I still need help with this one that everyone completely ignored :(

1- Skarmory is fine

2- Umbreon in OU seems kinda gimmick as SDLuke destroys it, and baton pass serves no purpose in this set. someone else could help you on this ...

3- Zapdos is fine. good Scizor check

4- Seriously this Scarf Relicanth only outspeeds neutral base 100 speed pokemon which is fail, if you really want to use it then Rock Polish on the last slot and change the held item to Leftovers or Life Orb ( depends on your need of more power or more bulk )

If most of your pokemon have healing abilities, then you shouldn't need wish support. Go with something else over it, like CB Tar.

Also, ditch the Scarf on Relicanth, and give it a Life Orb. Make the last spot Rock Polish.

Also also, Skarmory dies to taunt leads. Replace Stealth Rock with Brave Bird.

I guess he said he doesnt want more than one OU pokemon in his team >.>

Skarmory NEEDS an attack move or its utter Taunt bait. Put Brave Bird >> Stealth Rock and add put SR on something else. If you did this i suggest you add a Rapid Spin Blocker too or your spikes stacking will be futile.

Umbreon is dead weight in OU, there are better walls and tanks.

There are also better Scarfers than Relicanth in OU.

Just a quick question. If I bred a Pokemon for the right nature would it be unethical to hack it only to get it perfect IVs? I mean I'm not gonna give it any illegal moves or tweak with its stats or ability.

Hacking is hacking, and most people in the BA (aka, worst place in existence) are highly against it. I do it myself with Pokesav, but if you use hacked pokemon (as in any way) for a battle, you must inform your opponent beforehand.

Assuming that you accidentally omitted "not" in the last sentence, legal hacks are seen by some people as okay and by others as taking a shortcut or cheating. So it depends who and where you're battling.

Yes these will be legal hacks. Completely legit. I'm considering entering the 2010 VGCs. I did accidentally ommit "not".

When you're making a team, do you have to make them all the same tier or can they be different?

When you're making a team, do you have to make them all the same tier or can they be different?

Say you're making a standard team, anything is allowed as long as it is not from the Uber tier. If it is UU, then OU and Uber is banned. If it is NU, then UU, OU, and Uber is banned.

Any Pokemon in the tier in question and lower can be used.

Lets say Im using an Ingrained Smeargle with Mist around it whie it has +2 in its speed, can the opposing pokemon eliminate the +2 in smeargle's speed with Haze ?

Which Eeveelutions are good for an OU-UU team?

 

[Aurafire]

Which Eeveelutions are good for an OU-UU team?

It depends on what is needed for your team...But since most of them are already in OU or UU, any of them could work really.

Hey! I was just thinking of putting a Cresselia in my Sunny Day team as a supporter because she can take alot of hits really well. No joke. This is my team so far.

Crobat
Typhlosion
Tangrowth
"Cresselia"

And this would be the moveset I give to my Cresselia.

Nature: Calm
EV's: 252 HP/196 Def/62 Sp.Def
Held Item: Leftovers
Psychic
Icy Wind
Sunny Day
Moonlight

Meet, the moon. Crescent moon actually. I need her because I need the night to be beautiful. Anyway, this is my second Sunny Day supporter for my team. This Pokemon plays the long game in battles.

Psychic. It's a STAB attack that can put Poison types out of existence. I would go for Charge Beam but it won't help me much.

I love in Pokemon Stadium 2 the announcer says "A gust of Icy Wind!". However, Icy Wind comes in handy in Double Battles. It hits both Pokemon, lowering their Speed to let my Pokemon outrun them.

Sunny Day, as usual. Summons the sun to boost up Fire type attacks and activate Tangrowth's Chlorophyll ability.

Now, you can't play the long game without the Moonlight shining on you. It restores HP depending on the weather. When the sun is out, Moonlight I think restores health by 75%. Quite a biggy, ain't it.

So, what do you think. Do you think this Cresselia can come in handy? I hope so because I do need a supporter to play the long game for my future Sunny Day team. Please tell me if you think the moveset's perfect or need improvements. Thank you. I don't like being a lone wolver by the way.

Using Cress just means you'd be using an OU pokemon, which just dies to OU teams. You'd really want to stick with UU/NU, and I recommend this pokemon to you.

@ Heat Rock/Leftovers
Careful Nature (+SpD, -SpA)
252 HP, 60 Def, 196 SpD
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
- Sunny Day
- Iron Head

Assumiung your Crobat has U-Turn, this is the pokemon you'd switch to. Provides status to slow down your enemy, sun support, rock support, and an attack, so you can't get taunted. With Registeel's natural bulk and useful typing, it will last longer than Cresselia.

 

[wolf]

Or you can use Uxie, since it and Cresselia is really similar so it shouldn't break the synergy too bad.

Registeel, huh? That sounds like a good idea. But I'm usually worried about Pokemon in Sandstorm teams like Hippowdon and Gliscor and even Tyranitar. Since Cresselia has Levitate it avoids Ground type attacks with ease. I might try Registeel. But that's another Ground weakness to my team.

I'm talking about Double Battles by the way.
