Emboar is completely outclassed by infernape and blaziken, outside of a little bit more bulk and wild charge. Its clearly only viable in lower tiers and the only set that actually allows it to sweep would be an offensive choice scarf. This is somewhat like the Flygon vs Garchomp debate. When...

OK, i'll be frank, usually most tyranitar leads should carry stealth rock, i suggest replacing fire blast with stealth rock, as it has quite redundant coverage with superpower. replace empoleon with a bulky jellicent, which we basically do everything u want empoleon to do. Give the jellicent...

Um ok. I don't understand any of your natures, Haxorus should be Jolly, ferrothorn brave, Volcarona timid. You really shouldnt run silver wind on volcarona as it only has a 10% chance of raising your stats, replace it with a coverage move. If you want to run an offensive Ferrothorn, have...

This is actually one of the most solid teams i've seen so far, so good job! Forretress with Earthquake as your only offensive move is a bit worrying, since its easy set-up bait for pokemon such as NP thundurus, NP tornadus, DD Salamence, DD Gyarados etc. Additionally, as a lead, it gets...

Ok, thanks for the rate! I don't actually use heracross to revenge anything, he's just purely for sweeping with close combat and megahorn. You're right about earthquake though, its a bit redundant and pursuit or sleep talk seem like much better options, gettting rid of ghost types like gengar...

Your name is ironic, as it is a metaphor embodying you yourself, your inherent nature and all your actions.

Landorus is a good idea, seeing that it helps with the ground weakness and to an extent makes fighting attacks much more manageable when Jellicent is gone, so i'll test it out, the swords dance set and see how it goes, thanks for the feedback.

This is not so much as a rate, in any sense of what the word actually means, but i'll just try to help you out as you are making a few elementary mistakes. I might be a bit harsh, but don't hate me for it. Empoleon, you put HP EVs, and say how it has good typing for tanking, but you give it a...

If this guy got bulk up, then that would be awesome, anyway its mediocre at best, as its good spD is eschewed by its lack of recovery outside of rest.

X-scissor hits nearly everything that resists EQ and stone edge for Super Effective Damage(160Pow).

This is seriously gonna mess with the metagame, every team will have a ditto as their 'perfect' revenge killer. If Ditto still remains in OU after this, then I'll have to start carrying counters to my own pokemon!

When will the new pokes be available on shoddy and the smogon site?

Rain and Sunny day teams can now go defensive as well. With the eternal sun from Ninetales, pokemon like tangrowth and Leafeon with their leaf guard ability can protect them from status and also let them abuse rest for instant recovery. Similarly with Politoed, Lapras with hydration also gets to...

Ononokuso and Kyuremuis heading straight up to Ubers if nothing can wall it in OU. If they somehow stay, Scizor usage will spike as technician bullet punch will be one of the only few checks for these guys. Scarf Sazando can similarly check these guys as it outruns +1 ononokuso by one base...

Heres a set, Bulky DD Tropius (for NU play) Tropius @ Lifeorb/Leftovers - Dragon dance - Fly - Earthquake - Roost EVs: 252HP/40atk/216spd Jolly Nature Basically, the aim of this Tropius is to set up on a few weak special attackers like bulky water Milotic and roost off the damage while...

Hey slimman, Just a small note beforehand, I don't understand why you havent put any EVs into speed except for ambipom, as an SD lucario/scizor will be giving this team a really hard time... Anyway if you're using this for OU, - I suggest moving all the spdefense EVs for gardevoir into...

Hey RavenTheClaw, just a few things to note. CM dusclops looks a bit strange and I think spiritomb pulls if off a bit better. Rest/ Pain split should be used on this set, probably over HP fighting so that dusclops can stay around for a bit longer. Shadow ball should then be changed to ice...

Hmm.. Beat up seems to situational, usually by the time I bring out Houndoom, most of my guys aren't that healthy anymore... also Chansey is 2HKO'd by a +2 Fire Blast. I will try out the Hitmontop set and see how it goes with the revenge killing and spikes/SR problem. 2 Fire types aren't...

Okkayy... yeh..venusaur is a problem but that's why I have 2 fire types. With Tangrowth, I might get lucky and hit it with sleep powder on the switch, if sleep clause is activated, I'll probably as said switch to milotic for the sludge bomb (specs or scarfers are a bonus), then magmortar to take...
