Silent Riot I was planning on saving this team for the Smogon Frontier, but lately there’s been a dearth of quality teams in this forum. Newcomers to competitive pokemon often have trouble making teams (since they’re new). Posting quality teams in this forum can really help these new...

So in my free time I try to solve math problems as they relate to "real" world situations. I recently came up with a question that I've been trying to solve for a couple of days but I can't figure out where to start. I was hoping some of the stronger mathematicians onsite can help me get...

ZAPDOS SAYS RAWR Overview ######## Zapdos has some very nice toys that make it a great defensive check. The first is reliable recovery in the form of Roost which really sets it apart from Rotom-W. The second is its solid bulk coupled with its nifty defensive typing which allows Zapdos to...

I'm writing a paper comparing and contrasting the styles of Disney studios and Ghibli studios and could use some help to get ideas flowing. Which of these two do you prefer and what disney and Ghibli movies would you consider comparible in genre and subject matter? Thanks for all the help. (And...

Introduction B2W2 brought with it a bunch of interesting additions to the metagame, including new Pokémon like the Therians and Keldeo, new abilities for things like Breloom, Ditto, and Sandslash, and some interesting new Move Tutor moves like Roost for Poison Heal Gliscor and Kyurem and...

Thread introduction Pokémon are compared all the time. Some are considered better than others, some are considered underrated, others are notorious for being considered overrated. However, there is rarely such debate in regard to abilities, with the exception of within the confines of a...

Ok. This team is based on a dooble dancer terakion sweep. It has faired reasonably well (I’ve lost one out of the last fifteen matches or so).however this suspect round is coming to a close, and I just wanted to post this team and find out the flaws in my team building process before this team...

well i was checking ou stats for the PO beta server, and i saw something that made my heart drop. Both latias and latios are UU. this is an outrage. they are too good to be UU, even if everyone is looking to use a new gen 5 poke. i resolved to make a good team abusing specs latios, who with...

A rain dance thread has been much overdue, and since no one else has made one, i think i will do so now. this thread is meant to discuss the viability of rain dance in the fifth generation. Effects increases damage from water type attacks by 50% decreases damage from fire type attacks by 50%...

this is meant to be a balenced team that intends to eventually get SD infernape in to sweep. here goes. TEAM BUILDING well, i started off with my infernape. i wanted to use the sword dance varient with a moveset of sword dance/fire punch/ mach punch/ close combat. next i thought of common...

this team is in honor of the AP world test i took today and completely PWNED i made this team around the heatran metagross combo. though these these pokemon aren't the most common duo, when scarfed, i find they are able to attack most threats fairly easily. so here goes. breloom poison...

Well, I got the sudden urge to make a team based around trick. I wanted to have some pokemon that could trick choice items to my opponents and then sweep. Originally I had all tricksters, but I found it to be largely ineffective. So, instead, I decided to keep three tricksters and implement 3...

i started with infernape and scizor from an older team, and since they worked well together, i decided to make them my teams core. now that i have the core of the set, i figured i would need a baton passer. since, last time, ninjask passing was put under question due to ninjasks poor typing...

well, i was scrolling through pokemon, when i saw marowak. it had great attack and defense, and looked like a good sweeper, but then i saw its horrid speed. then i saw ninjask not too long after, and a combination was born. so i had the outline of my team. i needed something to cover marowaks...

ok, i am new to competitive battling, and i want to know what are any glaring weaknesses in my team. I’ve played against a few teams, and lost most of my matches, but that might be due to my inexperience. I won my last one, so I might be getting better  Kingdra Modest EV: 4 HP/252 spd/ 252...
