5th Gen RMT

Recommended Posts

This thread is for us sharing our teams we use on Pokemon online. A description of what each Pokemon is used for is preferred but not necessary. Also, please post your teams for us to try out by copy/pasting the Export button in the TeamBuilder. Then, just import it in and try out someone else's strategy for fun! :lol:

Feedback, of course, is welcome on any team and suggestions are always welcome as well.

Here's my team right now for an example:

Nova (Deoxys-S) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- ExtremeSpeed
- Taunt

Bruce (Hitmonlee) (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Reversal
- Stone Edge
- Meditate

Herm (Iwaparesu) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Broken Armor
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Shell Smash
- Stone Edge
- X-Scissor
- Earthquake

Kiba (Warubiaru) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Earthquake Spiral
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit

Shinku (Gyarados) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Earthquake Spiral
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

Helheim (Shandera) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Shadow Tag
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nitro Charge
- Fire Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball


And now for the description:

[b]Deoxys-S[/b] [img]http://www.arkeis.com/images/animations/386_s.gif[/img]

The lead. You're fast, fast, and more fast, stopping sweepers from setting up and stopping entry hazards from being laid. Luckily, Deoxys hasn't been banned yet, so he's fine in normal play...for now.

[b]Hitmonlee[/b] [img]http://www.arkeis.com/images/animations/106.gif[/img]

Reversal sweeper. Hitmonlee has a clear cut advantage over other reversal users: Unburden. Doubling speed lets you hit a whopping 546 after Unburden, which outspeeds just about everything, and a lot with a scarf. Meditate is replaceable with another attack, but I like being able to set up further if my sub isn't broken.

[b]Iwaparesu[/b] [img]http://www.arkeis.com/images/animations/558.gif[/img]

Shell Break/Smash. An amazing move, especially when paired with Breakable Armor. What Breakable Armor does is lowers your Defense one stage after a contact attack. In return, it picks up +1 Speed after said contact. Amazing, seeing as you can get +3 Speed and +2 Attack in one turn with Shell Break. Also, this thing takes physical hits well, so provided you're slower, setting up shouldn't be a problem.

[b]Warubiaru[/b] [img]http://www.arkeis.com/images/animations/553.gif[/img]

The revenge killer. He's got a scarf so he outspeeds a LOT. With Overconfidence, Warubiaru can easily come in and take out whatever was bothering my team and snowball until his attack is destroying everything. Also, he looks completely kickass.

[b]Gyarados[/b] [img]http://pkmn.net/sprites/hgss/male/130.png[/img] (No Animated yet on Arkeis :()

Gyarados needs no explanation. Especially now with Overconfidence, Gyarados is more of a threat than ever. He's just monstrous if you let him set up...and he's bulky enough to set up, provided there's no Electric moves. Gyarados is probably one of the best DDance users as of now, rivaling Salamence and Ononokusu.

[b]Shandera[/b] [img]http://www.arkeis.com/images/animations/609.gif[/img]

Shadow Tag is a frightening ability, especially with a Pokemon that has 2 immunities and several resistances. Let Shandera Nitro Charge and he's outspeeding a lot, while still "fire"ing off powerful special attacks.

As I said, feedback is more than welcome and I encourage you to post your own teams! ^_^

dat Hitmonlee...


EDIT: Might as well add to this. I got bored one day and turned my endgame team in my Black ROM to a team on PO, right down to the names I used. Comments in purple.

Kitty (Reparudasu) (F) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Mischievous Heart
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Taunt
- Fake Out
- Night Slash
- Thunder Wave

[color="purple"]Lead with Mischievous Heart, need I explain? Everything but Night Slash will have +1 priority, and besides, Thunder Wave fixes that.[/color]

[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/561.gif[/img]
Psych (Shinboraa) (F) @ Wide Lens
Trait: Tinted Lens
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hypnosis
- Charge Beam
- Ice Beam
- Psychic

[color="purple"]Lots of lenses on this guy... Hypnosis whatever it wants, then either Charge Beam up or throw STAB unresisted Psychics around; Ice Beam when necessary.[/color]

[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/497.gif[/img]
Silva (Jarooda) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Leech Seed
- Substitute

[color="purple"]I told myself, if I was to use Jaroda I would do it differently. So I decided to use it the way everyone was going to BEFORE Perversity was made known: as a dual screener.[/color]

[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/516.gif[/img]
Tide (Hiyakkii) (F) @ Salac Berry
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Acrobat
- Aqua Tail
- Substitute
- Claw Sharpen

[color="purple"]Meet the SubPetaya Empoleon of this generation, only... not. Close enough though. Claw Sharpen on an attack you know you'll survive, or while safely behind a sub, and --due to Claw Sharpen's +Accuracy-- +1 Torrent STAB'd Aqua Tail rages through the opponent's team; base 130 power Acrobat when necessary~[/color]

[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/638.gif[/img]
Heart (Kobaruon) @ Leftovers
Trait: Justice Heart
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Holy Sword
- Stone Edge
- Iron Head

[color="purple"]Pretty basic, I only really had this guy cause I needed something to deal with the Dragon Gym in Black.[/color]

[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/637.gif[/img][color="#1A1A1A"][size=1](needs moar animation...)[/size][/color]
Atlas (Urugamosu) (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SAtk / 72 SDef / 184 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Butterfly Dance
- Flame Dance
- Morning Sun
- Bug Buzz

[color="purple"]Again, rather basic, except I threw in Morning Sun as a twist, with its boosted Speed, to keep it around longer.[/color]

Pretty pictures will come later

Victini
Mild 252SpAtk/252Speed/4HP
Choice Scarf

Fire Blast
Thunder
U-Turn
Psycho Shock

Pretty much my scout, has good coverage and speed thanks to scarf. Fire Blast over Kaendan for that bit of extra power.

[img]http://floatzel.net/pokemon/black-white/sprites/images/497.png[/img]
Jarooda
Timid 252SpAtk/252Speed/4HP
Leftovers

Lead Storm
Leech Seed
Hidden Power Fire
Substitute

Simple solution to bulky Pokemon, and may sweep on its own. Set up a sub to scout, then let loose with Leaf Storm, or set up a Leech Seed. Substalling can be quite effective if needed, and it can take a hit as well.

[img]http://floatzel.net/pokemon/black-white/sprites/images/612.png[/img]
Ononokusu
Jolly 252Atk/252Speed/4HP
Choice Scarf

Outrage
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Rock Slide

My main revenge killer, slightly faster than Victini due to Jolly. Hits like a truck, and can OHKO threats such as Gyarados with Outrage. Dragon Claw can be used early game if I don't want to get myself stuck.

[img]http://floatzel.net/pokemon/black-white/sprites/images/635.png[/img]
Sazandora
Modest 252SpAtk/252Speed/4HP
Choice Specs

Draco Meteor
Flamethrower
Focus Blast
Dark Pulse

Pure, total annihilation. Few pokemon can take a couple of hits from this thing, and Draco Meteor's explosivve power warrants use over Dragon Pulse, while Flamethrower over Fire Blast because I got tired of missing.

[img]http://floatzel.net/pokemon/black-white/sprites/images/620.png[/img]
Kojondo
Adamant 252Atk/252Speed/4HP
Focus Sash

Fake Out
High Jump Kick
Stone Edge
U-Turn

It's what little priority I have, and I'm going to abuse it. high Jump Kick is also quite nasty due to Reckless, although occasional misses can screw me over.

[img]http://floatzel.net/pokemon/black-white/sprites/images/615.png[/img]
Furiijio
Calm 220HP/252SpDef/36Def
Leftovers

Ice Breath
Reflect
Recover
Toxic
Thanks to Ikaru for recommending this. It's Special Defense is enourmous, voer 400, and Reflect can bolster its Defense. Been working great.

[quote]if anyone can suggest a good defenseive pivot(I dunno, nattorei?) to replace him, that'd be great.[/quote]

Disclaimer: I do not work with Smogon, don't say this sucks cause honestly I just put EVs that gave me nice numbers xD

Well it's not exactly the best but, in the times I've used Furiijio, its 344 HP and 405 Sp.Def have never been a letdown. The particular one I used was this:

[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/615.gif[/img]
Furiijio @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Recover
- Ice Breath
- Toxic
- Light Screen

Ice Breath isn't necessarily the best form of offense, but given that it always crits, it's okay to use when you can't do anything else. 105 base speed with no EVs reaches 246 which, isn't bad I guess? Toxicstalling with Recover was my best way of doing damage; just watch out for those physical attacks, 97 defense is nothing to be proud of ._.

To give you an idea of the epic special wall that this thing is (while it's no Blissey), it took a choiced Heatran's Fire Blast while Sunny <3 (Sure I couldn't do anything back but meh)

I dunno, this is really the only form of wall I've used yet, unless you count the physical wall Kobaruon I paired it with, but, ehh..

[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/638.gif[/img]
Kobaruon @ Leftovers
Trait: Justice Heart
EVs: 140 HP / 252 Def / 116 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Reflect
- Thunder Wave
- Roar
- Holy Sword

I don't really think I have to explain much here. 358 HP, 392 Def, and 281 speed. Works best if you have Stealth Rock or Spikes or something, but, also works to spread Thunder Wave around if you should choose to be so evil.



EDIT: Maybe an RMT sub-forum so we can all have a seperate thread?

Here's a description:

[b]Golem[/b] [img]http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad19/ShawnYasumara/076.gif[/img]

I use Pokemon that not everyone expects,as you can see by a few Pokemon on my team already.Golem works as a great lead,setting Stealth Rock up and usually taking something down with it.With Sturdy working like a Focus Sash,another item can be used.Lum Berry clears status while Golem is out,which has proven to be quite useful.The first three moves are rather self explanatory.Fire Punch hits the likes of Nattorei and Forretress.Sucker Punch may be used in its place to hit fast,frail Pokemon.

[b]Machamp[/b] [img]http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad19/ShawnYasumara/Spr_4h_068.png[/img]

Machamp is the first in a group pf three Pokemon called the Triad.The three Pokemon in the triad can hit 16 types for super-effective damage,the only exception being Fighting.Machamp is my bulky physical attacker,and does a fine job of it.


[b]Gengar[/b] [img]http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad19/ShawnYasumara/094.gif[/img]

Gengar is the second member of the Triad,and works as a speedy special sweeper.Shadow Ball gives STAB,of course,and the other moves give great coverage.HP Dragon may seem like an odd choice,and it is,considering it is there with Kingdra in mind.However,it can KO weakened Dragon-types,which is always nice.

[b]Nidoking[/b] [img]http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad19/ShawnYasumara/034.gif[/img]

The King rounds out the Triad,and works as a second special sweeper.Encourage boosts every move given,as well as canceling out Life Orb's recoil.Earth Power gives STAB,while the remaining moves give excellent coverage.

[b]Jalorda[/b] [img]http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad19/ShawnYasumara/497-1.gif[/img]

My late game sweeper.Choice Specs already gives it a +1 boost,so it can KO what it otherwise cannot.The rest of the moves are filler,really.Hyper Beam is there specifically for when I'm feeling cruel,and want to finish off a Pokemon with an otherwise unused attack.

[b]Murkrow[/b] [img]http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad19/ShawnYasumara/198.gif[/img]

Ah,Murkrow.My fun little staller.Murkrow has the ability to stall out anything that doesn't carry a super effective move,and even some that do.The only move that would really need any explanation is Feather Dance,which renders physical attackers useless.the only things that can stand up to this thing are Steel and Poison-types,who have their own problems with the rest of the team.

Errr, don't use HP Dragon
Ever
It's barely stronger than a neutral Shadow Ball when Super Effective
Use HP Ice, use HP Ice, use whatever
But HP Dragon, use it never
Jarooda doesn't need Specs with Leaf Storm and Perversity, so I advise you forsake them
Also, Wring Out and Hyper Beam are terrible moves, ditch them to put SubSeeding, Dual screens, etc.

Rest of the team looks fairly decent

Alright, let's bring this back to life. I find myself coming back to this team constantly, and (despite the lead relies completely on hax) it results in moderate success, usually.
So let's make it better!


[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/510.gif[/img]
Leo Minor (Liepard) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Taunt
- Swagger
- Substitute
- Foul Play

Hax everything. Enough said.
Swagger results in +2 attack; Thanks to Prankster, it's nearly guaranteed that I'll go first and confuse the opponent. If they attack themselves, great! Sub next turn and hope they do it again. Alternatively, Foul Play is boosted because of their raised attack; If they attacked themselves, it's likely that I can KO them with Foul Play, if it's not resisted. (And even then, I've actually taken down Tyranitar and the like with this thing... Lots of hax.) Anyone who's already faced this knows it can be deadly.



[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/Kyurem.gif[/img]
Void (Kyurem) @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: [b]4 HP[/b] / 252 SAtk / [b]252 Spd[/b]
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- [b]Earth Power[/b]
- Draco Meteor
- Ice Beam
- [b]Roost[/b]

The idea here is simple: Glaciate the counter they're about to send in, lowering its speed, then hammer it with Draco Meteor or Ice Beam. Focus Blast is for steel coverage. Considering Glaciate, a Pokemon would need 438 speed (289/0.66 = 437.878787878787etc ) to still outspeed Kyurem. Scarf and Deoxys-S. That's it. (Oh and Speed Boosting Pokemon, but whatever)

[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/Starmie.gif[/img]
Luminous (Starmie) @ Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Psychic

Standard. I only wonder if I should switch to Hydro Pump and some form of Hidden Power, but, I'm thinking that's overkill.


[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/Chandelure.gif[/img]
Insidias (Chandelure) (F) @ Air Balloon
Trait: [b]Shadow Tag[/b]
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Flame Charge
- Flamethrower
- [b]Hidden Power [Ice][/b]
- Shadow Ball

Shadow Tag > Choice users. Flame Charge. Infinite speed. Still works well with Scizor, of course. Keeping the Air Balloon to add another potential immunity to set up on.

[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/Scizor.gif[/img]
Titania (Scizor) (F) @ [b]Choice Band[/b]
Trait: Technician
EVs: [b]232 HP[/b] / 252 Atk / [b]24 Spd[/b]
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- [b]U-Turn[/b]
- [b]Pursuit[/b]

Standard, I'm sure. Stole this from Bullet cuz wynaut.

[img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/Breloom.gif[/img]

Bellum (Breloom) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
[b]Jolly[/b] Nature ([b]+Spe[/b], -SAtk)
- Spore
- [b]Swords Dance[/b]
- Bullet Seed
- Mach Punch

Scizor in Grass/Fighting form. Excadrill counter, to say the least. Barring Aerial Ace, the least it can do is hit me neutrally with X-Scissor or Return.
...Assuming it has the chance to do so, considering Mach Punch.







Overall, my biggest concern is the numerous Life Orbs. I attempted to resolve this on a different version of the team by replacing Kyurem with WishMence... (set below)

Hydra (Salamence) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 24 Def / 216 SDef / 16 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Toxic
- Wish
- Protect
- Flamethrower

...but I don't like the idea of having a wall (of sorts?) 4x weak to anything. That, and Salamence doesn't exactly have the greatest defensive stats. I'd prefer to use Kyurem anyway, but, leaving this here for anyone to consider which might actually be more effective.

That said, gogo rate. (Changes made are in bold)

Aight, reviewing/rating/whatevering Ikaru's team. Anyways, right away I spot Scizor's EVs. Please don't try running max speed Scizor. Ever, on any set. Seriously, it's pretty pointless. A couple of speed EVs are enough, the rest should be going into HP. Well, that's assuming Life Orb Scizor set. To be honest, it's not particulary effective. You might want to try the Special Defensive Scizor set. I don't have EVs on hand, but experience says it works amazingly. Though to be honest, the looks of your team suggests a Choice Banded Scizor would work better. The Scizor/Chandelure psuedo-core is much better if you have U-Turn to keep up the momentum. Next, Chandelure isn't particulary effective anyways. Yeah, so you have Sciozr lure in a fire attack, then switch to Chandelure and... Well, common fire types? Blaziken will just use the Speed boost it picked up on your switch-in turn and demolish you with Stone Edge or Shadow Claw(assuming your opponent is not a Protect-happy fool). Volcarona simply uses you as set up bait unless you've either severely dented it earlier(yeah, lack of Stealth Rock isn't helping your cause) or you get multiple Sp Def drops. I don't recommend trying it. Darmanitan, I sure hope Darmanitan users aren't silly enough to blindly use Flare Blitz on a healthy Scizor in the early game, instead, they tend to U-Turn. Of course, not all Darmanitan users are good players... Either way, Calm Mind is a bad idea. And if you'll allow me to say, I would daresay Shadow Tag Chandelure, not neccessarily scarfed, would be better for your team. Then there's the fact that I can see you getting swept by a Bulky Dragon Dancer(read as Dragonite, potentially Gyarados) too easily. Any Dragonite with ESpeed can cruise right through your Kitty, besides that you have... uhhhh.... Bullet Punch? Hope you got some good damage in already. Yeah, you don't really have a great chance against most late game sweepers. You can Mach Punch Dory and... get swept by everything else if you don't happen to have a counter alive? The main problem is that your team style is hyper offense with no true walls, except it can hardly be called hyper offense because it's simply not aggresive enough. A good stall team can simply sit around letting you switch back and forth accumulating entry hazards damage. Your best real stallbreaker is breloom(see why Shadow Tag Chandelure is good?) but Breloom isn't particulary devastating to a well constructed team, and lack of Swords Dance easily prevents you from getting anything going. Yeah, Stone Edge isn't really useful for anything other than miracle predictions. Not to mention we all know about accuracy issues. Then, there's Kyurem. Why aren't you running max speed? Any built to be fast Pokemon should be running max speed, because the "outspeed specific Pokemon" notion is plain silly. If you're not going 252, you can outspeed this Pokemon and then get outsped by another Kyurem? If you need to tinker with HP for Stealth Rock, then simply lowering the HP IV is much better, so as to not sacrifice precious speed EVs. Course, using Mence avoids the issue entirely, but I'm not particulary convinced about the effectiveness of a bulky Salamence, and using only Flamethrower is a true attacking move, a good player can catch on quickly and simply send in guys that ordinarily are OHKOed by Mence to just roll right over you.

Peace out.

Boooooooooooooooored
So this is a "retired" team of mine, cuz well, I really don't feel like telling everyone 3000 words or so about the one of the two stall teams that I'm currently using, and I'm sure no one wants to go through a sand RMT.

Sukauto (Swampert) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 236 HP / 80 Def / 192 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Yawn
- Stealth Rock
- Waterfall

Ok, I admit I concocted this team in the young days of Gen 5, before I was completely convinced Swampert is a bad idea. To be honest, it's not [i]that[/i] obsolete on this team. Yawn is quite the ingenious moev for Swampert, forcing switches and scouting out their team(lol at my Swampert name) is quite valuable. Then there's the fact that you have Stealth Rock... Do the EVs look weird? Well they are. Engineered to always survive Scarfed Chandelure's Energy Ball from full health; this team is more meant for a Chandelure-free metagame... except the slight problem that it uses a Chandelure itself.Eh, smart play is really the only way to circumvent Chandelure decimating you. But it's not particulary hard.

[img]http://floatzel.net/pokemon/black-white/sprites/images/back/shiny/609.png[/img]
Sogeki-hei (Chandelure) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Shadow Tag
EVs: 4 Def/ 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Overheat
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]

I said this team had a Chandelure, here it is. It's nothing to write home about, just standard. Overheat+Modest brings up quite a bit of power, HP Ice is still the best "filler" move for Scarfed Chandelure in my opinion, though with the Gliscor infestation, it can hardly be called filler anymore.

[img]http://floatzel.net/pokemon/black-white/sprites/images/back/shiny/649.png[/img]
lolDennis (Genesect) @ Leftovers
Trait: Download
EVs: 20 HP / 236 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Bug Buzz
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt/Flamethrower
- Substitute

Originally a Skymin, but we all figured out how fair that was in OU. Anyways, Scarf is undoubtedly the most popular Genesect set by far, making this a nice surprise. I personally found that Thunderbolt is the best option for the slashed option, as this team has little trouble with Ferrothorn. But if you want, you can try it out.

[img]http://floatzel.net/pokemon/black-white/sprites/images/back/shiny/534.png[/img]
Chikusho (Conkeldurr) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Guts
EVs: 196 HP / 60 Atk / 252 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Payback
- Mach Punch

I don't know how other people build their Conkeldurrs, but this is my "bread and butter" Conkeldurr. To be honest, it's not particulary well matched up against enemy Conkeldurrs, but that's OK. Conkeldurr just loves bulky waters, who can potentially burn him with Scald and give him a delicious boost. Coincidentally, the team isn't particulary fond of bulky waters.

Ansatu-sha (Jirachi) @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 108 HP / 148 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fire Punch
- Zen Headbutt
- Thunder Wave
- Iron Head

Is it a Haxrachi? Certainyl. Maximum speed is great for foes you cannot Thunder Wave, and for a last ditch Thunder Wave before you die. Zen Headbutt is a great complement to Iron Head for Jirachi, though I admit the poor accuracy is annoying. Finally, Fire Punch is pretty much mandatory on physical Jirachis, as Ferrothorn is too much of a pain to ignore.

Karitori-ki (Scizor) (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 232 HP / 252 Atk / 24 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit

Classic Choice Band Scizor, problem? 24 speed evs is what I find a good number, as most Scizors I see run 8-16 Speed EVs, giving me an edge. Of course, now that I've said that, i need to pick a higher number for my CB Scizors in the future. It's a standard moveset, though I must stress the importance of Pursuit. For all of the times Chandelure comes in and uses a non-fire move to kill a Pokemon, I can punish it and get it out of my hair with Pursuit. Choiced Latios are another good target for Pursuit, given your Steel typing. Beware of Hidden Power Fire however.

Well, that's it. I'll maybe have a threat list when I have moar time.

lol everyone's like WTF Bullet xD

I'm actually glad you said so much, cause it gives me a lot to work with, and at the same time you didn't tell me "x sucks, use y", instead you told me what to do with what I had so thanks ... I made some changes already, edited into the last post.

As for yours, the first thing I noticed is a massive fire weakness... 2 4x weaknesses and a normal weakness... You deal with that how? I trust your Swampert lead isn't the only way.

*shrug*

Fire is a pretty big pain, but I doubt anything short of monofire is really going to just tear through me; Stealth Rock is a huge part in the anti-fire campaign, as is pert sa you said. Conkeldurr is also quite a help, as Mach Punch can tear down frail fire types(generally the ones that have a chance to sweep me) and Special Defense can help it take a hit. I do notice a rather iffy Volcarona weakness when I remove the Pert though :/
At least I won't really be using this team much >> <<

Well, I was actually waiting for a thread like this. Thanks N8!

Porygon-Z @ Choice scarf
Trait: Adaptibility
EVs: 4 Defence / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd -Atk )
- Tri Attack
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Mimic

Your Standard Porygon-Z sweeper in the Lead, Honestly, I don't really think Porygon-Z is useful in this team, I just wanted a Fast and Powerful sweep too start the battle off, and so, Porygon-Z came to mind. Mimic is just a filler. If you can recommend any replacements for a new lead, that would be appreciated.


Blaziken @ Air Balloon
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spd
Adamant Nature ( +Atk, -Sp.Atk)
- Hone Claws
- Hi Jump Kick
- Blaze Kick
- Stone Edge

Everyones favorite Chicken Man! I start the battle off with Hone claws then spam Blaze kick and Hi-Jump Kick, Blaziken is EXTREMELY useful in this team. I was originally using a Typhlosion in this spot but decided he didn't really cut it. ( Sorry Typhlosion! D: )

Garchomp @ Choice Band
Trait: Rough Skin
EVs: 4 HP , 252 Atk, 252 Speed
Adamant Nature ( +Atk, -Sp.Atk)
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Rockslide
- Fire Fang

Garchomp. What else is needed to say? He is just my revenge killer, and for when I need to kill other pesky Pokemon. Weavile was originally in this slot, but his frailness got on my nerves. XD

Serperior @ Wise Glasses
Trait: Contrary
EVs: 252 Sp.Atk, 4 Sp. Def, 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd -Atk )

- Leaf Storm
- Taunt
- Giga Drain
- HP Ice

What happens when you have an epic Snake with the Contrary Ability AND Leafstorm? Hax. Nuff said. Leaf Storm is used too abuse Contrary aswell as a nice STAB move, Taunt is for well. Obvious stuff. Giga Drain for when Serperior is low on Health and HP Ice for Coverage. XD



Lucario @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+ Sp.Atk, - Atk )

- Nasty Plot
- Aura Sphere
- Vacuum Wave

The Star of my team. Standard Standard Standard. Nasty plot, then sweep with Aura Sphere

Rotom-W @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 168, Def, 88 Sp. Def
Bold Nature (+ Def, - Atk )

- Hydro Pump
- Thunderbolt
-Pain Split
- Will-O-Wisp

My Bulky water, the closest I could get too a wall. Hydro pump for STAB, Thunderbolt STAB, Pain split for healing, and Will-O-Wisp for burning.


Welp, that is my team, Blaziken, Serperior and Rotom are all part of the F/G/W ( Fire, Grass, Water ) Synergy, so if you are gonna replace them, please find a replace of the same type as them. Please note that this is actually one of the first team I've ever built, so please don't beat TOO harsh. XD

[color="#00BFFF"]Mimic is a terrible move. I advise you replace is with Trick.[/color]

[color="#00BFFF"]Exactly like my Blaziken lol. Looks fine.[/color]

[color="#00BFFF"]If you're using Choice Band, you do not, abosolutely do not want to use Adamant. Getting outpsed by Landorus, base Speed 100s, etc. is not something Chomp wants. Stick with a Jolly nature.[/color]

Serperior @ Wise Glasses

[color="#00BFFF"]Wise Glasses is simply a bad item. If you want power, use Life Orb, oherwise use Leftovers.[/color]

Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+ Sp.Atk, - Atk )

- Nasty Plot
- Aura Sphere

The Star of my team. Standard Standard Standard. Nasty plot, then sweep with Aura Sphere

[color="#00BFFF"]Since you're using Nasty Plot, Timid is generally a better nature.[/color]

Mkay, so quick explanations:
Heatran sets up rocks, but that's really all he's good for. He does tend to fit in pretty well with the entire team.
Rade gets up toxic spikes, and generally is my lead because of team preview + sleep powder.
Rotom-W is new, the main idea is to get something that can burn some of the common threats, and counter rain teams w/ STAB Thunderbolt.
Skarm has the same set it always has had. Best as a phaser.
Mienshao is another new addition, HP Electric is to counter Gyarados, which comes in a lot more commonly than one would think.
Latias is the main set up, the standard CM set. Very iffy on keeping Latias, 'cuz it gets set up on quite a lot.

Anyway, this mainly gets walled by Reuniclus, against which I have no counter. No clue what to do, because I get beat by stuff from every side of the spectrum.
