True UU RMT!
Ok, first READ THIS: THIS TEAM IS FOR FUN, USING MY FAVORITE POKEMON. I KNOW IT'S NOT THE BEST. THE POKEMON IN THIS TEAM WILL NOT CHANGE, ONLY ITEMS AND MOVESETS. Don't say "USE HYPO, HE'S AN AWESOME SPECIAL WALL," or "ARBOK SUXXORS LOL!!!11"
Now that that's out of the way, let me explain how this team works. It's a baton pass team with lots of options. I have 2 baton passers that set up speed, defense, and special defense passes. I have a special sweeper and physical sweeper for the end of each chain (notice I'm not passing any attack stats, so I can pass to either one). I also have a phys/special wall combo that I like to call SandOwl. These two can recieve passes as well, though can't sweep very well. Gorebyss @ ??? Swift Swim Nature: ??? EVs (need help): (252 HP/252 Sp Atk/6 Spd) Amnesia Barrier Aqua Ring/Surf Baton Pass Has a great Def stat, so after Amnesia, should be a good enough tank to set up. I'd like to pass Aqua Ring as well, but then I would sacrifice an attack move (and it would be a shame to let Gorebyss' good Sp Atk stat go to waste). Ariados @ ??? Insomnia Nature: ??? EVs: ??? Spider Web Agility Baton Pass Sucker Punch/Poison Jab Bad defenses, so he recieves the pass from Gorebyss, Agilities, Webs if it looks good, and passes on to a sweeper. Sucker Punch/Poison Jab for Taunters. It's also good to note that Ariados has Insomnia, which is useful. Venomoth @ Expert Belt/Black Sludge/Wise Glasses Tinted Lens Modest (252 Sp Atk/252 Spd/6 Hp) Bug Buzz Energy Ball HP Fire/Ground/Rock Psychic/Stun Spore Special sweeper. Has pretty good coverage, SE on all but about 5 types (those dependant upon which HP I run). If I run Stun Spore, I can probably invest some Speed EVs into HP and run Black Sludge to be a little bulky (since I should get an agilipass anyway), but I lose coverage on Fighting and Poison-types. Otherwise, I can run Expert Belt for harder SE hits, or Wise Glasses (NVE attacks can hit pretty hard then). I thought about running HP Fire/Solarbeam with sun, but there's no good way to get sun for him, as my walls are strapped for moveslots as it is, and my BPers can't sacrifice a slot either. Btw, Venomoth is begging for Air Slash... Arbok @ Expert Belt/Black Sludge/Muscle Band? Intimidate Adamant (252 Atk/252 Spd/6 HP) Ice Fang Crunch Gunk Shot Glare/Earthquake/Rock Slide Physical Sweeper. Covers types that Venomoth can't, namely Dragon and Ghost. Gunk Shot for STAB, EQ/Rock Slide for coverage. Now for SandOwl! Sandslash @ Leftovers Sand Veil Impish (252 HP/252 Def/6 Atk) Stealth Rock Rapid Spin/Defense Curl Earthquake Stone Edge/Rollout I was going to run a ReSTalk on this guy, but I realized that I have 2 (!) pokes with Insomnia, so I don't need to. Should I be concerned about SR/spikes with all the baton passing and Flying I have? If so I run RS/Stone Edge, otherwise Defense Curl/Rollout ftw. Note that DC/Rollout can be comboed with a Webpass. Noctowl @ Leftovers Insomnia Calm (252 HP/252 Sp Def/6 Sp Atk) Hypnosis/Toxic Roost Air Slash Whirlwind Several cool things I can do with this guy: Webpass + Toxic, Agilipass + Air Slash for flinchax, Toxic + Whirlwind. Roost for recovery and Hypnosis is always useful |
Ok im not good with passer teams but ill try:

Future raters, dont criticise me for bad advice. This is my first rate for a pass team, and everyone has to start somewhere. I think ive made some educated suggestions though. In all, a nice solid team :) |
You REALLY gotta watch for Manetric with Flamethrower, and in my case, HP Grass. It will hit 5 out of 6 pokemon super effectively.
I do like how you're considering Venomoth though. It was an old favorite of mine, with that set, you're looking great. Expert Belt ftw. |
Hmmm that Manectric does seem to be a problem. I knew I had a slight Electric weak but HP Grass will screw over Sandslash. That's why I was looking at HP Ground on Venomoth. Wouldn't that be a nasty surprise for your Manectric? You couldn't hope to outspeed if I have an Agility, and HP Ground would do like 80% dmg to you while Thunderbolt wouldn't OHKO with Amnesia passed. However, I still can't really switch into Manectric with anyone but Sandslash, who'd lose to HP Grass.
