Zen Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 So, I decided that actually using an entire turn to set up Trick Room, Tailwind, or whatnot was getting old. And that was how this team came to be A triples team that gets speed boosts, but which can also dish out some decent damage. --- Zebstrika (M) @ Air Balloon Trait: Motor Drive EVs: 255 Atk / 112 Def / 140 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Wild Charge - Flame Charge - Quick Attack - Double Kick --- Rotom-W @ Choice Scarf Trait: Levitate EVs: 40 Def / 180 SAtk / 32 SDef / 255 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Discharge - Hydro Pump - Will-O-Wisp - Trick --- Electivire (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Motor Drive EVs: 112 Atk / 140 Def / 255 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - ThunderPunch - Earthquake - Ice Punch - Brick Break --- Galvantula (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Compoundeyes EVs: 255 SAtk / 255 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Thunder - Energy Ball - Hidden Power [Ice] - Sucker Punch --- Follicle (Lanturn) (F) @ Air Balloon Trait: Volt Absorb EVs: 255 Def / 255 SAtk Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Thunder/Discharge - Surf - Ice Beam - Rain Dance --- Manectric (F) @ Lum Berry Trait: Lightningrod EVs: 116 Def / 136 SAtk / 255 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Thunderbolt - Flamethrower - Quick Attack - Thunder Wave --- So, the basic concept involves spamming Discharge and Motor Drive to really accelerate the pain. Electivire can handle ground-types, and zebstrika can deal with ferrothorn. Paralysis due to Discharge may also be painful, but only galvantula's vulnerable to that. Otherwise, manectric's meant for cleanup work once all the Motor Drive burns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Edge Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'm surprised you don't take cross chop over brick break. PS: Vire cannot take a good EQ, I should know >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Eh, my luck with Cross Chop is horrible - I'd take the consistent hits over increased damage with the higher miss probability. Also, Brick Break's handy in doubles/triples to smash through screens. And my electivire has a Sash! So one Discharge would normally be enough to get him sped up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noivy Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Score! Manectric! <3 One of the things which I have done with it is give it Snarl. That ALWAYS lowers the foes Sp Att, and Manectric has the speed to beat a fair amount of Sp. attackers. (And give Reuniclus a headache.)

Conor Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 i made a team with the very same theme a few months ago, it wasa doubles team with thundorous, togekiss (use follow me on togekiss and set up thundorus) then lanturn, jolteon, and rotom W to set up my electivre while all using discharge except my thundorus and electivire. and it crushed ame's team so yeah its a good idea.

Zen Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 ... I highly doubt that dear old Dr. Connal would like to have a word with me XD He'd most likely call for the lorazepam before five minutes were up LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Cool team, I don't know about sprites but it would look legit if you put them in. I don't know why you put def EV's on Zebstrika, it still can't take a hit. I also question why you don't have a wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Amethyst Posted January 1, 2012 Administrators Share Posted January 1, 2012 Our general policy is that if there's something relevant to be added to the thread, it's fine. The Zen trio is still around, I'm sure they won't mind the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 In response to Phazer's question - zebstrika can indeed take a hit, since Motor Drive apparently gives it the speed boost immediately. Either that, or our PO is glitching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazer Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Zebstrika has good a good hp base now? Take a hydropump to the face and it's down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 [quote name='Phazer' timestamp='1325617218' post='22344'] Zebstrika has good a good hp base now? Take a hydropump to the face and it's down. [/quote] Well, the equations pretty much work out as follows during playtesting for doubles: Rotom-W + Scarf + Discharge = Super-effective damage to water enemies + (Zebstrika +1 Spd) --- (1) Zebstrika +1 Spd = Wild Charge before target can attack --- (2) (1) + (2) = Dead water type And given that in triples I have electivire on the other side of Rotom-W, that's a another blow in before they can attack, usually. Only excadrill ever rally poses a problem to the team, during playtesting. Should you have any doubts, we could always run a playtest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazer Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I'm srs btw. Scarf + Rotom-W + Max speAtk = Pain Train Oh yeah.. + Hydro Pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazer Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 GG, I didn't know it was triples. One thing though, Zeb still got 1HKO'd by Rotom. :L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
