Reserving rotom-w

Thank you very much, Leftiez, for your support and suggestions. After trying this team on the ladder for a few trials, I have also come round to the view that Starmie still gets worn down too fast, as you said, from sandstorm and Life Orb recoil, despite having access to Recover - thereby making...

Hello everyone, (V)Iridescent here. It's been a very long time, almost two months, since I've been able to make some kind of presence on Smogon or PS!, mostly owing to final exams and persistent illness. It's been a week or so since I've come to life, so to speak, and I've had little time to...

Ok guys, I never claimed MixMence to be even half as good as the DD sets, which everyone (myself included) uses themselves. But to progress the discussion, I will nominate this Darkrai: Darkrai @ Focus Sash / Life Orb EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Thunder Wave - Dark Void -...

Nominating Yveltal as an offensive check: Yveltal @ Life Orb Ability: Dark Aura EVs: 24 HP / 48 Atk / 252 SpA / 184 Spe Mild Nature - Dark Pulse - Oblivion Wing - Sucker Punch - Taunt / U-Turn / Focus Blast Yveltal is a very good check to any variant of special attacking Mewtwo, including...

Reserving landorus-t Scratch that. Let's try something new: reserving Shaymin-Sky

Thanks very much for clarifying that; I of course won't want to hog votes or posts at all. I am only glad that I am allowed to share my ideas; I will accept your suggestion and wait for my turn.

On a point of order, can one post multiple entries, or is one restricted to a single nomination?

Well, I agree with you quite completely on that. That's probably the reason why Special Salamence isn't really used. In fact, I admitted to the fact that the DD sets are enormously more powerful. It's just that this is one of the sets I could recall that can work, if only for the surprise factor...

I'm still uncertain about this, but I'm going to submit Special MegaMence as my entry: Specially based MixMence Salamence @ Salamenceite Ability: Intimidate (Aerilate) EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Naive Nature - Hyper Voice - Fire Blast - Earthquake / Draco Meteor / Double Edge - Double Edge...

Um, SparksBlade, I'm not sure how Primal Groudon can act as a counter or even a check to this Mega Diancie. As per your own calculations, and supported by these others, the only way Groudon can prevail over Diancie is if it is able to set up a Rock Polish, i.e., it already is at +2, it goes up...

Point taken. Still, as underrated sets go, it isn't bad and can still do a decent job.

Nominating Arceus-Water, for it isn't half bad as a strong check and potential counter: Arceus-Water @ Splash Plate Ability: Multitype EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 Spe Alternate EVs: 248 HP / 84 spD / 176 Spe Timid Nature - Calm Mind - Judgement - Recover - Refresh / Ice Beam / Will-O-Wisp...
