Rmt
 
Bronzong @ Leftovers
Sassy; Levitate
252 Hp, 212 Sdef, 44 Atk
Gyro Ball
Earthquake
Stealth Rock
Toxic/Reflect/Light Screen

My lead and Special wall-of-sorts. Earthquake for annoying enemy Steels and Fire/Electric types. Gyro Ball is mainly for Gengar. If I can I'll use SR and one of the Support moves listed to give my team an early advantage and send the other team on the defensive, allowing my sweeps to set up.

Ninetails @ Wide Lens
Timid; Flash Fire
252 Satk, 252 Spd, 4 Hp
Flamethrower/Fire Blast
Energy Ball
Nasty Plot
Hypnosis

My Special sweeper. In the choice between this and Houndoom, I chose this because I saw Houndoom as an unnecessary Fighting weakness and drop in Speed. Plus Grass is an amazing attack type for Fire pokemon. If Salamence comes in hopefully I'll have used Hypnosis and he stays asleep for a couple turns while I NP.

Poliwrath @ Salac Berry
Jolly; Water Absorb
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 Hp
Waterfall
Brick Break
Substitute
Belly Drum

I went with the softie's way of setting up BD, cause I don't think I could handle the prediction skills required by the Hardcore way, even if it grants you more type coverage. 393 speed after I drum mah belly should be sufficient for most teams, except those damned Ninjask/Yanmega ones... hate those mofos.

Forretress @ Macho Brace
Relaxed; Sturdy
252 Hp, 252 Def, 4 Atk
Gyro Ball
Earthquake
Rapid Spin
Spikes

Meh physical wall/rapid spinner/spikes setter/slight Bronzong clone. Covers main problem of having my main sweeper being weak to SR, 'nuff said.

Gardevoir @ Leftovers
Bold; Trace/Synchronize
252 Hp, 136 Def, 104 Spd, 16 Sdef
Wish
Will-o-Wisp
Thunderbolt/Thunder Wave
Psychic/Thunder Wave

I think the people at Smogon were crazy to suggest Modest on something as defensive as Gardevoir is supposed to be. Besides the fact that it has 286 Satk at 0 EV's neutral nature. I was really glad when I realized that there were other Wishpassers besides the tried and true Vaporeon and Jirachi. Main Problem is where to fit Twave, which I think will tremendously help my slower sweeper set up. Thinking about replacing Tbolt because I can just wisp Gyarados if it switches in.

Garchomp @ Choice Scarf
Lonely; Sand Veil
252 Atk, 224 Spd, 32 Sdef
Outrage
Earthquake
Crunch
Fire Blast

Hey, I needed a revenge killer who was either resistant or immune to Electric. So basically it was Garchomp or that damn Dugtrio. Fire Blast for Skarm, who would otherwise be able to switch in easy and set up w/e it wants.


Rate /10, criticisms, suggestions, and all that good stuff.
*Has not been tested yet on Shoddy*

Double status Gardevoir owns (Omit psychic..., Type coverage on it is more important than STAB IMO.

For Forretress, lagging tail over brace? :P

shedinjask December 28th, 2007 2:22 PM

That Forry needs Leftovers.

Waker of Chaos December 28th, 2007 2:25 PM

The Macho Brace has no use in battle. Use an Iron Ball or Lagging Tail instead, in case someone tries to Trick you, thinking you have Leftovers. Either that, or actually use Leftovers.

shedinjask December 28th, 2007 2:27 PM

Macho Brace halves Spd.

But you still need Lefties.

I don't think you realized what he was attempting to do with the Set. And what he was trying to do was power up Gyro Ball. Needless to say, the set is fine. There are exceptions to using moves twice.. But, Gyro Ball Isn't one of them. Hehe. Poliwrath is fine. Wide Lens provides such a low increase, hence, I label it redundant. I really can't see any glaring weaks.

I don't think you realize that Forry is slow enough already and without reliable recovery it's screwed.

If you're going with Wide Lens on Ninetales, pick Fire Blast.

True, but Gyro Ball works just as fine. Gyro Ball + STAB + No Speed EV's + A low base Speed + some other things = Win.

ABYAY December 28th, 2007 2:55 PM

Yeah, Macho Brace CAN work, and enemy Trickers won't get anything out of it. With Iron Ball, it runs that 0.00001% chance they're running Fling too. Fling + Iron Ball = ouchiez.

For Garde, put T-Wave over Psychic; After waving or wisping Gyarados, you need T-bolt to keep it suppressed and put it down for the count.
