Volcarona drop to A- --> Disagree Volcarona is still one of the scariest Pokemon to see in team preview today. It's potency as the QD sweeper that we all know and love/hate is frankly what makes it such an alarming Pokemon to see when a battle first begins. Being a good set-up sweeper...

Sweet Reuniclus Arrogant. Reuniclus is a pretty cool Pokemon to use, and it can hit a decent portion of the metagame. Your team, however, could definitely use some patching up. Namely, it gets demolished by any Greninja that carries Water, Dark, and Ice coverage, which is a large portion of...

I've just started to get back into USUM OU after a brief stint in UU, and I'm still surprised to see how infrequently I find Mega Mawile on teams considering how powerful it is. I'm not a fan of SD Mawile, so I prefer the bulkier, more versatile "All-Out-Attacking" Set: Mawile @ Mawilite...

¡ZAP! A Mega-Manectric Bulky Offense Team Introduction Hello everyone, I'm millionsunz, and this is my first RMT emerging from the USUM metagame. This is not my first time on Smogon's RMT, and this is not this my first time playing Pokemon competitively nor rating teams. I was a pretty avid...

Heracross-Mega @ Heracronite Ability: Guts EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD Adamant Nature - Close Combat - Rock Blast - Pin Missile - Swords Dance / Substitute Thundurus @ Magnet / Life Orb Ability: Prankster EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Hasty Nature IVs: 30 Atk - Thunder Wave - Thunderbolt -...

I have to disagree with raising Starmie at all. While you do make a good point about how it has a good matchup against most of the usable Stealth Rockers in the tier and how it has a very nice speed tier, Tapu Fini is just an overall better Pokemon for one reason, role compression. Tapu Fini is...

Blister An OU Offensive Team Introduction: Hey everyone welcome to Blister - An OU Offensive Team. First a little bit about me real quick and then we can dive into the team. I entered the Smogon community at around the last quarter of the ORAS era, and quickly became interested in teambuilding...

Hey PXNDV cool team. Welcome back from your hiatus :) To start off with, lets take a look at the team in general. First, your team has a some structural errors, very large ones. What I mean by this is that you have certain Pokemon on your team that are "fulfilling" a job they were not made for...

Also check out my first article :D --> http://www.smogon.com/articles/ou-spotlight-mega-diancie (shameless ik ik)

Hey swaggron711 cool team. AV Ttar is an absolute Specially Defensive beast, being able to repeatedly take hits like nobody's business. Although your team is super neat and original (never seen AV Ttar and AV Drill on the same team lol), it is very weak to water types like Keldeo, Manaphy...

^ Let dissect this a bit shall we lol Cough leftovers cough If I may direct your attention to these lovely calcs right here: 252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gastrodon: 216-255 (50.7 - 59.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery 252 Atk...

Hey Eoin482 cool team. I can clearly tell that MegaSciz and Mag are part of the "new" wonder trio, but whose the third? (I can't read sometimes lol) I also like your use of Gastrodon, a very underrated Pokemon in the tier. Looking over your team, it gets rocked by Charizard Y, having no switch...

Hey Anime_Fan cool team. I really like seeing Mega Gallade on a team, even though it is outclassed by MegaMedi in a multitude of ways (higher attack, access to arguably better priority, etc). But thats neither here nor there, so lets look at the entirety of the team. First off I see that your...

Alright JustPeachy, as promised, a rate :) First off, your team looks really nice already, and I like the use of MegaGard + Zone core. However, your team gets completely demolished by Talonflame, or other strong offensive Flying-Types. Your team has no 100% safe switch-in, as all Pokemon on your...

Hey Cisco cool team! Mega Gyara is a great Mega to use in OU, and definitely one of my favorites. Your team is already very solidly built, but it can be improved with some changes. Currently, your team is very weak to Offensive Grounds, like Sand Rush Excadrill and Scarf Landorus-T. Mega...

Hey StrokeOfHail cool team. I like how it's a nice defensive team built upon pivoting between godly walls and then breaking through the opponents walls's with strong attackers. However, you team has a few issues that we can hopefully correct. One of these big issues is your team's matchup...

Hey Phantoms Cry you have a pretty solid team there. I love how you were able to make a decent team using Mega Latias, probably one of the most underrated Mega Evolutions in the tier right now. Volcanion is also a fun Pokemon to use in the metagame, smacking opponents with an overpowered Scald...

Yo will you be able to battle for the monotype losers bracket tomorrow? I can also do it today before 4pm GMT -8 if you can do it then :)
