Two questions. 1 ) Since Articuno is catchable in X and Y, can you still use one in VGC? 2 ) Currently, my team seems pretty weak to Trick Room. I have two slower Pokemon ( Articuno with 206 speed and Gastrodon with 114 speed ), and a Sableye which could do decent in a TR environment. Do I...

Yes, I'm totally with you. I was just giving an example of something that can potentially counter Aegislash.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already, but I just noticed that Chesnaught is a pretty amazing Pokemon to wall/kill Aegislash. Chesnaught @ Leftovers Ability: Bulletproof EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature - Protect - Leech Seed - Earthquake - Synthesis Because of...

I hope that in the end, Aegislash will in fact be banned. I have never had anything against it, but I feel like it simply has too many things going for it. Aegislash has a total of 720 base stats. That's freaking pseudo status. On top of that, it has the move King's Shield. This can shut down...

I'm with everyone else on this. Slurpuff can really rip through entire teams with next to no support whatsoever. It has access to both Belly Drum and Calm Mind, various physical and special moves, plus the key of unpredictability. Even after your opponent gets a Belly Drum set up, you can still...

I want to be auto confirmed already >.<

Wow, thank you all for the rates! I actually wasn't expecting more than maybe one, haha. After reading over all of your posts, this is my current team. I'll note what I had changed, and why for simplicity's sake. - Lilligant @ Leftovers Ability: Chlorophyll Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD /...

Yes, Fire Punch would also work. In the end, Fire Blast would probably do more since Weakness Policy boosts the special attack up by x2 also c:

Wow, thank you so much. I've switched Seismitoad with Huntail, and have already gotten better results. Magmortar's also doing much better than before. Just one question... Would adding some Special Defensive EVs on Huntail be beneficial at all? After a Shell Smash, 252 speed EVs seems like an...

Hello, Smogon. As you can see by my profile and such, I'm quite new to this in general. I'm posting this because I'm looking for advice. I've played around in both Random Battles and OU, but have never ventured below before typing this up. While messing around in the two tiers, I would...

It really depends on the set you're using. If your set will have any boosting move ( Calm Mind / Cosmic Power ), then you should go with Magic Guard. This prevents you from being status bait, namely Toxic. It also lets Clefable switch in without harm from teams that rely on Spikes, Toxic Spikes...

You've got a pretty decent set, but the one below is simply more efficient. Bisharp @ Lum Berry / Life Orb Ability: Defiant EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Swords Dance - Sucker Punch - Knock Off / Iron Head - Protect Black Glasses are basically useless on Bisharp simply because...

Welcome to OU! The best place to get feedback on your team would probably be here. That links to the OU sub forums of the Rate My Team section. I recommend reposting what you've written there, however you will need to add a little bit more detail about each Pokemon. There's a little guide to...
