Crobat is one of my favorite pokemon, and honestly I've found he works really well in a Volt-Turn team. He's one of the fastest pokemon in the tier barring Megas, he hits hard with a Z-crystal and he's surprisingly bulky with his typing and stats. Infiltrator is also an excellent ability, and...

He's not UU anymore (kyurem that is). Also you can run a pretty good offensive set with fusion bolt/Iron head/Outrage(or dragon claw) while keeping ice beam for coverage. Also all of those are Megas which means there is an opportunity cost to using them, and that they can't use choice...

In UU I've found Scarf Azelf makes a fantastic lead. Even with an Adamant nature it outspeeds all base 100 scarfers and basically anything except max speed Deoxys-S. It runs U-turn/Ice Punch/Explosion/Trick, which allow it to counter Psychic types, hazard setters (with Xatu Magic Bounce...

The Spins From the people who brought you Carousel of Pain comes a new Volt-Turn team aimed at smashing the UU meta With the UU Beta out and me slowly growing tired with the current state of OU I decided to branch out into the fledgling tier. However with every pokemon on my old team except...

You may want to consider Flamethrower> Overheat on M-Manectric. Due to his indecent speed and decent power M-Manectric makes a great late-game sweeper, but your ability to sweep late-game will be greatly limited by Overheat's SpA boost. Outside of sweeping Overheat does nab some OHKO's and if...

True, but there's no way Kyurem-B will stay legal soon, Manaphy was just banned recently and I imagine Kyu and Deoxys-S will probably be cut too once all is said and done. Also that sounds pretty cool, but doesn't Clefable basically do that better already but with a far better typing and...

So now that UU is slowly forming, and a lot of potent stall mons (Slowbro, Chesnaught, Chansey) are legal, how do you think stall will fare/what will you be running on stall?

Running full SPdef Chesnaught isn't optimal since his greatest feature is his physical bulk, there's really no point in investing into 88/75 special defenses because if you want a specially defensive mon there are FAR better options than Chesnaught. It's like running physically offensive...

Yeah Latias with Psyshock is a good idea. I think that I'll put Energy Ball>Thunderbolt though, since they'll do the same amount of damage to Azumarill and I've found water/ground mons give me trouble. Draco Meteor is always nice but wouldn't Roost be a better fit on my defogger, who I probably...

Yeah i was considering trying to repurpose this team for UU, replacing Rotom-W with lanturn and Genesect with Diggersby, among others, and it wasn't awful but it lacked the punch this team had. I may try again soon since this team has petered out around the 2200-2400 mark and I'm growing bored...

Pinsir requires some support but it's probably the best Mega after M-lucario when it comes to pure offense, Aerilate give it ridiculously good STABs and priority, and its ability to run Flying AND Ground, which offer fantastic coverage and which few other pokemon can viably run, off its massive...

Kyurem-B should be banned immediatly. I'm been playing this team a lot and he basically amounts to a button that says 'kill everything.' Deoxys-s should also probably be banned, he absolutely destroys. Doublade is a really strong pokemon and his bulk is absolutely fantastic. M-Heracross helps...

I know what you mean. And yes I missed heatran, and sort of Rotom, but that's it. Stall isn't viable without at least most of the pokemon using reliable recovery. Also Stall is very viable this Gen, probably more so than last Gen given the weather nerf and defog buff, it just looks a lot different.

This is a very bad idea. The whole reason you'd want to run Chesnaught is for his longevity which stems from Spiky Shield/Leech Seed/Synthesis (pick 2) or for bulk up or spikes, this variant squanders everything that's good about him. If you want a bulky AV grass type run Tangrowth, who...
