Defensive Team
I give credit to Anti-Pop for helping me make this team. However, I'm still not certain if it's good enough to go for.
Swampert @ Leftovers; Torrent Relaxed; 240 HP, 216 Defense, 52 Special Attack Hydro Pump Earthquake Ice Beam Roar Registeel @ Leftovers; Clear Body Relaxed; 252 HP, 56 Defense, 200 Special Defense Hammer Arm Explosion Stealth Rock Toxic Articuno @ Leftovers; Pressure Calm; 252 HP, 96 Defense, 160 Special Defense Ice Beam Roost Reflect Heal Bell Salamence @ Choice Band; Intimidate Adamant; 4 HP, 252 Attack, 252 Speed Dragon Claw Earthquake Flamethrower Stone Edge Tentacruel @ Leftovers; Liquid Ooze Calm; 204 HP, 172 Special Defense, 96 Special Attack, 36 Speed Surf Ice Beam Rapid Spin Toxic Spikes Gliscor @ Leftovers; Sand Veil Impish; 252 HP, 4 Attack, 252 Defense Earthquake Aerial Ace Knock Off Roost |

It's actually pretty solid. Swampert is a bit annoying though. |
Thanks, Anti-Pop! I was hoping you'd post here.
All fixes made. |
Just so you know Smogon's Articuno EVs aren't really that good. It needs special defense...
Watch out for subseeders and crap. |

Just use 252 HP / 96 Def / 160 SDef with Calm. Articuno doesn't even need SAtk.
|
All right, done. Thanks, Anti-Pop!
|
SD Weavile is a pest, but I suppose Registeel can take Brick Break and fire back Hammer Arm.
|
I hope so. What would you recommend if not?
|
Well that's going to have to do, just pray Brick Break doesn't score a critical hit...or that it doesn't have a Focus Sash (though Articuno can finish it)
|
All right.
Any other comments? |
If 'Vire gets a Motor Drive in and Swampy dies, then your only hope will be for Registeel to blow up, and blowing up isn't something that your Registeel, who provides plenty of support, is gonna wanna do.

No Yache Berry on Gliscor, it needs Leftovers recovery.
Swampert is a good enough counter for Vire, and if it has HP Grass it probably lacks Ice Punch which means Gliscor can take it. |
Oh. Okay then.
Anything else? |
To reply to Anti-Pop....

And BTW, just because a team has ONE Pokemon that doesn't die instantly to a threat doesn't make that team GOOD against it. |
I think Anti-Pop's point was that either Swampert or Gliscor can handle Electivire, depending on whether it has Hidden Power or Ice Punch. So, if Electivire has Ice Punch, I counter with Swampert. If Electivire has Hidden Power, I counter with Gliscor. Most likely, Electivire won't have both.

And if a 'Vire has HP Grass, then that means it's Special orientated, and Gliscor dies to Special moves anyway. |

It's a good team, but the problem is 4 out of the 6 have double weaknesses.
|
Quote:
This is a switch-happy game, so don't think that those double weaknesses will be a problem. |

|
Yeah.
Any other comments from anyone? |
