Gourgeist can check Aegislash and Hawlucha, I'll throw some replays in here later for proof :)

I've been looking for a reasonable Aegislash check for my Rain team, I'll have to try that.

So is it just me or are all of the more wallish mons of this gen really oriented to one side? Like, one of them has base 140 def and 30 sp def -_-

Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone could help me or give some tips on teambuilding? I have been playing a lot and I ususally win in the ladders but when I'm up against some of you guys, I usually lose. So yeah.

LMAO wow. That guy was sad.

I just found out you can pet your pokemon after it kicks someones ***. I love it.

Edit: I love wonder trade. I got a Finnikin for a Foongus.

IK. He was like, "Oh, I think I'll just spam Dragon and Poison moves at this Steel/Fairy type. Also, I'd better use a Fighting move on a part-Ghost type."
 
Jirachi, Jirachi, Jirachi, Jirachi, and Jirachi have all been rising quite a bit in usage recently. Other than that the threats are mostly the same as they have been for a while.

Jirachi is at like 40% smogon tournament usage or something insane like that. Also, it is sitting at #2 usage on the OU ladder around 22%.

Does anyone else think that DragMag will be really good in Gen 6?

I like Golurk more, but I'd run more defensive Evs. My opinion, means nothing.

About the CCAT, just a thing I'm going to throw out there. If we go Gabite we should run spikes, rocks, and a spin blocker. Also, it'd be cool if Gabite ran D Tail and Roar imo, cuz there are times where one is useful and the other isn't.... I kinda want to run defensive chomp now. Thanks Metal :p

Those days you really have no idea why you won

That's what I was thinking, actually. But what? What would he be happy outspeeding while allowing us for more bulk? I know naught about NU.

Didn't I give you a defensive Garchomp w/Dragon Tail over Dragon Claw???

Okay, I just faced 2 people in a row using Doublade. One of them used Sacred Sword on Ttar. It survived, then proceeded to KO with crunch the next turn.

Yeah you did :x running a lot of stallish teams on the uber ladder. I can't quite get the team I want though :/

Ah good luck dude, I made NMF last year and it's really helped. You won't get results for more than a year though.

On-topic though, I've been running over my NU team, and I was wondering what you guys though of it.

=== [nu] New NU Team ===

Yraivarb (Braviary) @ Choice Band
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Superpower
- U-turn
- Return

Krulog (Golurk) @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Fist
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 176 Spd / 80 HP
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Shadow Punch

Edepilocs (Scolipede) (M) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 248 HP / 36 Atk / 56 Def / 168 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Spikes
- Toxic Spikes
- Megahorn
- Aqua Tail

Xnyj (Jynx) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Timid Nature
- Lovely Kiss
- Ice Beam
- Psychic
- Trick

Laokrot (Torkoal) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Shell Armor
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SDef
Bold Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Lava Plume
- Toxic

Esoognaz (Zangoose) (M) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Toxic Boost
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Facade
- Close Combat
- Night Slash
- Swords Dance

So far the most important on my team has been Scolipede actually, I've netted a lot of KOs with the Toxic Spikes that I wouldn't have otherwise. The least important has been Torkoal, mainly because even with those EVs he can't take a hit and he can't switch into Stealth Rocks without dying. So yeah, thanks for your advice.
