    Lati@s Suspect Test Discussion

    Latias is acceptable as T-Tar, Snorlax, and sometimes Blissey (only CM sets) counter it. However, I believe Latios would absolutely wreck OU in every way shape and form. This is 'theorymon' of course, but a Specs Boosted 130 base Draco Meteor will take out everything everywhere. It also has...

    Platinum Metagame be trippin...

    Hariyama only takes less damage from T-Tar's STAB moves. Everything else Swampert resists better (except maybe Ice Beam). The fact that SS doesn't hurt Swampert makes him even better. Hariyama is a very very close second though and I usually use him to counter Tar.

    Request an Individual Move Set Thread

    I read all the posts as I have helped post answers to improve his teamwork and told him strategies to make the team easier to pull off. A simple "what if" could be better if worded as: "You cannot rely on Bronzong to pull off TR 100% of the time. Just because you have it on your team is not...

    What if he gets a flawless victory and the opponent uses nothing but Caterpie's? Posing whatif questions does not help him without having a way to deal with them. Every TR team should have Tangrowth as it can deal with Surf, Discharge, and Earthquake while taking advantage of the TR switch...

    Platinum Metagame be trippin...

    He has Swampert, a T-Tar with Brick Break, and Scizor. CB T-Tar is not a problem especially since Swampert is the most stable T-Tar counter in the game. You lack a heavy hitter on the special side. Switching Rotom's Scarf to Specs could benefit that easily while still sticking to the Specs set.

    Not exactly. Both have a weakness to Ice and it would be fatal to have the poke switching in x4 weak to the same thing that hte current poke is. Fire types switch in very well with Breloom, especially Heatran.

    My Rain Dance team =3

    [/SIZE] Your parent's must be proud. [SIZE=3] In no way would it. Counter and Mirror Coat are technically attacks so it wouldn't effect those two moves. I have actually used this set to great success. Your Kingdra set needs work with the moveset: Outrage should be replaced with Hidden Power...

    Yes? Pressure Stall Aerodactyl cripples sweepers and scouts well. Weavile would just hit harder. I'm more for making sets that are anything but standard and making them work.

    If you want a serious team, try an SS T-Tar destruction team: - Sp.D T-Tar - Sub/Punch Cacturne - Agility Empoleon - Wall Gliscor/Swampert - CB Scizor - Choice Bulky sweeper If you want to try something original, here's a team I am thinking about starting that will surely annoy everyone...

    RMT: A balanced, OU Team

    You can solve a lot of your problems by dropping Skarmory. It's really a liability nowadays with every sweeper carrying Fire Blast just for Skarm, so I don't see it as much of an advantage at this point. You can basically cover most of your weaknesses by using Cresselia instead: Cresselia@...

    Quiet Luxray... here's a stab at what it should basically look like imo: Luxray@ Leftovers Quiet, Intimidate X Hp, Y Def, Z Sp.A - Charge - Discharge - Superpower/Crunch - Hidden Power [Ice] X: 204 // Y: 168 // Z: 136 - Bulkiest variation. Hits jp in Sp.A and mln in Hp. X: 140 // Y: 192 //...

    Vileplume was only used 36 more times than Magikarp in OUs in December

    New Cress is: Calm - 204 Hp, 196 Def, 108 Sp.D Will never be OHKO'd by Adamant LO +1 Outrage or 2HKO'd by SpecsMence Draco Meteor. I also mentioned in my first post (maybe my second) what it would gain to outrun by running Jolly as a lead. Now that it has been clarified as a non-lead I am 100%...

    Vileplume was only used 36 more times than Magikarp in OUs in December

    Hippowdon is 2HKO'd by LO and Specs Mence. By your same logic as Cresselia it is not a counter though I do agree on the check. I wonder if there are also smart people out there laddering and know how to use Flygon. Please list something that isn't 2HKO'd by any Salamence variation in OU. Also...

    Vileplume was only used 36 more times than Magikarp in OUs in December

    Notice I said threats like Jolly Lucario. His team has no answers for Salamence, Zapdos, in fact anything with mediocre power over base 100 gives this team intense trouble. Salamence absolutely crushes this team after 1 DD as nothing can switch into it. Zapdos is unresisted, so having it can...

    Nitpick: Bulk Up/RstTlk sets run Brick Break.
