A triple banana smoothie with a Regigigas on top!
Hello fellow PC members
I made a new team (YAY) Here it is: http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/376.png *How Ironic* (Metagross) @ Leftovers Adamant 204 HP/76 Atk/224 SpD Meteor Mash Bullet Punch Stealth Rock Earthquake I basically *stole* this from ABYAY. Gets rid of those nasty suicide leads. A nice lead. Meteor Mash and Bullet Punch to pwn suicide leads. Stealth Rock (in case you've been hibernating or something for the last month you should know what this is for). http://pkmn.net/sprites/dp/big/145.png *Zeus* (Zapdos) @ Leftovers Bold 252 HP/220 Def/36 Spe Discharge Heat Wave Substitute Roost My tradmark Zapdos. Switch into the ever common Scizor and sub because Scizor is too precious to lose. Puts me in a good condition to take down whatever thay switch in if I can take it on. http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/6/6e/437.png *wtf am I?* (Bronzong) @ Light Clay Relaxed 252 HP/152 Atk/104 Def Reflect Light Screen Earthquake Hypnosis In my latest battles I have seen how ever important Dual Screens are. Sleep stuff I can't take on and switch to a counter. http://pkmn.net/sprites/platinum/242.png *Sexy* (Blissey) @ Leftovers Calm 252 Def/212 SpD/44 SpA Wish Protect Toxic Ice Beam Just like Dual Screens, Wish support has also proved to be essential for a team in my recent battles. Ice Beam for Dragons. http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/3/34/094.png *Undertaker* (Gengar) @ Choice Scarf Timid 252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP Shadow Ball HP [Ice] Thunderbolt Focus Blast Favourite revnge killer Focus Blast for Blissey and Tyranitar http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/6/64/212.png *Don't run with Scissors!* (Scizor) @ Life Orb Adamant 84 HP/252 Atk/172 Spe Swords Dance Bullet Punch Superpower/Brick Break Roost Shame on you guys for using CB Scizor! SD Scizor is awesoem! Bullet Punch is debatedly the best Platinum addition ever! Superpower or Brick Break? You decide. Any harsh criticism appreciated as long as you know what you're doing! Rate Away. |
Ok, it looks pretty solid, but I'll do a full rate later.
One thing that concerns me (it happens to be a threat to most teams) is the problem with CB Tyranitar. Nothing can switch in without taking a huge chunk. Only Gengar (hi Pursuit!) and Scizor can effectively kill it, as Metagross is underpowered without much Atk investment or a CB. 2HKOd (iirc) by Crunch/EQ, so they only have to play around it. With Scizor, it can't really set up on TTar, and is underpowered without a CB. You need a more solid counter to it and DD/MixMence. I guess one other thing I've noticed, is the lack of immediate power on your team. Gengar is the only thing that can effectively strike without setting up to a degree, and the Scarf set is hardly gutsy. This wouldn't be much of a problem if you didn't seem to have any other way of doing damage other than chipping away at the opponent's health. Plus it's pretty sad that you are walled by SkarmBliss. Don't take anything that I say personally, you have a decent team here and obviously know what you are doing, but the team lacks a sense of purpose and direction. An issue that can reduce any team's general success and likability. I'll come back with suggestions on what to do with this. |
Great team layout! EPIC SD, and I agree with Scizor used that way...
I'd rather prefer the movesets of Bronzong to be: [email protected] Trait:Levitate Sassy EV's 252 HP / 86 Atk / 80 Def / 92 SpD Gyro Ball Stealth Rock Hypnosis Earthquake Reflect or Light Screen can be used if you feel your team could use the support. I alays used SW Bronzong, but it's your decision. |

120 HP/ 224 Atk/ 164 Spd Would be better, outspeeds what it needs to and is bulkier, it also allows 10 attacks with Life Orb and survive with 1 HP afterwards. Opt for Superpower, this way you hit Heatran and Magnezone switch ins extremely hard, OHKOing them where as Brick Break will not. |

shaodw, Gengar wants Timid to outspeed DDTAR after two DD's. Also, BOld BLissey is outdated, use Calm.
One main thing I find weird with this team is the speed. The speed is pretty average (albeit ScarfGar), but you still have to watch out for things that outspeed everyone besides Gar and don't get OHKO'ed by Gar, as they can revenge kill pretty much the rest of your team. Minus Gross (who won't be in for so long IMO) and ScarfGar, Mixape scores SE on the rest of your team, and can pretty much destroy them, since Zapdos is more physically defensive. I would also opt for a RestTalk Machamp somewhere on the team to counter your bad CBTar weak. |
I might throw a resttalk machamp or a Swampert here to deal with TTar but over who?
I was considering Wishbliss to be replaced but I am reluctant to give up Wish support |
For the record, Swampert can't really take TTar effectively. CB Crunch is like a 2HKO iirc.
|
It works because it switches into an obvious Stone Edge directed at Zapdos
Plus,with Reflect up it would survive. |
Well, i've never rated a team before, but here goes..
That Zapdos looks pretty nice. I'd also say make the Blissey bold, for that move set. Nice team altogether. |
