What is this Trickery?
 
Tidus (Gardevoir) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 HP/212 Def/46 SDef
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Wish
- Trick Room

Surprisingly a sturdy Trick Room Starter. I don't use Wish at all, so I'm open for suggestions.

Solid Snake (Omastar) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Shell Armor
EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/6 SDef
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Surf
- Hidden Power [Rock]
- Ice Beam
- Stealth Rock

Beastly if those damned Blissey, Snorlax, and Cresselia are gone. It's move pool sucks, but these moves hit really hard.

Samus (Tangrowth) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Leaf Guard
EVs: 252 HP/6 Atk/252 Def
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Power Whip
- Knock Off
- Leech Seed
- Sleep Powder

Still one of my favorite Physical Walls along with Gliscor. Annoying with Trick Room up as it gets those annoying moves before the opponent goes.

Sonic (Snorlax) (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/6 SDef
Brave nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Return
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Pursuit

With Trick Room up, this thing murders everything. Annoyed by Skarmory, but who uses walls in this metagame.

Mario (Camerupt) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/6 SAtk
Brave nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Explosion
- Will-o-wisp

Everyone's favorite camel. Absorbs Will o Wisps aimed at Snorlax and is good at getting that huge kill with Explosion.

Duke Nukem (Raikou) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 78 HP/252 Spd/180 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Calm Mind
- Substitute

If everything works out according to plan, all fast sweepers and Blissey should be out of the picture. With Trick Room gone, this baby comes in for the sweep.


Ignore the stupid nicknames. I was bored.

Lol, did I battle you earlier on the Smogon server? Cause I fought that same team :P

Well, it's a good team overall, however you seem to have a big SD Weavile problem.

Yeah, I faced this team earlier, and you seemed to have some trouble with CB Meta if it got the attack boost. With TR up, then Camerupt beats it, but you could opt for Will-O-Wisp on Garde over Wish that you're probably going to give it up.

I'm going to say you'll need something else with Trick Room on this team to help assist it, seeing as Gardevoir can get shot in the beginning of the match by a Pursuit.
