I'm constructing some new teams and laddering a bit on Shoddy. This team hits very had and covers a variety of types without bothering to stall or play defensive. Let's see how its turns out okay? http://www.dragonflycave.com/plsprites-frame1/142m.png Aerodactyl Item: Focus Sash Ability: Pressure Nature: Jolly EVs: 4 HP | 252 Attack | 252 Speed Move set:
http://www.dragonflycave.com/plsprites-frame1/248m.png Tyranitar Item: Choice Band Ability: Sand Stream Nature: Adamant EVs: 176 HP | 252 Attack | 252 Speed Move set:
http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/230.png Kingdra Item: Life Orb Ability: Swift Swim Nature: Adamant EVs: 24 HP | 252 Attack | 232 Speed Move set:
http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/94.png Gengar Item: Choice Scarf Ability: Levitate Nature: Modest EVs: 4 HP | 252 Special Attack | 252 Speed Move set:
http://www.dragonflycave.com/plsprites-frame1/392m.png Infernape Item: Life Orb Ability: Blaze Nature: Naive EVs: 64 Attack | 252 Special Attack | 192 Speed Move set:
http://www.dragonflycave.com/plsprites-frame1/448m.png Lucario Item: Life Orb Ability: Inner Focus Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 Attack | 4 Defence | 252 Speed Move set:
CONCLUSION RMT away guys. Thanks and I really like to test this team out so throw me a VM for a battle. Thanks guys. D_A don't touch the title or something bad will happen to your profile *evil laugh* |
Your Tyranitar has way too many EVs.
EDIT: Gengar can't afford to miss, so Focus Blast needs to be replaced by Trick or Destiny Bond. Modest is okay but you'll be outrun by other Scarf Gengar which almost always run Timid. Having 3 Pokemon on a sand storm team that'll take damage in sand storm is a very risky strategy, especially since none of them can recover health or change the weather. This can be solved if you use a Rain Dance set on Kingdra. |
95.85% - 112.80% <--- CB Tar's Sone Edge does this to your Scizor and it can also come in Gengar easily on anything bar focus blast, then your revenge killer against stuff like Gyara, Mence etc loses and you are then basically owned by the aformentioned pokes.
Which means each time tar comes in (your own tar locked into a dark move, gengar locked in anything bar f-blast) you HAVE to sacrifice a poke to be able to revenge it. I know thats kinda situational, but still it stands out. You could add a Rock resist here i feel, i mean what harm would SD Lucario > Scizor do ? Something to consider. Which brings me to my next rant, Scarf Gar. Its awful in platinum, Pursuit weak, free switch in for Scizor/Meta/Jirachi, "I lose to literally the top 20 pokemon" lol, but sure by all means use it >.< |
Why do you have sniper on Kingdra?
Everything else is pretty standard but I'd use a different revenge killer over Gengar. |
Maybe Scarfed Luke could go over Scarfgar? It might do some helping with the Rock weakness...

If you don't even have Ice Punch to kill Salamence, Flygon and Gliscor (the only reason to EVER use Jolly), then SDLuke is better off Adamant.

I considered Ice Punch but Crunch helps a great deal against Dusknoir, Gengar and Cresseila. Close Combat is out of the question =D and Extremespeed is useful but I'll consider it =p
