There's very little unifying element of this team, so forgive the lack of a clever title. In any case, I've been playing for not too long, have gone through some trial-and-error teams, and am pretty satisfied with how this is going. Nonetheless, I'd greatly appreciate some advice. move 1...

I've posted a few teams on here before, but either due to their instability, my over-thinking, or recent bans (dangit Excadrill, why are you just too strong?) they've been scratched away bit by bit. So I've drawn away from the metagame-defining Sandstorm and Rain to try something that's a little...

@Howard I guess so, I hadn't really thought of Skarmory. But I don't think Jellicent or Gengar really has a place on this team. Jellicent can't hit hard enough for my tastes, and Gengar is far too fragile. I like Scizor in there because of the potential he brings with all the boosts. But you're...

@Dregstr As NewWorldOrder pointed out, CB Haxorus can 2HKO even bulky Steels. That is a testament to its power. Anything that isn't Steel-type is pretty much beaten, and I can deal with a lot of what is. I don't care about CS Haxorus, because Excadrill will be faster. And I'm using Baton Pass...

As in, jumping on the. I tried to hold out my originality and creativity, but it failed in the long run. I created a Sandstorm team here a while ago (Darude) and I'm still working on that, but I've made some major modifications over the past few weeks. Well, maybe not major. But enough to...

Alright, a few updates. I made the minor change from Ice Fang to Substitute on Gliscor, which turns it from classic Defensive type to the Stallrein-esque staller. To maximise its efficiency with this, I added a somewhat surprisingly modelled Scolipede, to serve the dual purpose of Toxic Spikes...

Okay, updates. I replaced Lucario with Dusclops, but that's all that's new. Lucario really wasn't pulling its weight with a middling speed and conflicting opportunities with Excadrill. So far Dusclops seems good, but I'll see how it goes. And yeah, 252 Speed on Excadrill. There's no point...

As I have gone over several times, I really don't see the need for Jolly Excadrill. Adamant Excadrill outspeeds everything slower than SCARFED DUGTRIO. It still outspeeds things like Scarfed Starmie, which no one would ever use anyway because things like Starmie or Jolteon rely on their high...

Bumping with updates. Reconfigured Tyranitar to be fully specially defensive, replaced Jellicent with Gastrodon, tweaked Ferrothorn to be more physically defensive. I'd still like opinions about how to best use Gliscor, and now that Jellicent is out I'd like suggestions for another anti-spinner...

Hey, this is going to sound really gimmicky, but what about Levitate while holding Air Balloon? Since Heatproof is a partially viable but usually inferior ability, I'm sure some people have thought about using Air Balloon to basically remove both weaknesses. If the opponent sees "Bronzong is...

Just bumping for more advice. I was able to get Poison Heal Gliscor, which I expect changes my whole team structure quite a bit.

Okay, back from a tournament thing which I did so-so on, but I met someone who had some Dream World Pokemon which he traded to me. So now Poison Heal Gliscor, Regenerator Slowbro, Regenerator Tangrowth, Drought Ninetales, and Multiscale Dragonite are all fair game to suggest.

Sorry to double post, but I want to bump this and also ask for more advice. Gardevoir is working quite well, though I realize that since I have an Excadrill counter in Lucario, Gardevoir doesn't need to run Choice Scarf. She can outspeed the other notable weather sweepers naturally. Should I...

Feedback time: Adamant Excadrill certainly does the job. Since it's relatively frail, I often don't get a chance to boost. Adamant Life Orb deals heavy damage even when I don't have a boost behind it, and it absolutely devastates when I do. I'm good with Adamant. Air Balloon Lucario is amazing...

That's true, but honestly I don't make the decisions so well on my own. I pick things that sound fairly useful, but end up being much weaker than I thought, or just failing to actually be effective. For a long time I was trying to make a team that had all the appropriate things, like something...
