How Do I NU? Hello Smogon! I am Palpitoad707, and I play Pokemon. Back during Gen 5, I made a BW2 NU team, and I thought, hey, it wasn't bad. After many, many failed teams (five to be precise), I finally came up with this beaut. The team's main purpose is to, more or less, either hit...

This definitely looks like an interesting meta, taking the worst of the worst of the worst. Webs will probably be dominate, just because of the amount of Pokemon that can abuse them. You don't even really need a spinblocker, because the only spinner in the tier is Delibird, and it's 4x weak to...

Just a nitpick, but Swellow and Zangoose are both currently in B rank.

Main problem I have with Linoone is that it requires way too much support. Don't get me wrong, if it sets up Belly Drum, and if all steels and most Pokemon that can take a hit are dead or weakened, it's a force to be reckoned with. The main problem though, is if Linoone sets up. It has next to...

Main problem here is that Linoone is incredibly frail. It has a mediocre 78/61/6 defenses, no resists whatsoever, and is absolutely walled by Steel types, such as Steelix and Ferroseed. It struggles heavily with Pokemon like Spiritomb, who can just take a +6 Seed Bomb and burn it back, and it...

I can't take that seriously. Xatu + Combusken is probably the best Pokemon Combusken can pass too. Passing 3 different stat boosts to something with Stored Power, Calm Mind, Reliable recovery, and Magic Bounce is not too good? That's definitely completely false. Xatu, along with Feraligatr and...

Does this mean that everyone should run Haze Qwilfish to deal with Combusken? Or it's other supposed counter, Rhydon? Or a Haze Murkrow? Moves like whirlwind and roar don't work, since Combusken can just pass to Xatu, and now Xatu gets all those boosts, and can avoid Roar and Whirlwind. The fact...

I would like to drop out.

Still, that didn't answer my question entirely. What is Torterra supposed to do? What's its role? Why would I run it over something else? What is the purpose of Torterra? Is it a sweeper or a hazard setter? Also, good stats don't mean much if it doesn't have the typing or ability to back it up...
