Hey everybody, this team will be used in my platnium once i get it and it is currently being used for my shoddy battle team. This team actually helps me out. You will see some common and maybe uncommon move sets and evs in here.
Bold = Changes
At a Glance:
The Lead
Ambipom (Flea) w/ Focus Sash
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Technician
Evs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 6 Hp
Moveset:
Fake Out
PayBack
U-Turn
Taunt
My lead. Ambipom first, flinches with fake out. Once thats done I will either u-turn my way out or keep fighting.Payback is mainly for Azelf and Gengar leads. Ambipom is a big annoyer in my team. I gave him Focus Sash for a good reason. I've been seeing some BP teams lately (+ there are still leads who are faster) and with Focus Sash, they attack first and payback does mostrous damage with technician.So either way he will get an attack boost. Taunt is to stop other leads from setting up stealth rock or anything else like that
The Medic
Vaporeon (WishMaker) w/ Leftovers
Nature:Bold
Ability: Water Absorb
Evs: 188 HP/ 252 Def/ 68 SpA
Moveset:
Surf
Ice Beam
Wish
Protect
Yes, this is a pretty standard Vaporeon. I used the hp and def evs from smogon but it said to put the rest in Speed. Well, I'm not really worried about speed for this vaporeon. 68 Special Attack evs helps against annoying pokemon like skarmory, infernape and heatran. Now, I'm sure some of you don't think that's a good idea. Well, in Shoddy battle I have gotten a good sweep out of it. Speed, I think, is a waste here as it can already take a good hit. Oh and, the 68 SpA evs are perfect here. It can already take enough hits and it doesn't need the speed.Surf is for stab and Ice Beam is there mainly for Mence. Then there is the wish and protect combo. The reason he is called medic is oboviously because he wish passes. Vaporeon is also my scizor counter.Now. I know what your thinking, "Vaporeon as a scizor counter?" Well, after messing around on shoddy I found that if I switch it out when it's going to use an abvious bullet punch, it doesn't do much. 20% no SD 40-50% after an SD. I've gone against it's other moves ad they still can't match it completly. Super Power 60-80%. No SD X-Scissor 70-80% No SD Brick Break 30 - 40% SD Brick Break 70-80%. Haven't figured out choice band attacks yet but I will post them.
The Defensive Tank
Gliscor w/ Leftovers
Impish
Sand Veil
116 HP/ 56 Atk/ 120 Def/ 216 Spe
Moveset:
Fire Fang
Earthquake
Roost
Stealth Rock
Ok, so this moveset allows me to switch on someone who wouldn't be to good against it, stealth rock on the switch and just go from there. The perfect counter for some ou pokemon like tyranitar, and Scizor. Roost is for hp reasons. Fire Fang is also there so it can hit ghost types like Gengar. The evs allow gliscore to survive any big physical hit that comes its way. His Speed evs allow it to outrun pokemon troubling pokemon such as a nuetral speed Lucario and I'm pretty sure a max speed Scizor so it can get away with Fire Fang before it dies. I have also been having trouble with Heatran lately and this set allows it to easily outrun a Heatran as long as it doesn't have a Choice Scarf
The Devastater
Tyranitar (Devaster) w/ Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Sand Stream
Evs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 6 Def
Moveset:
Dragon Dance
Fire Punch
Crunch
Stone Edge
The smogon Tyranitar. I'm not sure about the evs to put on this tyranitar. I wanted to put more into def but I wasn't sure. Dragon Dance is for obvious reasons. Fire Punch is there to take out scizor. Crunch is for stab and for annoying ghost and psychic types like Cresselia, Dusknoir, Gengar, Azelf etc... Stone Edge is for stab and for a super effective hit against Gyarados, Salamence, Dragonite etc... I send him out near the middle of the game. This is because it wipes the floor with at least 2 or 3 of the opponets pokemon after one DD.Yeah so...that's pretty much it.Possible the last pokemon the opponet sees haha. Sand Stream helps with Gliscors Sand Viel. Breloom is fine with this to because it gains 12% of HP a turn regulary with poison heal so it would be just like gaining leftovers HP.
The Revenge Killer
Gengar (Boo) w/ Choice Scarf
Nature: Modest
Ability: Levitate
Evs: 252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 6 HP
Moveset:
Hidden Power [Ice]
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Almost the basic Gengar. I chose Energy Ball over Hynosis here because I already have a sleeper. Hidden Power Ice is there is there for a revenge kill on Mence. I scarfed him to get mainly revenge kills on pokemon like Gyarados, Mence, Alakzam etc... Not much more I can say here...
Physical Beast of Nature
Breloom (Devastater) w/ Toxic Orb
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Poison Heal
Evs:252 Atk/ 220 Spe/ 36 HP
Moveset:
Swords Dance
Seed Bomb
mach Punch
Spore
A good Physical sweeper. Send him out on a weak pokemon then, expecting a switch who could pound breloom, uses spore. if he stays asleep or switches I will use a swords dance and go from there. Mach punch helps it go first and, with the boosted power and stab, gives it a beastly hit. Seed bomb is there for stab and for those slower, more annoying pokemon. The 220 Speed evs give it enough speed to outrun a low evd Gliscore and a non evd Gyarados. I gave the rest of the evs to HP so it can take a little blow at least.
yes so, this is my team. This team (on shoddy at least) has helped me out alot. Yes there are some weaknesses so please rate harshley and if you have any advice on mvoe sets or even pokemon switches. Go ahead and
say.
