Maybe I didn't provide enough info? =[
This is what I've got so far for my 3-man team:

Blastoise @ Leftovers
Impish
Torrent
252 Atk / 200 HP / 58 Def
~ Aqua Jet
~ Yawn
~ Focus Punch
~ Ice Punch

Muk @ Black Sludge
Careful
Sticky Hold
252 HP / 80 Def / 178 Sp Def
~ Curse
~ Poison Jab
~ Shadow Sneak
~ Fire Punch/Explosion (not so sure Explosion is a good idea on a 3-man team)

Exeggutor @ Heat Rock
Rash
Chlorophyll
240 Sp Atk / 200 Spe / 70 HP
~ Sunny Day
~ Solarbeam
~ Psychic (Hidden Power Fire only ever gave me trouble with Flash Fire)

They've all worked an absolute charm on Shoddy.
Advice? ^^

I don't know a ton about battling but I know you've got a large Fire weak. ScarfTran could be a problem.

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

Not to mention, eww Bold Bliss.
Blissey @ Leftovers
Calm
Natural Cure
252 Def/80 SpA/176 SpD
Flamethrower
Seismic Toss
Toxic
Softboiled

is her best set. With a Calm nature and 176 SpD EVs, you get 385 Special Defense, which is more than Bold Bliss's max Special Defense (369).

Well, you don't need to tell us the move types, as anyone who's advice is worth taking knows what they are. The standard set is as follows:

Zangoose@Life Orb
Ability: Immunity
EVs: 6 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, - SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Return
- Close Combat
- Shadow Claw

Quick Attack is nice, but it's hard to fit in.

I've read a few of these battle logs and they have me wondering: Are those matches taking place over the WiFi with "real" pokemon or are ya'll using a 3rd party system that allows you to automatically generate the ideal lvl 100s?

I ask because I've been very bored lately and found a pokemon emulator (No$GBA's D/P) and would like to take a crack at this but can't actually afford the DS at this time :(

 

[EricTheEevee]

I am completely new to competetive battling, but I have been watching some YouTube Wi-Fi battles and saw some good pokemon that I might want to use:

Azelf (Lead)

Azumarill (Adamant) @ (Don't know what Item)
Aqua Jet
Brick Break
Rest/Ice Punch
Sleep Talk/Waterfall
EV 212 HP / 252 Atk / 44 Spe

Shaymin?

Suicune?

Latias?

Blissey?

Umbreon?

As you can see I pretty much need a lot of help.
I'm kinda stuck on the Azumarill, Blissey and Suicune, but the others I have no idea. I'd be open to any advice. Please help me! :)

^They are done via this, so yeah it is done with a system that allows you to automatically generate the pokes.

 

[Xebelleon]

Is Medicham terrible with FAKE OUT?
Or is there some FAKE OUT set to option one with?

I have a Jolly one, just finished, at:

Medicham @ Jolly
Item: Focus Sash/ Choice Scarf/ Expert Belt
4 def, 252 atk, 252 speed
-Fake Out
-Psycho Cut
-Fire Punch
-Drain Punch

I tried taking it into OU. Lost. Again...

 

[Matt-O]

How many choicers on a team is too many? I have 2 right now but I'm considering adding a third. Would this be a bad idea?

 

[~Rose-quartz Iatos]

Okay, this is probably the stupidest question you've heard, but what exactly are OU and UU? I actually never heard those two terms until I came here, so IDK.

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

OU=Overused Tier, standard battling environment.
UU=Underused Tier, underused battling environment.
No OU Pokemon may be used in a UU battle, but you can use UU/NU Pokemon in OU.

 

[Skip Shot]

I've been running a Blissey on the CAP server with the following set:

Blissey @ Leftovers
Calm Nature
252 Def/ 176 HP/ 80 SpD(or the other way around)

Softboiled
Aromtherapy
Ice Beam
Seismic Toss

I'm mainly using it as a cleric, but its easily walled on the CAP server by Steels, especially the new CAP. Should I switch Ice Beam to Flamethrower? Any other comments are appreciated as well.

 

[Demo123]

Here you go.
These are the tiers.
https://www.smogon.com/dp/tiers/

 

[SkyPioneer]

It seems like noone has justified the tiers. In actual fact, there are three tiers, four if you count BL (BorderLine) but right now, BL has been merged with UU. So you can use BL pokemon in a UU game.

Anyway. Tiers.
Uber: These are pokemon with absurdly high stats and are too powerful for the regular metagame. This is because these pokemon would be too overcentralizing: meaning that at least every team would have to have a counter for this pokemon to be effective because it is such a great threat.
OU: Over used, regular game play tier. Nothing special here, but pokemon in OU are too much for UU.
UU: The reason why pokemon are in UU could be for different reasons. They could be outclassed. That means that another pokemon might be able to do it's job better, and hence, it is under used. Another reason could be simply because its movepool and stats are not enough to make it a viable threat in the UU environment.
Any kind of pokemon may be used in Uber.

Now. I'd just like to know this: which scene is more "competitive", Wifi battling on the DS or Shoddy on the PC? I really think it's shoddy, but I want some opinions here.

-1 Jolly Aero's Stone Edge on 80 HP / 0 DEF Salamence:- 65.53% - 77.21%

And with a Choice Band, -1 Jolly Aero's Stone Edge on 80 HP / 0 DEF Salamence does 97% minimum, so yes.
