I feel as though fire punch would be better on your band dragonite than stone edge since with it it can now beat ferrothorns and Forretress. Super effective stone edge does only 20 bp more damage than a stab neutral outrage while having 20% less accuracy. Also maybe discharge instead of t-bolt since it has a higher paralyze rate and would help band night and Escavalier a lot. Also i think sludge wave would be better on gengar since the extra base power does seem to help a lot in situations atlest from the ones i have been in and its higher poison rate might actually hurt you if you want opponent to actually be paralized. Other than that team seems pretty solid. you do give quite some tough matches with this team on ladder.

congratz to the both of you

.

o; maybe inverse monotype with normal being banned ?_? seems good y/n

everything seems good maybe a vote on genesect and regular blazakin since i think some people might be shy to post their opinions but yea they should be implemented which renzo said and 6g ou should be default!!

100th reply.... sorry had to do it <: . But while where in this subject how about the newly released pokemon i think diancie is definately OU material but i'm not so sure about the mega latios and latias. there base stats and moves are in serebii.

Seeing his other posts though, i would not be surprised if he was trolling. Anyway mine Was blue eye white dragon mainly because it is only card I know.

GImmick   Azumarill (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Thick Fat/Sap Sipper EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Whirlpool - Perish Song - Protect - Rest/Dig/playrough/knockoff/waterfall/toxic   With Mega Gengar most likely to be banned one might think that the Perish trap no longer exist but they are WRONG! Azumarill is a pretty bulky pokemon and with the buff to 3-5 turn trap moves like infestation/firespin and whirlpool. this works pretty well against stall teams. Pretty much trap pokemon with whirlpool and than use perish song to kill them. yea i used it once and it beat a chancy and no one even expects it altho no one switches it in on a chancy or a blissey on an Azumarill. dig is to protect your self while you wait for perish song to reach zero and protect does the same thing. you could give it sap sipper but it can't learn dig so you have to teach it something else but you can trap grass pokemon who don't know poison moves. eves for defense are random i guess i don't really know best eves or nature for it but just make sure you have max hp and the rest spread out well in defenses.

moody makes me moody i guess there is also haze or perish song but ... no Heavy offensive team (whithout a politoed) will carry that. as stated i'm for anything that makes competitive play less favorable to luck so i vote yea for it being gone

manaphy has been doing pretty fine in PO and smogon. At one point it was even considered UU in PO. Only thing going for it is tail glow but lacks the speed to effectively sweep most teams. Also, it has the same base stat as pokes such as celebii,mew,shaymin and jirachi also @ Beba I am neutral about a genesect ban but let us be honest, i think any pokemon with ice beam is going to 1 hit ko rayquaza

happy b-day

Anything that makes the game less luck based and more skill based ( like banning swagger ) is fine by me.

yea i kinda agree about both the blazakins being banned and the reason for this is that the only REAL hard counters are talonflame and maybe mega pinsir( nvm only a check). This is because if there is a threat, chances are blazakin can usually outspeed and than baton pass out of there to another pokemon who can probably tank moves like eq or counter blazkin's counter such as jellicant and get a huge speed boost (and maybe attack boost). Difference between blazakin and scolipede is that blazakin can actually sweep pretty easily and can also be both a phisical attacker or a special attacker while scelepede can only be phisical and can be walled by many common pokemon (especially if it decided to run baton pass) such as landorus-t and skarmory and does not have the awesome coverage that blazakin has in general. mawile is fine imo i mean maybe in trick room it's good but trick room already has it's own flaws (having a pokemon [or multiple pokemon] to set it up while not being taunted and than losing a turn because you have to switch to mawile) and outside of trick room the only move it can use to hit faster pokemon which are bulky is a non stab sucker punch. With common pokes such as lando-t roaming around i don't think it should be much of a problem to deal with.

pretty good team. a few question though why Florges instead of Sylveon? Sylveon is a little better since hypervoice gets a considerable boost and is slightly more defensively bulky. Heatran with roar is a problem for team. You have azumarill but once it dies nothing can touch heatran so maybe have aurasphere on togakiss so it can do some damage to heatran as well. flamethrower hits grass and bug pokemon which air slash already does so you have some overlapping coverage and aurasphere can still hit ice pokemon. Also waterfall on azumaril instead of knock off since it will hit heatran harder and is a much stronger stab move than just aqua-jet. overall though, not a bad monotype team. :]

haha it's cool :] and thanks Notus ^^ i hope to see you in next one.
