Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 212 HP/16 Atk/180 Def/100 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Taunt
- Stone Edge
Taunts leads, then either DDs or kills with Waterfall. Survives most physical hits with his bulkiness and can usually last a whole game. If he can get 2 or more DDs in, he becomes unstoppable. He's usually only threatened by TrickScarf leads and electric moves. For TrickScarf users I'll just switch into Heatran which turns the tables on them, and for electric moves switch into Electivire. How original.
Scizor (M) @ Occa Berry
Ability: Technician
EVs: 108 HP/252 Atk/148 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- U-turn
- Pursuit/Swords Dance
Great revenge killer. If Gyarados dies in the middle of a sweep, usually Scizor or Zapdos comes and cleans up. Scizor can finish it pretty quick with bullet punch if the Pokemons at low HP, otherwise I'll use Zapdos instead.
Zapdos @ Expert Belt
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 132 HP/124 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Agility
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Heat Wave
- Thunderbolt
Zapdos is great for coverage and revenge. One agility and it can rip through teams like paper. Main threats are ice/rock attacks, but I can switch in Heatran for those.
Latias (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 12 HP/42 Def/252 Spd/204 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Dragon Pulse
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
Absorbs hits pretty well, and is mainly there to interrupt sweeps. STAB'd Dragon Pulse and Psychic work pretty well against weaker sweepers like Gengar, Alakazam, Weavile, Aerodactyl, etc.
Electivire (M) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Cross Chop
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch/Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch
Switches into electric attacks aimed at Gyarados, 'nuff said. Not sure how much coverage his moveset will get with fire and thunder punches so I may swap fire punch for ice punch. After he gets a speed boost from motor drive he can go on a good sweep since he gets such good coverage.
Heatran (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Rash nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Earth Power
- Heat Wave
- Explosion
- Hidden Power [Grass]
Scarfed Heatran. Not too sure about this guy since most people have come to expect this set and usually switch in to something that resists the move he used. Switches into TrickScarf leads aimed at Gyarados and sometimes used to revenge kill. If there's a big threat I switch him in and explode.
So that's my team. I decided to just use 6 bulky sweepers rather than 4 sweepers and 2 walls, and it's been working pretty well on Shoddy. I haven't noticed any really big threats, just a lot of small ones as there would be on any team. Flame away :D
