Hey everyone. I titled my team after Mega T just because everybody likes a mega, but actually I consider mew to be the star of my team. I was never able to get him and after finding Showdown about a month ago, he's been my baby. I've tried things from Sash to life orb until I started learning the game better. Now he does what, in my opinion, he does best and that's stall. So I've built a team around him. And it goes a little something like this.
Mew
Mew @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 148 SpD / 108 Spe
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Will-O-Wisp
- Softboiled
- Taunt
Here he is! The man of the hour! Albeit a pink, genderless man, but the man nonetheless. This guy can be an amazing lead if I see the opponent is going to start with a rock or spike setter thanks to taunt. He cripple attackers with burn, and is always a hinderance to teams through knock-off. Softboiled is standard. His speed EV's let him outspeed a certain speed class by 1 and the rest goes to bulk. Few things can effectively deal with this beastly troll, at least not without being crippled themselves.
Mega-Tyranitar
Tyranitar @ Tyranitarite
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Atk
Sassy Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit
- Fire Blast/Roar
Tyranitar is usually my lead. His main job is actually just to set up stealth rocks, but he can also scare off a large portion of other leads and enemies. He's one heck of a special wall in a sandstorm, but he is also quite slow so he'll be taking hits and has no way of recovery. pusuit is marvelous for trapping and killing the likes of Starmie, Latias, Gengar and others. He can really disuade him some spinners and defoggers. I've always had fire Blast to punish a spinning Foretress or Ferrothorn, but I've been strongly considering roar in order to take advantage of switches that fear him. In that case I give him a careful nature. Thoughts?
Skarmory
Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Brave Bird/Iron Head
- Roost
No surprises on this thing, just a trusty old wall. Great typing and awesome defenses. Spike the ground and whirlwind around. Roost when necessary. Thanks to Tyranitar setting up rocks and sand, Skarmory wastes no time wearing down the opponent. They have obvious, well known, and undeniable synergy with each other. If breloom puts this thing to sleep and wants to stay in he'll die when I fly, but Iron head has become a strong consideration because of this teams archenemy...Clefable. It's likely Iron Head wouldn't do much though as a lot of Clefable carry flamethrower anyway. Rather keep Brave Bird and find a proper counter to Clefable. All suggestions on that are welcomed and desired.
Blastoise
Blastoise @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Calm Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Flash Cannon
-Dark Pulse
- Scald
The...dung of my team. This guy has only ever been a disappointmen with very little utility. He's my terrible spinner that can't really wall at all. I wanted some water on the team and I tried a disappointing Tentacruel, now this. I think I see now that Reflect Type Starmie would be better, but I'd still have my Clefable nightmares. Dark Pulse for Spin blockers. I recently put Flash Cannon on to deal with Clefables. Even in this, Blastoise disappoints. I guess I could boost his SpA, but I'd rather just replace him with a Clefable counter that would fit my team. Please suggest what I can do with this slot.
Shaymin
Shaymin @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Aromatherapy
- Healing Wish
-Hidden Power Fire
- Seed Flare
Now on to someone who's actually SUPPOSED to be disposable. I've never really used a support pokemon before, but here's my first. I gotta say I like this little (Genderless) lady. Defensive tank that can heal status or restore any of the important members of my team. NOT BLASTOISE! I HATE HIM! I...moving on. Hidden power fire hurts Scizor, Ferrothorn, Foretress or anyone 4x weak that isn't expecting it. Seed Flare surprises me with how much damage it can do to things with no investment. Low accuracy and PP though can make it a hit or miss. All in all a helpful little ball.
Goodra
Goodra @ Leftovers
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Def
Careful Nature
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
-Infestation/Toxic
- Outrage
Goodra is DAMN IT CLEFABLE STOP TAKING OVER EVERYTHING! Anyway, Goodra is a set I straight up stole from someone else. Rest talk is self explanatory. Infestation is to trap people so they can't just spike and go. Outrage does damage. My supreme special wall that can take on pretty much any special attacker (not clefable though). I may switch to toxic for the win in a stall out (Not against Clefable though). Sap Sipper takes grass hits aimed at T-Tar and ups outrage power. All in all a useful dragon.
So I know you guys might be sick of hearing of She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, but I have literally won every battle I've done with this team except ones against Clefable. I beat a clefable team once, but it didn't have flamethrower so skarmory had to wait til it struggled itself to death. Any suggestions are open. Please help me boost the team...and end the pink nightmares
