Just a little something me and Brawlex (my ex-tutor) slapped up in about ten minutes. This team is an all-choice team, meaning all the pokemon in it have either Choice Scarf, Choice Band or Choice Specs.

Team at a glance:



Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 72 Atk/252 Spd/184 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Fire Blast
- Ice Beam

ScarfTyranitar outspeeds many common offensive leads and deals a quick KO. Examples of these are Salamence and Gengar. Also makes a half-decent revenge killer to Garchomp, which is why the 184 SpA EVs are invested, to OHKO minimum HP Garchomp.


Heracross (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Guts
EVs: 100 HP/252 Atk/156 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Megahorn
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Sleep Talk

Choice Band Heracross. This acts as a hard-hitter in general as well as providing a status absorber for my team. This is the best pokemon I could fit Sleep Talk on - despite the limitations of Choice Band Sleep Talk which only can be used once, Guts provide a 1.5x boost to Heracross' already enormous attack.


Gliscor (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Roost / U-turn

Bet you weren't expecting this. CBGliscor isn't really a potent offensive threat but gives my team much-needed physical walling against the likes of Heracross and Lucario, and Choice Band actually allows it to down some stuff.
I'm not sure which attack to go with, since I find myself not passing Wish much with Vaporeon I prefer Roost for instant recovery, as Heracross and Lucario could easily wear Gliscor down otherwise. U-turn helps scout for switches in general.


Vaporeon (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 200 HP/204 Def/4 Spd/100 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Wish

Hey, this has base 110 SpA =D

Choice Specs Vaporeon counters Mixape and Gyarados as well as posing an unprecedented offensive threat to the opposition. Surf 2HKOs the majority of pokemon which do not resist it and are not Special Defensively oriented, such as Swampert and Machamp. Ice Beam and HP Electric are there for coverage.


Metagross @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 28 HP/252 Atk/228 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Ice Punch
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Explosion

I think I prepare too much for Garchomp....

Anyway Metagross acts as another insurance against Garchomp and serves as a counter for Deoxys-E. Scarf is also for the surprise factor like Tyranitar, revenge-killing many unsuspecting opponents.

Scarf Explosion is too cool to give up B)


Gyarados (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 72 HP/252 Atk/184 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Stone Edge

Choice Band Gyarados posesses great offensive power in addition to retaining its Bulky nature with Intimidate. Choice Banded Earthquake does a lot to Starmie and Vaporeon (potentially 2HKOing Starmie but Starmie is faster, Vaporeon is not 2HKOed unfortunately), which allows me to garner a free turn from Thunderbolt/HP Electric or Recover.

Soo.. Rate Away.

Someone's really trying to corner garchomp. :P

All choice! o_o
I really don't know what to say. Pretty solid team, but you are limiting your pokemon to one move. =/, I guess you can switch in between to counter other threats.

weaknesses: I can only think of zapdos, running through 3/6 of your team. Gliscor, vappy and dos.

EDIT: I forgot they all had to be choice, I withdrew some sentences. XD

I mean, yeah, there are obvious weaks, but that's like using an all grass team and expecting it to take you very far. For a gimmicky team, this is pretty well thought out.
