True, though their weight is heavier, which actually makes a case of using Vikavolt Totem in Gen 7 NU with a Sub(Roost?) set that makes Steelix have a hard time against it.

Don't know if you're the person to ask, but didn't someone ask a question about Totem Pokemon being viable in competitive Pokemon, or was that never a question on here?

Knowing my brother, I think that's for the better...

Wait is this an actual genuine team? Who the heck is gonna rate this? Manectric- wait what's he doing right now IS THAT GEN 5?!?!?!

Fair enough I guess. Maybe if I have the motivation to learn about writing moveset analysis for Smogon someday, who knows.
Apr 10 by -RisingManectric-
LOL! What makes you say that?

Ok. Fair enough with the RMT thing lol. It hasn't been active lately, as with you can clearly see the Brambleghasts just tumbling through the section. Also, I have this dumb idea core for a dumb Misty Terrain team for Gen 9 NU:

Also noticed you made a Gen 5 NU RMT. You reminded me of the time when Eelektross was S rank in Gen 9 NU and some people even considered it banworthy because of its Coil set. I haven't played Gen 5 NU before, but an Old Gen NU I really want to try to get into is Gen 7 NU.

So, in this case, I would edit out the Gen 6 and 7 part?

What do we do with movesets that have Gems like Flying Gem sets if the OP mentioned the set can be used past Gen 5? Example: https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/13396/what-is-a-good-moveset-for-mienshao?show=342470#a342470
