P R I M U S

~Introduction~

Alright you city boys, listen up. This little RMT of mine a little special because of all the weird EVs I dumped all over the place. This RMT got me far in the ladder at #3. Unfortunately you'll have to take my word on that as now I have quickly dropped to #12. ;w; This team was fun for the short time it lasted and i'm still very happy with how the team turned out. So, without further adeu, let's see what's in the Peanut Gallery.

~Teammates and Roles~

Lacquer Head (Landorus-T) (M) @ Choice Scarf

Shiny: Yes

Trait: Intimidate

EVs: 36 HP / 252 Atk / 220 Spd

Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

-Earthquake

-Rock Slide

-U-Turn

-Superpower / Knock Off

Primus?:

Landorus-T serves as a lot of things on my team. It served as a lead against pokemon that I can just U-Turn again. It also serves as my check towards Mega-Pinsir, Volcarona, and Zard-X for a surprise OHKO. The EVs were set for Landorus to just outspeed those things including Adamant 'Zard at +1 because anything else that I want Landorus to hit was already faster with a Scarf so I dumped the remaining EVs to HP. The setlist is fairly simple. I removed Stone Edge for Rock Slide because of it's Flinch Chance and slightly better accuracy. The last move is up for debate. Superpower keeps Landorus from being fodder to Air Balloon Heatran/Excadrill but Knock Off gives me so much help against Psychic Types or Pokemon that rely on their items for defense.

Naugahyde (Espeon) (F) @ Focus Sash

Shiny: Yes
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

-Hidden Power [Fighting]

-Light Screen

-Reflect

-Psyshock

Primus?:

This pokemon is special to me. I have always been a fan of using a Magic Bouncer on my teams and Espeon is no exception to that rule. It serves as my way to control hazards rather if I can risk something or not. Espeon is also there to completely counter Mega-Venusaur. It also has Hidden Power Fighting there to OHKO Bisharp and I won't have to worry about Sucker Punch due to Focus Sash. The EVs are pretty standard for a dual screen Espeon. This one is pretty cut and dry.

Wynona (Greninja) (F) @ Expert Belt

Trait: Protean

EVs: 16 Atk / 252 SAtk / 240 Spd

Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)

-U-Turn

-Hydro Pump

-Ice Beam

-Dark Pulse

Primus?:

This was my lead a long time ago. Now Greninja is a pokemon that I just slapped on because of how versatile this thing really is. It can do a hefty amount of damage to whatever switches into it or I can play mind games and U-Turn to a direct Counter/Check towards it that's faster. I forwent LO in exchange for Expert Belt because Life Orb Greninja get's worn down very easily and Expert Belt gives Greninja just enough power to make him annoying. Protean is already in effect for his movelist anyway so it was already doing enough without LO as is. Speed EVs were just to get him above Positive 120+ pokemon like Zam so I can outspeed it. The rest of the EVs went to boosting up U-Turn's power.

John (Aegislash) (F) @ Leftovers

Shiny: Yes

Trait: Stance Change

EVs: 40 Atk / 252 SAtk / 216 Spd

Mild Nature (+Satk, -Def)

-Shadow Ball

-Flash Cannon

-Substitute

-Sacred Sword

Primus?:

This set is incredibly unique to me as it works well with the U-Turning parts of my team that I have. The main goal of Aegislash is to setup on pokemon it's supposed to check and setup a Sub behind it on Switch In. It breaks down walls fairly well. The EVs are meant for Aegislash to Outspeed Chansey, Mandibuzz, Ferrothorn, AV Bisharp, and other annoying walls. Pretty simple, this is a wallbreaker Aegislash.

Mephisto (Conkeldurr) (F) @ Assault Vest)

Trait: Guts

EVs: 184 HP / 252 Atk / 48 SDef / 24 Spd

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

-Drain Punch

-Mach Punch

-Ice Punch

-Knock Off

Primus?:

This is probably the most uninspired teammate of mine. Conkeldurr is there to add on the additional fear factor to pokemon as Conkeldurr can scare out a lot of pokemon and gets free Knock Offs. The EVs are typical for an assault vest Conkeldurr, it gives it enough longevity to do some serious damage to pokemon that stay in on it like Mandibuzz or Rotom-W.

MUD (Charizard) (M) @ Charizardite X

Trait: Blaze

EVs: 144 HP / 240 Atk / 4 Sdef / 120 Spd

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Satk)

-Dragon Dance

-Earthquake

-Flare Blitz

-Outrage

Primus?:

Talk about a bulky attacker. Zard-X is my sweeper of the team. With it immense power to just ROFLstomp a lot of pokemon after a Dragon Dance or two is just amazing. Couple that with Dual Screen support and this thing will be extremely hard to take down. EVs are set to give Zard as much longevity to setup with Dragon Dance as possible. All coverage moves are there so I won't risk being walled and I choose Outrage over Dragon Claw because of the sheer power you get with it.

~Conclusion~

So there's my setup y'all. This was incredibly fun to make because of how it relates to one of my favorite bands of all time and how good it did for the period of time. I love music and when I can combine it with another thing I love, it just makes me giddy and happy and such. c: That's it for this RMT.

Fish On.

Trivia~

-I was really tempted to make a Jerry Was a Race Car Driver reference somewhere. I just couldn't find the right pokemon to use that nickname with

-I once considered to do a Rush RMT but that fell through quick. ._.

-A lot of the changes I made to this team where when it first started it. I adapted but I didn't go ballistic and change the whole team entirely.

-Dark Desire is a ninny. >:3

Nice team, but I feel as though I shouldn't listen to these at night...

>><<

[Ojama Yellow]

Meh, if that Conkeldurr's out of the picture... #Diggersbytho

[Lil' Baby Rupe]

do these evs actually mean anything or are they just random numbers

[Cowtao]

I explained most of it of the description for each of the pokemon. Some of them are fairly self-explanatory such as Dual Screen Espeon or AV Conk.

[Chevaleresse]

I would personally shy away from Outrage; the power boost over Dragon Claw is nice, but at this point there are too many easy switch-ins given the ubiquity of Scizor (resist+very high Defense) and the increasing popularity of Togekiss and Clefable. Other than that, I'm not seeing any major issues other than maybe Espeon being a bit squishy for the use of Dual Screens.
