    Blissey : Counter is kinda ewww on Blissey

    Tyranitar used Dragon Dance !

    Blissey used counter !

    But it failed ! <In both senses of the word. X)

    Use Seismic Toss >>it, or CM Raikou just goes OLOL. Consider T-Wave on Bliss >>ice Beam aswell, it will do also for your team support.


    Skarmory : REALLY wants an attack move or it is set up fodder X10000 Brave Bird >> spikes and SR can be put on Donphan >> Roar (why do you need 2 phazers btw ?)

    However you ARE Gyarados weak, what i would suggest is that you add maybe T-Punch Dusknoir >> Spiritomb to beat that up.

    • How long would it take to get Seismic Toss on Blissey through Emerald? How much BP?
    • I kind of didn't want to use T-Wave on Blissey so that Breloom could sweep with Spore, but I'll consider that and try it out for now.
    • I sort of thought that Skarmory, would just be full out supporter, and his attack can be the Whirlwind after he sets up the SR and Spikes, but I have come to some situations where I needed Brave Bird so I'll replace Stealth Rock with Brave Bird
    • I'll change Roar for SR then on Donphan
    • I found out how weak my team yesterday and got swept by a Taunting DD Gyarados so I'm going to switch Spiritomb for Dusknoir.
    • Do my EVs look alright?

    Gyarados is a late game sweeper type of pokemon. Especially bulky, and he's a nice suprise from time to time.

    I'd start off with Tomb over your Gyara

    SR hit's everything, so remove your spikes and give skarm brave bird.

    Blissey wants Twave or Toxic for those pesky Cune's etc that try to out stall you.



    Now let me show you something very important

    Gyar - Physical
    Blissey - Special
    Spiritomb - Physical
    Donphan - Physical
    Breeloom - Physical
    Skarmory - PHazer with no attacks


    You are extremely walled by ANYTHING that can take a hit, from what I see a Weezing / Gliscor walls you pretty well. Leaving you nothing to do tbh.

    I suggest you fix your spread.

    Didn't realize that I had so many Physical. Like the title says, I'm just testing teams right now, and I'm probably going to make another team by the end of the day. I've been looking at Abomasnow and I'm considering making a team with him.
    This team hasn't been winning so much today.

    lol nobody cares how standard you think their team is. If you're so tired of rating these "OU mania" teams, why did you bother posting? lol

    The team deserves a lot more than 6/10, as it looks pretty solid.

    That Gyarados is walled hard. Use Stone Edge to beat Flyers like Gyarados and Salamence that wall you hard.

    I suggest you read the rules here in s&m before you rate a team again.

    1. "good team though 6/10" garbage rates DO NOT HELP so stop it now.

    2. No one gives a dam about how ou this team is.

    Ive seen you do this sort of stuff before, this is a warning, carry on and you will be infracted.

  • Mixape Hurts. Even Dusknoir can't do much back.
    Starmie > Donphan would:
    1. Counter Mixape.
    2. Give you a Gyara counter
    3. Leave you still able to spin
    4. Let you hit the Special side of the Spectrum.
