Not a joke title this time, seriously has a bad Raikou weak. I have no access to smogon or NB so somethings will be left blank.


Heracross (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Guts
EVs: 140 HP / 164 Atk / 204 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Hidden Power [Rock]
- Megahorn
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

The speed lets it outrun random stuff. Like DeeDeeMince.

Claydol (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: Prolly 236-252 HP and whatever else I need
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Light Screen
- Rapid Spin
- Dunno Yet
- Dunno Yet

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 176 HP / 16 Atk / 120 Def / 96 SAtk / 100 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Protect

I dun think those are the EVs I have on file, but it's pretty close iirc.

Articuno @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: Need some help on this. Prefreably something that can 60% Celebi.
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Roar
- Toxic / Heal Bell

Don't u just hate that not all servers have XD mods? .-.

Forretress (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 52 Atk / 204 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Counter
- Earthquake
- Protect
- Spikes

Ooohh, that's why I have Claydol.

Dusclops (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Atk / 160 Def / 40 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Focus Punch
- Pain Split
- Shadow Ball
- Substitute

I've grown quite attacthed to this.

Perhaps I can beat Raikou if Claydo's Light Screen holds out, but other than that, Heracross will just have to hit it hard as a leadoff. So, rate n' fix plz.

I like metagross on any team w/ arti..Just for the solid rock resistance.Claydol can hinder raikou a bit.But he isnt really a counter.Snorlax > dusclops


Articuno @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 16 Spd / 56 SAtk / 128 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Roar
- Sleep Talk


Those SpAtt EVs will let it do between 50 and 60% damage to the avg celebi.
And even if celebi has max hp and max Spdef EVs [won't happen] it'll still do between 40 and 50%.

And then it can't acheive it's purpose of actually blocking attacks while attempting to hit. HP Rock isn't going to achieve anywhere near a OHKO ,especially after Intimidate (in fact, with Jolly, you're looking at a 4HKO after Intimidate, damage calc it =/) and then Mence just laughs at you. Go back to Adamant, 240 speed, rest in SDef and Atk.

Claydol (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: Prolly 236-252 HP and whatever else I need
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Light Screen
- Rapid Spin
- Ice Beam/Earthquake
- Protect/Ice Beam/Earthquake


Yes, I'm whoring Protect on things now. But only because with these kind of pogeyz, it actually works. =)

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 176 HP / 16 Atk / 120 Def / 96 SAtk / 100 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam

Looks fine to me.

Articuno @ Leftovers

Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Roar
- Toxic / Heal Bell

Give me your sample Celebi, and I'll give you an EV spread. I tried a spread involving 400 HP and 265 SDef, took about 290 SAtk to do 57-67% (thus guaranteeing a 2HKO), so you can work from there depending on what you need.

Forretress (M) @ Leftovers

Hi Forry.

Dusclops (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Atk / 160 Def / 40 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Focus Punch
- Pain Split
- Shadow Ball
- Substitute

This looks so similar somehow... >_>
Hi Dugtrio. Thar be the answer to your team's problem. I can't see anything else significant atm, other than the fact I think Articuno, while cool, is a bit overrated.

I'm going to base this solely off Celebi running SDef. Guarantees a 2HKO, even with Lefties recovery.

With Bold:
Articuno @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 124 HP / 112 Def / 188 SAtk / 84 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)

With Modest:
Articuno @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 124 HP / 196 Def / 92 SAtk / 96 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

With Calm:
Articuno @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 124 HP / 196 Def / 188 SAtk
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
