Zen Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 A team made specifically to abuse technicalities use Technician. Of course, a team of lawyers would do the same thing. --- Roserade (F) @ Focus Sash Trait: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Magical Leaf - Leech Seed - Spikes - Toxic Spikes --- Breloom (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Technician EVs: 80 Atk / 176 Def / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Mach Punch - Bullet Seed - Spore - Bulk Up --- Scizor (F) @ Lum Berry Trait: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Bullet Punch - Bug Bite - Aerial Ace - Swords Dance --- Ambipom (F) @ Life Orb Trait: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Fake Out - Double Hit - Aerial Ace - U-turn --- Mr. Mime (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Magical Leaf - Charge Beam - Icy Wind - Barrier --- Cinccino (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Tail Slap - Rock Blast - Bullet Seed - U-turn --- Of, course, it'll never win against anything rich in steel. But then again, no one wins all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraRPetO Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Try Wake-Up Slap on Cinccino, gets Technician boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanco Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Alright, time for me to chime in. Mr. Mime, with Charge Beam and Barrier, is a better user of Baton Pass than of Icy Wind, as Icy Wind has mediocre accuracy. You have a multitude of Pokemon that could reeeeeally benefit from those stat-ups. If you really want an Ice move, Ambipom learns Ice Punch. You're wasting your time trying to set up Spikes and Toxic Spikes, especially with Roserade. I say keep one and sack the other, replacing it with a coverage move like Hidden Power [Fire]. CInccino needs a move overhaul. Your moves are good, but you're gambling with each multi-strike hit you fire off, especially when you have better options. Here's my recommended set for Cinccino in this situation. Cinccino (M) @ (no item) / Life Orb Trait: Technician EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Covet / Return - Wake-Up Slap - Protect - Aqua Tail / Fling Looks ridiculous, but it works. Take a look at the first move. Yes, I did choose Covet. It has 60 power, meaning after STAB + Technician it goes to 135 base power and can ruin Pokemon by taking their item. Return, however, trades those commodities for more power. Wake-Up Slap is an extremely dangerous move on things that Breloom has put to sleep. Protect allows you to analyze what the foe is trying to do to you and perhaps throw something else in the way. Aqua Tail is there to fulfill the lack of Water moves, but Fling gets rid of items that are given to Cinccino if you choose Covet, not to mention that most items will have low enough base power that the Technician boost kicks in and it's super effective against Ghosts. Overall, team gets 7/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hmm, noted - just grabbed an old cinccino, saw that all its moves fit Technician, and so I used it with a different ability instead of Skill Link. Mr. Mime here is not intended to Pass. He's meant to jam Roar, for one - something rather common of late - and to slow down the opponents (breloom, etc. are handy, but they lag behind some others). Icy Wind... iffy, but it generally hits. Roserade's double spikes are intended to give it an edge against both steel and Sun teams. Sun generally has poison, so I'd just go for Spikes (steel has immunity, so likewise). On a normal team, I'd much prefer to go for TSpikes first as it puts a status on the opponent.
