Cartoons! CyzirVisheen aragornbird

Outrage gives the highest possible damage output, and it deals a lot more to Blissey, as well as most other things. Salamence's job is basically to spam Draco Meteor for the early/mid-game, using Earthquake and Fire Blast where appropriate to take out other things, then use Outrage as its swan...

Jenica: Waterfall/Earthquake gets walled by Salamence, Latias, other Gyarados, and any grass type. Waterfall/Frustration is only resisted by Empoleon and the rare Shedinja. HP Fighting is pretty much exclusively to hit Tyranitar. EQ on leads hasn't been too much of a problem, in my...

jc104: Yeah, the slow U-turn is always great, which is why I was wondering especially about the 32 speed on corncake's Scizor spread. I think maybe Surf/Draco Meteor from a Life Orb Latias is a bit of a high benchmark to hit, but I'll see what works.

Golden Sun: Return and Frustration are equivalent in Shoddy; both are 102 base power Normal moves. However, Frustration sounds far cooler. dan3067: I've considered that, but Aerodactyl leaves my team even more Ice-weak than it already is, while Empoleon provides a crucial 4x Ice resist and a...

jc104: I had to do the calcs to believe it, but you're right! Of the leads I can think of, Dragonite and Mamoswine are the only ones that can OHKO Empoleon with Earthquake. Chople berry added. Corncake22: Latias is there because it fits well type-wise, and Starmie would only exacerbate my...

At a glance: Hey, Smogon, I'm back with a team I've been using and slowly altering for months. It plays like a dream, and I love it to death. The idea is that every member of the team is an immediate threat to be dealt with, keeping pressure on the opponent and hopefully getting him...

Voted Fighting, for the same reasons as above. Stealth rock resistance is key.

I see what you're saying, george182, but the thing I dislike most about Electivire is that it adds yet another ground weak to this team, so if I added it, I'd have three weaknesses and only two immunities to ground, which is a massive problem when Earthquake is the most common move in the game...

Hey, thanks for the advice everyone! I've never had such rapid response to an RMT. First, a major change: Ultimania92, I agree with you that Jirachi is the weak link of the team. I'm going to try an offensive Calm Mind Raikou@Life Orb with Thunderbolt/Shadow Ball/Hidden Power Fighting/Calm...

At a glance: Hiya, Smogon! Long-time lurker, sixth-time poster with a team that I conceived, built, and fine-tuned in my Macroeconomics class (hence the name, and the nicknames; they're all people I've met in my studies in Economics). I really wanted to try Sub/Calm Mind Jirachi, so I...

When I save my team, it isn't saving the nicknames of the pokemon (which is a real problem for me, because the team names are probably better and more creative than the team itself). Any help for getting Shoddy to actually save the nicknames?

What's a typical lead Gliscor set/EV spread? I can't find a specific lead set in the analysis, but the Stallbreaker set looks about right; is it?

august: Thanks for the suggestions! I've been using the Swampert, and it works great, along with most of your other suggestions. I'm not sold on Grass knot yet (it doesn't get a lot of use so far), but Timid Latias and Crunch for Lucario were definitely helpful. I'll try out Timid Rotom-H...
