Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I love seeing Mega Manectric getting some usage. I have yet to play against one, and honestly forgot it existed! Team looks pretty cool overall. The one biggest suggestion I could give is probably to get a rapid spinner (or maybe a defogger?). You have a volt-turn team which means A LOT of...
Thanks to all of you for your great replies! This is my first post on Smogon in a while and I'm glad to see that the community is still in great shape. These are the changes that I'm going to test out now.
Tentacruel changed to Calm nature
Tentacruel given 248 HP EV's (extra 4 put in to Def)...
Introduction
I stepped away from playing competitively for a couple years around the time Platnium came out, but I have had some more time on my hands the past couple months so I figured it would be fun to give Pokemon a shot again. I quickly familiarized myself with all of the changes in Black...
This may seem like a stupid question but what do you think the best way to test out teams is? I made a team and took to the Pokemon Online Smogon server but found absolutely nobody to play with. Is there any reliable way to test out a team before making it in game?
I wasn't actually planning on really getting help from this thread but I did incorporate a couple ideas. I wrote up a rough draft today. It's only 3 paragraphs but it is hard to write anymore on such a vague topic. The first paragraph talks about X in math, in english, in computer programming...
One of the University of Chicago's college essay prompts has really interested me lately. Not only because I am going to apply in the coming months but also because it is just so intriguing. The prompt is very simple. "Find X" or "Define X". Obviously, this is the University of Chicago's way of...
[Set Comments]
<p>This Set is designed to function either in or out of Trick Room. Conkeldurr has the second highest attack stat in the game, outclassed only by Haxorus. However, with a guts boost, Conkeldurr becomes the single strongest Pokémon in the game. Protect allows Conkeldurr to be...
Thanks for the rate! I'm definitely going to likely take most of your suggestions but first I have a couple questions.
Firstly, what benefit is there to running a brave Tyranitar rather than Adamant?
Also, would a Latias not work better than a Latios for my team considering that, for the...
I used to use a Ferrothorn instead of a Forretress but the amount of fighting weaknesses I have is already way higher than it should be. The only way I see myself being able to do that is if I manage to be able to stick a Tentacruel in to add another fighting resistance.
The first 4 Pokemon make up the stall component of my team while Tyranitar and Excadrill make up the offensive component. Thanks for catching the Blissey nature. I guess I had just never gotten around to changing it. I'm gonna make it calm and I need a ghost to block Rapid Spin anyway and to my...
My team is 2/3 stall, 1/3 offense. I chose this over a standard stall team for one reason. Whenever I play with a pure stall team, I manage to get all of their Pokemon down to ridiculously low amounts of health but can never kill them off. The lack of an adequate revenge killer also bothers me...
There isn't too much I can say about this team considering that I am still learning about all the changes in 5th gen and am still making a team of my own, but one thing that you might want to consider doing is changing your lead. I assume you will want to get Tyranitar out early to start up a...
I didn't mean this to advertise. I was looking for feedback for the most part. Of course, I wouldn't mind some extra subscribers or views, but that was not at all my intention in posting this. I just wanted constructive criticism.
Curved Line Comedy is a youtube channel that was created just a couple weeks ago but has expanded to have it's own website! It is hard to describe so rather than try, I recommend that you check it out yourself and tell me what you think! Of course, I wish that you subscribe if you like it, but...
I am not a photoshop expert or artist by any means, but I have made a couple youtube backgrounds and I was wondering what you, who are significantly better artists, think and which kind of constructive criticism you could give:

I find it funny that Celebi, Phione, Shyamin, and Jirachi are banned while you can use 2 of most of the strong, viable ubers (Mewtwo, Kyogre, Groudon, Palkia etc.). Also, no stops in Florida means I am not gonna be able to compete this year.
It has been about a year since I played in the Uber tier. I got back into it a week ago and the metagame hadn't changed all that much. It quickly got interested in it again and tested many different teams, but this one appears to be the most successful for me so far. I am convinced it could use...
Both moves work fairly differently. Ice Punch can take out Latios and Latias while Ice Shard can remove faster, more frail Pokemon like Garchomp, Shyamin-s, and Rayquaza. Besides, having Swords Dance on a Choice Band set just doesn't work.
