Lord Emvee Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) The Immortal Hero ------------------------------------------------------- Intro Hello Reborn Community, I have recently returned yet again after taking a really long break from this place. I felt it was about time to get back my rank 1 as usual for two reasons: firstly because I haven't posted an XY Reborn team here yet, and because it just seemed way too easy, which in fact it was. I have decided to RMT the team that has gone undefeated on the ladder just for fun since it's about time I RMT'd something, plus I want to show you all what a hand looks like before it slaps the shit outta you in battle. I was very easily able to get #1, and put an end to Kamina's reign from when I was away. The team I will be showcasing is heavily offensive, and really just requires you to set up some hazards before using the rest of the team to kill stuff. Anyways let's begin. Proof Of Success Team Preview Roles of Teammates Hazards. Anti-Hazard Lead. Anti Spinner. Special Attacker. Anti Defogger (Defiant). Physical Attacker. Mixed Attacker 1. Mixed Attacker 2. Revenge Killer. Team In Depth Deoxys-D @ Red Card | Pressure Timid | 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe Stealth Rock | Spikes | Taunt | Magic Coat Deoxys-D is my choice to lead off with because it's better than Deoxys-S leads. I am able to get up Stealth Rocks and at least one layer of Spikes due to the fact that it's pretty bulky while having a decent speed to go with it. Taunt allows me to prevent opposing Pokemon from setting up on me while Magic Coat is there to reflect Hazard and Status moves as well as other faster Taunters. People think they can Spore me with their Smeargles, Taunt me with their Thunderus or their Deoxys-S, or even try to set up on me with a lead Dragonite sweeper but nope, they don't know about Deoxys-D. I have Red Card since it's fun just watching me set up Stealth Rocks, and then having someone attack me which forces them to switch out into something they don't want out. ------------------------------------------------------- Aegislash @ Spooky Plate | Stance Change Rash | 94 HP / 144 Atk / 252 SpA / 16 Spe King's Shield | Shadow Sneak | Shadow Ball | Flash Cannon Here's a new tool of the 6th gen meta-game. Aegislash is my favorite Pokemon for two reasons: the first of which is because it can switch into things easy since it has a shield form, the second is because it can hit quite hard with its sword form. Aegislash provides a lot of good synergy with the team as it resists Fighting and Ice moves that can trouble some of the other teammates. Shadow Ball hits Landorus-T really hard as well as most other Pokemon it does neutral damage to. Flash Cannon is great because it hits with powerful STAB that can do a lot of damage to fairy types, while preventing it from being walled by Chesnaught. Shadow Sneak of course is for priority, and the attack EV's and Ghost Plate help a lot. Sword Dance sets are most commonly seen at Reborn, so nobody will expect this set coming! ------------------------------------------------------- Thundurus @ Expert Belt | Defiant Jolly | 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Wild Charge | Fly | Knock Off | Superpower Bet you guys haven't seen a physical Thunderus before. When someone tries to use Defog to clear my hazards, I switch this thing in. Defiant doubles its attack when any of its stats are lowered. Wild Charge is powerful, especially when you get that attack boost. I have Fly there to troll people with, and it helps against Mega Venusaur threats. Knock Off is to hit Aegislash and other Pokemon to get rid of their items. You don't have to worry about King Shield because the defiant boost will power you up, and you'll be able to hit Pokemon really hard! Superpower is a powerful move that hits stuff like Heatran, Tyranitar, Excadrill, Blissey, etc. The Expert Belt does help to power up those Super Effective moves, and since Thunderus has pretty good coverage it will be handy. ------------------------------------------------------- Genesect @ Life Orb | Download Hasty | 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Bug Buzz | Iron Head | Flamethrower | Extremespeed Yeah it's a Genesect but nobody is ready for this set. Bug Buzz is extremely powerful with Life Orb it OHKO's stuff like Rotom-W after Stealth Rocks. It pretty much 1-2 hit KO's anything it does neutral damage to, bar Special Walls like Blissey. Mixed Genesect with Life Orb is amazing, since if you get an attack boost you can Iron Head spam stuff (useful for Fairy Types). Flamethrower is there for things like Aegislash and Ferrothorn. Extremespeed gives priority which is amazing if you get the Attack boost from Download. If you're gonna bring in a Talonflame, I'll just Extremespeed you and take you out with a crit or something since it goes before all other priority moves. But yeah this Genesect is really cool overall especially since I'm not using one of those generic sets that everyone uses like that boring Choice Scarf set. ------------------------------------------------------- Blaziken @ Blazikenite | Speed Boost Naive | 64 Atk / 252 SpA / 192 Spe High Jump Kick | Fire Blast | Hidden Power [ice] | Protect Blaziken is the immortal hero and featured Pokemon of the team. It is also my late game Mixed Sweeper. Basically once I get up hazards and expend through all of my other Pokemon, I bring out this guy to finish off the rest. If I send this thing out really early, it means I don't give two shits and I'm just gonna spam moves until you die, which you probably are. It's a very interesting Blaziken set. High Jump Kick of course is necessary. I've chosen to make this more Specially oriented with Fire Blast and Hidden Power Ice. HP Ice hits stuff like Dnite, Salamence, Gliscor, Landorus, Garchomp, etc, which is very useful and unexpected. Protect buys me an extra turn to increase my Speed by 1 Stage. My Blaziken set is pretty unique, and it's certainly a lot cooler and better than the sets those people use with Baton Pass. ------------------------------------------------------- Garchomp @ Choice Scarf | Rough Skin Jolly | 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Outrage | Dragon Claw | Earthquake | Stone Edge Garchomp is a very useful Pokemon overall, and is my Revenge Killer. I don't really even need to use him unless of course the opponent has a Blaziken (which can be OHKO'd with Earthquake even at +1 Speed), and Mega Charizard's. Also anything that sets up to +1 with Dragon Dance can be revenge killed pretty easily. Outrage and Dragon Claw are both there depending on how much power you need at a given situation, or whether or not you want to be locked into a move. Earthquake is essential of course as no Garchomp can go without it, and Stone Edge helps me beat Mega Charizard Y, Talonflame, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- Conclusion So once again, this concludes my first Reborn XY RMT. As a reminder, this team has currently achieved #1 on the Reborn ladder, and I'm glad to be able to show it off to everyone (and I'll update any higher peaks in the ladder score). If anyone is interested to use this team, the importable is down below in the spoiler box. Using this team is quite easy. Lead with either Deo-D, get up as many hazards as you can, anti-spin as hard as you can with Aegislash, anti-defog with Thunderus (and preserve Deo-D if you sense a Defogger), and then just send out Pokemon after Pokemon to kill your opponent's team. You don't have to switch much to be honest since each attacker can do well against most of the Pokemon out there. Thanks again for taking the time to visit my latest RMT!

Jory Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 That physical Thundurus is a real threat in today's meta. It counters very commonly used Pokemon, particularly Mega Venusaur and Speed Boost Blaziken (both Mega and non-Mega). It deals extremly heavy damage to common switch-ins to Thundurus, making it a surprise when your sea-snail gets OHKO'd by Fly. Here are some calculations I threw together to show just how powerful it can be after a Defiant boost: I used Aerial Ace as filler and changed its power to 90 because screw Smogon's damage calculator: +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 489-576 (68.4 - 80.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Blissey: 535-630 (74.9 - 88.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Blissey: 535-630 (74.9 - 88.2%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock +2 252 Atk Expert Belt Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 542-641 (148.9 - 176%) -- guaranteed OHKO +2 252 Atk Expert Belt Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Mega Venusaur: 446-526 (122.5 - 144.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO +2 252 Atk Expert Belt Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Blaziken: 866-1022 (287.7 - 339.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO +2 252 Atk Expert Belt Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Blaziken: 778-917 (258.4 - 304.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gastrodon: 246-291 (57.7 - 68.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gastrodon: 246-291 (57.7 - 68.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Jellicent: 361-426 (89.3 - 105.4%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Jellicent: 361-426 (89.3 - 105.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Skarmory: 78-92 (23.3 - 27.5%) -- 5.3% chance to 4HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Diglett: 739-870 (459 - 540.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO As you can see, Thundurus has the capability to rip through an unprepared enemy team. As for your weaknesses, you have none cuz pr0. Hail Heroic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slant Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 props on #1, you used some really ridiculous sets to get there (defiant thundurus, mixed blaziken). What do the evs do on Aegislash and Blaziken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamina Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 O: nicely made rmt as usual I think ev spread is to 1 hit ko gengar with shadow sneak after hazards 144 Atk Spooky Plate Aegislash-Blade Shadow Sneak vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Gengar: 248-294 (94.6 - 112.2%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO nice team tho like the originality and synergy and props on taking my title ;[ can't really think of any major threats to team :[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Emvee Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) @Jory: Thank you for advocating for Fly Thunderus!!! :] Long live!!! @Slant: Thanks buddy :] Kamina is right about Aegislash. For Blaziken, 192 speed outruns the meta-game after 1 protect. 252 SpAtk is necessary since this is Mixed Blaziken, and the rest to attack for HJK to be powerful! @Kamina: Thank you very much friend :] you were really the only other person I had to watch out for on the ladder lol.

Tenshine Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Wow, that teams really cool, and it seems like you put a lot of time into making it. Mixed Blazechicken seems so crazy, but I guess no one would ever expect it, and that it can deal with a lot of the usual pokes it has some trouble with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyrias Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Good team, nice RMT, but please respect others and their RMTs. Saying "all RMTs lately suck" is breaking rule 1, and rule 5. Same with "If I send this thing out really early, it means I don't give two shits and I'm just gonna spam moves until you die, which you probably are." It's undermining a person's ability to deal with something. Please keep this in mind, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Emvee Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) @Tenshine: Thanks very much! :] Mixchicken has been one of my favorites on Reborn. @Nyrias: I edited the part about the other RMT's and about Kamina being the only competition since you're right it wouldn't be fair to everyone else, but I don't believe I have to take out that other part about Blaziken since being confident isn't against the rules and I'm not undermining anybody with that statement lol. I'm glad you like the RMT though thanks for dropping by! :] Edited February 13, 2014 by So Heroic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJMistery Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 pretty nice team, but... where are the defensive fairy types?=who will take Nite's titanic hits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Emvee Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 @SJMistery: For this team, it's not about taking hits as much as it is about doing damage. Blaziken and Garchomp would be the best answers to Dragonite, as one has HP Ice while the other has Outrage/Dragon Claw. At the same time, Aegislash and Genesect can take Outrage to an extent and hit hard with its moves. Don't forget this is an offensive team not a defensive one :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
