Brock Obama approves of this team. [NU RMT]

Solrock@ Focus Sash
4 HP/252 Att/ 252 Spe
Adamant, Levitate
-Stealth Rock
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Explosion

A simple, yet effective set. Solrock's Stone Edge deals with Persian, and if the Occasional Ampharos shows up, an Earthquake makes sure it can't do anything else. Stealth rock supports Castform really well, so setting it up is a big priority.


Venamoth@ Choice Specs
252 SpeA/252 Spe/ 4 SpeD
Modest, Tinted Lense
-Bug Buzz
-Energy Ball
-Psychic
-Hidden Power Ground

Venamoth is...Better then Illumise lol. He really helps my fighting Weakness, and he has pretty good coverage, and good damage outputs.


Castform@ Choice Specs
80 Def/ 176 Spe/ 252 SpeA
Modest, Forecast
-Thunderbolt
-Flamethrower
-Ice Beam
-Energy Ball

Can you say coverage? Mantine dies my thunderbolt, Flamethrower eliminates the many Grass Statusers of NU, and Ice beam demolishes Jumpluff again, and the occasional Pidgeot. Only problem is that this and Illumise are very similar. (Although I HAVE KO'd Scizors and Salamances in OU with this set lol)


Relicanth@ Life Orb
4 HP/252 Att/252 Spe
Adamant, Rock Head
-Rock Polish
-Head Smash
-Earthquake
-Waterfall

After a RP, Relicanth reaches a good Speed that it can use to demolish everything. Head Smash is perfect on him, while the other two slots can cover things like Typhlosion, Golem, and Rapidash with ease.


Vileplume@ Big Root
252 HP, 116 Def, 80 SpA, 60 SpeD
Modest, Clorophyll
-Leech Seed
-Substitute
-Sludge Bomb
-Body Slam

My only problem with this set is the rock types that resist all my attacks.


Electrode@Life Orb
4 Att/ 252 Spe/ 252 SpeA
Hasty, Soundproof
-Explosion
-Hidden Power Water
-Taunt
-Thunderbolt

Electrode is my mixed Sweeper, having Good coverage with it's two special move, Taunt to stop Calm Minders/Sword Dancers/Rock Polishers, and when it's done sweeping, it blows up as it's last stand.

PROBLEMS FOR THIS TEAM:

-Fighting Weakness is HUGE
-Relies too much on Castform taking out certain Walls with it's coverage.
-Solrock has a hard time wi th someTaunt Leads.
-Relicanth dies hard to Grass attacks.
-Bellossom can't do anything to hit steels

Black means I have no problem with this pokemon
Orange means I have a moderate problem with this pokemon
Red means I have a major problem with this pokemon.


Ampharos: I might have to sacrifice a pokemon so that Relicanth can get a free switch in and use Earthquake.

Well you are very weak to alot of nu threats. Skuntank, Magmortar, Manectric, Magneton, Medicham, Primape, Espeon, Gardevoir, Sharpedo, Miltank to name a few. Basically metagame weak.

Put Vileplume >>>>> Bellossom to solve that ridiculous fighting weakness.

Also Venomoth outclasses Illumise totally and has a nice 4x fighting resist and the ever awesome Sleep Powder.

Linoone needs ALOT of support. Dual Screens, Memento etc all of which you lack so id prolly replace that with something more constructive.

You also lack good priority and fast things, this is massive in NU battles because it keeps the powerful threats in check.

Ok, changes in Bold. I'm doing a little better in testing now too.
