Quickie OU RMT (Eat your heart out D_A)
 
Just a quickie I came up with...

Not for Platinum metagame.


GAYrados (Gyarados) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP/6 Atk/252 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Thunder Wave
- Substitute
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang

My lead GAYrados. IDK why but I really like this special wall set. Sub up to switch ins and T waves whatever possible for Gross or Pert to come in and wreak havoc.

EwwwGross (Metagross) @ Muscle Band
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Meteor Mash
- Thunderpunch
- Explosion
- Stealth Rock

Hard Hitting Metagross. Sets up Stealth Rock when switch ins come in. Loves it when opponets has been paralyzed. >:3

---
Neochanna (Swampert) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/248 Def/10 SAtk
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake

Much like Metagross. Bulky and can take out GAYrados that try to DD it or taunt it first. HP electric will do more than half even on a bulky GAYrados. Hydro Pump to hit pure def walls hard such as Skarmory or DONPHANS!!!!!! (xD)

---
Xochipilli (Yanmega) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Tinted Lens
EVs: 6 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Bug Buzz<--- I first wrote bug bite xD
- Air Slash
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Hypnosis

Scarf Sp.Attacker. Hits VERY HARD because of its Tinted Lens ability. Pretty fast Hypnosis as well.

---
Tloque (Lucario) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 6 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Close Combat
- Flash Cannon
- Dark Pulse
- Blaze Kick

Mix Lucaro. I cant explain anymore...

---
Cumbia (Weavile) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/6 SDef
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Pursuit
- Ice Shard
- Ice Punch
- Night Slash

Lets Dance! Not sure what I am trying to do with this. Pick off weak opponets, pursuit starmies and gengars to their grave. Not much else really.


---

Yea I know it needs alot of work. I dont have any real status Absorbers so any suggestions?

Dark Azelf November 4th, 2008 10:26 AM

I think you mean bug buzz not bite =p


Not liking the lucario... id use

[email protected] orb
80 Atk / 240 SpA / 188 Speed
Trait : Inner Focus
- Close Combat
- Shadow Ball
- HP ice
- Agility

This gives you something to sweep later game and you still break walls.



Id lead with yanmega too.

And you COULD make gyarados a sleep absorber..with rest talk...


Il come back for a better rate later.


Why do people continuously abuse me in their thread titles >;o lol

Brick Break > Ice punch on weavile for better type coverage. It makes it a much more useful revenge killer, and you already have ice shard for a strong ice priority.

Muscle band is kinda meh on gross, I'd slap a life orb on him or go with a choice band set.

If I see anything I'll come back =P

Besides the god-awful nicknames, the team is okay. I'm not liking that Lucario, in fact I hate it =/ Blaze Kick is only useful for Forretress and Scizor, both of whom won't be OHKO'd by it. Your Lucario is walled by Skarmory with ease. Blaze Kick doesn't come close to an OHKO, and Close Combat fails to 2HKO whiles Skarmory Roosts.

Get rid of that and use AgiliLuke.

I'd use Choice Band on that Weavile, since it nets more kills with Pursuit. But it's all up to you. No Brick Break means that Tyranitar walls you, and can set up in your face. +1 DD Tyranitar can sweep your whole team, as that Swampert won't come close to OHKOing TTar with EQ. Gyarados and Yanmega are ripped to bits by Stone Edge, and Meta falls to EQ.

Eh.. I'm not the best at rating teams, but I CAN note a few great points.

GAYrados (Gyarados) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP/6 Atk/252 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Thunder Wave
- Substitute
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang


To be honest, this set is actually quite bad =/ I can see CroCune/RestTalkCune coming in and using this thing as set up fodder.... You're also not going to be hurting much with no Atk investment, +Sp. Def nature and also Water + Ice is a horrid offensive combination as any Water type can swith in and lol at your face. Needs any of the following: Atk EVs, LO, CB, +Atk nature etc... On a side note, completly screwed by Swampert.

EwwwGross (Metagross) @ Muscle Band
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Meteor Mash
- Thunderpunch
- Explosion
- Stealth Rock


As someone pointed out, Muscle Band is a pretty useless item as a 1.1x boost isn't really going to be making a difference so change that to a CB, Leftovers, LO, whatever.... By the way, you're missing 6 EV points. Also it helps to invest 12 Spd in Metagross to outspeed and revenge kill enemy Magnezones which are designed to outspeed standard Skarms. If you feel ike it, you can completly drop SR on Gross for Bullet Punch and make this a CB set. SR can go on Pert over Ice Beam.

Neochanna (Swampert) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/248 Def/10 SAtk
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake


If you really want to take out enemy Gyaras, use Stone Edge > HP (Elec) and run some Atk EVs to ensure you 2HKO even the bulkiest of versions with Intimidate factored in as HP (Elec) isn't doing much outside of that, so really.. it's a wasted moveslot in my opinion. Also, IIRC, Pert needs more than 10 Sp. Atk EVs to 2HKO enemy Skarms with Hydro Pump, so run calcs and invest some in Sp. Atk thanks (don't forgot to factor in Skarms Leftovers). Pretty much standard, but I'm really not loving the idea of Ice Beam on this guy as it isn't going to be OHKOing anything with it, if it's purely just for Mence then don't forget Stone Edge 2HKOs him as well.

Xochipilli (Yanmega) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Tinted Lens
EVs: 6 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Bug Buzz
- Air Slash
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Hypnosis


Fine, will probably scrap this out later.

Tloque (Lucario) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 6 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Close Combat
- Flash Cannon
- Dark Pulse
- Blaze Kick


No thanks at Flash Cannon, why you may ask? Fighting covers everything Steel does, so even Aura Sphere can go in place of that. No thanks at Blaze Kick thanks, why you may ask? Fighting covers everything Fire does except for Bug and Grass, sooo... to make sure you still get rid of those Grass types, HP (Ice) can go in place of that. That leaves your last moveslot as filler really. Also, I'm not too hot with the idea of people mentioning AgiliLuke, why they may ask? Yes, even though Lucario does have a nice set of attacking combinations, I can't see it's lack-luster Base 110 Atk/115 Sp. Atk killing much off without priority, a CM/SD boost or even Specs or Band. Not to mention Agilty can become quite situational to pull off and it's a wasted moveslot really if something forces Luke to switch it out.

Cumbia (Weavile) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/6 SDef
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Pursuit
- Ice Shard
- Ice Punch
- Night Slash


Yeah... I'm gonna have to agree with the others on this one, Needs a CB over Life Orb to actually net you those Pursuit kills, Brick Break needs to find a spot on there over one of the Ice attacks, I'd get rid of Ice Punch if I were you so you have a reliable way of dealing with ScarfSkymin which I can see finishing off your entire team.

The Platinum metagae will creep up at one time... The D/P metagame has been infested with Platinum, you will hardly ever get a battler with no Platinum moves. Good Luck finding one.;)




GAYrados...haha
