Jelly Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Introductions: Firstly, I'd like to introduce myself before my team. I am Jelly. I have been battling since the middle of the DPPt era. And this is my first RMT! I decided after Kabutops dropped into NU that I would try my hand at building a team with it. This team has helped me peak at top 50 on the Pokemon Showdown ladder. (I know, big deal right?) And as of right now, I'm not using it much. I've "retired" it in a sense. IMO this is a very solid team and deserves a rate or two :]. The Squad: | | | | | In-Depth: Walcott Seismitoad (M) @ LeftoversAbility: Water AbsorbEVs: 216 HP / 200 Def / 92 SpeBold Nature- Scald- Earth Power- Stealth Rock - Toxic Seismitoad is a very solid 'mon in the NU meta. It sets up Stealth Rocks and spreads burns and Toxics. It stops most water types and has the potential to shut down physical attackers. It can take basically any physical hit that isn't a +2 Leaf Blade from SD Sceptile. It beats every spinner in the tier except Cryogonal. It's great typing, stats, and utility makes it one of, if not the best tanks in the tier. Walcott, All the way to New Jersey All the way to the Garden State, Out of Cape Cod tonight... ___________________________ One Vileplume (F) @ Black SludgeAbility: Effect SporeEVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpeBold Nature- Sludge Bomb- Giga Drain- Hidden Power [Fire]- Synthesis Vileplume is without a doubt, my favorite Pokemon in NU. This little plant dude will tank a bunch of physical hits and deal a surprising amount of damage. HP Fire is used instead of Aromatherapy here because Ferroseed can set up spikes and be a general nuisance against every member of my team. This thing switches into so much stuff and applies so much pressure to your opponent. I have loads of fun using this 'mon :]. Nastiness will cause your doomTurn and walk back to your room ___________________________ M79 Pawniard @ Eviolite Ability: DefiantEVs: 168 HP / 252 Atk / 88 SpeAdamant Nature- Knock Off- Sucker Punch- Iron Head- Swords Dance Pawniard is my main counter to Defog. I know many people say it's simply not that great unless you are running a hazard stacking team to pressure the opposing defog user, but that's just not the case. Pawn helps to keep up pressure against Sticky Web teams and has good matchups against Intimidate users like Granbull and Qwilfish. These speed EVs outspeed uninvested base 70s which is a pretty significant speed tier in NU. The HP EVs help it make Feraligatr, Swellow, Slurpuff, and Vileplume miss 2HKOs. Knock Off/Sucker Punch + Iron Head helps Pawniard achieve perfect neutral coverage which is extremely important on a pivot 'mon like Pawn. You walk up the stairs See the French kids by the door Up one more flight See the Buddha on the second floor ___________________________ Campus Dragalge (F) @ Choice Specs Ability: Poison PointEVs: 200 HP / 252 SpA / 56 SpeModest Nature- Sludge Bomb- Draco Meteor- Scald- Focus Blast Nothing can compare to a Specs Dragalge Draco raining down hell on an opposing Pokemon. This thing hits like a truck. No. 100 trucks hitting something in unison. It utterly destroys teams and is a tanky motherfucker as well. With a solid defensive base of 65 / 90 / 123, it takes both physical and special attacks with ease. The speed EVs make Dragalge outspeed uninvested base 50s like Vileplume. Draco Meteor basically OHKOs anything less bulky than Gurdurr. Sludge Bomb is for those cheeky fuckos thinking they can just switch in a Slurpuff or Granbull to laugh at you. Scald is basically just for coverage and for the extra utility in the burn chance. Focus Blast is for Steelixes, Probopasses, and Pawniards who try to come in to resist both of Dragalge's main STABs. Then I see you You're walking cross the campus Cruel professor Studying romances How am I supposed to pretend I never want to see you again? ___________________________ Oxford Comma Liepard (M) @ Black Glasses Ability: PranksterEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Thunder Wave- Knock Off- U-Turn- Encore You know who gives a fuck about commas? Not this Swagcat. Black Glasses is preferred over Dread Plate for maximum FuckYouness. Encore fucks up set-up 'mons and forces switches for some top-tier annoyance levels. Knock Off helps cripple the walls that like to come in on this Swagcat. Fuck you walls. T-wave messes with the enemy team and lets the poor fucker know you aren't messing around when it comes to utility moves. U-Turn helps you keep up offensive momentum and get some hella chip damage while you're at it. Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma? I've seen those English dramas too They're cruel... ___________________________ A-Punk Kabutops (M) @ Lum Berry Ability: Swift SwimEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- Rapid Spin- Waterfall- Aqua Jet- Stone Edge What's that sound? You having no hazards? Poor thing. Kabutops is by far the best spinner in NU. It creates free turns so it can spin and can come in on about 80% of the tier. Lum Berry is it's item because you DO NOT want this thing getting burned. It's EVs maximize it's offensive potential. The moves are all pretty standard aside from the lack of Sword's Dance. I feel as though the loss of priority if I were to use SD instead of Aqua Jet would lose me more games than win them as this thing is hella slow outside of rain. The best thing about Kabutops is that it can freely switch in on a Typhlosion Eruption and only take around 30%. This thing checks fire spam so well. I consider it a gift from the gods above in RU. Johanna drove slowly into the city The Hudson River all filled with snow She spied the ring on His Honor's finger Oh-oh-oh ___________________________ Threat List: - Poopyheads who run this make me cry. It can freely switch into most of my team lmao. - Pawniard also fucks with this team. Although Dragalge and Vileplume can handle it decently, it can still put some major owies on most of my team's members. - This thing is too fast and has EdgeQuake coverage which can really fuck my team if it gets out of hand. - Freeze-Dry is also a big issue on this team most of the time lmao. Outroductions: Well guys, that's the team. It's not the best team I've ever made, but it's the one I've had the most fun with. As I said before, I'm "retiring" this team. So I'm perfectly fine with others using it. One thing I ask if you do decide to use this team is to give credit where credit is due and not claim this as your own. Also feel free to change these names as I know Vampire Weekend isn't everyone's cup of tea :]. Shoutouts: Kamina - What a good guy :] Slant - v good battler and friend imo lil baby face rupe - my homie from crib to coffin shitlord emvee - what a bad player,,, m0-7ny - hope you dont lose no more bro :'[ winter - p chill dude. helps me with teams n shit :] dank memesire - what a dank user. hella memes. hella cool dude Vexington - best accent reborn???

Guest Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 wat is dis a 6G NU RMT idk much about 6G NU honestly, but... It looks like a nice, solid and powerful team. I personally would try AV Draglage but, I hate being locked into moves in the lower tiers, that's just me Keep up the decent work friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slant Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Very cool Jelly! This just makes me want to get into NU so I can use all sorts of weird pokemon. Also adaptability isn't allowed on Dragalge right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Also adaptability isn't allowed on Dragalge right? Sadly, it's not released yet. :[ If it did get it, however, Dragalge would be at least UU imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Emvee Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Wow JellyMan this is a really amazing team!!! ^v^ I have to give you 11/10 since the team is completely flawless!!! Watch out for Spikes and also Cryogonal is a threat since it runs Freeze Dry and HP Ground, but on a more serious note you're one of the strongest NU players ever please you have to teach me how to use Feraligatr!!! :DDDD <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vex Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Pretty solid team, only thing I'd point out is that you don't really have anything to take a hard hitting special attack.. You've already noted it but Freeze Dry runs train on your team once Pawniard is dead. Otherwise, good job!
