I think a big change this gen is the ability for both parents to pass egg moves on. Previously illegal combos open up new possibilities for certain mons. For example I'm thinking of trying Azumarill @ lefties Sub/Belly Drum/Aqua Jet/Play Rough with Sticky Web support from Shuckle. Which reminds...

It takes hours of breeding or RNG abuse to get good pokes to use in the Subway/Tower. Don't post streaks here if you're going to use AR, it's in the OP. If you're looking for solid team strategies check the previous page of this thread; I posted a link to a useful post by NoCheese.

I don't get this "Xerneas Is broken" thing. It's dumb. ExtremeKiller can plow through any team with one turn of setup once it's counters are removed or sufficiently weakened. And it can hold an item that doesn't just have one use. So it can potentially attempt a sweep more than once and...

I've been thinking of something along the lines of what Nubbins said. It definitely seems to be best suited to an offensive tank role based on the info we currently have. Specs/Scarf/Life Orb is outclassed by existing 'mons but I think the below set affords Goodra a useful & viable niche...

Really? So you're saying that, for example, Fire Blast and Inferno are equal? Or Thunder and Zap Cannon? I could go on but I think you get my point here. Just, no.

All Zygarde could do is switch into TW- and then promptly get smashed by Moon Blast...

I see potential for a Xerneas set something like this: Destroyerofworlds @ lefties - sub - t-wave - geomancy - moon blast Modest max sp atk, enough speed to get past scarf base 100's at +2, rest in hp. The idea would be to cripple its counters with TW and use quiver dance 2.0 behind the safety...

http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/black-white-battle-subway-records-now-with-gen-4-records.102593/page-91#post-4695218 Check out that post by NoCheese from a while back, it'll give you all the info you need. Good luck. I'm assuming the standard Roar/Copycat set? First off, I reckon...

My bad. Thanks for the info.

I caught onto this thread late; anyone have a link to a page with all the currently leaked 'mons?

Haven't posted in a while but last I did, I was ranting about Dodrio. And guess what, it's horrible... I used the team I mentioned in an earlier post and after about 52 million attempts I could only manage a 74 win streak. Now that may not sound so bad considering the team featured Dodrio but...

Ah that's a pity. After reconsidering, Scarf Heatran makes a lot more sense than Scizor. It takes care of some potentially problematic 'mons for Starmie & Lando-T while Scizor would really need the extra power CB brings to do the same. The only problem is stacking the Water weakness with Lando-T...

It's an interesting trade off between speed vs power & Intimidate. I imagine Intimidate has been useful? Scizor is potentially a good partner. Keeping to the Choice theme, either standard BP/UT/SP/AA @ Band and give Lando-T the scarf instead (loss of speed mitigated + priority gained) or...

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. @NoCheese Most definitely agree. Dodrio is frail as f#%* and will likely have a difficult time setting up against quite a few things. 'Cune will likely end up doing most of the heavy lifting but hopefully I'll get a couple Dodrio sweeps off. The...

Right. So I've given up on Breloom. He's awesome, but the Subway doesn't care about awesome. So on to the next thing: Dodrio. I'm thinking something like this: Whimsicott @ Sash: WS - Taunt - Flash - Memento Suicune @ Chesto: Sub - CM - Scald - Rest Dodrio @ Lefties/Sharp Beak: Sub - AP -...

Nothing great to report but I thought I'd put it out there anyway (at least it's not Durant...). BW2 Super Singles 127 with the following team: Salamence @Lum Intimidate Adamant 252Atk, 4Def, 252Spd Lv.50 Stats: 162-204-92-112-98-149 -Sub -DD -EQ -DC Pretty standard, below average IV's...

Hey Kitten Milk Not much of a rate, just two suggestions: 1) I'd take the previous suggestion of EQ > Explosion on Bronzong but keep it specially defensive to be a perfect Raikou counter. 2) Change Qwilfish' nature to Impish > Bold so you don't power down Waterfall. Other than that cool...

Hey Razor720, welcome. Your best bet is to read through some of the record teams on page one to give you a good indication of what works in the Subway. You can also find useful guides there such as Subway speed tiers, AI Pokemon and their movesets. Honestly though, the only way to get better...

Totally agree with this. Two sashes and two 'mons weak to SR with no spinner also isn't a great idea. If your opponent gets a couple layers of Spikes down and they bring in SubCM Raikou safely it's pretty much GG. To alleviate these issues I'd replace Azelf with Blastoise. The change gives you a...

Hey P2, nice team you got here. First up I agree with Princess Bri that you need to switch to Giratina-O. Yourself and Bri already covered the need for the change so I won't reiterate. My only other suggestion is replacing Excadrill with Kabutops. It may not be taking hits anytime soon but it...
