Oh gnoes not another RMT! [Platinum]
 
Well, I've been making revisions, but I still think this team lacks something. I haven't had chance to test this yet becuase of school. This will be for both Wi-Fi and Shoddy. Changes from original team are in bold.

http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/bronzong.png
Bronzong @ Lum Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 244 HP/74 Atk/118 Def/74 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Gyro Ball
- Hypnosis
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake

My lead, hopefully countering other hypnosis leads. Also lends some support from SR. EVs allow Gyro Ball to OHKO Gengar.

Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 82 Atk/176 Spd/252 SAtk
Rash nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Brick Break
- Stone Edge

Mixed ScarfMence; this thing is supposed to be my Kingdra counter. I'm not sure if there's not enough speed EVs or too many, but the idea is to bring it in as it DDs, proceeding to outspeed and OHKO it.

Rotom-H @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 Spe
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Overheat
- Discharge
- Will-o-wisp
- Light Screen

Thanks to D_A for this. Scizor and Gyara counter.

Machamp @ Leftovers
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP/144 Atk/108 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dynamicpunch
- Ice Punch
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Tyranitar counter and status absorber. I love Machamp, and he does this job better than almost anything.

http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/snorlax.png
Snorlax @ Choice Band
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 138 Atk/216 Def/156 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

- Crunch
- Body Slam
- Earthquake
- Pursuit

My way of dealing with Oven Rotom. With Thick Fat, it can take Overheats all day, proceeding to hopefully OHKO with pursuit. Again, I haven't run calcs because I'm not sure of the standard set.

http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/deoxyse.png
Deoxys-E @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 152 Atk/100 Spd/252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Superpower
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic

This guy is mostly filler, but I've always loved Deoxys and wanted an excuse to use him; he makes a great late game sweeper in all respects.

Comments in bold.


I kinda dont know what Empoleon accomplishes..Since it doesnt counter Scizor. Super Power on the CB set and Brick Break on the SD set lols at it. I would strongly suggest a Heat Rotom >>it, since it supports your team better. Dual Screens, Will-o-wisp, possibly T-Wave can all be utilized, so thats up to you. You need Overheat and Discharge/T-Bolt though to beat said Scizor and Gyarados. So you have 2 slots pretty much to play with with a Defensive spread (I just use max hp / max def @Bold, since it makes a nice check to Kingdra too as it has to keep subbing to avoid paralysis or a burn, Reflect also nerfs it too). So ill stop babbling now about competitive jargon lol. :12: :t338: [/Horrific Smileys]


Anyways, it looks pretty solid.

Thanks for that, I made the changes. My biggest concern at the mo is the Speed EVs on Mence. I just need enough so it will still outspeed and OHKO after a DD or Rain Dance. And on that note, I added Stone Edge over Outrage on him.

What's Shadow Ball accomplishing on Deoxys-e? Use Thunderbolt >>> It. It does more good for him as a revenge killer.

DarkTyphlosion157 October 8th, 2008 3:09 AM

244 HP on Bronzong for max Leftovers, plus you get slight more in defence.

Can't see what Stone Edge is doing on Mixmence. Outrage back over it, please. 120/212/176 is superior to 80/252/176 btw.

Put the SpAtk into Spd on OvenTom, other than that its fine.

This is all down to personal opinion, but I prefer my RestTalk Machamp to have Guts and Low Kick over Dynamicpunch. Feel freee to disregard this, its purely opinion.

CBLax should be Adamant here, also remove those HP EVs and lob them in SpDef, otherwise Discharges may sting a bit. A few of the Def EVs should go into Attack.

Missing 4 EVs on Deoxys-E, put those in Spd to outpace similar Deoxys-E, and Shadow Ball over Psychic as Psychic's coverage sucks.

Thanks for that, I've implemented a few of those points.
