I find the use of full atk evs on a belly drum Snorlax a waste. I know of no ko's that you pick up that warrants the loss of bulk investment. Something like 252 hp/ 252 def will give lax much better survivability in a physically offensive meta, and at +6 you're going to ko anything that doesn't...

Greetings all, thanks for dropping by my rmt. I'm a d/p/p uu player who has been out of the game for a hot minute. That said I have really not been loving most of the things about the new tiers simply because non of them feel overly diverse. Anyway, that said I knew coming back into pokemon...

-INTRO- Hello guys, BnE here with my first RMT of this generation. I won't preface this too much with stuff about NU and why I chose the tier and instead I'll just move into the meat and the potatoes of this thread. -Build Process- The original draft for this team was really rough and the...

In line with the swoobat discussion: The more I think about it and see what moves its getting, the more its looking really, REALLY good. Skuntank is going to remain a safe bet against it, which is nice because its such a useful pokemon already. It just looks so good on paper especially now...

Pikachu has been and always will be a gimmick. Even when you invest all of his ev's into a particular stat he will always be lack luster because he is such revenge kill bait. It has no chance against decently priority (skuntank rolls that set 100% of the time). Not to mention the plenty of other...

vote on Ice Beam > Toxic? It just seems like the superior option in this case for this move set. I second Camerupt, still.

I want to start this by saying if swoobat gets points, then clefairy definately deserves them because it was the most original answer to that rounds core which is, imo, more interesting and involved and just generally more entertaining to read. ---------- Also, bah Miltank is taken :/. Miltank...

Toxic Spikes (also, in that case I nominate we run Ice Beam over Toxic) REASON FOR TOXIC SPIKES- -Another great asset that toxic spikes offers is that it can sometimes completely change the switches an opponent would make simply because they are down. While it doesn't force in grounded...

because you have several water resists, you should consider running cursed body on jellicent. Its nice facing a 2hko only to disable the only move the opponent had to hit you with.

if you keep reuniculus, then you will have to run scald on slowking because it will be your main/ best way to check offensive gyarados. Just saying.

the fact you has a heatran doesn't mean you shouldnt run fire blast on slowking. Currently he is forced to switch in heatran at the sight of ferrothorn, and then gives up a free hazard only to have ferrothorn switch for free. With fireblast you gain no such luxury as the ferrothorn user. Believe...

i ran slowking with scald trickroom fireblast and ice beam with Amazing results because so many ferrothorns and scizors mindlessly switch into the thing

weather teams are stigmatized because many think they constrict the game's viable pokemon. why not blizzard over ice beam on castform since it has 100% accuracy in the hail? Overall, the only reason weather starters are used is for their ability to generate permanant weather with the two main...

rhyperior is a superior choice to rampardos in every way I can think of, particularly because it can actually survive a priority attack if it needs to. Rampardos doesnt even hit that much harder. Just use rhyperior. Also, while bronzong doesn't really "counter" thundurus its is going to...

in most cases i did prefer whimsicott. However, it was his total lack of offense that really irked me. Bulky waters were wearing me out and I eventually wanted a leaf storm user. If whimsicott was a bit more offensively endowed then he would be absolutely perfect, but as it stands Im a huge fan...
