Yes, but as you can see, they are in the talks of banning Buzzwole, which would mean you will not be able to run it as a check for these 2 Pokemons. This begs the question, who would check Mamoswine and M-Swampert once you remove their biggest deterrent, and be able to switch into them without...

I reckon we should take a look at Mamoswine and M-Swampert as well, because so far, I don't know any UU Pokemon apart from Alomomola that can reliably switch into these 2 Pokemons without being 2HKO'd.

Mega Swampert seems a bit too strong for UU. Step 1 : Switch-in on a resist. Step 2 : Mega-Evolve + Rain Dance. Activate Swift Swim. Step 3: Sweep with 120 BP Waterfall, Earthquake and Ice Punch. Really hard to stop lategame without an Alomomola / Ninetales - Alola.

Can a moderator or admin open this link for me and post/send the information here? http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/the-wrath-of-god-a-holy-war-story.85126/ This was the greatest war story of all time and I really want to read it again.

I admire the effort you have gone through with this post, but I must disagree with some of these selections. Moving Suicune to the same level as Volcanion, Slowbro and Tentacruel seems to be a bit of an oversight. While Suicune does have a nice niche, offensively it is outclassed by other bulky...

Blissey @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 172 HP / 252 Def / 84 SpA Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Wish - Protect - Toxic - Fire Blast Your ordinary Blissey but with a twist, I've been running this set for quite a while, and I can confirm it is really effective. Oftentimes, the number one...

I currently have 4 accounts in the UU Top 500. Recently I've been running an interesting Infernape set to moderate success. Infernape @ Normalium Z Ability: Blaze EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Encore - Close Combat - Flare Blitz Basically, I switch in on a...

I'm fine with Haxorus staying where it is, the abundance of fairy types make it very tough for a mono-type dragon to shine. But I agree mega sharpedo should definitely can moved to S rank or even banned to BL. It is such a ridiculously huge threat lategame that teams need to build specifically...

Yeah it is a bit annoying. But most of the time Conkeldurr leads. So if it is up against my Aggron, I can take a Drain Punch and then OHKO back with Counter. But yeah, I just try to play around it and most of the time it's alright I guess. Knock Off doesn't do that much to Jellicent if I have...

Hey guys, I'll keep this short and sweet. I took a 2 year hiatus from Pokemon but decided to play again. I made this team 2 days ago and I've managed to do quite well with it in the UU Suspect Test Ladder. I always take a very formulaic approach when it comes to team-building (whether it is...

Great team, but I'm honestly not sold on Misdreavus. I currently run a bulky Jellicent as my spinblocker and I think it might be superior to Misdreavus. Jellicent can basically run the same movepool (Will-o-Wisp, Taunt, Recover, Scald/Surf/Hex) and has better typing, bulk and access to more...

On your Gliscor, try running Taunt over Roost. Poison heal already provides a significant amount of regeneration. It also allows Gliscor to completely set-up against walls such as Skarmory without fear of whirlwind.

Solid Team. I think you should try testing Tyranitar-Mega over Ampharos. With Sand Stream, Tyranitar is one of the most specially defensive pokemon in the game and can easily soak up big hits while dishing out a lot of damage as well. Sandstorm also synergises well with your stall team.

I kinda want to put this out there to highlight a more obscure aspect of prediction. I've seen no previous guides ever mention of this, but I believe it can hold some degree of value to lower and intermediate level players. There has been many discussions over the creation of the perfect team or...

Nah i think tyranitar is fine. Keep in mind this is not a sweeper tyranitar, more a tank. I might just change pursuit to payback and earthquake to stone-edge to capitalise on his massive attack, otherwise its just a waste giving him a tyranitarite. Defensive heatrans usually carry balloons, and...
