Hahaha I am, I think I've seen you there too.
I'm generally there more than here, I've just been poking around all the forum boards seeing what people have been doing lately (so not creepy). o -o
Heatran. Wall. You. Hard. Specifically Scarf Heatran. Sceptile has the best chance of beating it... and you know that's not good. And making #6 something to wall Heatran, that won't be nearly enough to salvage it as a weakness. Heatran is usually brought in late game as a revenge killing sweeper...
Machamp can use both Abilities very effectively, and it's all a matter of what is needed most on your team.
You could always use Lead Machamp:
Machamp @Lum Berry
No Guard Ability
Adamant Nature; 240 HP/248 Atk/16 Sp.Def/4 Speed
~DynamicPunch
~Payback
~Bullet Punch
~Stone Edge/Ice Punch...
You mentioned you were going for mostly offense, which is understandable, but you don't really have the coordination of Pokemon for all-out-offense. Faster and stronger Pokemon are available in the OU Tier; and even all-out-offense teams have some sort of bulky core to help cripple the various...
Believe it or not, Skarmory gets nailed by Electivire, but I haven't seen any Foretress, surprisingly. I'm definitely not running another Choice Set, Electivire had too much trouble the first time being another Choice. If I ran Life Orb Luke, I might ditch Aura Sphere actually for HP Fire, which...
I admit I'm not the best at competitive, especially OU, but Foretress could use Explosion really well I think. It probably doesn't need Spikes AND Stealth Rock, probably just Stealth Rock. Also, try Ice Beam on Suicune, and maybe Hypnosis on Gengar? It may not work well with a Choice Set though...
Okay, it's just impossible to breed then, makes sense.
On another note, I was thinking this:
Dunsparce@Kings Rock
Serene Grace
Adamant
252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Sp.Def
- Headbutt
- Bite / Pursuit
- Rock Slide
- Zen Headbutt / Thunder Wave
It looks like it'd be more durable in NU than it was when I...
You're probably right, I've just been cornered in the Frontier a decent number of times by damn Wonder Guard ;~;
Out of curiosity, why us Psycho Cut Illegal?
Hey, I'm making a NU team for the heck of it, and I'm wondering if this Medicham set is any good.
[Pretty generic, true. But...]
Medicham @Salac Berry
Pure Power
Adamant
76 HP / 252 Atk / 180 Speed
- Fake Out
- Endure
- Reversal
- Bullet Punch
Basic Endure / Reversal with a Salac Berry. Fake...
Well, he may have Specs on for the other Frontier challenges, since he posted the other items.
... and after thinking about it, I'm guessing the Specs are just to make Dragon Pulse / Fire Blast rip butt hole.
Anywho, I've been using this one team that so far demolishes everything it sees...
I'm more or less curious as to why Alakazam doesn't have a full 508 EV spread. It just seems useless to me =/
And Stealth Rock isn't so much necessary as it is useful for countering most Sashers.
I'm currently running Latias in the Battle Hall.
Impish Nature, 252 HP/Def 4 Atk
Right now, holding a Life Orb, but when I get the chance, it'll be Soul Dew. Or maybe even Choice Scarf.
Recover
Dragon Pulse [thinking about Draco Meteor]
Earthquake
Calm Mind [thinking about Thunderbolt]
It...
How about Magikarp's new one in Platinum?
"A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though."
Not so much ridiculous as it is depressing =[
