    Updated with a replacement for Alolan Sandslash and some tweeks to the others' sets.

    Non-Pokébank OU Pre-Bank SM Team - Fancy Title Pending

    Naw. I don't WANT to use someone other than Wishiwashi, Alolan Sandslash, and Golisopod. I'm not unwilling to swap them out. The idea is to do all I can to make them work. If they flat out won't work, I am completely okay with subbing them out. Except Golisopod. He's single-handledly turned the...

    Non-Pokébank OU Pre-Bank SM Team - Fancy Title Pending

    Time for an obligatory "I like this Pokemon and think it has potential to be good so I'm going to use it to the best of its abilities despite the naysayers" RMT thread. This one starring: Wishiwashi and Golisopod! (RIP Alolan Sandslash) Team Building As I said, I'm a casual player at heart, so...

    Aaaaah. I get you. I've been having grand times setting up and moderate success with a single Shell Smash + Razor Shell taking out any Steel-Types not made neutral to one of the other moves via its second typing (ex: Scizor VS Rock/Skarmory VS Ice), but I suppose that must have been before the...

    As someone who (despite playing consistently Gen I and playing other games competitively) is new to the Pokemon competitive scene, would you mind enlightening me as to why he's so bad and how they outclass him? Is it the fact that they're more beefy as a trade-off to the raw damage, which adds...

    I see Cloyster up at the top of the OP. Has someone suggested a better alternative for him yet? (And this is not to sound snarky, I am legitimate when saying this) I'd love to hear what could be a better set-up sweeper than one that has access to two 125 base damage moves (one of them being a...

    Pre-Bank - Confessions of a Charizard Addict (aka balanced attack)

    If you decide to switch back to Gengar, run either Substitute or Choice Scarf. He is way way way way WAAAAAAAAAY too damn squishy without a Sub to expect Leftovers to do a damn thing. Choice Scarf gets him over literally every non-scarf'd Pokemon in the game (he can outspeed a Timid 252 Spe...

    Pre-Bank OU: The Wheels of Death Keep Turning

    Seeing as Blaziken going back to Ubers (despite others not like Excadrill, his non-legendary friend as well as no other 6th Gen Pokemon or Mega Evolution getting any sort of lookover until February) before February like everyone else being shuffled around, I could care less about building a team...

    Swords Dance to Victory (Currently #72 on Showdown ladder)

    Hey, I'm going to nitpick your nitpick: If it doesn't have the Pokebank Header, stop bloody assuming it's Pokebank. They made it pretty clear in the sticky that the Pokebank header is mandatory for Pokebank teams, so if it doesn't say Pokebank, it's not Pokebank... No Latios No Latias No Heatran

    [Pre-Bank OU] Powerstruggle

    Oh, really? It seemed pretty interesting to me at the time, but then again I just dived into the competitive scene because of the new breeding mechanics, so I haven't experienced that many games, and most of them are boring steamrolls by one of the two teams. I also felt like I played that...

    He has 6 weaknesses, though. Seems risky removing SpD dedication when he's so squishy in the Super Effective department. How are you doing on SpD walls? You already have one? EDIT: Also, don't you already have Wash Rotom for Def walling?

    Not sure if someone mentioned this already in the month it's been up, but Gliscor (at least my Gliscor) is a straight up hard counter to every Lucario I've seen and my personal switch in every time I see one. Either they immediately switch back out or it eats it with my Gliscor remaining at...

    Pokémon Blaziken

    Yeah, while testing, if I wasn't able to get off a Swords Dance, there were a lot of Pokemon that could come out and give me immediately threat. Earthquake is terrifying. Sure, after a turn or two of being allowed to stay alive, he can outspeed you, but that's true for a lot of Pokemon (being...

    While I agree with your point, Talonflame is far from a mediocre Pokemon.

    Agreed. Cloyster can mow down countless things with a Shell Smash as well as a few other Pokemon. Belly Drum Azumarill can OHKO an entire TEAM solo if he gets his Drum off. But Azumarill isn't Uber, nor should it ever be. I'm not saying Blaziken isn't Uber worthy because of this (though...

    Pokémon Blaziken

    Exactly. I feel it's unfair for it to be banned before February. Unless they do a pre-tier-list ban of some of the other broke crap, too. Otherwise it comes off as the tier committee targeting Blaziken specifically. What about Exadrill? That guy still sits in Gen 5 Ubers along with Blaziken...
