Lawl RMT v2.0
So after a bit of testing on Shoddy Battle, I came up with this team after doing a bit of mix-n-matching off of my old team. It's served me well so far.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/474.gif Porygon-Z @ Choice Scarf Ability: Adaptability EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Tri Attack - Thunderbolt - Ice Beam - Dark Pulse A powerful lead, but is outsped more often than I care for. I think I may move him back, but I'm not sure who else to lead with. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/149.gif Dragonite @ Yache Berry Ability: Inner Focus EVs: 58 HP/212 Atk/240 Spd Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def) - Dragon Dance - Outrage - Fire Blast - Earthquake He's powerful, but it's difficult to get him going. Frankly, he does the least on my team, so I think I'll take him out. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/214.gif Heracross @ Choice Scarf Ability: Guts EVs: 104 HP/252 Atk/152 Spd Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Megahorn - Close Combat - Stone Edge - Pursuit Pursuit is hilarious. That is all. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/477.gif Dusknoir @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP/78 Def/180 SDef Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Thunderpunch - Shadow Sneak - Will-o-wisp - Pain Split Shadow Sneak, Will o Wisp, and Pain Split are all very fun moves to use. Pain Split especially hurts on the switch. Switching in on Focus Punches and Explosions is also very entertaining. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/464.gif Rhyperior @ Leftovers Ability: Solid Rock EVs: 252 HP/6 Atk/252 Def Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Avalanche - Stealth Rock - Roar A very powerful tank. Earthquake and Avalanche offer good coverage, and Avalanche doesn't have the accuracy issues of Stone Edge. Roar for PHazing support, and Stealth Rock for kicks. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/205.gif Forretress @ Leftovers Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP/162 Atk/96 Def Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd) - Spikes - Gyro Ball - Rapid Spin - Explosion This guy is just fun to use. Gyro Ball is a good attack and STAB for him, and Explosion is always fun. :) Well, that's the team. Any comments/ suggestions? |

On Porygon: I've been outrun by a Garchomp or two, although the first Chomp that outran me had max Spd + Scarf. Z was also outsped by a Staraptor earlier. :P
On Dragonite: Is there anyone you'd suggest to take his place? On Heracross: The EVs were pretty much copypasta'd from Smogon. I'm still a newb, so I'm not sure which EVs to put where. Would you suggest maxing out Speed? On Rhyperior: I don't get the joke... |
Me either, but whatever. Dragonite out for Weavile then, dragon slayer extreme.

PoryZ probably doesn't have a high Speed IV if it was outran by Staraptor. But I guess you can't really breed over. And I'm assuming the stuff you were outran by is Adamant Natured (Jolly w/Scarf on over 80 Base Speed is just crazy lol)
Dragonite... possibly replace that with Gyarados. Him and Rhyperior have a nice joint combo. Gyarados @ Wacan Berry Ability: Intimidate EVs: 168 HP / 164 Atk / 176 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Dragon Dance - Taunt / Earthquake - Waterfall - Ice Fang / Stone Edge I know that some people run with more defensives sets, but sometimes, the offensive fashion can work as well. It accomplishes what Dragonite does, this time without the other Dragon Sweeper paranoia. Heracross, I like mine with Max Speed. It reaches 403 Speed, which outruns 130 Base Speeders. Pretty handy if I say so myself. Since Heracross is attacking anyway, I run the 252 Spread. If you want HP, then probably enough EVs for 255 Speed and 374 Attack. 92 HP / 216 Atk / 200 Spd is what I came up with. Assuming it's 31 IVs in all 3 areas, you get 323 HP, 374 Atk, and 256 Speed to begin with. Nothing's wrong with Rhyperior, just a little humor thrown in ;) (Got it from an episode of Ed, Edd, and Eddy some years back) |
Like I said, this was in Shoddy Battle, I had 31 IVs across the board. :P The Staraptor was probably Adamant+Scarf, as base 100 Speed is still pretty darn fast with a Scarf.
I think I might replace Dragonite with either Weavile or that Gyarados set. I'll try Weavile out first. Also, I used to watch Ed^3 when I was a kid. I'm ashamed I didn't get that joke (and still don't). |
Your Heracross is much better than the one in the compiled guides imho. I like it a lot.
Battle with it for a bit and if it doesn't outrun stuff you think it'll be able to outrun if you give it 252 speed EVs then you can always feed it berries and retrain. Also if your surviving a lot with 4 hp then don't transfer the EVs to speed :) |

Anyways enough nitpicking. Maybe replace dragonite with Yanmega, Blissey. I dunno >_> |
I think the Heracross in compiled guides was for 3rd gen :/ Beware of Gengar.

You might consider giving him Sleep Talk instead of Pursuit, it's pretty neat: Absorb sleep and strike them with x1.5 power and x1.5 speed when they least expect it.

but yeah...pursuit is cool and all, I actually would use both, but OMG OMG I need stone edge. EVIL. |
Quote:
And the Heracross in his team is Scarfed, not Choice Banded. |
Quote:
scarfcross can make use of the same moves CBcross can. I actually prefer CBcross because I like power, but it (scarfxcross with sleep talk) sure lols at gengar. |
Yes, but pretty much JUST Gengar unfrotuneatly, sleep talk without rest is pretty useless.

It really isn't =\
As a banded poke you're only going to use 1 attack most likely and then switch out, so it's good for surprise and absorbing status (using Rest doesn't count as sleep clause). |
Quote:
Anyhow, as mentioned, heracross can make very good use of sleep talk...actually even more so in 4th gen. |
