Zen Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) What is the meaning of this nonsense? ... Well, doubles has always been a fun place to wreak havoc with unconventional strategies --- Murkrow (M) @ Eviolite Trait: Prankster EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Snarl - Tailwind - FeatherDance - Roost --- Tyranitar (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Sand Stream EVs: 140 Atk / 16 Def / 96 SDef / 255 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Rock Slide - Fire Punch - ThunderPunch - Dragon Dance --- Soldier (Sableye) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Prankster EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Night Shade - Taunt - Will-O-Wisp - Recover --- Spiritomb (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Dark Pulse - Icy Wind - Sleep Talk - Rest --- Scrafty (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Shed Skin EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Drain Punch - Crunch - Ice Punch - Dragon Dance --- Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Overcoat EVs: 156 Atk / 136 Def / 216 SDef Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Brave Bird - Toxic - Snarl - Tailwind --- A little low on the damage output, but it makes up for that by sheer stalling and/or stat sabotage. Between murkrow/sableye/mandibuzz, the opposition's Atk/SAtk get reduced so much it isn't even funny. Sableye outright halves their Atk with burns (assuming WoW hits), mandibuzz drops SAtk, and murkrow can run a mixture of both. Tailwind accelerates the team to a respectable speed, to a point that even spiritomb's Icy Wind becomes a considerable menace - a +1 for either tyranitar or scrafty becomes a threat then, with a Tailwind to back it. Against teams heavy in priority moves like steel-loaded ones, though, I might face some problems. However, the reduction in offence may help, at least till tyranitar/scrafty/sableye put enough dents in the enemy.

Aero Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 This is pretty interesting, but I think you should put EVs in to Heath on Sableye. 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SpD might be preferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, sableye needs the SDef EV's due to doubles being quite saturated with Surf/etc., and Def is due to all the scizor out there (horrible things usually can hit him before WoW activates).
