Introduction
Alright, so lately I've been battling 5 gen on the Gary Oak Server on Shoddy. I made a team originally based around Perversity Jaroda, TormentTran, and Burungeru, but it grew into something much different. So please take a look and rate!
From a distance:
Through a telescope:
Gigaiasu @ Custap Berry
Adamant Nature
Sturdy
252 Atk/252 Spe (No investment in defenses because of the purpose in a Gigaiasu lead)
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock
-Stone Edge
-Explosion
Gigaiasu is my lead, being able to beat many common leads with Sturdy and a Custap Berry and also able to set up Stealth Rocks. If I'm going up against something that will taunt me, like Eurfuun, I'll usually just attack it with Stone Edge or Earthquake, depending on the lead. If I know they can't beat me, I'll usually just set up Stealth Rock and attack. If it's something like an anti-lead, I usually either set up SR or attack (Depending on how threatening the lead is) and then Explode in its face when Custap Berry activates.
Breloom @ Life Orb
Adamant nature
Technician
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
-Mach Punch
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Seed
-Stone Edge
Breloom is my physical sweeper, and the first part of my Fire-Grass-Water trio. This thing can switch in on something it threatens, SD on the switch, and proceed to sweep. And it works. It can also be a makeshift revenge killer if I need to beat something like Doryuuzu. Life Orb is there to net sine KOs, and Stone Edge is obviously there for Shanderaa (Who will probably try to set up right in my face).
Warubiaru @ Choice BScarf
Jolly nature
Overconfidence
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
-Crunch
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Pursuit
Warubiaru is here to deal with Psychics such as Cresselia and Celebi, and Fire types such as Shanderaa that would give Breloom a hard time. It's also here to punch holes through the opponent's teams so my sweepers have a much easier time. With Overconfidence boosting my Attack with every KO, this thing becomes deadly. Pursuit is there for fleeing Psychics and Blissey. With a Choice Scarf on, it outspeeds a lot of things and makes a good revenge killer and a good check to things such as Salamence.
Heatran @ Life Orb
Timid nature
4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
-Substitute
-Fire Blast
-Dragon Pulse
-Earth Power
In this metagame, you don't see Heatran very often anymore. However, it can be a huge threat to teams unprepared for it. Here, Heatran is my special sweeper. It can come in on a Fire attack aimed at Breloom, Substitute on the switch, and sweep. Or it can just switch into something that it threatens such as Nattorei, Substitute, and sweep. Dragon Pulse together with Fire Blast and Earth Power offers near perfect coverage, and Substitute allows it to actually beat Swampert.
Burungeru @ Leftovers
Calm nature
Water Absorb
252 HP/6 Def/252 SpD
Will-O-Wisp
Shadow Ball
Surf
Recover
Burungeru acts as my answer to stuff like Infernape and Speed Boost Blaziken that could otherwise defeat my team very easily. With its low defense, it attracts physical attackers such as Ononokuso... Only to be burned and crippled by Will-O-Wisp! Surf and Shadow Ball allows it to hit things, and Recover acts as recovery, which is invaluable on something like Burungeru that's going to be taking multiple hits from powerhouses.
Ditto @ Choice Scarf
Eccentric
Timid nature
252 HP
-Transform
Ditto is my revenge killer, being able to come in on stuff like Ononokuso, copy its stats, boosts, attacks, etc, and revenge kill it. It can also help put holes through opponent teams if I manage to Transform into something that can sweep. 252 HP is there because Ditto doesn't copy the foe's HP. Pretty self explanatory, though.
Opinions on my team? Thanks in advance for rating.
