Comments in bold. I'm going to be straight with you, though: the days of Linoone sweeps are over. There are too many things that can take even +6 hits from Linoone and OHKO back or things that run straight through any team centered around Linoone. It requires too much support and effort to...

1: Persian does everything Purugly does better. Extra speed and Technician bonus make it much easier for it to do his job, and Fake Out is a lot stronger. Consider a Silk Scarf or Life Orb to make the Fake Outs really hurt and put Return over Knock Off. The set is essentially the NU version of...

@Normal Monotype guy Khangaskhan@Leftovers 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Spe Scrappy/Adamant -Substitute -Focus Punch -Sucker Punch -Return Wrecks stuff. @Above Use Spikes, not Toxic Spikes. There is never a reason to use Toxic Spikes in UU.

DPPt was the first one I played as the girl because the guy looks like a huge tool.

So wait, you Suicune had Roar and you let Ninjask set up on you twice? This is probably the only situation in which Scarfdos actually works =X, I genuinely expected a +3 TTar to outspeed you anyway, are you running Jolly + Scarf or something? Grats on the win, though.

Spiritomb is a better special tank than Gardevoir, with access to Calm Mind to boost it's already decent defenses, no type weakness, immunity to psychic, and healing moves in Rest/Pain Split. Blastoise is a good enough Physical tank, swtich Torterra to the Rock Polish version. (RP over SR and...

Umbreon is flat terrible in nearly every situation, put Roserade over it for spike/sleep support and a decent attack in Sludge bomb. Brave Bird >> Aerial Ace on Crobat. More later.

I out paraflinched a dunsparce with it. It hits harder than Ice Punch on most leads except Roserade, whom I always switch to Honchkrow to take the sleep powder anyway.

And none of them carry focus sash. Taunt/Rain dance users, NP setup sweepers, Taunt/U-turn all carry Leftovers/Damp(or Heat) Rock. Boom.

For reference, I've been running: Registeel@Leftovers 252 HP, 168 Atk, 88 Def -T-wave -Stealth Rock -Iron Head -Explosion And so far it's worked decently well. Perfect counter to Crobat leads, but leaves me more open to unconventional leads. Provides SR support and can paraflinch with Twave...

Note: Shuckle can abuse the hell out of accupressure, though, if he gets lucky and gets 2 evasion ups, he's invincible.

"Great Ability" doesn't tell me if Hariyama is Thick Fat or Guts, one allows him to tank more effectively, the other allows him to be a tank/status sink. Also, while it's a gimmick: Belly Drum Linoone weak. Can set up on Umbreon then sweep your team. Umbreon itself is nothing but setup...

How is it mono flying when you have Magnezone? Steel/Electric. Despite what you say, Every member excluding Magnezone is SR weak and you have no spinner. You're also extremely vunerable to stall teams with SR and strong Phazers like Hippowdon. Seeing as you've already abandoned the...

Personally, I don't think Arceus should ever be unbanned, I also thing some tiers (especially the lower tiers) should also get an extended banlist. Why? It's quite simple, I view this sort of business as a strategy game where prediction, innovation in teambuilding, and good use of strategy...

Articuno fails to Registeel, Chansey, and Clefable all as special sponges in UU. In NU I could see a niche, though, and that's where Articuno (appropriately) is. I think it's appropriate there, but there are some pokemon (Like Shaymin and Yanmega for example) that are broken in UU, which was...
