RMT: Platinum OU
Finally found a team that's been bringing me some degree of success. The lineup:
http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/azelf.png Azelf @ Focus Sash Naive 4 ATK/252 SPATK/252 SPD Stealth Rock Fire Blast Psychic Explosion The standard Suicide Lead. Sets up stealth rock, deals some hits when I need it to, and when I don't need him anymore, BOOM! http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/heatran.png Heatran @ Leftovers Modest 248 HP/56 SPATK/204 SPDEF Lava Plume Earth Power Rest Sleep Talk A great tank, a great status absorber, and a decent attacker--Heatran's the man. Besides taking hits and status for my team, he's also my check against Scizor and switch-in against Bronzong. http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/machamp.png Machamp @ Choice Band Guts 128 HP/252 ATK/128 SPD Payback Thunderpunch Ice Punch Close Combat http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/gengar.png Gengar @ Choice Scarf Timid 4 HP/252 SPATK/252 SPD Hidden Power [Ice] Thunderbolt Shadow Ball Focus Blast My main revenge killer; the amount of standard threats he can kill is just staggering. He can outspeed DDTar even after 2 Dragon Dances, and Mence and Gyara after one. http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/infernape.png Infernape @ Life Orb Naive 24 ATK/252 SPATK/232 SPD Close Combat Nasty Plot Grass Knot Flamethrower Mixed sweeper, wall breaker, standard NP Mixape... He eliminates the big walls that stand in the way of one last Pokemon I'll send in, at the end of the battle... http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/gyarados.png Gyarados @ Life Orb Adamant 252 ATK/4 DEF/252 SPD Dragon Dance Ice Fang Stone Edge Waterfall And every single damn thing the rest of my team does is just so Gyara can sweep whatever's left. Gyara's an absolute beast. Anyways, 252 SPD is to outspeed Skymin after a Dragon Dance, and the 4 DEF is so Stealth Rock/Sandstorm damage round down. rateplz. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated (provided you know what you're talking about). |
Maybe change Focus Blast on Gengar for Trick, Destiny Bond or Explosion. FB isnt the most reliable of attacks, especially when you're locked into it.
Earthquake over Ice Fang would give Gyarados considerably more power and coverage. Otherwise great team, well done. |

Either way, thanks for the suggestions. |

I don't see the point of Superpower on Mamoswine besides doing more to Bronzong, and really even if it does it's still not as valuable as something like Ice Fang, which is necessary for beating Celebi and Hippowdon (and a more reliable shot at hurting Zapdos given Stone Edge's poor accuracy and PP). Even Blizzard would be preferable to beat Hippowdon and Skarmory. I don't see the merit in Superpower since it's really only useful for one pokemon, and it isn't even going to 2HKO it.

You had better hope Gengar's Focus Blast hits, or else DDTar > this team. With a Life Orb, it OHKOs every single thing on this team (Mamo is OHKO'd by a +1 Stone Edge with Life Orb, and without LO, it has a 67% chance to die on an SR switch-in. I should also mention it outpaces everything else on your team after a DD as well. Luckily for you, it can't find a lot to set up on except for Ice Shard from Mamo.
So yeah...just watch out for it. That's all I see for a weakness though. |
Heatran isn't a brillinat Scizor check, many do run Superpower, add to the fact not much else is useful against it and meh.
Superpower on Mamoswine is overrated to be honest, Ice Fang or another Ice attack would be better to be honest. Don't see a Gyarados counter in this team. Revenge killer, sure, but counter, no. Oh yeah, and Taunt leads aren't as useful now that DeoxysS was tossed back in ubers. Those idiots at Smogon can never make their minds up. |

and even if he takes a fall to Gyara, ScarfGengar is made to come in and Revenge his ass with a speed that out paces +2 reguardless. |
Tyranitar @ CB
- Stone Edge >> you Thats it..it doesnt even NEED the rest of its moveslots. The usefulness of Mamoswine is questionable this metagame since so much stuff eats it and Gengar already revenge dragons and skymin. Additionally Mamo is a really bad Zappy counter since Heat Wave rips it a new one. So something like..well CB Lucario or CB Machamp would be so much more useful >> Swine serving as a Tar check. For your zappy problem, something like Expert Belt (Ice Beam/Stone Edge/Fire Blast/Crunch) Mixtar >> Mixape possibly ? Or you could use*Gasp*vire aaaaa. |
Alright. Given you guys's advice, I've...
replaced CBMamo with CBMachamp What's the EV spread for MixTar, D_A? |
Quote:
Although i run 216 att / 96 sp.att / 196 speed @ Naughty/Lonely for a faster spread, so its up to you... |
Okay, so I've made my edits, and the team's better than ever. Lock please; I don't need this RMT anymore.
