Didn't say Breloom wasn't awesome, just saying that I think there are many more pokemon that are better overall.
I just don't use him all that often because Breloom has a quad weakness to flying, along with the weakness to fire, ice, psychic, and poison. Fire, ice, and psychic are pretty popular, and with Breloom's generation, he also has to deal with Rayquaza (flying/dragon) and Kyogre (water with insanely strong ice attacks) for legendary pokemon, which I think, if given the option, everybody uses.
Breloom has an base Attack stat of 130 and gets Technician. Technician boosts an attack with less than 60 base power by 50% and Bullet Seed has a base power of 25. So it then becomes a move with 37 base power that always hits at least twice (so actually 74 BP) and potentially up to five times. On average (3 hits) it's more powerful than Seed Bomb, Breloom's next best grass STAB move.
All it takes for Breloom to KO Lapras is for Bullet Seed to hit at least 3 times, even on a Lapras with full HP and Defense investment. Seed Bomb can only 2HKO Lapras like that.
Believe it or not, Bullet Seed is one of Breloom's most powerful moves.
Ehhhhh. DynamicPunch has terrible 50% accuracy, if it misses Lapras will destroy Breloom with Ice Beam.
Now Focus Punch is good if you're running Substitute as well, but it telegraphs exactly what you're doing and only really works if an opponent is switching in.
Gengar loses to Umbreon, Alakazam, or Marowak. Since Dusknoir and Mismagius are pure ghosts, then Umbreon takes them down. For Drifblim, I would use Electabuzz, for the flying portion, or Umbreon for the Ghost. Froslass would probably lose to Umbreon or Typhosion, due to the Ghost/Ice deal. Now for Spiritomb, which has no real weaknesses, I'd probably have Umbreon use Toxic and Confuse Ray, just to annoy the s**t out of you, and, hopefully, not lose Umbreon in the process. If I do lose him, I could send out anybody but Alakazam to take him down (by the way, thanks for not putting Wonder Guard on Spiritomb, that would've been hard AF to try to beat).
Also, I personally would rethink Hidden Power. While it gives a different type for attacks, it doesn't have that much base power (70) and it doesn't receive a STAB, so even with high Atk./Sp. Atk. it still doesn't do that much damage.

Same here, I am extremely not good. I just think of goofy shit to do for fun. Like, for ****s sake, if you know anything about the Metagame, and I know you do, you know that Torkoal and Stantler are not choices that normal people make. And I have both of them on my team. ****, I used to lead with Torkoal, and sweep teams with Stantler because nobody ****ing knew what to expect. And I even have a suicide lead with Focus Punch. Like, the ****? Who does that?

Yeah, same. I enjoy gimmicky teams too much. I've got a Gravity based team, and one that's joint Sandstorm/Trick Room. Not even counting my themed teams like the one where every Pokemon had Regenerator, or the All Weather Team that consisted of Politoed, Ninetales, Abomasnow, Hippowdon, and Dragonite. Never did find a 6th for that one.
Looking forward to some XY craziness. You getting it?
To be 100% honest, I've never played any Pokemon game after 3rd Gen, so the only way I knew of Wondertomb is by word of mouth. Some of my friends just told me that there were Spiritombs with Wonder Guard, and that it was possible through an event. I never knew anything more specific than that.
I had my preorders paid off months ago. Can't wait to see how this Fairy type works in, all the new 'mons in combat, the works. Gonna be so legit.
And lol, your teams still have more strategy behind them than mine. I've built entire teams around "Hmm, what's something weird and mostly useless I can do with THIS guy?"
I had an attacking Regigigas built for doubles and Mummy transfer in singles. Lmao. As well as a Crit Sweep Zangoose attempt, and a OHKO machine Ursaring. That Stantler? A beastly revenge killer. I had one guy I battled ask me "What the hell is that thing? I've never seen that Pokemon. Is it good?"

I kind of enjoy playing pokemon with the unknown or unused pokemon, it adds challenge, and it bugs the crap out of the people who think that only the really strong, and well-known pokemon should be trained.
I can remember when I trained a Heracross, a Skarmory (in Crystal), a Sunkern/Sunflora (I don't recommend doing so it was hard AF to level Sunkern to the right level before evolving him, and both his and Sunflora's stats are garbage.), an Octillery, a Lanturn, and, finally, an Aipom (Crystal). They were all in separate games, but when I used them, people had no clue how to battle them because they weren't mainstream, so I wound up winning a nearly I winnable match just because of them.
Hey Scenario, I don't mean to be a stickler for the details, but I just thought you should know, the Pokémon X mega evolutions animation you have is incorrect for Charizard. That is the mega evolution for Charizard in Y, but in X, the Mega Evolution is supposed to be black and blue with blue flames (and actually be dragon type)
Alike so: (please log in to view the image)

Yeah, the signature was made before Charizard X was revealed, and we thought he had only one Mega Evolution. So my sig is technically wrong, but no one had any way of knowing that at the time.
Legendaries are allowed right? If so, this is the team I utilized in FireRed. Not my best team, but the only one I have memorized off the top of my head:
ah ok, I won't be a cheap-o. Lemme get my FireRed and see whom I can replace Mewtwo with. I consider registeel a minor legendary, and is beat-able by all standards
Edit: Instead of Mewtwo:
Alakazam
Psychic
Reflect
Calm Mind
Shadow Ball
Anyways, how does this team stack up against yours?

Although I could still beat Mewtwo with Umbreon, since his best attack (Psychic) does nothing to Umbreon. The only problem is, if Mewtwo has maxed-out Special Attack, than flamethrower and thunderbolt will be something to worry about.
