Back in the game.
Thanks to Smogon's beta site and Shoddy I'm back into compeditive play. This is my first D/P level team, and it probably sucks pretty bad. I haven't tested it out just yet.
Gen (Gengar) (♂) @ Expert Belt Ability: Levitate EVs: 18 HP/240 Spd/252 SAtk Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Focus Blast - Hypnosis - Shadow Ball - Energy Ball --- Cyndi (Lapras) (♀) @ Leftovers Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 46 HP/100 Def/164 SAtk/200 SDef Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Heal Bell - Thunder - Ice Beam - Hydro Pump --- Draco (Dragonite) (♂) @ Yache Berry Ability: Inner Focus EVs: 122 HP/168 Atk/56 Def/104 Spd/60 SAtk Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Dragon Dance - Stone Edge - Thunder - Outrage --- Vegeta (Empoleon) (♂) @ Leftovers Ability: Torrent EVs: 252 HP/6 Spd/252 SDef Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Hydro Pump - Ice Beam - Grass Knot - Roar --- Gallade (♂) @ Expert Belt Ability: Steadfast EVs: 90 HP/252 Atk/20 Spd/148 SDef Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Close Combat - Night Slash - Psycho Cut - Will-o-wisp --- Leela (Lucario) (♀) @ Salac Berry Ability: Inner Focus EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/6 SDef Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Reversal - Endure - Swords Dance - Crunch --- |
Yay lapras, haven't seen it in ages. Likin the team btw
|
Forgive me, but this team seems 100% offence-orientated, with a Tanky/Heal Beller Lapras. Possibly replace one special sweeper and one physical sweeper for their respective walls?
|
Don't use the Endure + Reversal strategy. It is torn into pieces in competitive play because of Sand Streamers, Status Inflictions and whatnot.
Use Thunderbolt over Thunder on Lapras. And personally I like Surf over Hydro Pump on Lapras and Empoleon; more PP and higher accuracy traded for power sounds like a pretty good deal to me. |
hmm, Lucario is immune to Sand Stream, so that isn't a problem. There are a lot more priority moves out there to consider for Reversalers, as well as Hail.

The status thing could be solved by placing Substitute over Endure. Edit: Awww...nevermind Toothache beat me to it >_< |
Expert Belt on Gengar?
Gengar @ Wide Lens (M) Trait: Levitate Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Hypnosis - Thunderbolt - Focus Blast - HP Ice/Energy Ball... |
^ Yeah, I was just referring to the strategy in general; not specifically referring to Lucario. But yeah, you do have a point with the Sub thing.
|
Erm. We're talking about Lucario now?
Lucario @ Life Orb (M) Trait: Steadfast Lonely Nature (+Atk, Def) - Close Combat - Extremespeed - Dragon Pulse - Dark Pulse.. Salac Berry is useless when you have Steadfast.. |
Quote:
Choice Band Extremespeed is also a beast, run it with Bullet Punch to obliterate Rock type that block Extremespeed. Choice Scarf Lucario with Close Combat ftw |

|
Steadfast seems too unreliable to me... I don't like having to depend on a flinch.
|
This team absolutely NEEDS a physical and special wall. Also there is no Spikespinner on this team.

But you are right, the walls have gobne missing! Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers ** Ironwing Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 40 Atk / 216 Def Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Drill Peck - Rest - Roar - Spikes Blissey (F) @ Leftovers ** Blisspuff Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Aromatherapy - Ice Beam - Seismic Toss - Softboiled Teh skarmbliss.
