Other No legendaries league team

Mentack

My local play group has it's own set of rules, such that we can use any Pokemon/item, except for legendaries. With that in mind, I think Ubers is a better place to test than OU, because it allows me to use and face things like Blaziken, Mega Kangaskan, and Aegislash, which I could certainly face at the tournaments my group holds.

Blaziken @ Blazikenite
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz
- High Jump Kick
- Protect
- Knock Off

It was a toss-up between Blaziken, Lucario, and Kangaskhan for which would be my mega. I'm not a huge fan of Mega Kangaskhan, even though it's probably the best of the 3. I really like Lucario, but originally had Aegislash on the team too, and felt that would give me too much of a weakness to fire, while not having any solid fire attacks myself. So I ended up with the Big Bird. Knock off over Swords Dance because he already has sky high attack, and a fast knock off user is very good. HJK over low kick because not everything in my meta weighs a ton.

Scizor @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Def
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Superpower

I love CB Scizor. Easily one of my favorite sets, simply because CB Bullet Punch does so much damage. Adamant because Scizor's not out speeding anything anyways. Other moves are pretty standard. Knock Off may switch to pursuit, as I also have knock off on Blaziken

Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Ice Beam
- Hydro Pump
- Extrasensory
- Grass Knot

Greninja is probably my second favorite Gen 6 mon (behind Aegislash). He's super fast, and hard to predict. He is generally used to revenge kill, and can often take down 2-3 pokemon before succumbing to Life Orb damage. Grass Knot over HP fire because of bulky water, ground, and rock pokemon.

Gengar @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Taunt
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Bomb
- Thunderbolt

Gengar is what I replaced Aegislash with. I realized I needed a fast taunt, and Gengar fit the bill nicely. Shadow Ball and Sludge Bomb are powerful STABs, while Thunderbolt gives me coverage against fliers and water.


Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 248 HP / 188 Def / 72 Spe
Impish Nature
- Substitute
- Protect
- Toxic
- Earthquake

Gliscor is my physical wall. He's running a standard sub-toxic set, because I haven't found a better set for him. EVs were taken from the SmogDex, honestly not really sure what the speed EVs are for, might switch more of them to Def.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
- Heal Bell
- Flamethrower
- Soft-Boiled
- Toxic

Blissey is my special wall and cleric. Flamethrower over seismic toss because I have fighting coverage, and want to be able to hit things like Gengar and Aegislash if needed. Heal Bell over protect as I want to be able to cure status, because nothing likes being burned or paralyzed. Soft-Boiled for longevity, and I'm not running protect, so Wish isn't as useful. Toxic to stall.

Currently sitting at 1255 ELO on the Ubers Suspect test ladder, but haven't played a ton. I think I've lost 3 times so far with this team.

Threats:
Hazards, specifically Toxic Spikes can give me problems, despite having 3 pokemon immune to poison.

EKiller Arceus can also sometimes give me problems. If it gets to SD, I have a hard time killing it.

Mega Gengar - especially if it runs taunt

Kyogre - only a problem if Greninja and Gengar are dead

Replays:
So far, I've only saved 3 replays, 2 of them losses.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uberssuspecttest-179943558 - Make some misplays, and get wrecked due to a combination of all of my threats

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uberssuspecttest-179942366 - bad play with Deoxys-A puts me behind, but I'm able to come back thanks to Scizor, Blissey, and Greninja.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uberssuspecttest-179941313 - Arceus Kyogre and Mega Gengar give me trouble again.
 
I'm not using things like Arceus and Kyogre because in my play group they are banned. I explicitly stated this in the intro....

With that in mind, Do you have suggestions on different move sets or ev spreads that would make the team more effective?

Well, since you're saying... I would make some changes in his team: Chansey > Blissey. In Uber, have few Knock 'Offer'. I personally would find beter to, in place a Substitute, Knock Off on Gliscor, believe it's better. There's another: In Blaziken is more advisable to put, in place of Knock Off, Swords Dance.
That's all! ;)
(sorry for somes mistakes, I don't speak english very much)
 
Your Blissey may need more HP investment because, unlike Chansey, she can't utilize Eviolite.
Maybe make your Gliscor faster and use only Substitute or Protect, not both...?
Try to involve a Mega in your team as you have plenty of options in Ubers, (like Kanghaskan, Mawile, Blaziken, any Mega really).

I agree with you.
 
I'm using mega blaziken. I'll give SD a shot on it.

I thought blissey would be better than chansey, as it is ranked higher in the viability list.

The gliscor is a sub toxic stall set, and works by alternating between sub and protect to wear down poisoned pokemon. It is surprisingly effective
 
Hm personally I wouldn't really call this an ubers team. Honestly, if you intend it for an ubers meta its going to fall short. If it is, Chansey is really bad in ubers due to the presence of Gengar, so use shed shell blissey. Consider retagging this as other but idk
 
I retagged it, Listed it as Ubers because that's the server I was testing it on on Showdown. Is there another good simulator that lets you set custom rules, or has a no legendaries meta?
 
Yeah, I wish there was a simulator that let people create there own ban lists. No legendaries seems to be fairly common.

Hi. Sorry, I knew you had Blaziken, but I meant use another Mega w/ regular Blaziken. Mega-Blaziken is good though, but it needs some work.
