Actually, after drafting my threat list I realize that I could try Azumarill out. It's better at counting Greninja or Manaphy than Rotom is. I might have to run Rock Slide on Hippo to better beat the Flying-types, but i think it'll work because I don't need SR on it all that much. edit : Thanks...

I feel like my team is a lot more vulnerable to priority from Talonflame, Scizor, Pinsir, and a few others with Azumarill on it, so I'll keep Rotom-Wash for now. The EV advice really helps, though. What stat should I take the speed EV's out of?

I decided to try making a generic sand team for this generation, because I've been wanting to use some of the sandstorm abusers that I've seen used before, namely Mega Garchomp and Sand Rush Garchomp. The team isn't exactly struggling to perform well, but I'm still testing it out on the ladder...

I have always used a number of different Pokemon with the Intimidate ability, and this generation seems like the best time to try basing a team off of this ability. The reason that I say this comes from the challenge of making such a team in the current OU environment, where a number of threats...

Ooh, Ferrothorn sounds cool, I'll have to look at that.

Yeah, I noticed that, and that was mentioned by other people posting on this thread. I've already gotten some suggestions as to how to improve my team on that front, but do you have any ideas?

I'll test out Fire Fang at your suggestion, thanks for that. On the other hand, what move should I get rid of on Sylveon to replace with Toxic?

Haha, I guess it's a winning formula, then.

This is my first good OU team for this generation, and I'd like to detail how it works in hopes that you lovely people can make it even better. As you can tell by this team's name, it's centered around Mega Mawile, one of the most powerful physical attackers in the entire game. Without further...

Slowpoke Slowpoke @ Eviolite Ability: Regenerator Level: 5 EVs: 196 HP / 156 Def / 36 SpA / 116 SpD Bold Nature ~ Scald / Surf ~ Psychic ~ Slack Off ~ Toxic / Thunder Wave

How about Water-types? There are oodles of them with many different roles on teams. Here are some examples. These Pokemon represent LC's most viable Water-types. Here you have hazard setters, spinners, spinblockers, clerics, walls, tanks, sweepers, and late-game cleaners. All of them are rather...

Sandile for D rank. Its STAB combination and access to Moxie can make it a powerful threat when Baton Passed boosts. Dark/Ground is resisted by only a few Pokemon, like Murkrow, Cottonee, and Vullaby, which can all be ruined by Ice Fang after a few boosts. It's at least D or C rank.

Azumarill is also walled by Mega Venusaur, a big defensive threat in this metagame.

Then I guess that Riolu shouldn't be on the list in my opinion. I didn't know about the copycat nerf, which is hard for Riolu to take because all it did was spam priority Roar. Considering that its stats are bad otherwise and spamming Drain Punch is best left to stronger Fighting-types (Mienfoo...

So he doesn't at least merit D or C rank in your eyes? It seems like he should at least be D for not being atrocious at attacking.
