Heya! This is an OU rmt. This team is actually a slight modification to a fairly successful team I made with some friends for the CAP metagame on Smogon. CAP's pretty similar to OU, so it should translate fairly well, I just want a second opinion. Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash EVs: 4 HP, 252...

Sounds like a horrible, unreliable idea, using Tri Attack. The point of CB is to do as much damage as possible. Not to go for the lottery on status effects. :S It seems that there are better ways to try for a sweep than using Empoleon. Baton Pass is usually most useful for getting a quick and...

I stopped?

It's possible that, like FR/LG did, HG and SS will serve to help fill up the gaps that were left open by the move to DSi. With a console game added, it probably wouldn't be too hard to fill up your national dex and not even remember the third generation.

Hey, Arghonaut. Awesome. I really don't have too much to bring up here, but it doesn't seem like Suicune's going to be too hot dealing with Ape. Close Combat + Grass Knot in any order is pretty deadly with that spread. And you don't have any recovery to your name either. I guess Starmie kind of...

Taken from the financial perspective people seem to be talking about lately, GS remake takes a back seat to a fifth gen game. :S The original FR/LG sales weren't really all that great compared to any of the other mainseries Pokemon titles. Meanwhile, D/P is tremendously winning at sales. If...

Usually by the time they come out, I'm passing something off under the protection of Screens. At which point, they usually die. Eww Zong. The problem is that this team is built for fast set-up, which Zong doesn't really help with. It could probably get the screens set up more reliably, but...

I'm just gonna stop trying to justify long periods of absence and just request somebodyto rate my team. :P This team started when Hyra (whom somebody may know as the TL of the CAP Project that made Revenankh... assuming you know about it) added his take on a few parts of what he heard on a...

I swear I'll stick around longer this time. Anyhow, built a team for Raikou, which I think does not suck in Platinum, and it's been doing surprisingly well... for how long? Who knows. That's why I've got this hair rmt. Seriously, guys, help. D: Bronzong @ Light Clay Ability: Levitate EVs: 252...

If that were the case, why not just make a thread for the sole purpose of discussing BL as a tier? =P Also: UU. ._.

Empoleon is actually a pretty sweet sweeper (I actually got swept twice by a SubPetaya Empoleon with Agility). So it's a consideration. The "oh noes, Fire resistance must stay" is actually kind of iffy, since on average, Empoleon will only be taking slightly more (and this is assuming a 0/0...

Having used a Rain Dance team of my own recently, I'd suggest removing Swampert in favor of Dugtrio (which can eliminate the two biggest pains to this team: Blissey and Tyranitar). Cool as Damp Rock Rain Dance Deoxys is, your team lacks any reliable means of set-up after that. I'd really...

Hanging out around other places, trying to assemble a Platinum team that doesn't outright fail. I've been experimenting with Weather teams and other forms of set-up, ala my LC career.

I've been working with a lot of set variants - Sub Kingdra, SD Scizor, Jirachi with Flash Cannon, and so on. So far, I've been doing well with Double Dance Kingdra, SD Scizor over CB (I wasn't able to do enough Physical damage as I needed to on bulkier Pokemon with CB). And Flash Cannon Jirachi...

Gyarados comes in on Tentacruel. Dragon Dance. gg You could use a ScarfZapdos or a Timid/Naive ScarfTran to at least revenge-kill it. Over PorygonZ. They would also make sure your team isn't gutted by Scizor. Not a perfect way to deal with Gyara, but it's better than what you have now.
