    Ladder Smogon Triples

    Actually, what's more important is Vivillon's hidden ability Friend Guard, which makes its teammates take only 3/4 damage. This is essentially a 1.33x boost to both of the partners' Defense and Special Defense. However, it's stats are pretty bad, it's 4x weak to rock, and having Friend Guard...

    http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogontriples-194255555 Here's a perfect Terracott! Before anyone starts screaming for it to be banned, one may stop it by: -Speed Control (Tailwind, Trick Room, or weather speed abilities) -Priority -Follow Me/Rage Powder to redirect Whimsicott's Beat Up away...

    Other Smogon Triples Rain and Gravity by rt206

    Honestly, Swampert really doesn't need a fighting move. I just chose Dynamic Punch because it had low accuracy and would be cool to use with Gravity; it doesn't get used much. I don't like Hammer Arm or Superpower because of their stat drops. If Swift Swim is still active, there's no way Hammer...

    Other Smogon Triples Rain and Gravity by rt206

    Ever since Triples was created in Black/White, it was always my favorite format. I play on the 3DS Battle Spot, and was thrilled when Showdown brought Triples. I have created over ten teams with uniquely distinct strategies. This Swift Swim and Gravity team is the most successful. I have been...

    Ladder Smogon Triples

    I remember playing against that team. It's very strong. In fact, you even inspired me to try out Gravity. I used Mega Kangaskhan with Mega Kick. And now I'm trying Gravity with Hydro Pump. Btw, to defeat Terracott, simply outspeed and kill Terrakion with a Pokemon that is faster. If the...

    Other Triples Good stuff

    It's a brilliant team, NOVED. I know it is, because I can't beat it! I couldn't figure out what made your team so successful until I read this. The strength lies within the synergy and Intimidate. A tip for winning weather wars is to use the actual move Sunny Day, not just using Drought. If...

    Fake Out doesn't work if the opposing Trick Room user is a ghost type. It can also be stopped by Quick Guard.

    If you're extremely shaky about predicting protects, you could use Volt Switch/U-Turn on an ally.

    Ladder Smogon Triples

    Could PerishTrap be countered simply by using Pokemon with Volt Switch, U-Turn, and Ghost types, who are immune to shadow tag?

    Searing Shot can be useful with Wide Guard support, and possibly also on a sun team.
