Because Registeel > You
 
So I made a new team based around Registeel. I've been having some trouble assembling this so I hope it turned out okay.

This is for DP yes. I already have a few good ADV teams so probably no more of those.

Either way it's all defense, no offense as always. I won't be adding in sweepers so recommending them is an epic waste of your time.

I tried to make this so it countered everything at least pretty well, I hopefully didn't fail. I threw it together a bit so I don't expect it to be perfect, so rate away.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SAtk
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Hydro Pump
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Roar

Swampert lead >>>>> other leads. Also it's just plain awesome.

Registeel @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Explosion
- Hammer Arm
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock

Ew Smogon EVs that actually work.

Anyways Registeel counters a lot of stuff and is just plain awesome. Toxic because Bulky Grounds that thing Registeel is a joke...the joke is on them.

When Registeel has no more hope, Explosion will ince again turn the tables on the opposition.

Registeel has a lot of fun resistances to play around with and just laughs at Porygon-Z.

Cresselia @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 124 HP / 200 Def / 184 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Reflect
- Ice Beam
- Charge Beam
- Moonlight / Hidden Power [Fighting]

Cress is a good pokemon and takes two of Registeel's 3 weaknesses. Having trouble with the last slot.

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 200 HP / 252 Def / 56 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Surf
- Wish
- Baton Pass
- Substitute

Wish and subpasser, also beats Mixed infernape.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Roost
- Toxic

Physical wall. Toxic laughs at a lot of common switch-ins.

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Body Slam
- Crunch
- Sleep Talk
- Rest

Snorlax can actually be a good special wall this gen ;) Do not recommend Curselax or I will ignore your post.

luke February 22nd, 2008 5:23 PM

Mwhahaha. Your Registeel will never have as good of IVs as mine. Infernape might possibly rip through this team if it's Mixed (but most teams are vulnerable). I'm not in the best mood at the moment, so I'll let other people sort it out.

Anti February 22nd, 2008 5:31 PM

Okay my Registeel has better IVs than yours because this is shoddy and I will hack the network to get 10000000 EVs in each stat :P

Also Vappy will beat Mixed Infernape and even Nasty Plot Grass Knot will fail to come close to OHKOing.

Also I was wondering...can gliscor survive flamethrower after Nasty Plot from Mixape? Probably not but I'm curious.

Also for when Dark_Azelf comes I can gloat that I'm not SD Lucario weak :P

Ársa February 22nd, 2008 5:32 PM

Ummm...Grass Knot Bronzong Leads beat your Swampy, but ya, not that common. Anyway.

[email protected]
Relaxed
???
Levitate

Hypnosis (Anything else)
Earthquake (Registeel doesn't do anything apart from Hammer Arm...)
Grass Knot (Swampert, Vappy (:P Not really)
Explosion (Cress, Snorlax)

w/e, I'm tired atm, so that's all I can think of.

~T_S

Anti February 22nd, 2008 6:01 PM

Cresselia will wall that Bronzong with Reflect and Registeel can survive predicted explosion. also Vaporeon stalls that really badly. Snorlax can lower its Def with Crunch, paralyze it, and really disable it pretty badly.

First off, it's Blueberry>>>> Vileplume>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Registeel>>>>>>>>>>>>Nameless>>sims796.

Second, I applaud you for using Registeel. Never quite understood why it was labeled so bad.

Anti February 22nd, 2008 6:33 PM

I've always loved the Regi group (especially Ice and Steel) so I had to try this out.

And seriously look at what it resists:

-rock
-normal
-steel
-ghost
-dragon
-dark
-grass
-ice
-psychic
-flying
-poison
-bug

That defines "gg"

jc_rcw February 22nd, 2008 8:38 PM

hey I'm celebi and I pretty much wall your team.

Anti February 22nd, 2008 10:05 PM

Ew that sucks ._.

I'll see what evil plan I have up my sleeve to solve that one. Okay time to find something with Pursuit.......

Shadowthinker February 22nd, 2008 11:55 PM

Nice team but a team could pierce through the defenses

boo836 February 23rd, 2008 3:04 PM

Anti, I would go hp fighting cause of gross and pory-z. You may also get a fair hit from tar and maybe heatran. You also might curse on registeel. ANd snorlax does learn pursuit. :)

Anti February 23rd, 2008 3:08 PM

Um Snorlax wouls suck with Pursuit since Celebi seeds it and shrugs off Crunch like nothing.

Curse Registeel sucks. I'd much rather run sandstorm and use Regirock for that.

Also Metagross isn't even hurt by HP fighting and Cresseliax gets OHKO by dark Pulse from Porygon-Z >.> It's for Tyranitar and Weavile who switch in to Pursuit me.

I would think 2 EQ's and one Hammer Arm is enough. But Anit's variant of Snorlax can take PorygonZ's hits, and Body Slam it back. :O

And so, Moonlight is better in this case, especially if you don't have Wish support in your favor.

Anti February 23rd, 2008 3:14 PM

No, Registeel is my Porygon-Z counter. Choice Specs Tri Attack can do up to 50% on snorlax and Nasty Plot is just gg, which is why Registeel is there.

My first thought was actually good? 0_o Well, I'll try to not to SPAm much here, but I just noticed Vaporeon. :/ My mistake.

But really, if Registeel is your Porygon-Z counter, I would suggest Moonlight.

But that's all I can find to help you with, really. You just make excellent teams. :P

Um Registeel can't learn Moonlight :0

It's going to blow up anyways.

I meant for Cresselia. :D

Anti February 23rd, 2008 3:22 PM

Ew, I hate Moonlight anyways, especially since half the teams out there have Hipowdon or Tar.

Currently I'm just looking for solutions to not being totally walled by half the metagame which this team kind of is.

I know, you just posted as an option. If you don't like it, you could already for Rest, one thing that caught my attention was of Mixape, One NP + Grass Knot = gg Vaporeon.

lol it only does about 60% to Vappy after a plot while I OHKO it with Surf lol

Also I don't have Cleric support so I'm not inclined to use rest without sleep Talk, and I need Cress to set up reflect so pursuit doesn't mean game over.

Grass Knot hits Vappy for base 60 damage, after a Life Orb and Nasty Plot boost i believe it hits for something like 80%ish damage.

Vappy weighing 2 pounds ftw lol

I was thinking about cleric support, but something urged me to go ahead and post that. Bad idea. T.T

But yeah, Toxic on Registeel is just asking for Heracross to come
in. :P

And it's obvious Heracross is going to use Close combat because Registeel resists its other attacks. which means Cressela comes in and takes the hit easily and sets reflect up in its face. also I happen to have the best Heracross counter in the game on my team :/
