Doesn't Skarmory get hit pretty hard by a rain-boosted Scald from Vaporeon? (and possibly risk a burn from it)

Volcarona can handle Venusaur too, since it can set up Quiver Dance, then hit it hard with Fire Blast. It also has Hurricane if it's against a Rain team.

Aside from Scald/rain boost, Skarm can just phaze it out after.

Skarm gets destroyed by rain boosted hits, really. Plus alot of Hydration Vaps have Work Up IIRC.

2 questions. Is there any pokemon that hard counter hydration vaporeon and is thier a pokemon that beats all venasaur sets (or checks them) and can check rain teams? if not then a core of them.

Uh grass types (Virizion, Ferro, Celebi, Shaymin [Natural Cure) and the like) and Rotom-W poop on Vappy. Taunt Jellicent outspeeds Vap and cant Taunt Toxics and Rests and wear Vap down. Sub Mind Latias can set up on Vappy as can Chesto Rest DD Kingdra. STalker Gyara can PHaze it and Rest off any and all damage. Or just change the weather back on predicted Rests. There is also Trick which ruins it.

Heatran and Chandelure wall p much all Venusaur sets without EQ which is exceedingly rare. Sp.Def Dragonite is annoying for it too and can wall even +2 LO Sludge Bomb with SR up iirc. If it lacks Sludge Bomb other dragons wall it too. Blissey/Chansey also beats it quite handily and Chansey walls even the Mix sets too. P2, Sp.Def Deoxys-D and Cress can work in a similar manner. You can also use ScarfTar to change the weather back, outspeed and crush it.

The usual anti weather stall core is Heatran, Gastrodon/Jellicent and Skarm irrc so you could try that.

Hape that helps a little.

I actually use that core ahahah. Chesto Rest Kingdra sounds interesting! I am also liking a celebi though I think I would do a Leftover Celebi with nasty plot and 3 attacks xD.

I am also liking the idea of Scarftar! Can you elaborate on those 3 sets please bud?

Tyranitar@Choice Scarf
252 Atk / 252 Speed / 6 HP
Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge
- SuperPower

Standard ScarfTar. Useful vs Lati@s etc too.

Kingdra@ Chesto Berry
144 HP / 160 Atk / 40 SpD / 164 Spe
Adamant Nature
Trait : Swift Swim
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Outrage
- Rest

Chesto Rest Kingdra. Id suggest Magnezone too to remove Ferrothorn.

Celebi@Leftovers / Life Orb
252 Sp.Atk / 252 Speed / 6 HP
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Giga Drain
- Earth Power / Psychic
- Hidden Power [Fire] / Psychic

Yeah... Psychic hits Dragonite and Ep hits tran. HP Fire hits junk like Scizor so its up to you on what you use.

Enjoy.

Basically what happened is...

tbh I join the server whenever I'm on the laptop. I just sometimes forget it's there. :(

First login in nearly two weeks and here it is:

WHY IS NOBODY EVER ON THE SERVER WHEN I GO NO THERE?

I know you all cry when I'm never there. That's my reason.

You guys aren't the only ones, as soon as it hits like... 1, or something, the server is inactive until I wake up the next day, tbh. At least most of your timezones match!

We should attract more people. :3

So volbeat in ou is fun stuff
Click to expand...

That scared me, omg. I thought you meant Volbeat MOVED to OU and then I was like "wtf that makes no sense... what other crazy changes did they make...", completely ignoring the fact that tier changes aren't til January, iirc. :(

But yeah, I haven't used it, what makes it fun?
