"It's no use against a speed you can't touch."

Sooooooooo. I promised Nica I'd make one and after putting it off all week, I finally decided to make it haha. That and the fact that it could use a little help here and there. Most notably a need for fire type moves.

Anyways, team at a glance:



At first I thought, ok. I want hazard damage. Lots of it. Let's make a team based of residual damage.

Hmm.. Who has enough bulk to set up SR and Spikes x3? Deoxys-D it is.

Well hey, I'm going to need a good sweeper after everyone's taken enough damage. Who better than my favorite all time Pokemon, Dragonite?

Wait a minute.. We have a problem here.. No spin blocker. Mmm. We've gotta change that. But I don't want to completely mimic the Apocalypse team from Smogon, so I'll base this team off of hazard damage and then a quick kill with priority. Gengar's fast, but can be outsped. What usually doesn't get outsped? Shadow Sneak from Spiritomb. Not to mention great bulk and immunity to Rapid Spin.

When I say "Priority Attacker," who comes to your mind first? Scizor? Yeah, same here.

Dragons will give me problems, especially if Dragonite's my only counter and I want to save it for last. What can kill Dragons? Ice. Donphan perhaps, for spinning, too? Naaaaaah. Too weak. Mamo gets STAB and resists both hail and sand. Coooooooooooooool.

Oh hey look, Hydreigon gives me hell. What hurts it? Conkeldurr. What else can Conk do? **** all over bulky waters. Sounds like a good addition to me.






The team's had mixed success so far. I can name Quagsire and Skarmory as extremely annoying Mons off the top of my head.

For Spiritomb, what's the point of using Sassy when its Special Defense isn't being invested? Use Adamant instead.

For Scizor isn't 248 HP/44 Atk/216 SDef a bit more efficient than your current spread?

If you don't mind my asking, why Rest over Roost on Dragonite? If Dragonite's Chesto Berry is used up and it's forced to Rest again, then it's pretty much a sitting duck.

I think that's just a random set I took from Smogon. I'll try out the Adamant nature, thanks ^^

As for Scizor and Dragonite:

Scizor was all for the bluffing. The more power I had, the it would look like a banded Scizor, which is how I typically play it against people who don't know the team. Even with the lower SDef EVs, it's still just as specially bulky as it is physically. The only thing it has to worry about is fire, for obvious reasons.

As for Dragonite, I suck at Roosting. I never got the hang of it. That and the fact that you'd have to do it more often, and I am simply terrible at the whole predicting thing. With Rest, I can see how much damage it takes, and judge the situation from there. I can usually get 3 dances up, and heal all the way back up before I go for a sweep. On occasions, I'll only get 2 but that's more than enough power. And there's the added effect of removing statuses. Just like a Lum Berry, Rest can cure status, but it also recharges Multiscale. It's like a Lum Berry and Roost all in one, which I like better since I'm very aggressive during battles haha.

You need a mixed wall breaker maybe a mixedmoxie scarf salamence or a mixnape? Skarmory basically walls your team.

I tried ChestoRest Nite before and it was good. You just lack a special attacker like what Kittyipawd said. I'm not sure if you could replace Conkeldurr with Infernape. You could opt for a Nasty Plot carrier or a MixApe. Conkeldurr may bring more power, but speed is almost always top priority.

Hmm.. While I like the concept of Infernape, taking Conkeldurr off would give me a new weakness to bulky water types. Which of Quagsire is already giving me problems. That means I'd need a grass attack or two.. Suggestions? I usually don't play with grass Mons at all so my knowledge on them is about as much as a newborn's :P

You can use Grass Knot on Ape. :P
