This looks very similar to a team named Ballout Hyper Offence, which leads with scarf breloom to stop rocks early, so that mixed dragonite can come in without taking chip from hazards. If you came up with it yourself independently, well done, it's a good structure. Onto specifics, I'd suggest...

Provided that membership in an old gen council continues to be based upon merit playing their tier, I fully support old gen councils being given greater freedom to tier the generations they are the council of. I also encourage other posters in this thread to focus on the proposal of letting...

I've been of the opinion that jirachi needs to go nearly since I joined smogon. I think it is the root cause of the problem, and the other pokemon people have been mentioning are secondary. My personal preference is for an iron head (IH) ban, but failing that I'm ok with an outright ban on...

innisfree

It fits on slower paced teams like stall and some balance, but doesn't fit on offence very well. So its usage is limited by how many teams can fit it.

I'm voting for Brammi. Their team beat mine when we faced each other the first time, and weather ball on hail is a neat idea.

This submission to the teambuilding comp was made by 7 people from the DPP cord. It was a lot of fun to put this together, and despite some niche choices I actually think the team came out alright. https://pokepast.es/986c116da3fbc6c5 The basic idea behind the team is to lay tspikes to put...

Personally, I think the frostlass ban was in error, and we should have waited for the meta/players to develop a bit more before taking action. It didn't seem that common or powerful, and to set it up required a certain amount of skill too. Even the updated replays don't show people winning by...

Voting for Fidgety

I’m showcasing (not entering) 4 different boosting Empoleon teams which may or may not have been withheld so they can be used in SPL. (Shifts eyes from side to side conspiratorially). The teambuilding comp for boosting Empoleon was started before the first DPP SPL game, yet it had a strangely...

Is the baton pass unban a complex ban?
