RMT Shoddy.Me trying tactics =/Fail?
Okay,i'm, trying not to be an idiot who uses no tactics here.Is this Sandstorm team good or bad?
[email protected] Choice Band Jolly 252atk,252spd,4hp Stone Edge EQ Crunch Pursuit Same moves as CB Ttar,but i like speedy things best as leads.Gone for maxximum damage attacks msotly,with Pursuit as an add-on. Swampert @ Leftovers Careful 240hp,52atk,216def Sleep Talk Earthquake Avalanche Rest Trying out a RestalkSpert.Some of my favourite attacks,plus somthing to make them better at hurting things while healing.Never use Stone Edge on a Swampert,as it has low accuracy,adnb low accuracy non-STAB doesn't make much sense to me. Garchomp @ Yache Berry Jolly 4hp,252atk,252spd Swords Dance Dragon Claw Fire Fang Earthquake Don't actually like Garchomp,but one pokemon i don't like in an entire team in return for a lot more KOs seems a fair trade for me.Gone DC over Outrage as i don't want to be stuck on outrage if a Skarmory switches in.Sand Stream is just the icing on the cake for me. Gengar @ Choice Scarf Timid 252spd,252sp.atk,4hp Focus Blast Shadow Ball HP Ice Thunderbolt ScarfGar Mamoswine @ Choice Band Adamant 54hp,252atk,192spd Ice Shard Earthquake Stone Edge Ice Fang I'm finally realising that speed isn't everything in OU now. Tentacruel @ Leftovers Liquid Ooze Calm 204hp,96sp.atk,172sp.def,36spd Surf Ice Beam Rapid Spin Toxic Spikes I always have trouble covering tihngs on the ground when i use SR. So,is it any good? |
If lucario dies, physical walls are going to laugh in your face all day long. You seriously need to bring in something that can hit special-wise. You also have no walls, just the occasional physical tank. A competant special sweeper will also destroy you. Both the above need changing before we can even touch on movesets.
|
You need walls.
Otherwise MixApe comes in and goes OMG LOL!!! as it runs through your entire team for supereffective damage, pull out Torterra, for a physical wall, if you want to stick with "sandstorm" put in Skarmory, Gliscor, or Hippowdon, as for special walls there's not much that resists SS I'ld recommend a [email protected], lefties cancels ss damage, and blissey's awesome. |
Torterra is no wall, even if he changed his set. More of a tank, as he cannot heal himself well enough. & Mixape will still cause him mysery & woe.
|
Before I rate this, I thought you would like to know tat most SS teams I encounter usually only have 3-4 Pokemon that resist SS, including one Sand Streamer.
Quote:
Tar- Chomp- Terra- Pert- Luke- Mamo Tar and Chomp can stay in there;Tar to lead, Chomp to physical attack. Now we need a phyiscal wall. Luke really doesn;t do as well as a lot of other sp. atackers in the metagame. Let's focus on your main problem, a dire need of sp. attackers and Pokes wh don't die to HP Ice Mixape. All of the good special sweepers do die to mixape in some way or another, so let's choose Heatran for this team. Specs Tran with Fire Blast works fine. Next, you need some walls. In the physical department, Forry and Gliscor are two of the tops. We'll go with standard Gliscor with AA to get Mixape(not sure if it OHKO's or not, but can scare). As for a special wall, Blissey with Lefties can come in. As Beginnings said, Blissey's Lefties will nullify SS damage, and blissey can come in and take a good sp. attk, whihch your old team would practically fail to do. For a final slot, I would put a mixed sweeper to come in and surprise. Mixmence can come in and fill that job. Go Fire Blast/ Draco Meteor/ Brick Break/ Roost. Roost is there to recover SS and LO damage that can hinder Mence. So, your new team is: CB Tar- Yache Chomp- Bliss- Mixmence- SpecsTran- AA Gliscor EDIT: Oops, I just realized something. This team is pretty Machamp weak. Maybe run Skarm as a Physical Wall? |

A sandstorm team doesn't need every Pokemon resistant to it. That's a common mistake these days, however. Consider looking at what I've said, and give us an update whenever you can. |

I'm going to use my old Azelf i had in my last RMT,as nobody seemed to have any problems with it: Azelf @ Leftovers 4hp,252sp.ak,252spd Nasty Plot Flamethrower Psychic Grass Knot Can anyone give me a good set for a walling Tentacruel?All i ifndo n Smogon is offensive sets asnd a support one which doesn't seem bulky enough. |
Torterra is a great pokemon, despite his weaknesses.
However, you do not need it at the moment. Azelf is a fine replacement. |
Tentacruel can't technically "wall". It does have great sp.def, but common weaknesses tear it down. Use the support set.
Keep SpecsLuke because it's awesome, and gives you a defense vs. Weavile, which causes a LOT of problems for you. Azelf, I wouldn't recommend due to it adding to your Weavile weakness. Consider something else that's a special threat that can live against Weavile. Heatran can work, but you have a nasty ground weakness as it is. Scarfed Gengar can revenge kill Weavile, so keep note of that too. It also serves as a ground resist, though not a very good one. I know it's weak to Pursuit, but at least you threaten a swift KO against it. |
Oh yeah, Weavile, my bad.
|
on ttar, you don't need 2 dark moves. replace one of them for another move. on chompy, replace fire fang for fire blast/flamethrower so you don't get wall'd by skarm. on mamoswine, same with ttar. take out one ice move and put another move. and use all of the evs, not just leave out 2.
|
Before you give a rate, make sure you have full understanding of why he might be making certain moves. The two dark moves are pretty essential, because one hits pokemon switching out, and the other move, Crunch is a more reliable move. Samewith Mamo. Ice Shard for quick hitting, IceFang for moar powah.
|
yeah,and also,you can't havem ore than 252of any EV or they're wasted.I ithnk i'll use Thsi Gengar:
Gengar @ Choice Scarf Timid 252spd,252sp.atk,4hp Focus Blast Shadow Ball Psychic Thunderbolt I often use this standard.I will sue support Tenta then.I can see why i got reported a lto to start with whenever i tried rating.I ithnk i helped that guy,Swampertrulz out with his team before i gave up for a month |
Psychic has redundant coverage and it isn't needed. Go with Hidden Power Ice so you can punish dragons.
|
I think your is alright but i dont rly know about the swampert idk what to say about it but just dont know. i mean it will be very hard to get enough curses in to do enough damage because he can get killed by anything with grassknot or energy ball.
|
HP Ice with all of these Yache Berrys are becoming a little predicted. I'd go with Explosion, since you can finish something off which is nice.
|
Well this team definitely lacks the ability to hit from the special side of things. So that's a consideration. Your Tyranitar is just odd. There's no real point in leftovers as there isn't enough Hp investment to warrant it. you're better off going with a choice band as well, seeing as it's jolly, to really make sure you hit hard. Alternatively give him a complete overhaul, nature and ev's included.
If your worried about skarmory switching in on Garchomp, your better off going with fireblast over fire fang. A skarmory if trained properly will just sponge off a fire fang easily and set up on you. There's no absolute need for a whole lot of walls in a team, so long as you can predict well and use your team to wall what you need. Having DDChomp, CBTar and CBSwine seems like a bit overkill and you could always switch one out for something that can be used as a good wall. Some steel types would be welcome as a lot of those provide you with a lot of resistances. that's all i have to say really :) |
Ok,thanks for all the new advice.I'm jsut going to edit my original post form now on.But,i iwll say,i have got HP Ice on Gengar,i forgot to put Choice Band on Ttar yesterday but have rectified that mistake,adn Mexirican,try to read the posts properly,i had Resttalk spert when yo posted,not Cursespert.

I like the additions of Gar and Tenta, becasue it provides you with a little special firepower, and you aren't as Machamp/ Basic Mixape weak as you used to be. |
Hey mate,no ofence,but take this fomr someone its happened to.Shut up before you get reported for spamming.I jsut ouinfd out my Mamoswine can take out a Wobby though

Another thing I noticed is that Rapid Spin may not be entirely neccessary, but u can keep it if u want. However, your team isn't SR weak at all, and only Gar and Tenta take neutral damage from it. Everone else takes less. You could put HP Electric>> it, seeing as DD LO Gyara with Bite can go through everyone besides Pert. |

Anyways, he wasnt spamming. What you posted was more along the line of spam. Anyways, i dont think there was any need to say that, as he was only trying to help tbh =/. |

jesus.YThat's the srto of thing i gto tld i was spaming and got infracted for.Has everyone gone soft once they got me banned or something?Anyway,i'm not to sure about waht to use on Gengar.Anyway,i',m trying out a Jirachi.Woud this one fiyt into my team anywhere?Maybe instead of Tenta?
Jirachi @ Leftovers Bold 252hp,176spd,80def Calm Mind Wish Psychic HP Fighting Maybe doing a howle shifty like this is another option: [email protected] Choice Band Jolly 252atk,252spd,4hp Stone Edge EQ Crunch Pursuit Same moves as CB Ttar,but i like speedy things best as leads.Gone for maxximum damage attacks msotly,with Pursuit as an add-on. Swampert @ Leftovers Careful 240hp,52atk,216def Sleep Talk Earthquake Avalanche Rest Trying out a RestalkSpert.Some of my favourite attacks,plus somthing to make them better at hurting things while healing.Never use Stone Edge on a Swampert,as it has low accuracy,adnb low accuracy non-STAB doesn't make much sense to me. Jirachi @ Leftovers Bold 252hp,176spd,80def Calm Mind Wish Psychic HP Fighting Gengar @ Choice Scarf Timid 252spd,252sp.atk,4hp Focus Blast Shadow Ball HP Ice Thunderbolt ScarfGar Mamoswine @ Choice Band Adamant 54hp,252atk,192spd Ice Shard Earthquake Stone Edge Ice Fang I'm finally realising that speed isn't everything in OU now. Tentacruel @ Leftovers Liquid Ooze Calm 204hp,96sp.atk,172sp.def,36spd Surf Ice Beam Rapid Spin Toxic Spikes I always have trouble covering tihngs on the ground when i use SR. Also,that thing about the Wobby,seing as poweple realised osmetims a Mamo or other ithngs can take oput a Garchomp,does that mean that Wobby shodu be OU?No.He probably was a bad Wobby user,plus it was my last poke as he had used al ubers so most of mine were dead and he was obvioulsy gonnna win unless he had a stroke. PLease could a mod close this?This team isn't going to work for me. |
