WiFi Team, Take 2.
Well, after losses to the same type of threats, I'm again in need of some help on revamping my WiFi team.
The Overview... http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani485.gifhttp://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani068.gifhttp://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani373.gifhttp://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani242.gifhttp://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani094.gifhttp://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani260.gif In-Depth... http://arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/heatran.png Dr. Tran (Heatran) @ Choice Scarf Mild EV's: 40 HP, 252 Special Attack, 216 Speed -Fire Blast -Dragon Pulse -Stealth Rock -Earth Power Switched it around to lead Scarftran. This way Aero doesn't lul at me. :# http://arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/machamp.png Octagonapus (Machamp) @ Leftovers No Guard Adamant EV's: 252 HP, 36 Attack, 216 Defense, 4 Speed -Rest -Sleep Talk -Dynamicpunch -Stone Edge Machamp deals with two things that pose a major problem to this team: Status and Tyranitar. It absorbs any status and talks its mouth off, smacking up stuff with Dynamicpunch and Stone Edge. http://arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/salamence.png Xion (Salamence) @ Life Orb Rash EV's: 80 Attack, 252 Special Attack, 176 Speed -Brick Break -Draco Meteor -Flamethrower -Roost Since I'm having trouble breaking walls, I chose Salamence to fill Gliscor's spot. It can switch in on common weaknesses on my team (Fighting and Ground) with impunity, and strike back with any of its three moves. The three moves offer unresisted coverage and hits many common threats hard. D_A has helped me rework the EV's to get ahead of Lucario and net a KO with either Brick Break or Life Orb. Roost to lol @ the Blissey who think Life Orb recoil is going to kill me before Softboiled runs out of PP. http://arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/blissey.png Scrambler (Blissey) @ Leftovers Natural Cure Calm Nature EV's: 252 Defense, 176 Special Defense, 80 Special Attack -Softboiled -Seismic Toss -Thunder Wave -Aromatherapy / Ice Beam There's only one word for this: it's Bliss. What else does it do but soak special hits like a champ. Now that I have Machamp, I'm unsure of whether or not to keep Aromatherapy. Plus, it means I don't have to go through painstaking lengths to get Aroma Bliss and re-EV train. http://arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/gengar.png Boo (Gengar) @ Choice Scarf Timid EV's: 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 4 HP -Shadow Ball -Focus Blast -Thunderbolt -HP Ice (65 BP) Revenge killer. I might switch this for Specstran because this thing barely ever revenges anything without horribly dying to something. http://arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/swampert.png Radar (Swampert) @ Choice Band Adamant EV's: 252 HP, 252 Attack, 4 Defense -Ice Punch -Waterfall -Earthquake -Stone Edge CBPert, an underrated force, for sure. Switched it out of the lead spot due to a suggestion. EDITED: Swampert >> Yanmega; Salamence >> Gliscor; Heatran >> Azumarill. EDITED 2: Machamp >> Tyranitar EDITED 3: Switched the positions of team, making Heatran my lead. Went Scarf >> Specs / SR >> Explosion. Also went Ice Punch >> SR on Pert. Let me know what you think. |
Yanmega is the most replacable thing here imo (its WAY too easilly walled, even by sweepers), which you could put a fighter >>it for your problem(see Agililuke because that OWNS most walls and is a good late game sweeper), heck you might aswell CB that tar and use Pursuit to lol at special walls and lead with it, because it is a great lead.
If you're that worried about cursers unchoice Azumarril and put Encore in a slot too >>> super power imo or some sort of sub/f-punch/encore/waterfall set works wonders, which destroys them, also helps with the cune weak o_o. Having used Encore Azumarril i can honestly say its one of the best pokemn for the job due to its bulk and is very reliable. Id use support gliscor too if just for SR. Lack of status absorber is kinda ehh..Aromatheraphy bliss could solve this problem to an extent. |
Yanmega is somewhat flawed. I'm no expert, but if my Pokemon was asleep, I wouldn't just keep it in there until it faints. I'd probably switch to my ever common cleric Blissey and Aromatherapy the status away.
In short, I'd recommend you think of something else for Yanmega. |
Change Yanmega To Specstran??
as Sepctran can take hits and kicks butt with HP ice which ur not using lol or u can use dragon pulse/heat wave or flametrower/superpower |

read this please ^ thanks |
Considering the following:
Swampert @ Choice Band Adamant 252 HP, 252 Attack, 4 Defense -Stealth Rock -Waterfall -Earthquake -Stone Edge / Ice Punch >> Yanmega; Heatran @ Choice Specs Hasty / Mild 40 HP, 252 Special Attack, 216 Speed -Fire Blast / Overheat -Earth Power -Dragon Pulse -Explosion >> Azumarill, and; Salamence @ Life Orb Rash 120 Attack, 252 Special Attack, 136 Speed -Brick Break -Draco Meteor -Flamethrower -Roost / Crunch OR Salamence @ Leftovers Bold 216 HP, 252 Defense, 40 Speed -Roost -Wish -Draco Meteor -Flamethrower >> Gliscor. Thoughts on the choices? |
I don't know why SR is on CB Swampert at all. This isn't one of those weak, cute little Choice Scarfers that can't do any damage so they might as well set up Stealth Rock anyways. No...Swampert CAN hurt things and it needs all four moveslots to do that most effectively. Besides, it's rendered useless by Taunt (which is very common), and now you're stuck into a CBed SR while you're Taunted.
What you are right on, however, is your weakness to special walls. Nothing can switch into standard Blissey bar Swampert (which runs the risk of getting smacked with Toxic). I would invest inb Resttalk Machamp to take status, reliably beat special walls, and also cover up your Tyranitar weakness. I'd use it over TTar itself since its SS kind of hurts you more than it helps. |
That makes sense. I hardly use TTar anyways.
Machamp @ Leftovers No Guard Adamant 252 HP, 252 Attack, 4 Speed -Rest -Sleep Talk -Dynamicpunch -Stone Edge ...? |
252 HP / 36 Atk / 216 Def / 4 Spd
without Defense it's going to get killed really fast. |
i dont get why u have special attack evs on blissey when it has no special attacks
i suggest u put them on one of the defenses or hp |
if you use yamega u have to add a rapid spinner because of roaring pokemon and usually runs protect first perfect change to roar it everyone expects it

If you want both Stone Edge and Ice Punch on Swampert get rid of Stealth Rock and put that on Heatran =p. |
Thanks, Anti.
I might go back to Ice Beam now that I have two pokes that can absorb status, pokemew. But I should have noticed that, lulz. XD The idea with this team is to lead with my SR setup Pokemon. When I lead with Heatran, I put myself at risk for getting severely screwed over by Aerodactyl's Earthquake. Meanwhile, few things can really put a dent in CBPert, so I should be fine with the set I have, Lala. |

Isn't Explosion on Heatran a bit pointless if it has Specs?

It generally works far better on the Scarf Sets, though as you can explode without being KO'd first. It really depends on the rest of your team, and whether it is usually walled by the sort of stuff you will take out. To be honest, it can just take out threats where you know you can't OHKO, so you may as well take them out before they live and KO you.
One thing to be careful of, is the predictability of it. If you switch Heatran in on Blissey, the opponent will see it coming and switch to a Ghost/Bulky Steel. So scout for potential Normal Resists/Immunities if you get the chance. Don, there's nothing wrong with CBPert, but don't run SR on it. |

I agree with this, id just shove it on tran in all honesty.. |

One thing I've noticed is the lack of setup moves. It's hard to sweep with just Choice Users and a single Life Orber. If you don't mind, you could run CM Mismagius or NP Azelf over Gengar. Then Scarf Heatran. |
ok.
Ice Punch >> SR on Pert, and SR >> Explosion on Tran, and swapping their positions in the team. Keep suggesting ideas, please. Thank you :) |
