Team Anti-Fail
 
So yep, ADAM/SD is here with another RMT. I don't think I've had one up since "Thank Mew, Thank Mew Very Much", but w/e. Keep in mind this is UU, and is a 3-type theme team - Bug, Rock, and Grass.

[email protected] Scarf
Adamant nature
112 HP / 220 Atk / 176 Spe
Technician
Aerial Ace
U-Turn
Reversal
Pursuit

Smogon Scarf Scyther. I'll modify it as I see fit.

[email protected] Sash
Jolly Nature
Swarm
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Swords Dance
X-Scissor
Poison Jab
Baton Pass

Baton Pass in case it's needed, X-Scissor and Poison Jab are absolutely beastly in both UU and OU - If I were running an LO-Adamant set, I would potentially OHKO a Max Defense T-tar. Anyways, this should do well.

[email protected]
Calm Nature
Levitate
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Hidden Power [Rock]
Calm Mind
Psychic
Stealth Rock

SR Lunatone, somewhat bulky.

Relicanth @ Life Orb
Adamant Nature
Rock Head
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Head Smash
Waterfall
Earthquake
Rock Polish

ABSOLUTELY BEASTLY. If I can manage to pass a SD from Beedrill, it's GG.

[email protected] Orb
Jolly Nature
Overgrow
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Seed Bomb
Outrage/Body Slam
Sleep Powder
Earthquake

I find Orb better than Black Sludge. Body Slam is for non-plat servers.

[email protected] Specs
Timid Nature
Levitate
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Thunderbolt
Hidden Power [Ice]
Shadow Ball
Trick

Rather standard, but I would probably want to replace this with another grass type.

Non STAB Outrage sucks. And anyone who got swept by something with the type coverage of Poison Sting obvoiusly sucks.

Timid, not Jolly nature on Rotom.

Oh yeah, and Rock Head doesn't stop LO recoil.

And you mean Careful on Ledian, amIrite?

Y are there 3 Baton Passers on this team? Agili and SD passing isn't needed because you already have your sweepers carrying setup moves. I would reccomend taking Swords Dance off of Suar, so Beedrill's SD pass can be useful, and give it Earthquake there for Coverage. In non-plat, just use Body Slam>>Outrage. CM passing isn't needed on Luna, try giving it another attack move for coverage. You also have a pretty bad Rain Dance weak.

Dark, Rock Head is for Head Smash recoil, since it takes out a lot of health.

I know it blocks Head Smash recoil, thats why its used. I'm pointing it it doesn't block LO recoil...

Team needs a way to beat Ninetales.

I put Jolly? My bad. And I wasn't saying they got swept, I'm saying it does quite well. It needs alot of prediction to do well.
And I know Rock Head doesn't block LO. I don't like choice sets, so I use Life Orb.

Yes, I was thinking of removing SD from saur. I was considering what move to give Lunatone, but I'm not sure yet. And my Rain Dance weak is quite obvious, I've been thinking of adding Scarf Scyther to deal with Rain Dancers.

Yes, it does. Maybe I'll go Cro-Saur.
