But it's not on the team... =/

Introduction:
__________

Yeah, another sweeper team. This has done extremely well for me recently, only losses coming from major hax. *Yes, I'm talking about you Vance* It's rather old in theory, but I don't get tired of using it.

Over-View:
__________




The Team:
__________


[email protected] Clay
Timid
252 HP, 4 Def, 252 Spd

Taunt
Stealth Rock
Recover
Reflect

A perfect lead for the team. Reflect means Deoxys is only 3-4HKO'd by Bronzong's Gyro Ball iirc. Taunt stops the likes of Bronzong and Swampert from setting up rocks, but also halts Gengar and Roserade from sleeping me. Recover lets me keep D-S around longer and lets me keep using Reflect. SR is self-explanitory.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


[email protected] Scarf
Rash
36 Atk, 252 Sp. Atk, 220 Spd

U-Turn
Overheat
Close Combat
Hidden Power Ice

This has saved my hide so many times I can't count them on my fingers... Overheat over Fire Blast so I can OHKO Gengar 100% of the time. U-Turn lets me scout Infernape counters and also gives me the upper hand, seeing an opponents pokemon if they choose to switch. This usually comes in after another pokemon has been defeated, or on an expected switch. HP Ice means I can revenge kill Dragons like Garchomp and Salamence.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


[email protected] Band
Adamant
252 Atk, 4 Def, 252 Sp. Def
Thick Fat

Body Slam
Earthquake
Crunch
Selfdestruct

Bulky Sweeper extroadonair! This completely walls Scarftran, who is probably the second most problematic pokemon to sweeper teams after Deoxys. Selfdestruct is lovely for switching into walls I can't counter, or if a Suicune has 2 or so Calm Mind's under it's belt.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


[email protected] Orb
Timid
4 HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Spd

Hypnosis
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast

Standard Life Orb Gengar. Provides my fighting resists and switches in on the oh so predictable Azelf explosions.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


[email protected] Berry
Adamant
4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spd

Swords Dance
Outrage
Earthquake
Fire Fang

OMG, UBARCHOMP. RUNN! Nuff said...

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


[email protected]
Bold
252 HP, 120 Def, 136 Sp. Atk

Calm Mind
Surf
Hidden Power Electric
Ice Beam

Attacking Suicune. Another bulkyish sweeper than can switch in well. After this sets up it's pretty much over. It's lovely to see people send in Vappy after 2 CM's and I KO them with HP Elec. =)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

So there's the team. As I said, only losses have come from rather large amounts of hax *ONCE AGAIN STARES AT VANCE*

~T_S

Ok, does anyone wanna give me a rate? D_A? Aquilae? Anti? ANYONE? =/

*gasp* Bumping, were we?

Ok, looks a bit Deoxys weak, um that's about all I can see.
You could always try a Sub/Hypnosis/FB/SB Gengar, but that's just an Idea.

You really need to give people ideas of problems to fix when a team is this well-built.

Azumarill is essentially a better Bibarel and that's BL be w/e...

Don't really see the point of Adamant Garchomp. Garchomp is just revenge kill bait for more pokemon, and +Spd Lucario is going to beat you >_> You might as well use Jolly.

Otherwise, it's your standard cookie cutter offensive team. Not much to say to be honest.

As Anti said, Jolly Chomp is the preferable nature, and I like Cosmic Power on Deoxys-e, but maybe that's just me.

I regret nothing.

Onto the team now. It's pretty solid from most of the threats, however, you really have no way to beat Deoxys-e in late game. Garchomp is your best (and only) bet to absorb the Ice Beam and hopefully OHKO with Outrage. Unless, of course, Scarf Infernape outspeeds D-E and I'm making an utter fool of myself by not realizing that >.>

You could bring Snorlax in with Reflect up, and threaten to Pursuit, however, that is very situational.

Otherwise, it's a great team, but Bibarel sucks.

Thought this would help.

I should also mention that Chomp is now banned from OU on Smogon, so you may need to make changes.
