Intimidate also forces S.O.S. battles, if I'm not mistaken.

Any thoughts on using Hammer Arm + Payback with a negative speed investment?

Howdy. I was on the Showdown chat and someone made the statement that I was the "second pokemon pastor", so I decided to reach out to the first. :)

I thought I was done with editing this team, but I'm too interested in it to stop. So, here's the latest changes. Scizor's getting a Scarf! This helps with the weakness to Starmie. Set I'm running is the Scarf set from Smogon analysis. Rotom-W is going back to being more of a defensive pivot...

I guess I'll assume this one is dead. Thanks for all the help. :)

Is it a good idea to replace Gengar? That would leave me without a spinblocker.

I'll look into the Bug Bite. I thought about switching Scizor up a bit more anyway. Rather than have him as a Swords Dancer, switch to a trapper, using Expert Belt + Bullet Punch, U-Turn, Superpower, and Pursuit. Max Attack and HP. Also thought about ditching Gengar and Rotom-W for Jolteon and...

Sure. I'm always available to battle, although its exclusively on the simulators. I'm on Pokemon Online and Pokemon Showdown, so if you log in, you'll see me.

I went with the changes, and tested a bit. They didn't quite work well for me. Most people left their entry hazard mon in on Deo-D...and attacked. Caused me to Red Card the entry hazard Mon instead of the setup sweepers... Also the bulkier set for Rotom-W slowed the team down considerably. I...

Thanks so much for the rates! I'm loving the fact that no one has suggested I change mons, which must say that I made some decent decisions on my picks. As far as the changes, I'll probably be coming back to these changes to use for testing very soon. For now, I'll make the following changes...

I still haven't jumped on the Weather Wars bandwagon. Maybe I will one day. But as it stands now? No weather! This time I decided to focus my weatherless team a bit more. Rather than go Weatherless Balanced (which was admittedly hard to pull off) I'm going a bit more on the offense. Let me know...

I actually came up with this name some time back. I'm in the ministry, learning under my pastor to eventually become a pastor as well. I also like the occasional "healthy" combat, whether it's fighting with my friends, scrapping with my son, or battling Pokemon. :)

Giving a little BUMP to get additional support and assistance with the team. Every bit helps!

Made more changes to the set, after some suggestions by others in IRC. In a nutshell, the defensive core has changed to Jirachi, Gliscor, and Rotom-W. Please let me know about any ideas for improvement of the team!

The Relaxed nature on Empoleon was definitely an accident, fully intended the Calm nature. Thanks so much for spotting that! lol Aside from that, I looked at the EVs for Gliscor and did a little toggling. 248 EVs puts him at 343 HP. 248 / 8 = 44 r 1. That seemed like a pretty good Poison Heal...

Welcome to my first RMT on the Smogon forums. :) I'm trying to make a COMPETITIVE weatherless team. I like the idea of not having weather on my team, but being able to compete with the big boys. I tried to build the team so that a Rapid Spinner/Magic Bouncer wasn't necessary - and that has...
