    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:

    [PokeCommunity.com] 5th Gen RMT

    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.


    [PokeCommunity.com] 5th Gen RMT

    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.

    im not sure if skymin is still allowed or not, but if it is it 6-0's you with Seed Flare/Air Slash/EP, so add a counter to it of some kind, any semi-bulky steel-type should do fine as long as its neutral to EP. alternatively you can give heatran a shuca berry and get it with fireblast.

    Yeah, I think Skymin is still allowed, but they might be testing it. Not sure though, haven't seen it yet. What should I reaplce for said bulky steel-type? I could either give Heatran the Shuca Berry or the Balloon, I think either one would work.
     
    Zeffy: I already have 252 EVs in speed. I'll make the changes to Ditto, though. Thanks.
    D_A: I'll go ahead and change that, thank you.

    Anyhow, I have a bit of a problem with Salamences, particularly MixMence. None of my Pokemon outspeed it, and I usually have to have Ditto sent in to revenge it. Help, please?

    Warubiaru is better off with a Choice Scarf because Overconfidence already provides an Attack boost when it KOs something.
     
    Yeah, I've been testing him out with that lately and he does really well with it on. I'll add that to the first post.

    Any other suggestions?
