How would I get on the balance servers? Sorry if I'm asking a very stupid question.

Edit: Never mind, figured it out.

OK these 2 are my main questions:

-Why Bold on Mamoswine?

I ask, because you are lowering it's Attack just to raise Defense. It's a physical sweeper, go with Adamant, lowers Sp.Atk instead of lowering it's Attack. Especially since you have no Sp.Moves on it.

-Why Jolly on Froslass?

Same thing as with Mamoswine except using Timid nature to lower Attack to raise Speed, seeing as you gave it all Sp.Moves in place of Ph.Moves

[The-Blades-slave]

Ok, Mamoswine is really just the pokemon I designed to take out fire types, that said I'll probably change his ability to thick fat. With Froslass, I'll change its nature timid like you said.

[Pokemaster MAC]

But yeah, the idea of Giga Impact replaced with Stone Edge/Rock Slide is a good idea too. If there was a better idea i'd say so on the moveset

[The-Blades-slave]

I've already changed giga impact with stone edge.

[Chad29]

Thick fat should probably always go on Mamoswine, since it removes a weakness and gives him a resistance.

[Bing]

If you're looking for a good froslass set, you can always go with this.

This what I now have, and I hope it's easier to read now Roloc.

[Mr. Fox]

The biggest problem I see with your team is items, most of them have bright powder... 4/6 have it...

[The-Blades-slave]

Well Beartic and Glaceon have it for a reason, nut I just don't know what to give Weavile and Vanilluxe.

[Roloc]

I'll start off by saying I haven't been on the normal servers in a while. I prefer the balance server now so my thoughts on pokemon are way different then what they would be on the normal servers.

Well for one your spreading your EVs out to much. Try to keep them in as few stats as possible. Like on Weavile, it should be all Attack and Speed.

Mamoswine (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk  / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Icicle Crash
- Earthquake
- Hail
- Stone Edge

Weavile (F) @ Choice Band
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Speed, -SpAtk)
- Pursuit
- Night Slash
- Ice Shard
- Brick Break

Those two are just examples of sets that work really well for those two. Again I haven't been on normal servers in a long time. You should come test your teams on the balance server. I would be able to help you out a lot more then.

- Be aware of your particular Pokemon's characteristics. Is it naturally defensive? Best put Defence EV's into it to sponge Physical hits from Pokemon with a high Attack Stat.

- Please, if your Pokemon has a much higher Sp. Attack stat than Attack stat, do not pick Physical moves for that Pokemon.  A Pokemon with a high base Special Attack should be used for attacking with Special moves, not Physical moves.  Conversely, attempt to stick with Physical moves if you have a Pokemon with a high base Attack stat.

- Avoid using moves such as Hyper Beam, Blast Burn, Frenzy Plant, Hydro Cannon etc.  Yes, they have a high base power, but the wasted turn on a recharge is not worth the extra 30-50 base power or so from similar strong moves such as Fire Blast or Hydro Pump.

Well Beartic and Glaceon have it for a reason, nut I just don't know what to give Weavile and Vanilluxe.

Protip: Brightpowder and Lax Incense are banned.

[The-Blades-slave]

Are you saying their banned on the balance servers'?

[Roloc]

Yes he is. Luck based items are banned in PU.

Items like:

Quick claw
Bright powder
Lax Incense
