"You don't like to say there's a good loss, but sometimes in a loss, yeah, you learn we have to play team basketball and make sure everybody's involved and does the little things like block out and make a bounce pass instead of a cross-court pass - a lot of little things we did tonight we didn't do well the other night.''
Nitro coach Bryan Faber, meanwhile, didn't like what he saw in Thursday's setback, especially a 55-24 deficit on the boards.
The Wildcats (7-7), who had won their two previous starts, were playing their third game since losing senior low post Sam Neff to a season-ending knee injury.
"Losing Sam definitely hurts us,'' Faber said. "We're a lot better with him, but tonight wasn't about size, it was about effort. Huntington played way harder than us. We're not good enough to give up 17 offensive rebounds and think we can beat somebody. We're not good enough to take the night off defensively and think we're going to win. Take your hat off to Huntington for coming in here and playing way harder than we did.''
Angelo Sirianni led Nitro with 19 points and seven rebounds, but made only 6 of 23 shots. Tyler Barton added nine points for the Wildcats, who took their first loss in the MSAC West and are now 2-1 in divisional games.
"Talent will take you so far,'' Faber said. "Everybody's got talent. Good teams play hard every night. Tonight, we didn't play hard, so we'll learn from it and we'll move on. If you don't come every night and play hard, you're going to have trouble winning games in this conference.''

Dave Barry

Christian Dior
"True opinions can prevail only if the facts to which they refer are known; if they are not known, false ideas are just as effective as true ones, if not a little more effective"

Milan Kundera
"The prayers of the wicked won't prevail."

Antibody-based Technologies
Methods for testing transgene copy number and protein expression are necessary for development of genetically modified crops (GMO). Most transgenes impart herbicide resistance or protection from crop damaging insects and are proprietary.
Plasmid DNA Purification
Advances in cloning techniques have greatly increased the number of samples requiring small-scale plasmid preparation, or mini preps. The large scale purification schemes of the past have given way to the development of small scale, massively parallel purifications requiring semi-automated or fully-automated handling.
Next-generation Sequencing
Advances in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) have increased both the throughput and capacity of sequencing platforms, calling for increased efficiency in sample preparation and the ability to work with small and precious samples. NuGEN's portfolio of NGS products meets this challenge by enabling simple, rapid and affordable sample preparation workflows for key applications on leading NGS platforms.
Expression Profiling
The efficacy of amplification of small quantities of total RNA with the
Transplex® Complete Whole Transcriptome Amplification Kit (WTA2) was
examined in this study. Total RNA extracted from decreasing numbers of
FACS-isolated bone marrow stem cells(10-,100-,and1000-cell samples) was
amplified with the Transplex® Complete WTA2 Kit.
Expression Profiling
The Transplex® Complete Whole Transcriptome Amplification (WTA2) Kit has been
enhanced to effectively amplify damaged RNA and low input amounts of
RNA.Total RNA samples isolated from matched
FFPE(formalin-fixedparaffin-embedded) and frozen prostate tissues (malignant
and normal) were amplified with the Transplex® Complete WTA2 Kit and
analyzed on Agilent Whole Genome expression microarrays. A call rate of >65%
was observed for combined FFPE and frozen expression differentials
(Malignant/Normal), with >90% commonality between the FFPE and frozen
Cell Signaling
Quantification of intracellular proteins and phosphorylation events is
extremely important for biomedical research. Although Western blot is the
most widely used method, it is labor intensive and time-consuming,
especially when analyzing multiple samples.

Company responsible for Soulard explosion has no city business license
Four projects by the crew that broke a natural gas line, causing an explosion that destroyed a Soulard business Wednesday, are on now hold. That after city officials learned the South Dakota-based Four Winds company was operating without a city business license.
Maggie Crane, a spokeswoman for the Mayor's office, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the company had been hired by subcontractor MasTec, to install fiber optic cable for AT&T when the accident happened.
The gas rupture forced the evacuation of 14 people from the Stars Design Group just before explosions rocked the block.
Crane says the city also hadn't been given the required 24-hours notice that work on the project was beginning. So Four Winds other projects for AT&T were halted Thursday.
UPDATE: Power back on after Soulard gas explosion
The power is back on for Soulard residents who live near a building that exploded Wednesday afternoon at Shenandoah and Menard.
An AT&T subcontractor was installing fiber optic cable for the Stars Design Group when they hit a gas main. Employees smelled gas just after 1 p.m. and called the fire department. About a dozen people were evacuated minutes before a series of blasts.
Both gas and electric were turned off for 22 nearby buildings while gas crews worked to cap the line. Fire officials brought in a warming bus for people who were evacuated.
The lights are now back on in the neighborhood. And about midnight, Laclede Gas crews were going door-to-door, relighting pilot lights as gas service was restored.
There were no reports of injuries.

Second dry ice explosion reported at LA airport
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A dry ice explosion occurred late Monday at Los Angeles International Airport, but there were no reports of any injuries or evacuations, authorities said.
The incident was reported shortly before 8:30 p.m. at the airport's Tom Bradley International Terminal. There was no immediate word where the dry ice was found or whether there was any significant damage.
Two other devices also were found at the airport but they did not explode, Detective Gus Villanueva said.
Investigators don't believe the incident is linked to terrorism and no threat was called into the airport, Villanueva said.
No flights were affected by the explosion, authorities said.
On Sunday night, someone planted a plastic bottle containing dry ice that exploded in an employee bathroom in LAX's terminal 2. Up to four flights were delayed after airport police halted security screening for more than an hour.
No arrests have been made in either case.
A bomb squad was at the airport late Monday and investigators from the LAPD's criminal conspiracy division were assisting, Villanueva said.
Tanker truck explodes; shuts down I-70 near Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A nearly 2-mile stretch of Interstate 70 in Kansas City is closed after a tanker truck crashed and exploded into flames, injuring the driver.
The single-vehicle accident occurred early Friday when the tanker hit a median and caught fire. The Missouri Department of Transportation says the truck was hauling a flammable solvent, some of which spilled after the crash.
Jesse Skinner, district maintenance engineer for the transportation department, says the driver was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported.
He says crews from the fire department, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the Environmental Protection Agency were at the scene to ensure the solvent was contained. He says there's no threat to public safety.
The highway department says the highway could be closed until late Friday.
Syrian TV: Massive explosion in Damascus causes casualties
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syrian state TV and residents of Damascus say a powerful explosion has hit the country's capital.
The nature of Tuesday's explosion in the heart of Damascus was not immediately clear. Resident say they heard a powerful blast and saw thick, black smoke billowing from behind a group of buildings.
Gunfire was heard in the area immediately after the Tuesday morning blast.
Syrian TV says the explosion occurred in the central district of Marjeh, although the target was not immediately clear.
The blast comes a day after Syria's prime minister narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in the heavily protected area of Damascus.
Powerful blast injures up to 40 in Prague
PRAGUE (AP) - A powerful explosion has damaged a building in the center of the Czech capital, Prague, injuring up to 40 people. Authorities say they believe some people are buried in the rubble.
Police spokesman Tomas Hulan says it is not certain what caused the blast in Divadelni Street, but it was likely a natural gas explosion
The street was covered with rubble and has been sealed off by police who have also evacuated people from nearby buildings and closed a wide area around the explosion site.
Zdenek Schwarz, head of the rescue service in Prague, says up to 40 people have been injured.
Windows in buildings located hundreds of meters from the blast were shattered, including some in the nearby National Theater.
Fuel barges explode, catch fire in Alabama; 3 injured
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Multiple explosions aboard two fuel barges near Mobile, Ala., led to a major fire Wednesday night that left three people critically injured with burns and created a situation so unstable that fire and rescue officials decided to let the fire burn into the night.
Firefighters from Mobile and U.S. Coast Guard officials responded after 8:30 p.m. CDT to a pair of explosions involving the gas barges in an area of the Mobile River east of downtown, authorities said.
As they were responding, a third explosion occurred at about 9:30 p.m., Mobile Fire and Rescue spokesman Steve Huffman wrote in an email to The Associated Press. Three more explosions followed over the next few hours.
The Coast Guard said early Thursday that a one-nautical-mile safety zone had been established around one barge, which it identified as an "empty compressed natural gas barge that was at the dock for cleaning."
Authorities said three people were transported to University of South Alabama Medical Center after suffering burn-related injuries. Huffman identified them as workers with Oil Recovery Co.
The three were in critical condition early Thursday, according to nursing administrator Danny Whatley.
Fire officials said they planned to let the barges burn overnight.
The Carnival Triumph, the cruise ship that became disabled in the Gulf of Mexico last February before it was towed to Mobile's port, was evacuated, said Alan Waugh, who lives at the Fort Conde Inn in downtown Mobile, across the river from the scene of the explosions. Waugh saw the blasts and said throngs of Carnival employees and others were clustered on streets leading toward the river as authorities evacuated the shipyard.
"It literally sounded like bombs going off around. The sky just lit up in orange and red," he said, "We could smell something in the air, we didn't know if it was gas or smoke." Waugh said he could feel the heat from the explosion and when he came back inside, his partner noticed he had what appeared to be black soot on his face.
U.S. Coast Guard Petty Ofc. Carlos Vega said the initial blast took place in a ship channel near the George C. Wallace Tunnel — which carries traffic from Interstate 10 under the Mobile River. The river runs south past Mobile and into Mobile Bay, which in turn flows into the Gulf of Mexico.
Video from WALA-TV shows flames engulfing a large section of the barge, and a video that a bystander sent to AL.com showed the fiery explosions and billowing smoke over the river.
The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear, Huffman and Vega said. Huffman wrote early Thursday that the incident involved "two barges, six explosions so far."
"Once (the fire) is out and safe, a full investigation will take place," he wrote.
Mobile Fire Chief Steve Dean told AL.com he was confident the fire — which he said involves gas like what would be found at a service station pump — wouldn't spread to nearby industrial properties, including the shipyard where the Carnival cruise ship is docked.
Huffman said the ship is directly across the river from the incident — about two football fields in length.
The explosion comes two months after the 900-foot-long Triumph was towed to Mobile after becoming disabled on the Gulf during a cruise by an engine room fire, leaving thousands of passengers to endure cold food, unsanitary conditions and power outages for several days. The ship is still undergoing repairs there, with many workers living on board.
Carnival didn't immediately respond to an emailed request for comment late Wednesday.
Earlier this month, the cruise ship was dislodged from its mooring by a windstorm that also caused, in a separate incident, two shipyard workers to fall into Mobile Bay. While one worker was rescued, the other's body was pulled from the water more than a week later.

White House discloses limits on drone usage
Thursday - 3/7/2013, 5:10pm  ET
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House says President Barack Obama does not have the authority to use a drone to kill a U.S. citizen on American soil if the citizen is not engaged in combat.
Obama spokesman Jay Carney says the attorney general made that assertion in a letter to GOP Sen. Rand Paul. The Kentucky senator has held up the nomination of John Brennan as CIA director amid claims that the administration could use drones to target Americans suspected of terrorism.
Carney says Attorney General Eric Holder sent the letter to Paul Thursday afternoon, though the senator's office says it has yet to receive it. Carney says White House officials have also been in touch with Paul's office.

GOUVERNEUR Christopher A. Miller resigned as mayor Wednesday afternoon after a face-to-face meeting with Deputy Mayor Ronald P. McDougall.
We talked about the future of Gouverneur and issues, Mr. McDougall said. We had a good conversation. We came to a consensus, best for all.
Mr. Miller did not return a call for comment.
He has had a tumultuous tenure since he beat Dorothy L. Vorce for the mayors position last fall. After his election, residents learned he was a felon.
In North Carolina, he had misdemeanor counts of driving while license revoked, a felony count of possession of a schedule II drug and a felony count of forgery for which he served probation. In New York, he had pleaded guilty to petit larceny and criminal trespass and was on probation.
After he took office, he racked up a series of judgments, had his wages garnished and recently announced he was filing for bankruptcy. One of his land transactions, which involved a mortgage foreclosure, a lease/purchase option and a disputed $14,000 cash payment, resulted in a Gouverneur resident accusing him of fraud.
A month after Mr. Miller took office, Mrs. Vorce who had been named part-time administrator and Trustee Carl A. Petitto quit. An argument with a Department of Public Works employee with whom Mr. Miller had been romantically involved also spilled over into village Board of Trustees business.
After his meeting with Mr. McDougall, Mr. Miller submitted his resignation to the village clerk about 3 p.m. and it was notarized.
Trustee Charles W. Newvine said Mr. McDougall called to let him know that Mr. Miller had stepped down.
I think his personal life just got in the way, Mr. Newvine said. The job just wasnt getting done.
The village board likely will discuss how it wants to proceed with the vacancy left by Mr. Millers departure when it meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Mr. McDougall said.

Open The FloodgatesA BW2 OU Rain Team by andreds The Team======================================= Politoed @Choice Scarf Ability: Drizzle EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Surf - Ice Beam - Hydro Pump - Perish Song Who would've thought Politoed would be one of the most popular pokemon in OU. Politoed! At first I wanted to go with the defensive set with Politoed, but this version works out even better. My Politoed is now a revenge killer somewhat and out speeding a good amount of pokes is a blessing (thanks to ganj4lF). Perish Song has turned into one of my favorite moves for Politoed believe it or not. Forces the switch out. Especially good for those who like to setup. I myself forget that Choice Scarf Timid Politoed can outspeed a good amount of pokemon. And others might as well, as they keep in their pokemon. I don't always lead with him and I try to keep him alive, because winning the weather war is extremely important. ======================================= Volcarona @Leftovers Ability: Flame Body EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Quiver Dance - Bug Buzz - Hurricane - Fire Blast Volcarona is a pokemon who does exceptionally well in almost every aspect. But "DAT STEALTH ROCK WEAKNESS" is what keeps people from using him. There were so many times that I wanted to scrap using him, but I took the chance. Wanted to go with the bulky quiver dance set, but I saw that it's mostly used on sun teams. So this was my second choice, and Politoed's Drizzle benefits Volcarona, with Hurricane getting that 100% accuracy. I admit I have kicked him off before, but he's back again. He does extremely well against sun teams as well. ======================================= Dragonite @ Choice Band Ability: Multiscale Evs: 56 HP / 252 Atk / 200 Spd Adamant Nature - Outrage - ExtremeSpeed - Waterfall - Superpower Man, have I had a back and forth between choosing Haxorus and Dragonite. As of now Dragonite is in this spot, because I truly need the bulk (and I've been playing smarter when it comes to stealth rock). Plus, ExtremeSpeed has truly saved me in a close battles. I miss the Dragon Dance/Lum Berry version but I was in need of more revenge killers and needed a Dragonite who could hit hard from the get go. ======================================= Tentacruel (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Rain Dish EVs: 248 HP / 240 Def / 20 Spd Timid Nature - Substitute - Toxic - Scald - Rapid Spin Foretress was in this spot, but with the addition of Jirachi to take care of Stealth Rock. Tentacruel is just a much better rapid spinner. Especially in the rain. Substitute with Leftovers and Rain Dish, what a combination. Tentacruel's job is to inflict status problems on the opposing pokemon. Toxic usually or take a chance with Scald and hope to cut the opposing pokemon's attack with a burn. ======================================= Jirachi @ Leftovers Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 248 HP / 244 SDef / 16 Spd Careful Nature - Iron Head - Body Slam - Wish - Stealth Rock Jirachi is RUDE. If you want a pokemon that can inflict status just cause it feels like it then here it is. Though I enjoy using Jirachi more the fact of it's move Wish as it's used more to heal other pokemon than itself. Volcarona has taken stealth rock damage? Switch in Tentacruel at a good time, rapid spin. Switch in Jirachi time to move of Wish right and switch Volcarona in on the next turn. And this works with anyone that I need to help out. My team was never really focused on support back when I had Genesect in this slot (good times, man) but it was vital. ======================================= Breloom @ Life Orb Ability: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature - Mach Punch - Low Sweep - Bullet Seed - Spore Can I say Breloom with Technician is better than Scizor? Is that allowed? Breloom took the place of Rotom-W (he will be missed). While I no longer have the U-turn/Volt Turn combo that was done with Genesect and Rotom, Breloom is just as (if not more) valuable. He loses his fire weakness. Spore slows down the momentum. Predicting a switch in with Low Sweep to lower speed and get a chance to attack again in a row. Really fun pokemon to use. ======================================= As of now the team is sitting in the 1600s. I'm sure it can do better, but I'm not a top tier battler and learning something new everyday. Hopefully you guys can give the team a try and see how high you can rank with it!

It has gone through TONS of changes and this may very well be the final version. Special thanks to gang4lF, PK Gaming, The Great Mighty Doom, CTC, GaryTheGengar and everyone else who's helped me out with this team.
You have some good ideas here. I would go with the banded Scizor and specs Rotom-W as they together form a very deadly U-turn and Volt Switch combination popular in this generation. They have great synergy and can punch holes in unprepared teams. I would then use Politoed in the last slot. It provides a boost to Rotom-W and Jellicent's water moves, takes away Scizor fire weakness, and provides your Volcarona with 100% accurate Hurricanes. Using Hurricane on a team without Drizzle is not very good, as it is fairly useless without the accuracy boost.
I remember when having three pokemon with the same type used to raise a flag for me,lol. But nowadays that doesn't matter. Is it possible that this could be a very well done rain team then? And Volcarona's Hurricane hadn't crossed my mind. That's awesome. Thanks for the help! Looking forward to giving this a try.
Hello there and welcome back! At first of all, I don't like Volcarona using without spinner / magic bounce user, because as you know, it takes 50% damage from Stealth Rock. I'd use Donphan in place of Jellicent because it doesn't synergize with the team. Also, it can set the Stealth Rock and gives you a resistance from Electric. Finally, I suggest you to use HP Ice in place of Will-o-Wisp on your Rotom-W to revenge kill some dragon types like Dragonite or No-Choice Scarf Salamence. Donphan set: Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Donphan (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Ice Shard - Rapid Spin Hope it helped, good luck! ~Alexander
I agree, that stealth rock will be a huge problem and a spinner is needed. One thing I noticed is my team's huge weakness to grass. Which is normal, I guess with it being a rain team. Donphan, Politoed and Rotom will have a problem with Ferrorthorn, Celebi etc. Can Volcarona alone take care of these guys?
Okay, here I am. Interesting team you got there, but there's still room for improvement. First of all, your Rotom is itemless at the moment. Please fix that, since it's quite hard to give a full rate without knowing if it's Scarf or Specs (I assume it's one of the two since it runs Trick). Second. There are two main flaws behind the design of this team: lack of Stealth Rock and lack of a Spinner. You can't use TWO SR weak pokes like Volcarona and Dragonite without proper support, and not using hazards at all is just asking to be torn apart by all those Flying threats that infest BW2 meta right now (just to name a few, Thundurus-T, Tornadus-T, Dragonite). You could solve both problems with Donphan, as Alexander suggested, but I think Forretress is more useful here (in place of Jelli). While it doesn't hit as hard as Donphan does, it's still a safe switch in for Scizor, and can take advantage of Rain to weaken its Fire weakness. Also, being able to Volt Switch means it's hardly a momentum killer, if you can predict decently. Donphan has indeed one advantage over Forretress, since it can cushion Stone Edges that are otherwise a huge problem for your team. However, Forretress can do it too, since Choice Band Terrakion's Stone Edge still requires hazards to 2HKO, and Forry OHKOs back easily with Gyro Ball. Forretress also gives you an additional Grass resist, which may be useful, while Donphan's typing will bring you another weakness, which can be dangerous. Forretress (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Forretress (open) Forretress (close) Forretress @ Leftovers | Sturdy Relaxed | 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def | 0 Spe IVs - Stealth Rock - Rapid Spin - Gyro Ball - Volt Switch / Pain Split Third. Your team is weak to Tornadus-T at the moment. Offensive Rotom can switch in only once (if it's Specs) or twice (if it's Scarf and doesn't get confused), then Tornadus sweeps if it's not in KO range for Scizor. You also completely lack revenge killers that can outspeed him, which is quite a problem if it manages to catch Scizor with Hurricane on the switch, or if it goes down somewhat. I suggest switching to a Choice Scarf Politoed, that can outspeed and OHKO all unboosted OU except from some very rare things (Accelgor, Jolteon, and Aerodactyl, if I'm not wrong). This will fix your lack of revenge killer somewhat. Also, using a Specially Defensive Rotom-W gives you a safe switch-in to Tornadus-T, and allows you to spread burns more effectively, since you're not locked into WoW by the Choice item you're using. Rotom-W is very handy in today's metagame, checking perfectly opposing Rain teams and being an awesome specially bulky pivot in general.

Doing so makes you easily walled even at +1, and forced out in various ways. Protect Politoed is not even 2HKO'd by +1 Dragon Claw factoring in Lefties, not to even mention a random Steel type, that resists everything and can force you out easily. If you want to use Dragon Claw, the way to go is SubDD Dragonite in my opinion; it's much harder to force out thanks to Roost / Substitute and much better overall bulk; if you don't want to give up priority, though, I'd suggest a full attacking set with Lum Berry and Outrage. SubDD Nite (Move your mouse to reveal the content) SubDD Nite (open) SubDD Nite (close) Dragonite @ Leftovers | Multiscale Jolly | 252 HP / 64 Def / 60 SpD / 132 Spe - Substitute - Roost - Dragon Dance - Dragon Claw Hope it helped.

The Rain core I use consists of Espeon/Dragonite. Espeon keeps SR/spikes away and baton pass CMs to boost incredible bulk of dragonite, while Dnite abuses its access to thunder and hurricane. no proper healings-heal bell, aromatherapy-means that your team could be totally crippled by paralysis.
~~~~~ whoosh ~~~~~ so ganj4lf covered your teams main issue, and I agree with majority of the changes for the most part, though i'm going suggest some alterations to the suggestions he's made. Instead of using Scizor, you should use Choice Scarf Genesect instead. With as good of a Pokemon Genesect is in BW2, you really have no reason not to use it, and it more or less does what Scizor does for this team, but better. Scizor ==> Genesect[/hide (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Scizor ==> Genesect[/hide (open) Scizor ==> Genesect[/hide (close) Genesect @ Choice Scarf Naive 8 Atk / 248 SpA / 252 Spe - U-turn - Bug Buzz - Thunder / Thunderbolt - Ice Beam With Genesect, you now have more checks to Tornadus-T (which always a good thing) and pretty much the rest of the OU metagame covered, but it's less effective against Terrakion than Scizor is (don't be fooled into thinking scizor is a fool proof stop to Terrakion, it can't switch in) and your team is kind of weak to Terrakion as is. With smart play, Forretress, Scarf Politoed & a Healthy Rotom-W should act as decent check to Terrakion, though if Terrakion is still a pain in the ass, consider using physically defensive Rotom-W instead of the Specially defensive variant and Iron Head Genesect (it works heh) to effectively curbstomp most Terrakion. A little less troubling is your nature on Volcarona. Modest was acceptable in BW1, but with the existance of Genesect and rise in Scarf Salamence, it would be in your best interests to run a +spe nature. The former can't really touch you, but getting an attack in before it can hurt you is useful, especially if you've taken damage. Speed tying with Salamance is just crucial. That should do it, from here on out it's all you man. Hope I helped!
I have gotten a great amount of help! Where to start? @gang4lF - My mistake! The Rotom is holding Choice Specs. Fortress will help greatly with the team and help with the grass weakness like you said. And giving Politoed the extra speed with Choice Scarf will help a lot. You mentioned my two pokes being weak to Stealth Rock (Volcarona and Dragonite), now would switching Dragonite for Haxorus be too big of a change to the team if I wanted to guarantee less pkmn being weak to SR? @bkt0731 - Espeon and Dragonite sound like they'd work well together. Is paralysis common nowadays? @PKGaming - That Genesect setup looks amazing. Regarding Iron Head, which move from Choice Scarf Genesect could I remove for it? Thanks again immensely for the help, guys. Looking forward to tweaking this team.
Hey there, andreds, I got your PM, seeing that you needed advice, so I'm here to see what I can do. Like you said, you have two Pokemon that take damage from Stealth Rock (D-Nite takes 25% and Volcarona takes 50%). You say that replacing Dragonite with Haxorus will make your team have only one Pokemon being weak to SR, that one being Volcarona. So, let's take a look of what will change if you replace Dragonite with a Haxorus. Firstly, you will lose a ton of bulk, but Haxorus makes up for that loss in bulk with a ton of offensive power. Honestly, that's the only real downside to replacing Dragonite, besides the nuumber of resistiances that you have, as you have a whole ton of them. In conclusion, replacing Dragonite with Haxorus is a very good idea, and if you're having trouble coming up with a set, I'd use the Standard DD set with Aqua Tail as a coverage move. Aqua tail provides coverage against Gliscor and some other OU threats. I hope this helped a bit. Have fun and good luck with the team!
Thanks for the suggestion, Ciel! Aqua Tail has not only helped me with Gliscor, but Hippowdon, Landorus etc. Haxorus is a tough pokemon to stay in against, but for the few people that I've gone against that took that chance did not expect him to be running that move. It's also a relief to only worry about one pkmn when it comes to SR.
Hey, I got your PM :) Your team looks pretty solid right now. A lot of the changes suggested really made the team a lot more solid, so I'll just touch up on a few things. First and foremost, regarding Genesect, I agree that a mixed set would benefit you the most. This allows you to counter both Terrakion and Tornadus-T, two significat threats to your team. Deoxys-D also becomes a lot easier to handle now that your attack receives a bit more investment- turning even nonboosted U-Turns into 2HKO's. This lessens your weakness of hazards substantially. Genesect @ Choice Scarf Hasty, 132 Atk / 124 SpA / 252 Spe U-Turn / Iron Head / Thunder / Ice Beam The spread may seem weird, but it's tailored to fit the needs of your team. 124 SpA is just enough to OHKO TOrnadus-T with Thunder. 132 Atk is enough to let you OHKO Terrakion after a layer of Spikes with Iron Head, and also 2HKO Deoxys-D without a boost. With a boost, Terrakion gets OHKO'd regardless, and Deoxys-D can be taken down after 3 layers of Spikes. Max speed ensures that you outspeed as much as possible. I do actually think that Dragonite definitely could still play a good role for your team, especially now that your weakness to Terrakion was dimished greatly. The thing that Dragonite brings that Haxorus doesn't is the ability to handle Sun- which seems a bit more problematic now. Venasaur can do a lot to your team even unboosted- it can OHKO Gene and Forretress with HP Fire, Politoed and Rotom with Giga Drain, and Volcorona and Haxorus with Sleep Powder/Sludge Bomb. Dragonite provides you with an answer to that- with Lum, it can take a Sleep Powder or whatever it has to and then KO back with Outrage/Fire Punch/EQ. Politoed being Scarfed and not bulky also makes the issue of weather wars arise more significantly- making me urge you to re-test Dragonite. With Genesect now hitting Deo-D for the 2HKO, and Volc being able to set up on Forretress/Ferro, as well as your own Forretress able to spin, SR should not be too big of a problem. Dragonite @ Lum Berry Adamant, 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Dragon Dance / Outrage / Extremespeed / Earthquake Jolly can be used to outpace other Dnites. The last two slots can be exchanged for coverage options- I recommend ESpeed for the sake of revenging without boosts and hitting Mamoswine hard when boosted. You could opt for Fire Punch to screw with Steels, but Heatran is already kind of problematic, as although Rotom and Politoed handle it it outright walls Volc and Genesect now. EQ hits decently hard, but doesn't hit Ferro/Forretress/Scizor nearly as hard as Fire Punch, even in Rain. Just my two cents. Good luck!
Thank you, Electrolyte. The Genesect is a weird one, but you can't knock what works. You mentioned Spikes and not Stealth Rock. Are you suggesting that Forretress have that instead? I noticed that Spikes is not really common. When I tell you guys that I switch Dragonite and Haxorus almost every other match, lol. There's pro's and cons to both of them. Currently using Dragonite with the moveset you mentioned though. Now regarding threats. I'm not sure if the pokemon I have problems with are actually threats or I just make poor choices in battling. But these are the current pokemon I'm having problems with. Latias/Latios - Comes in and sets up on a few of my pokemon. This is usually after thunder wave has been used on half of my team by another enemy poke. Breloom - Spore. Drain Punch. Blissey - No one seems strong enough to take this egg down. I come close and it uses wish. Venusaur - Sets up on a few guys. Growth and all that. Actually, come to think of it. I generally have problems with stall teams. Teams where a few of the pokes have Substitute. Teams that focus heavily on causing status problems (toxic, twave, spore). And ocasionally other weather teams (sun, sandstorm).
Hey there, So it seems like you had a Scizor on this team earlier, and the loss of him seems to have opened yourself a bit more to those threats. You mentioned how Blissey seems really rough to face, and I would agree. Without changing your offensive core, I think the best option would be to run an Offensive ChestoRest Volcarona. This set has a good chance to beat most Blisseys, and subsequently lures them, and if it falls short Blissey will be very heavily damaged leaving it pretty much incapacitated for the rest of the match. This suggestion is more to lure and damage Blissey, who can wall a very large portion of your team, but you can obviously attempt to break through it with Haxorus as well. ChestoRest Volcarona also gives you a pseudo status absorber which can serve as a niche Breloom check. I would definitely recommend trying Electrolyte's Genesect spread as well as it will give you stronger U-Turns, which your team would really appreciate. Hope I helped, GL! set (Move your mouse to reveal the content) set (open) set (close) Volcarona (M) @ Chesto Berry Trait: Flame Body EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Quiver Dance - Hurricane - Bug Buzz - Rest
Hey andreds, nice team! First of all, I suggest changing Genesect's spread to: 92 Atk / 252 SAtk / 164 Spe. This spread gives you some stronger U-Turns, and the only reason to run max speed on Genesect is to outspeed +1 Jolly Haxorus (Jolly Haxorus dosen't really exist, and it can't ohko genesect anyway), outspeed Choice Scarf Timid Hydreigon (this thing's rare, your Rotom-W is a great check to it, and if it locks itself into Fire Blast then it gives you a perfect set-up oppurtunity for both Haxorus and Volcarona), and to speed tie with opposing Genesect (this is rarely worth the risk, but there are times when it is and so some people run max speed, but you don't have Flamethower, so you can't OHKO it anyway.). Overall, this spread lets Genesect outspeed everything relevant and gives Genesect stronger U-Turns. Focus Blast is fairly average on Choice Scarf Politoed, a super effective Focus Blast is actually weaker than a Hydro Pump under the rain, meaning the only time you'd use Focus Blast is if the opposing pokemon both resists Hydro Pump and has a weakness to Focus Blast. This means that Abomasnow and Ferrothorn are the only pokemon in OU that you would use Focus Blast against. Neither of which are pokemon you would want to stay in against, and Focus Blast isn't even a 2HKO on Ferrothorn. Because of this, I suggest running Hydro Pump over Focus Blast on Politoed. Hydro Pump is a very poweful STAB move that you'll be using against the pokemon you usually use Focus Blast on, Hydro Pump also provides some much needed power, which will definitely come in handy at times. Anyway, I hope this rate helped and GL with the team :)
I'll give this setup a try. I'm a little worried about giving up Fire Blast because of it's coverage, but Blissey is popular and I always let out a groan when I see that I have to go against it. Thanks! I have to say, you guys get pretty creative with your spreads. I'm mostly just cut and paste from the standard ones. But seeing this makes me want to experiment with them a lot more. I've used your spread, Doom. And you're right, I haven't come across a Jolly Haxorus and not one Hydreigon, actually (he doesn't seem too common). And regarding Politoed it's a relief to get rid of Focus Blast. It's not a favorite of mine. Thanks, Doom! This team is slowly climbing up the ladder in Pokemon Showdown (They're pretty stingy with the points, ha). I'm not an expert battler but I'm learning as I go. For those who are more hands on when it comes to RMT's, feel free to import the team and do some testing of your own. If anyone can help me get more in-depth regarding threat lists that would help a lot, as I feel like I've been going against the same few common pokemon , and not others which could also pose as a threat.

Though I'm not sure if Spore does that job better? Some help with the two pokemon's EV spreads listed above will help greatly as well.
Got ur PM. And here I am. Not read any prev RMT's so I might repeat people But I dont really care :P On Volc lose Fire Blast. Give Him giga drain instead. In rain Fire Blast is kinda redundant. And giga drain gives you more longativity. tHIS HOWEVER MAKES STEELS A PRO8LEM.(soz for caps) so. You need a fighting type move. Breloom > Rotom W This gives you a spore and Breloom also Becomes a Bigger threat in rain as it loses its fire weekness, to neutral. (Ill leave a set lower) Your Hax can deal with certain steels (Jirachi, aswell as opposing Rotoms well) However, im going to hat emyself for saying this. But i feel DNite would fit in this slot Better. He is immune to ground (more switch opps) gets multiscale (Bulky) and has only slightly lower attack. Ill leave a set lower. Going to leave you an interesting volc set too as it will patch up proBlems with having to sleep fodder something as Breloom can come in on forretress and you need a spore fodder. Also more attack Evs on Genesect. (take from speed) And GL with the team The sets Volcarona (M) @ Choice Specs Trait: Flame Body EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Sleep Talk - Hurricane - Giga Drain - Bug Buzz Sleep Talk? An answer to loom. as you tank his hits and hot Back for a powerfull SE move. Breloom (F) @ Life Orb Trait: Effect Spore EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Spore - Focus Punch - Mach Punch - Bullet Seed Bring in on summet slow that cant halm. spore the poke or switch. the focus punch. and mach punch. with sr SUPPORT THIS GUY CAN BE A GOD. Dragonite (F) @ Chesto Berry Trait: Inner Focus EVs: 252 HP / 156 Atk / 100 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Rest - Dragon Dance - Outrage - Earthquake Only saw this set today, and its certainly unique, so try it out and see how it goes. Spore will do that Better as if they switch, then spore can still Be affective as encore is cituational, if you understand?
@EnterRayzors - Thanks for the help, man! Sleep Talk is an interesting choice on Volcarona. I haven't used the move since using Snorlax back in the day. The only way I see that this move will hinder me is if he uses Giga Drain on said Breloom. But the chances of that are slim. Gave that Dragonite a try and after using rest, I find myself needed to use Outrage and then I'm stuck with the confusion. Great spread though, keeps him alive for a lot longer. I was thinking about that Breloom and with the Effect Spore Ability, couldn't that give me a free slot for a move other than Spore? I agree with Life Orb on him (so the Poison Heal ability is out of the question) definitely. The most common Breloom's I've gone against have been the SubSeed/SubPunch sets. Troublesome. A Breloom set that has been giving me success: Breloom @Life Orb Ability: Technician Evs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Mach Punch - Low Sweep - Bullet Seed - Spore Not as much safety as the sub Breloom's but the power of this one is crazy. I switched Swords Dance for Low Sweep. When I predict a switch in and lower the pokemon's speed, I will then have a chance for a free attack right after.
Breloom wont stay in on you. And if they do, they cant hurt. Your asleep! The second they see your sleep talk they will run holding there tickle tackle in there legs! Breloom with effect spore is 30%. Spore is 100%. You can try it, and it may work really well, but its not reliable. Go with what works. A 100% acurate move that functions similar to a 1HKO > ability that may work and may not. Are you using the dragonite??? I havnt tried it or played it, it just looked cool in an RMT haha Edit: The Breloom in the set is meant to be TECHNICIAN sorry! Gl
@EnterRAYZORS It's no problem! And yeah, I used that Dragonite. He was decent but I switched back to the Dragon Dance version, lol. Question to everyone: Is there a true counter to Genesect? I've been coming across more of them now.
You seem to have problems with status, according to you notes on Breloom and Lati@s. Chansey walls the snot out of Latios and Latias, can provide Heal Bell support to clear status. I suggest Chansey in place of Genesect. I just do not see Genesect handling anything that your attackers do not handle, except for maybe Terrakion, but if you can figure out the set, it should be easy to play your cards. Though Breloom is still an ass, Chansey allows you to have a cleric and wall that can just absorb special nukes (except from stupid Keldeo's asjkdf Secret Sword). Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Chansey (F) @ Eviolite Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252 Def / 252 SDef / 4 HP Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Softboiled - Heal Bell - Seismic Toss - Thunder Wave / Toxic Softboiled and Eviolite is what makes Chansey a great sponge. However, watch out for Keldeo, as its Secret Sword is just a pain in the ass to deal with, period. Heal Bell clears status from the team, since you said that paralysis is annoying to deal with. Seismic Toss is Chansey's best method of offense. The status move is up to you: if you want to paralyze stuff like Terrakion and Genesect on the switch-in, go Thunder Wave. Toxic can ruin stuff like T-tar. Thunder Wave is probably a better choice for your team.
I've heard that Chansey with Eviolite is better than Blissey? I'll test it out. Though replacing something as amazing as Genesect is tough, lol. I'll give Thunder Wave a try over Toxic. Cutting pokemon's speed is my best bet.
UPDATE: Changes have been made to the import list. Also, I haven't been doing well with Chansey in the mix. Terrakion has been appearing in almost every other team I've went against. But I have an interesting question now. Since Genesect is being tested for Uber, my team will probably go through even more changes with him being gone. Would switching Genesect out for Scizor be an easy cut and paste change? Or would more changes have to be made? I personally don't think Genesect should be banned but we'll see how things go.
Have you considered Choice Scarfed Salamence in place of Haxorus? I have used it a bunch of times and it works great, but Gensect can take advantage of you being locked on Outrage because he can wall it. But keep in mind that Salamence can out speed Gensect with Choice Scarf. Or maybe Landorus (which might seem stupid in rain) if you are having trouble with steel types. It also works awesome against T-tar and Ninetales. I hope I wasn't dumb and able to help. Salamence @Choice Scarf Ability: Moxie Evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpAtk / 252 Spe Naughty Nature - Outrage - Dragon Claw - Fire Blast / Brick Break / Hydro Pump (Egg move) / Aqua Tail - Earthquake Fire Blat will always OHKO Gensect and 2OHKO under rain. If rain is up and you play your cards right you can predict a switch in and 2OHKO since you out speed. You can also use badass water moves like Hydro Pump or Aqua Tail if you can't deal with Gliscor. But keep in mind they do carry Protect which might make it harder to take them out if you're locked on a water move. Landorus @Life Orb Ability: Sheer Force Evs: 252 SpAtk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest (OHKO's Gensect)/Timid Nature - Earth Power - Focus Blast - Hidden Power Ice - Rock Polish / Substitute This guy can easily get rid of steel-types especially Gensect. But problem is he can't take him out without Life Orb. Since Gensect out speeds you can set up a Sub crush him when he comes in. I am not sure if Rock Polish allows you to out speed Scarfed Gensect but it might. He is kinda hard to use in rain because I really can't fit him in my own rain team but in case you might like him I put him there.

Facts about the team Peaked #1 6 wins in the frontier This team IS NOT meant to take hits, so don't tell me what it covers and doesn't cover. I am retiring this team and know it's weaknesses very well. It is made for a quick sweep and has done so much for me, this is by far the most fun team I have ever used and I find myself going back to it everytime I use it. Please enjoy. About the name of the team Saturday night, August 5th. Stone_Cold, Eo Ut Mortus, and TheFourthChaser were in a 3 way call and I was murking niggas and showing them my skills, then out of nowhere we all started singing Reflection from Mulan in Harmony. Now everytime I use this team, I listen to Reflections as I use this and it has gotten me 95% win rate when I use this team in coordination with that song. I encourage you all to listen to this as you view the team and read my last comments. Please enjoy and without further ado. I asked Andrea aka Godudette on Smogon to sing Reflections for my RMT introduction music and she hesitantly agreed. Here you all are. Give her a round of applause. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev-9mb6KJ70 Politoed (F) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Drizzle EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Hydro Pump - Ice Beam - Hidden Power [Grass] - Perish Song I have only used one Politoed set ever and this would be it. Specs is strong, but Specs can't pull a sweep like ScarfToed can. ToxicProtect is cool, if you like to stall and want to use a terrible set. This is the set guys, Focus Blast is a piece of shit move and I am removing for hp grass momentarily, fucking Gastrodons ruining my day. Starmie @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Hydro Pump - Ice Beam - Rapid Spin - Hidden Power [Grass] One of the best rain sweepers I have ever used. Normally OHKO's Scizor cold and obviously has the ability to sweep. However, Rapid Spin is it's main priority as it allows me to help 3 of the 4 following pokemon do their job. While sweeping with Starmie is beneficial and always welcome, it's main purpose is to support this face paced team. Jolteon (F) @ Expert Belt Trait: Volt Absorb EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Baton Pass - Substitute - Thunder - Hidden Power [Ice] Underrated. I had Rotom on this team, it was cool. I put Jolteon on this team, I never once looked back. The speed and pure power of Thunder is one of the best feelings. I had magnet on for a while but Ebelt normally allows HP Ice to KO gliscor 100% of the time. Jolteon help prepares Dugtrio for Nintetails, Tyranitar, Jirachi, etc. Tornadus (M) @ Choice Specs Trait: Prankster EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Hurricane - Focus Blast - U-turn - Rain Dance Many people ask me, "Stone, what in your opinion is one of the greatest sweepers you have used". My response is: Hurricane on blast. Many of the Frontier brains fell victim to Specs Hurricane early on and it is such a spectacular move. Jirachi's get 3hko'd and Heatran is the only Pokemon I have witnessed who can attempt to tank it and in Rain it's still not doing a heapload. This guy is one of the few reasons I can get quick wins, don't underestimate this guys power. Guys just ignore dark pulse and focus blast, they serve no purpose and are filler. If im not U-turning, im SPECS HURRICANE ON BLAST. No need for all that other shit. <3 Dugtrio (F) @ Focus Sash Trait: Arena Trap EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd (Please lower hp to 201 for 50hp subs) Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Substitute - Reversal I would like to start this set off by thanking Tobes for such an incredible set. Before this was the main set to use, I was introduced to this on the East World Cup channel by Tobes, as far as I am concerned he created this set and introduced it to BW OU. Please correct me if I am wrong. With the ability to weaken and get rid of some of the biggest threats in the game, there is no reason to even consider moving this guy off this team. I have killed every single weather pokemon in the game w/ this, even Abomasnow. Tornadus and Jolteon set this guy up so perfectly and many times I can get sr off before the intiial kill. By far one of the most fun pokemon I have ever used. ---Note--- Every battler longs for the incredible feeling of having a set they can call their own. Philip7086 in 2009 created a set that exploded on Smogon and had people in awe. Torment Heatran. Many of us know it today and while I have made a plethora of sets with Philip7086, and have a few I could call my own, this is by far the best pokemon I have ever used on any of my teams. Countless times I have swept, and I have never been more proud to make this guy. It was totally worth it and I am glad I can share it all with you. I have gotten numerous PO pm's and Forum pm's asking for the set and spread so here it is. Thanks to: Tobes for inspiring this set for me IFM for inspiring this set for me Earthworm for helping me finish the ev spread Dragonite (F) @ LeftoversTrait: Multiscale EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 16 SDef / 160 Spd Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Dragon Claw - Substitute - Roost - Dragon Dance With the addition of Multiscale, Dragonite is one of the best pokemon in BW OU right now. What many didn't consider at the time of me creating this set a couple months ago was abusing Multiscale with Substitute and Roost. Originally this was jolly nature with 16 speed and the rest in Special Defense but it was proven that Careful nature and 160 speed is more beneficial. With the ability to stall ice beams and hp ices and get the initial set up, I have gotten more pure sweeps with this pokemon then any other pokemon in my entire pokemon career. I see myself all the time simply sacrificing my entire team so I can just set this guy up vs stall teams and sweep. If you have faced this team and haven't lost to this guy, I would be very suprised. This is the reason I play pokemon, theres just sets that can stun you and make you want to use them over and over and this is one of them. Final Note: Im not looking for too much criticisim, this is more or less me just showing this team to everyone and making it public for use if anyone wants to ever try it or make some of their own additions to it. This team has more then lived up to my expectations. To team raters, if you choose to rate this, keep in mind it isn't meant for pure switch ins. It's an offensive team and it seems these days you guys forget that word. It's meant to pound the opponent down and not let them have any room for error. This team is very simple to use and not complex. Theres a lot of holes but I have played around every hole that has been presented to me at some point. Enjoy everyone :) export (Move your mouse to reveal the content) export (open) export (close) Dragonite (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Multiscale EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 16 SDef / 160 Spd Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Dragon Claw - Substitute - Roost - Dragon Dance Politoed (F) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Drizzle EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Hydro Pump - Ice Beam - Hidden Power [Grass] - Perish Song Tornadus (M) @ Choice Specs Trait: Prankster EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Hurricane - Focus Blast - U-turn - Rain Dance Starmie @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Hydro Pump - Ice Beam - Rapid Spin - Hidden Power [Grass] Jolteon (F) @ Expert Belt Trait: Volt Absorb EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Baton Pass - Substitute - Thunder - Hidden Power [Ice] Dugtrio (F) @ Focus Sash Trait: Arena Trap EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Substitute - Reversal
This team is similar to my team, except for the whole being a lot better. Couple a questions, why do you run dark pulse on tornadus? no grass knot/hp ice? I run specsjolt and love it. Good synergy with tornadus since it baits eq's, however it does kill momentum w/ ground type switchins. Might have to try out expert belt. Whats your answer to icebeam/scald/ep/recover gastrodon? Can dnight set up on it effectively? because it walls a lot of your team. Very cool team overall, thanks for showing me it
I edited the tornadus thing. I could put GKNote I guess. HP Ice isn't needed, nothing Specs Hurricane doesn't cover. IB/Scald/EP/Recover Gastro will not do ANYTHING to Dnite and it will set up very easily. If Gastro has toxic, that's anothing thing but I am good enough to play around it. However, to a beginner I would suggest strapping on hp grass and gk on Poli and Tornadus. Keep the questions up, I am more then happy to answer. :)
I remember seeing this team in action and that dragonite is the MVP of the team. Im thankful you shared your set to me before when i was playing it in a similar team set up and it worked wonders. Unfortunately i deleted the team accidentally, but now im reunited with that dragonite set <3. Sometimes that dragonite is all you need to win. Great rain offense :)
Nice team? I remember you begging for a win against me on the ladder when you were trying to pass lamppost at points. The nick was Restricted if you are not able to recall. Btw this team is too pathetic to hit #1 lmfao, who are you kidding dude? I'd say great job at making these beast pokes look like nubs.
BECAUSE YOU FORCED ME TO. This is really great, I'll always dig a team that uses Tornadus, Dugtrio, Jolteon and Starmie; and that Dragonite set is a fucking huge whore. As you said, putting HP Grass somewhere would be helpful, especially now that Gastrodon / Heatran / Skarmory cores got more common. I don't see your team too hard pressed to deal with Gliscor and Landorus to be honest, so maybe it could replace HP Ice on Jolteon (though when it comes down to one on one, HP Ice will always be better; and Dragonite has the potential to bitch your team pretty hard). Another option is giving HP Grass to Starmie (or even Psyshock, as IIRC it can 2HKO) over Thunderbolt, which would allow you to hit Rotom as well. You could always run Psyshock / Hydro Pump / Recover / Rapid Spin to ensure you'll be around to dick Gastrodon as well and retain good coverage, but then you'd let Dragonite / Latias setup and that isn't too nice. Anyways, just some random thoughts. Also give your Tornadus Tailwind, it could really help if you let something like Gyarados or Dragonite setup ._. Good job negres and good luck
It's like Heal Bell Nite, but better! Anyway, this is a great team Stone. Not going to bother giving some amateur rate since you'll blow my ass out of the water. Edit: I thought you said Tornadus sucks hehe
luvdisc'd fucking beast Dugtrio pic, nuff said perfect team from a perfect user, cant rate this, sorry
Thanks for the presentation, Stone_Cold! Interesting team, especially your choice of DNite (I was expecting LO Rain-Mix). Just like ShakeItUp and me, you may want to try out Hypnosis on ScarfToed. 60% may be chancy for you, but it helped me out. Whether it be Latias, Gastrodon, Jellicent, or Ferrothorn, you will be crippling them with sleep. Sleep will provide amazing support to your relatively frail team, granting your Rain Sweepers free switch-ins. If you're putting any Grass move for Gastrodon, it should be on Starmie. You honestly don't want your choice mons to be locked into a grass move, the ultimate chance for being set-up bait. Starmie is naturally a great lure to Gastrodon, so it would have no problems 2-shotting it. It can then proceed to sweep a little on its own as well. I recommend Grass Knot > HP Grass, since Starmie's primary goal is to Spin away hazards, and HP Grass would do shit to Jellicent. Give Starmie Expert Belt to give it the 20% oomph it needs to break through Jelly and Gastri. Jolteon and Starmie can be belt friends. Grass Knot replaces Tbolt (why no Thunder). Wouldn't Baton Pass be more fitting than Volt Switch? It lets Jolteon escape from Dugtrio and Pursuit Ttars, and lets it pass its Substitute. Unless you use Substitute very sparingly, only for emergency situations. It's something to consider imo. Not having anything on Dugtrio to hit Flying / Levitator Pokemon is sort of scary, imo, since so many mons can set up on it. Stone Edge / Rock Slide / Rock Tomb should go over Sub imo... What does Sub do other than ensure max-damage Reversal? Is Max-damage Reversal necessary to take out Ttar? Sorry if this is a stupid question... haven't used Dugtrio myself. Thanks for sharing your love.
Max reversal is important to KO TTar that'd be correct. I need lefties on Starmie, ebelt won't be doing much since most attacks I use is neutral damage and the extra hp is always nice. HP Grass on scarf toed is better imo since I murk lati's already believe it or not xD. Duggy has never killed my Jolteon since I normally have rocks up first and hp ice is a OHKO, unless they are sashed but they normally aren't. Thanks for the critique though, keep em coming.
oh dang I remember seeing this team on ladder just tonight actually, i think that I beat it with tons of hazards and a crit, but this team is seriously well built and has few exploitable weaknesses.
Great team stone. I remember the creation of that dnite set. Never thought it would turn into the monster it did, but you truly made it work. Also put Tailwind over Dark Pulse. Might help in random situations where someone luck fucks you.
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3569285 i made a team off that dugtrio set a long time ago :P I like your team though, truly up there with the top tier offensive rain teams.
Yeah tobes had the set right before wcop, which was like a month before that, it's really a great set. How did yours work without sub? Was it as successful? And tyvm man :D
Not bad Stone, grats on r1 ^-^ Super effective Dark Pulse hits lower than neutral Hurricane, replace it. Even with Specs, Taunt/Tailwind can come in handy
I didn't see substitute. But thats because I usually sacrifice Espeon to prevent hazards. Weird pictures @_@ May I inquire as to how you handle jolteon?
Echoing the above poster, how would you deal with a Ferrothorn? IMO Dragonite has to be pretty damn ballsy to switch in on Ferro and hopefully set up, but Gyro Ball and Thunder Wave is tricky.
How bout CM latias? after one CM i don't see ice beam on politoed, jolteon or starmie doing much damage, you're only hope is for dragonite to set up early
