Here is why I immensely enjoy the metagame without Salamence: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72111 (Jirachi/Salamence) http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69338 (Jirachi/Latias) http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65744 (Jirachi/Latias/Salamence)...

Thanks for collecting all this info Fabbles. I wish I could have competed more than just one season 9 OU tour. I think my stats from seasons 6-8 show I can compete near the top 10 players of the tours (my ubers stats kill me at 6-8), but the most glaring thing to me was that I never actually...

We have had a metagame similar to what we will shortly have. The Infernape bandwagon is great and all, but he will severely disappoint many that think some sort of beast is going to be unleashed on the metagame. I'm pretty sure he was a top 10 pokemon in that brief period where we had a metagame...

yea ive beat a bunch of no name people too (by big scores!!!, like... 5-0!!!!), so pick me obviously

Its hard to read, Brian, and your images won't work if they aren't pulled from a website source not your computer, but HP Dark on Heatran is no more useful than just using a STAB Fire Blast. I would switch over to Dragon Pulse instead.

Lucario uses Swords Dance! Oh no.............. At least you have an Intimidate available in Salamence to somewhat neuter him, but you don't want your team to be this blatantly a top 10 threat. Starmie patches a lot of holes for you, but really is just bait for Pursuit Tar/Scizor which is...

I'll be honest, it is just hard to rate rain teams because the pool of pokemon you can choose from immediately becomes limited and not many people play with them first hand to know what they are like. What I never like about these teams is what happens when the rain goes down on the wrong...

Have you tested Electivire at all? He just isn't a competitive pokemon in today's metagame at all. Rotom forms, Latias, Celebi, etc etc etc all wall him. Swampert and to a lesser extent Tyranitar can swap into any Electric attacks you are worried about. On a team like this your Gyarados isn't...

You have a horrible weakness to Latias, Gengar, Rotom forms, and special attackers in general. Dusknoir doesn't work as a special wall for higher levels of competitive pokemon. I would personally try to fit something in there that could handle these guys. A specially defensive CBTar (Choice Band...

You're missing EVs on a couple pokemon (Gyarados, Blissey). I really really really don't like Dragonite in a mixed role when a standard MixMence has the speed advantage on him and can still blow up the same walls you want your Dragonite to hit. I would recommend switching to the classic MixMence...

All the common Dragon Dancers do a number to this team: Gyarados, Salamence, Tyranitar. Gyarados and Salamence are probably the biggest issues. DD LO Gyarados with Waterfall/Ice Fang/Equake ruins this team. I would probably say Clefable is mostly a gimmick and not a highly competitive pokemon...

I was skeptical when I first glanced at your team, but the more I look into I actually think its quietly a solid team. Scizor will pursuit trap Starmie pretty easily, but it almost plays into what you want so you can trap Scizor yourself to help Salamence setup in the late game. Most of the...

What I don't like about this team is that it won't beat stall. Blissey sits on half the team and someone like Gliscor sits on the other half the team. I want to say your allout Utility Jirachi needs to be replaced since he provides little utility against stall (Thunder Wave works against...

A couple of problems I see: Gyarados uses Dragon Dance! - you just lost! Ninjask is just a gimmick that you need to move on from if you want to move on as a competitive battler. It catches the noobs off guard, but really doesn't do anything else. Higher end battlers just won't be beat by it...

Immediate problem I noticed: Rotom forms, +speed attacking variants, especially -W, give you immense problems. Gengar plays very similar and could be a problem since most Gengar are Sub/Protect versions meant to deal with Scizor these days. Also, the team lacks any identity. I see some sort of...

I would like to pitch in that I agree with Snorlaxe's thought on the Azelf. The first thing that came to mind was that Azelf just doesn't fit. The overall style and play of your team is bulky self-supporters. A Dual Screen Azelf still gives you Stealth Rock still, but he can do much more for...

Great idea Lockeness, they won't bid 100,000 for a single person obviously

Hey Smogon, I am finally realizing that I am drifting away from competitive pokemon, and I just don't have the time to keep a pulse on the OU competitive metagame anymore. About once a month I decide to log onto shoddy battle and give it a go, but pokemon is starting to feel like weight...
