 100% of the teams under that clause will be 4drag2mag or close It's the guy in green (iirc) when you enter the Battle Subway

And it's not even a BW2 rate, the new mons aren't in the team nor in a threat list. I'd say swap Excadrill with a strong special attacker (which you need) and make the team OU

I've faced some of them these days. Basically a 3-4 poke chain relying on defensive boosts but also on Speed, and can easily avoid traps that usually block chains (eg. Perish Song, Roar). Once the defensive boosts are up (generally +6 Def +6 SpD), you pass to a strong attacker. It's damn easy to...

K, i just didn't know the abbreviation Did some calcs, realized how Bullet Punch isn't strong enough for the Scarf set (only 33% on 4/0 Salamence, really not enough)

No, SmashPass is more focused on Shell Smash rather than on the chain. As this is thread is about the whole OU metagame, why not include other teamstyles such as Hyper Offense or Stall Baton Pass?

What does 4MSS mean? Though, Zen Headbutt is really useful on the Agility set because of Rotom-W, that walls every single Gravity-lacking set and forces switches. Other than that, i'd say Meteor Mash should be the first slash
