I really don't think I can play without Smogon rules. Which is why I'll probably only be battling friends online.

Finally got my team fully EV trained. Very proud of how my Metagross, Rotom-W and Roserade ended up, they tore the Battle Institute a new one (6145 points, my new record, with Metagross sweeping everything).

Salamence hasn't really been tried mostly because I haven't found the need to (i'm quite familiar with a Moxie DD from Pokemon-Online times) and Heracross is Revenge Killer material. Weakness Policy Multiscale Dragonite is a whole new ball-game to the meta, so it'll be fun to try it properly on battles, once I actually have enough BP to buy one (had to buy Specs and Band first).

All in all, in another day or two, i'm ready to take on all-comers .

My Weakness Policy Dragonite sucks, gets OHKOd all the time =(

Also Rocks and Spikes fuck everything

That's why i'm using Roost in my Dragonite. Come in on a pokemon that has to switch out, Roost out the entry hazard damage, DD while waiting for that inevitable 2x or 4x weakness attack (people love to go for those against Dragonite online), activate Weakness Policy = Profit. 

What nature is your Dragonite? I think this only works if you're using a Jolly one, otherwise Dragonite will be too slow, even with a +1 boost from DD.

Edit - If it doesn't work out in the end, I might swap out Dragonite for Timid Protean Greninja @ Life Orb (thanks to _crazy_man_ for this one).

Yeah I think I need a bulky Dragonite or Roost. Most the time he is hit 4x and taken down to 25% HP then they use priority attacks

A shame we can't (currently) make an Extremspeed Dragonite. Once the pokebank opens, i'm bringing that badass over to breed it with my current one, and then I'll have those Priority users on a plate .

ES Multiscale Dragonite would make the Weakness Policy build shine. Second turn +3 ES? Few pokes would resist that, especially if it comes from an Adamant Dragonite. Swords Dance would be overkill and would leave you wide open to fast ghost types.

Oh man so much hax in the Chateau it's not even funny. Got hit by 5 Thunders in a row by a Zebstrika that had Quick Claw.

Turn 1: Salamence goes out, Earthquake is used, QC activates for Zebstrika, Thunder hits, paralyzes me, can't use Earthquake because i'm paralyzed, down to 32 % health

Turn 2: Switch to Metagross, Zebstrika uses Thunder, brings me down to 55%

Turn 3: Metagross uses Earthquake, Zebstrika uses Thunder, critical, Metagross KO

Turn 4: Bring out Roserade, use Sleep Powder, QC activates, Zebstrika uses Thunder, paralyzes me, can't move because i'm paralyzed

Turn 5: Zebstrika uses Flame Charge, KOs Roserade

Turn 6: Salamence comes out, Zebstrika uses Thunder, KOs Salamence.

Well damn....
