Drowning


Zen

Recommended Posts

Well, drowning isn't the fastest of deaths... and somehow I decided to make a water monotype for stalling.

At least, it's reasonably handy for stalling, and yet isn't a pure stall team. So I decided to flip through MS' textbook of eye diseases and name the team after eye diseases XD

For singles in OU.

Hazards via cloyster, and dual Spinners in case of opposing hazards. Jellicent's the usual staller, as is tentacruel, to an extent.

Sharpedo and seismitoad are the sweepers, but as always, ferrothorn/skarmory are a pain. However, I usually rely on jellicent or politoed to handle those two.

Not top-notch competitive, but it's something different from the usual rain teams.

Why surf instead of scald on Politoed? This is the first time I've seen Cloyster as a hazard setter. I think you should mix Cloyster into a sweeper+Harzardsetter. Example, Spike, Tspikes, Shell Smash and some deadly move. Just saying. Nice team though.

Oh, that's just a random thing. Scald's just as usable.

Hmm, Blake's old cloyster was a hazardous one :) And mixed cloysters for hazards don't really work since the hazard cloysters need defense. Giving the cloyster that amount of defense lowers its base speed, which makes even Shell Smash kind of sub-average :P
