Well I am trying the MegaMence - Slash - Chansey team.... This is just silly. That was the easiest 50 wins I have had so far.

Ok I ended up losing at 117, so this is the official submission I guess. Here is the team: Greninja @ Life Orb Timid - 252 SpA / 252 Spe - Surf - Grass Knot - Dark Pulse - Ice Beam Standard Ninja lead set. On average takes out 1.5 - 2 mons on his own. Especially once the Veterans show up...

I finally passed 100 for the first time. Happy with my team so far. Taking a break for the night. Current team is: Greninja @ Life Orb Timid - 252 SpA / 252 Spe - Surf - Grass Knot - Dark Pulse - Ice Beam Standard Ninja lead set. On average takes out 1.5 - 2 mons on his own. Especially...

I was also considering SuperPower, since SD mitigates the drop pretty well

Hey guys, question on Scizor moveset. I have historically been a Bug Bite guy, which works well, but I have lost streaks to bulky normal types and steel types (Magnezone...) before. I was going to give Brick Break another shot. What is the overall consensus on Brick Break vs Bug Bite in the...

Hey I have lost to that Magnezone many a time. Good memories there. That chomp is always a bit spooky as well.

That makes sense. I think the safest bet is to treat it as the scariest Zard that would sweep my team, which would probably be X. Man Zard having two Megas makes this a bit of a pain.

As far as I know Zard X can't OHKO Mega Blaziken without a DD (I was checking the calcs). So a Low kick, followed by Protect, followed by EQ on X or a Flare Blitz on Y (I think) does it. But yes I hate that damn Zard. edit: looks like he has a 6.3% chance of OHKO with Dragon Rush

This is very helpful thank you. So he will DD once for sure and since he is Jolly, my Adamant Blaziken's Speed Boost would still be slower. So if I protect on the next turn, Zard should outspeed and go for the OHKO. Then a second Speed Boost on that turn would get Blaziken faster. Does that...

Thank you thank you EDIT: Also, another question about Red's stupid Zard X. How often does he Double Dragon Dance? Because I think I can get him if I switch my lead from Ninja to M-Blaziken. Start with Low Kick (speed boost) and it DDs, I protect (speed boost) *it does SOMETHING*, I EQ. So...

Silly question, but is there a site that shows he nature’s of the Pokémon in the tree? Wasn’t seeing it on Serebii

These are all good suggestions thanks guys. The other option is I could lead with Blaziken and start with a low kick (since it hits every zard), then follow up with EQ if it is Zard X or Flare Blitz for Y.

Yeah it’s tricky. I was thinking of just switching to a counter team but I feel like it would break the spirit of it all. I can cruise red with the chomp-Scizor-Fini team but really want a ninja team. Is there a way to calculate if a Surf Z move would OHKO Zard X? I could change items on ninja...

So I am firing this up again and have been looking for a Greninja team to get me past 100 wins, and I like the look of this one a lot. Question I have is what do you do against Red if he leads with Zard here? My thought is switch to Gliscor (assume worst case, so it goes X and Dragon...

Ok well I will 'formally' report my streak of 99. Here is the team (same a before): http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/battle-tree-discussion-and-records.3587215/page-67#post-7246057 I lost on 100 to dumb Dexio. Felt bad. I misplayed. Basically he led with Slowbro. I switch to Fini...
