Thank you!

I'm probably missing it, but in your original writeup, why are 0 atk IV preferred? Does it matter for anything why they can't just be 31?

I really like the team! I was wondering if you could explain the EV's for Infernape a little more. I've looked at the OU sets for the monke and seems like they usually don't put all the speed investment there. Do you feel 252 is necessary? Or maybe shift some of that into the at/spa? Also, any...

So I looked at the post rules and also the "technical support" and "bug" sections and think that this belongs here: I know Showdown supports Event pokemon (eg. Rash Aura Sphere Raikou, etc), but are we able to use any/all released event pokemon? I was trying to use a Golduck [Psyduck] from the...

I know Genesect is very powerful, but I don't know if it's necessarily Uber-worthy (or, rather, Non-OU). It has solid counters ( or checks if it gets the correct boost beforehand) in two very OU pokemon: Volcarona and Terrakion I did a few calcs: For Volcarona I used flamethrower since it's...

in using this as an example for how sand veil can be uncompetitive: vs faster opponent (i know this thread is mainly garchomp, but i like this point): 1) LO starmie goes for ice beam on swagger gliscor (nonSV) before it uses swagger. Dead gliscor 2) Same starmie uses ice beam against SV...

Don't think this was already asked: Why use Soul Dew Latias over Latios? (in Ubers for example). Due to the difference in bulk? I though both could use soul dew.

I agree with this and what people were saying about always accurate moves (aerial ace, etc). For someone to truly deal with SV chomp 100% of the time they need to carry one of these moves or have something like wide lens (O.o) EDIT: Truly in a sense of dealing with the sand veil issue, not Chomp...

Oh, I do agree with you. I'm just suggesting an alternative set if someone wanted to use a completely physical shiftry. HP ice isn't gonna OHKO through multiscale and with the 30% flinch chance you at least have a chance to take it out before it can attack you (barring e-speed--though hp ice vs...

I've been testing this out recently and it's worked pretty well. Granted even with life orb, it's not terribly powerful. But you can also try a purely physical variant with rock slide instead of hp ice (what i've been using: 252 attack adamant). That way you don't give up power on it's physical...

I like the use of triple priority. With a versatile poke like Smeargle, the sets are literally limitless. I'm not knocking the set, just pointing out that the reason priority users with technitian are so dangerous is also due to their STAB factored in as well as their monstrous attack (scizor...

Hey guys! Thanks for the comments! I've been testing them over the past day. Just wanted to address some of the comments as well. I will put up what I'm currently testing in the original box as an edit. @Nate Dog: Unfortunately I knew I was gonna have a problem with sand as a residual damage on...

Hey guys. This is my first RMT, so if some formatting stuff is off I apologize. I've been playing pokemon since gen 1, PO for the past year or so and PS for the past two months. I've tried tons of teams and feel this one has potential. As the title states, it's not your typical sand team-with...

what impact would shadow tag chandelure have on the meta when it's released? I know trapping is good obviously, but it's defenses are not very high. It's not gonna come in on a, say, choice-locked flare blitz darmanitan or at the end of a haxorus/dragonite outrage to take another one...Even with...

magic bounce espy is also pretty solid. the normal timid 252 spA/252spe variant can set up on slobro and amoongus pretty easily (unless it get's scalded). for heatran it may need a boost to start hp fighting it but also does pretty well unless it gets burned by lava plume...also a mixed venusaur...

Speaking of attract as a stall strategy, I've been using one of the most annoying pokes ever in UU with a lot of success: Whimsicott (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Leech Seed - Substitute - Flash - Attract This...

ok, ok don't laugh but has anyone tried sigilyph as a techniloom counter? I've used one before BW2 and with the right defensive (or spD) investment, it is a great tank AND setup poke. Once the burn/toxic orb is up, it's not getting spored. It quad resists mach punch and resists bullet seed. With...

I've also been playing around with a semi-rain stall with pretty solid results. With the increase in Tornadus-T usage over its incarnate form, a lot of defensive rain pokes can withstand a LO hurricane and heal off the damage (eg. specially defensive jellicent takes 33%-39% from a modest max spA...

Would jolly be worth it? LO Jolly 252 Atk Drain Punch (not even cross chop!) is 91-108% on 4/0 Mamo..hell you could even throw a few evs (I think) into HP with jolly. A nasty surprise if it thinks it's gonna outspend and KO with EQ...only thing is, are there other notable things in the speed...

Has anyone though about the use of Toxicroak in this meta? It does have mediocre speed and suffers from 4MSS but it can handle a lot of the threats in the current meta. Running it at jolly allows it to outspeed and OHKO jolly 4/0 Mamoswine (edit: with cross chop even without rocks), 2HKO...
