you are supposed to use Leaf Storm on the Switch BTW. Spamming Leaf Storm is basically Serperior's job. Plus that's Stealth Rock is for
-
Why that passion? Because I love that game, because that's my style. Because I can see a mile behind if a gimmick has potential. The fact that EVERY of my teams has an unusual pokemon or set is proof of that. SubDDnite, SubCM Jirachi, Mega Gallade, Semi-Bulky DD Altaria, Ditto... and something truly horrible that has been thankfully banned.
PD I auto-censored the comment just for comedy

LOL. The pokemon of your opponent basically suck. As long as you carry a bulky pokemon (cough Quagsire cough Garchomp cough) to stop Talonflame and Barbaracle, you will likely win. Mega Venusaur will wall out Sceptile anyway, so fitting Quagsire instead of Mienshao is the best option.
-
I only count one, Volcanion won't take very well the flying moves. He will not be able to switch in twice for sure, and never after rocks. It's funny that if Talonflame went ALONE he would basically massacre this team, as the only real to SD Talon is Hippowdon's WhirlWind. That's a BIG mistake, especially considering you are basically relying on the opponent being a total noob and just sending a frail, offensive pokemon against an enemy that can seriouslt dent it with common moves:
252+ Atk Choice Band Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Talonflame: 106-126 (35.6 - 42.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ Atk Mega Scizor Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Talonflame: 170-201 (57.2 - 67.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKOIf someone carries the Talonflame, or even Charizard, and sees that you basically have zero responses to them, they won't switch it recklessly at the start if they can consider themselves a decent pokemon player, they will store it for a couple of turns, they will scout your team until they have made sure that yes, the, ehem, rival they have ahead overlooked this obvious threat, THEN they will RAVAGE the team.
And look at THAT:
+2 252+ Atk Metal Coat Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Talonflame: 170-201 (57.2 - 67.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock+2 252+ Atk Metal Coat Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Charizard Y: 159-187 (53.5 - 62.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
+2 252+ Atk Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 96 HP / 0- Def Tornadus-T: 288-340 (89.1 - 105.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
+2 252+ Atk Scizor Superpower vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Volcanion: 245-289 (67.3 - 79.3%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock.
With a Life Orb you can guarantee the KO in Volcanion at the cost of some damage, all while not making you loose your item and a moveslot for the rest of the battle.
Not enough for you? even Quick Attack, despite being mediocre, is better than Natural Gift:
+2 252+ Atk Technician Scizor Quick Attack vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Talonflame: 191-225 (53.2 - 62.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
+2 252+ Atk Technician Scizor Quick Attack vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Thundurus: 192-226 (64.2 - 75.5%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock <--- big chance to OHKO after rocks and one turn of Life Orb recoil, and thundurus can't OHKO back with any move anyway.Want anti-flying coverage? just use Swords Dance and keep the rocks up, THAT's your best anti-flying coverage, (censored).
Oh, and all this forgives that you could simply U-turn to a counter and rack up residual damage as Hippowdon half the pokemon you mentioned, and no one of them likes switching with Stealth Rock up. There is a difference between UNUSUAL, and USELESS. Natural Gift, being a one-turn move that requires a specific item and will only be usefull in one of every ten games is DEFINITELY the second. -
Royal Meteor:
Dragon Type move
Priority -7
PP:5
Status move
perfect accuracy
It stats a count from 20 to 0. when the count goes to 0, the team that used the move wins. Using the move again while the count keeps going down cancels the effect, regardless of wich team uses it. The animation of the move mimics Draco Meteor, but a LOT bigger.
-
I recommend switching Darmanitan by Adamant Victini. He has Anti-Water coverage and will not suicide after using his main attack, the speed will never matter with the scarf boost and the power difference is barely noticeable:
252 Atk Victini V-create vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 246-289 (72.1 - 84.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Victini V-create vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 270-318 (79.1 - 93.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Sheer Force Darmanitan Flare Blitz vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 270-318 (79.1 - 93.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKOI prefer to not waste my breath about Rampardos. I will just say "Try with Latios or Keldeo". Rampardos is strong, but that frailty is just not worth it.
252 Atk Mold Breaker Rampardos Head Smash vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 294-346 (86.2 - 101.4%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO. 354 Speed
252 SpA Choice Specs Latios Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 318-375 (93.2 - 109.9%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO. 350 Speed
252 SpA Choice Specs Keldeo Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 268-316 (78.5 - 92.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 346 Speed (in case you hate Pursuit Trappers)
Plus both act as pseudo-mixed attackers with Psyshock and Secret Sword respectively.And squeeze a defensive pokemon there. With so many choiced pokemon the chance of a set-up sweeper finding a chance to boost and obliterate you is enormous.
See? Not having a boosting item destroys the utility of the massive 165 base attack.
EDIT: LOL You are running BOTH Darmanitan and Victini? Isn't that quite redundant? Try to run something with Volt Switch instead of Darmanitan. Preferably, Choice Scarf Rotom-W or Choice Specs Raikou to make sure you don't get ravaged by Flying Types (no, Rampardos is too frail to survive even resisted hits, look at that):
252+ Atk Choice Band Reckless Staraptor Brave Bird vs. 36 HP / 0 Def Rampardos: 276-325 (80.2 - 94.4%) -- 50% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock -
Lol, Since when Coba Bery HP Rock Serperior is common? Plus you get fun regardless of what you use lol. If not, those "common mons" would have never become common...
-
I prefer not to talk about how bad natural gift is, especially on a SD+Uturn set without recovery... Wouldn't it be more usefull to carry Coba Berry Serperior with Hidden Power Rock instead? Scizor will never outspeed or survive a hit from any of those pokemon, and you can't just use Natural Gift on the switch as you only have one chance to use the move in the entire battle. Coba Berry Hidden Power Rock Serperior will do it better and if you use it at mistime, the opponent will likely not realize it's Hidden Power Rock, with the benefit that regardless if the opponent sees it, Serperior gets shielded against those pokemon. Don't use Natural Gift. It sucks. Seriously.
Plus Scizor can heavily dent all those bar Talonflame and Charizard (lured on, outspeed and OHKOed by Serperior) with Superpower (that will also hit Heatran, Empoleon and Excadrill, all common Scizor Switch-ins), or grab momentum with U-turn, likely to Serperior that will finish them off via HP rock. Of course, this means switching to Choice Band or Life Orb Roost+3 attacks Scizor.
Plus what are you outspeeding with that Volcanion? Weavile? Definitely not the megas you said lol, even max speed does not come close:
262*1,5=393<405
256*1,5=384 that just barely outspeeds Weavile, but you already have Scizor. Is that all the reason?

Icy Wave: Exclusive of Empoleon
Basically Surf but with a 20% chance to freeze

Wihout a doubt the most beloved video game soundtrack is the main theme of the LJN Video Art. All analog TVs are now exclusively dedicated to broadcast it.
(In case you didn't get the joke, that crap knockoff of Paint uses static as the background music, no really)

WTF IS A SONIC/10

Too reminiscent of Suicune/10

Well, the title says it all, Dragonite has been my one of my two favourite pokémon (the other being Empoleon) from a long time and i would like to use him again on the reborn game..
-
I'm more of an adamant and modest player. I will play jolly and timid where that speed boost is crucial, usually around the 110 speed tier, but I will go for the extra damage if not. 650 attack Azumarill is best Azumarill.
yeah, azumarrill won't be outspeeding anything anyway. he is slow as a rock.
my favourites are jolly and timid, i tend to focus on speed on my teams. the only exceptions are mamoswine who needs adamant to have a chance to kill skarmory with Icicle Hax, the Calm defogger Empoleon and the two excadrill i run for hazard control and for SS, and the Hippowdon who is just there to provide the aftermentioned sandstorm. oh, and the Quiet Aegislash, for obvious reasons

Not a big fan of spinner Claydol. He gets spinblocked so easily it's not even funny. Consider running Prinplup, Swanna, Avalugg or Armaldo instead. I recommend defog due to having two SR weak mons

-
-Quite a bit random, but does well against offense. I feel that I need to squeeze Latios somewhere, to break down walls.
-
Consider running Talonflame itemless and with Acrobatics. The lack of recoil is worth the (120*1.2)-110=144-110) 34 base power difference
-
I am now firmly in the camp of people who hate Chansey T___T
Also it didn't really put it much work here but I've been really enjoying SpA lure D-nite. I've included the set below incase anyone is interested. IV's mean you net the OHKO on Heatran with EQ, Chomp/Lando with Ice-beam and M-scizor with Flamethrower. Flamethrower is a solid 2hit-KO against Ferro. Agility lets you put in some work late game against things like weakened M-diancie or Bisharp
Dragonite @ Expert Belt
Ability: Inner FocusShiny: YesEVs: 252 HP / 20 Atk / 108 SpA / 128 SpeModest Nature- Agility- Ice Beam- Earthquake- FlamethrowerWhy Inner Focus? Plus try Acrobawesome and forget about Brave Shit. Your Talonflames will apreciate not dying in the middle of a sweep
-
I remember you and your defensive Dragonite. Welcome back.
Better for you not to forget him, because even on ORAS I still run it on two teams
-
Why exactly Lonely nature on Altaria? Why not Adamant that does the same thing to attack but reduces your unused special attack?
-
Welcome back. You should join Pokenations if you really wanna battle. I used to play on the reborn ladder myself a few years ago and your name is familiar. The signup thread is in the subforum if ur interested.
