That could be interesting; I'll give that a look. It would be nice to not get torn up by EQ.

Care to elaborate why?

Hey there, Before addressing the specific mons on your team, what kind of team are you aiming for? You kind of have a hodgepodge of pieces here with none of the corresponding wincons. It looks like you're leaning more towards stall, but are missing a couple key pieces of that.. Or are you...

I started playing with Tungstennedge's "braindead" offensive team a few weeks ago and kept making changes until it was basically my own team. I don't think this team is necessarily good, but it's built so that if you make one good read or the opponent makes one mistake, you can start...

This team seems to have trouble with calm mind raikou. Advice for dealing with that mon? Edit: it seems to have trouble with most mons that have high sp def and good offense (sylveon, etc).

I'm having a hard time figuring out this team. How are you making pinsir an effective lead? It seems to get OHKO'd by everything (I see lead greninjas in half my games). Where does pinsir lead actually serve a role? Also, is it just me or does wish/protect unaware clefable completely 6-0 this team?

Hey there, fun team! I love HO. I want to preface this by saying my changes are personal choices, not necessarily recommendations, just things I noticed that worked better for me. I'm not sure they are better by the numbers. First, I didn't like not having a rapid spinner/defogger, and I felt...

Hi folks, Threw this team together a few days ago because I really wanted to play around with Mega Alakazam. My basic thought process was "let's just put 5 good mons with it and go from there." I got as high as 1618, but haven't been above 1600 since. My own critiques of my team so far are No Z...

Hey, I'm really enjoying this team so far! Just broke 1500 and have a 70-80% win rate with the original team so far, and excited to use some changes above. Something I also want to suggest is switching out tapu lele for tapu koko with taunt - while it's not terribly common, coming up against...

Hi All, I'll be honest, I'm pretty sure this is almost exactly verbatim a team that was posted in XY OU RMT, but I cannot remember who posted it. There's also a slight chance I made my own changes to it, but it's been so long............... Anyway, this was my favorite team in XY. I got up to...

Follow up: Magnezone doesn't work terribly well with this team. Trapping scizor/ferro/skarm is great, but you need HP fire to kill 2/3 of those, which is weak in rain. Right now I'm experimenting with other special sweepers like ash greninja and tapu koko.

Hey there, Quick thought on ferrothorn: t-wave and gyro ball work against each other (the speed decrease from t-wave makes gyro weaker). I would recommend switching one or the other to leech seed or protect, and right now (without playing w/ your team yet) I'm thinking changing t-wave to leech...

Hey there, Banded Scizor needs to be added to this threat list. Unless skarmory has most its hp (not likely after 2+ layers of hazards) or you're able to get the destiny bond kill, there's not a lot this ceam can do to stop a bullet punch sweep (they'll switch out against rotom every time).

I have a question, with Mew, why not run a full offensive 252 attack adamant set and use fire/ice punch instead of blast/ice beam mixed? Is the damage you'd miss out that significant on one of the more niche mons on the team?

The changes have been going fairly well for me, but I'm even weaker to bulky stall teams than I was. I have virtually no answer for skarmory, and as long as half the enemy team is alive, nothing to really threaten or switch into heattran, either. And quagsire is nigh unkillable - I might as well...
