    np: USUM UU Stage 7.1 - Controversy (Breloom banned from UU)

    Ahh, pardon if I was incorrect about some things, I typed it out while I was without internet and didn't get to fact check. I confused Electric resisting Grass with, the correct version, Grass resisting Electric. My bad, I'm sorry. I'm obviously no expert, but the point stands: I've personally...

    np: USUM UU Stage 7.1 - Controversy (Breloom banned from UU)

    But also most of these require that Bullet Seed hit 5 times, which happens... what was it, 12% of the time? On average, it hits 3. That gives these mons a chance to hit back, and, given that they are faster, a chance to 2HKO - if they don't OHKO. For example, Togekiss. Let's say you start a...

    np: USUM UU Stage 7.1 - Controversy (Breloom banned from UU)

    It might be too late to sway any opinions, but as a UU player, I thought I’d share my thoughts. I usually play one of two UU teams: A balanced team (that features Breloom) and a stall team (that does not). I, in my experience using and countering Breloom, do not consider it nearly as scary as...

    Monotype Rate my Fairy-type team!

    Aaaaand, now Magearna is banned. As a Fairy enthusiast, I'm absolutely devastated, as I'm sure you are too. TT~TT That being said, we need to make a few changes. I used to use Klefki pretty often to spam its Prankster-ness, but now that Magearna's gone, it's going to be ESSENTIAL on fairy teams...

    SM OU Trap Offense In Sun and Moon Overused

    I thought this was an interesting concept so I decided to try it. I must say - I really love this team! You've done a fantastic job, it worked even better than I expected! One thing I've noticed, however, is that status really hurts this team. Charizard really doesn't like being poisoned, and...

    SM OU Trying to make PorygonZ work

    I honestly can't stand Azelf, he barely survives a single turn. If what you need is a Taunter, why not try Greninja? Greninja @ Life Orb Ability: Protean EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Taunt - Spikes - Hydro Pump - Ice Beam We're trading Stealth...

    SM OU Trying to Balance

    I don't usually post my teams, but I've decided to try and be a more active member to try and improve my skills as a trainer. (I want to be the very best, like no one ever waaas~ ♪) I usually dabble more in the Monotype department but as a Fairy enthusiast, Magearna's banning has devastated me...

    SM OU My "Barely OU" OU Team

    Glad to help. ;) Feel free to tag me if you decide to re-post the team with some changes and I'd be glad to help you work through any issues.

    SM OU My "Barely OU" OU Team

    Okay, what you've said makes sense. Toxapex is a really fun mon, I agree, so I've tried to find some replacements that might make your team a little more OU material. Instead of Kommo-o... Lopunny-Mega @ Lopunnite Ability: Scrappy EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Fire...

    SM OU My "Barely OU" OU Team

    Right off the bat I'm noticing a weakness against Ice. Yes, I suppose you could argue that when faced with Ice, you can just switch to Toxapex, but what will you do when it's gone? Not to mention, BoltBeam is extremely common, so while Tox might be able to tank those Ice beams, it can just as...

    I don't know what I'm doing ever. I just have fun doing it.

    Monotype Creepy Crawlers: A Balanced Bug Team

    As someone who uses this mon religiously, I can immediately pick out one of your biggest threats: Togekiss isn't so bad if it's a cleric or a life orb or whatever other alternative, but Serene Grace/Choice Scarf might be a game over. Choice Scarf Togekiss will 100% have Air Slash, which has...

    Monotype Mono Water Team

    I agree with the notion to replace Volcanion. I mean, Water Absorb is a neat ability, but unnecessary for a water team. It won't be able to use its Fire moves properly with all the rain going on (unless you plan to stall out the rain, but what's the point?). I'm no expert, but have you ever...

    ORAS OU Don't Rain On My Parade! [First team]

    I've been playing Pokemon before I knew how to read, but I'm fairly new to the competitive scene. In fact, this is only my second competitive team, the first being a weird unreliable still-in-the-works project that I may or may not post later. For now, though, this is my first ever RMT, so...
