ABY's Winter Maelstrom
This team's completely experimental. I've been doing some matches lately, and it's doing well actually.
[email protected] Band *Frosty* Jolly nature 252atk/252spd/6HP Ice Shard Focus Punch Seed Bomb Earthquake Thanks to D.Azelf for the set; Focus Punch OHKOs Blissey coming in if it were to try for some reason, and it's just a powerful move to really cause havoc. Ice Shard OHKOs Scarfchomp that thinks it can get a quickie with Fire Fang, but who in their right mind would keep Chomp vs. Abomasnow? [email protected] Sash *YOUR FACE!* (I randomly nickname pokemon whatever comes to mind.) Jolly 252atk/252spd/6HP S.D. Ice Punch Brick Break Night Slash I'm still a fan of the Sash Weavile, despite what people say about it. SR does indeed kill me in this set, but keep going down the list. Also, 252 spd to ensure speed ties with other Weaviles that want to run max speed. [email protected] Impish 252HP/252Def/6atk Hyper Cutter (So Gyarados doesn't screw me over nor Salamence) Ice Fang/Aerial Ace Earthquake Roost Stealth Rock Physical sponge obviously. Aerial Ace might potentially replace Quake to deal with Hera...yet again. Stealth Rock is obvious. [email protected] Sludge 204 HP / 96 SP.ATT / 172 SP.DEF / 36 SPEED Calm Nature Liquid Ooze (Over Clear Body to lol at seeders) Rapid Spin Surf Giga Drain/HP Electric Ice Beam/Blizzard Sorta modified moveset wise. With Blissey, I'd rather paralyze over poison, so Toxic spikes are out of it. Giga Drain or HP Electric is dependant on when I get an IV check for Hidden Power. G.Drain's to 2HKO the incoming Swampert. I might modify the EVs a little bit to have more special attack. Thanks to D.Azelf again...also, I might go Blizzard over Ice Beam to take advantage of Hail, but I'm still iffy on it. [email protected] Scarf Modest 252sp.atk/252spd/6HP Psychic Thunderbolt Energy Ball Focus Blast People tell me I shouldn't use this, but I love this set. I'm uneasy on double-status Voir due to my already-weak ScarfCross problem, and Guts will make it a lot worse.. This set also majorly damages Gyarados that gets off a Dragon Dance or Taunts a sponge of mine. However, max speed Dos is a threat. *Since I can't think of other options...* [email protected] Bold 252HP/252def/6sp.def Seismic Toss T-Wave Softboiled Aromatherapy My all-needed Cleric and sp. sponge. I don't need Ice Beam because the team's Ice-strong side. X_X. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know my team has a ton of weaknesses, but this is more like my semi-mess around team. In reality, I gotta finish Gliscor and Tentacruel, and their replacements are bleh for now. Anyway, I'm striking with at least 2 ice types to keep Hail useful and with at least some mini use. |

[email protected] 252 SPEED / 252 ATT / 6 HP Jolly Nature - Crunch - Earthquake - Taunt - Dragon Dance =/ Your also exceedingly Physical infernape weak Id maybe put Tentacruel and a Bulky ground type on here Im thinking Tenta >>> Claydol and it can spin aswell aswell as deals with mixape. and Gliscor >> Cloyster. This helps with your hera and T-Tar problem. Remember on a hail/weather team, all your members dont have to be immune to the weather effect. |
Well, as I said, it's just a team of experimentation, and I do have some Impish Gliscors that I thought about raising, so I might do that sometime soon.
Tentacruel...I forgot where to get Rapid Spin and the EV spread for it. Alright, so now I look at... Abomasnow *Frosty*, Weavile *YOUR FACE!*, Tentacruel *Tentannoy*, Gliscor (will think of a name), Blissey (Can't rename it due to trade), and Gardevoir (Will think of name as well) |

Breed a male Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise with a female Kabuto/Kabutops, then breed the resulting male Kabuto with Rapid Spin to a female Tentacool/Tentacruel. Tentacruel[email protected] 204 HP / 96 SP.ATT / 172 SP.DEF / 36 SPEED Calm Nature Trait : - Liquid Ooze - Toxic Spikes / Giga Drain / Hidden power Electric - Ice beam / Sludge Bomb / Hidden power Electric - Surf / Hydro Pump - Rapid Spin You should be ok with toxic spikes as you have Gliscor, so you wont need to worry about heracross. Giga Drain 2hkos incoming water/ground types such as swamperts etc Sludge Bomb gets STAB and deals with bulky waters. Hidden power Electric 2hkos incoming Gyarados. Rest of moves are self explanatory. |
Stallrein Plox.
[email protected] Bold 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Sp. Def Ice Body Protect Toxic Blizzard Earthquake With Hail in effect, it regains 1/8 of it's health each turn, when combined with Leftovers. Toxic your opponent, then continue to Protect up your health against physical sweepers. Blizzard takes advantage of the 100% Accuracy from Hail, and Earthquake says bye to Electric and Fire types which can annoy Walrein. (THis is a Physical Wall) This is the second most common pokemon behind Abomasnow on a Hail Team... ~T_S |
How many rapid spinners do you need? O_o
Any physical attacker that can beat Cloyster (a lot) will eat you up. Heracross will not be nice to you especially, and claydol with no recovery means you're really going to get rocked. Really, just a few physical hits and you're down and out. BTW, Abonasnow runs a Subpuncher set a lot and carries leech seed a ton. Something tells me Blissey isn't exactly a common switch-in. |
Choice Band Ice Shard from Abomasnow might not guarantee a 1HKO on Garchomp.. he is easily stopped by Skarmory, just like the rest of your team in case you lose Gardevoir to Pursuit. SubSeed (Leech Seed or Seed Bomb**) Aboma is usually a lot more annoying, especially with Focus Punch. With the right EV's you can beat Skarmory 1 on 1, 2HKO'ing with Blizzard.
And if you're gonna use Walrein, do Sub + Protect + Surf/Blizzard + Roar, because that is one set that is hard to beat.. ** I meant Wood Hammer, not Seed Bomb lol |

Focus Punch Substitute Grass Knot Leech Seed / Blizzard ~T_S |
Most Abaomnasnow I've seen run Wood Hammer (or some random grass move) Blizzard, Sub, and focus Punch. Why would somebody switch swampert in on something that carries a STAB GRass move? O_o It defies common sense.
|
That's what has me confused, but they expect Focus Punch is all it will carry... o.0
I dunno, but any ghost switches normally too. (Dusknoir almost always, but then it cannot break the sub without Fire Punch...) ~T_S |
Alright, I updated my team with Tenta and Gliscor. I still like CB Abomasnow because it's a lot of fun to use ^^
|
No Thunder Fang on Gliscor...just...ever. It has no business staying in on Gyarados, and Wacan Berry is somewhat common. Heck, you'd be better off using Stone Edge on Gliscor, and stone Edge is terrible on it.
Use Ice Fang (Aerial Ace works too.) I still don't get that Abomasnow set. EQ and Focus Punch have very similar coverage. I really hope Focus Punch is for something other than Blissey, since Bliss is a stupid switch into Abomasnow. EQ isn't needed though. |
I might try to remove quake for something else. Focus Punch also hits things that can alter the weather (like Tyranitar coming in to absorb a Blizzard.) Basically, It's a first time I've wanted to try Focus Punch on something, and since Jolly with great IVs came by, I took D.Azelf's set for a Choice Band Abomasnow, and I like it a pretty good bit.
-_- Re-update with Gliscor change. |
No quake plesh. Add Substitute and take CB off. Most likely you'll find yourself on the receiving end of a Gengar switch, then you'll be forced to switch, or be killed...
~T_S |
is ice shard an option
y not just set out some rocks and pwn from there...... |
