Old ideas come to life.
 
Infernape (♀) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Close Combat
- Flare Blitz
- Stone Edge
- U-turn

I'm debating with myself as to whether I should trade in U-turn for Thunderpunch. The strategy invovled here would be to use U-turn if against a Pokemon with a potential Water attack, and have it absorbed as i switch to Vaporeon. I hope it works. :|


Vaporeon (♀) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP/126 Def/130 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Acid Armor
- Baton Pass
- Surf
- Wish

Infernape uses U-turn, Vaporeon takes the drink. BP the Acid Armor over to Blissey. Whew! Teamwork is tough!


Blissey (♀) @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 200 HP/252 Def/58 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Charge Beam
- Flamethrower
- Ice Beam
- Softboiled

Softboiled was supposed to be Rest, but I gave it some thought. I dunno what else to do with this. Special Sweeper. Has great potential. :D


Swampert (♀) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/6 Def
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Roar
- Earthquake
- Avalanche
- Surf

Avalanche is so great on this. But I'm thinking of giving it a +Sdef nature instead. Hmm...


Skarmory (♀) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Roost
- Stealth Rock
- Whirlwind
- Aerial Ace

Everyone knows what this is.


Kabutops (♀) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Rain Dance
- Rapid Spin
- Rock Slide

"Life Orb and Rapid Spin?? WTF?!"
I'm sure that crossed your mind. It's supposed to be a Sweeper / Spinner. May replace LO with Lefties.


I tested this team on Shoddy. It pwned one team, then got pwned by another. Okay. Ready? Set? Rate. :D

I just don't trust a SP.sweeping Blissey. Too novelty.

Arsibiyez November 11th, 2007 5:23 AM

I haven't exactly worked the bugs out of this team yet. Although I have decided to keep U-turn on Infernape. Vappy takes most of Infernapes weaknesses quite well; even enough for a Wish to get through.

BTW, I lol at myself for not knowing how to use Stealth Rock. I though you had to lay down multiple layers just like Spikes. *bangs head on keyboard*
I've learned. I know how to use it now! Greetings! I am newbie! :D

I also wanna see if Flame Wheel or Blaze Kick would do nicely in place of Flare Blitz. The recoil Infernape took was just too much for me. :/

sims796 November 11th, 2007 5:30 AM

Kick, yeah. Not Wheel, or Bronzong walls ya.

EDIT:Wait, you have Combat, whoops.

Arsibiyez November 11th, 2007 5:50 AM

I'm pretty sure I'm walled by Bronzong anyway. It doesn't seem to matter whether the thing has Heatproof or Levitate, I doubt I can OHKO it. 2HKO, maybe, provided that Infernape survives the oncoming Psychic. Ouch...

And I wanna replace Kabutops. Whatever it is my team lacks, I'd like that to replace her. (It's a cleric, I'm guessing.)

Archer November 12th, 2007 12:21 AM

Yeah, um... make Blissey your cleric, get a reliable special sweeper, drop kabutops and swap AA on skarm for Drill peck. Your team has heaps of physical sweepers/tanks, so put in a mixed/special tank maybe..
I know! Claydol. It can also replace your kabutops' rapidspin.

Arsibiyez November 12th, 2007 1:46 AM

Well, hello there, Phoenix Wright!

Blissey's my novelty Special Sweeper. It's just too much fun to think she's actually capable of Special Tanking. =]

As for cleric... Meganium maybe? She's very mixed-tankish, too.

Meganium @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
Calm(?) Nature
- Aromatherapy
- Leech Seed
- Grass Knot
- Earthquake

now I'm stuck with no Spinner... ,,,(__),,,
