Another wacky team experiment

[Iceman3k]

This time I think I've outdone myself :o
I thought up this one while I was at work yesterday and today.
EDIT on Aug. 15 @ 23:08: Pretty much skewered the whole team =/

Registeel @ Leftovers ** Tony Stark
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 208 HP / 80 Atk / 84 Def / 136 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -SDef)
- Thunder
- Iron Head
- Stealth Rock
- Rest
Special Tank + Normal Resist + Stealth Rock Support.

Blastoise @ Leftovers ** King Koopa
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 216 HP / 76 Atk / 136 Def / 80 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Aqua Jet
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Substitute
A peculiar, yet completely custom Blastoise. Physical (-ish) Tank.

Gengar @ Leftovers / Life Orb ** Klug 2.0
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hypnosis
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
More normal resist + Ground resist.
Perhaps he should go with a more Sp. Sweeper job.

Electivire @ Life Orb ** Hulk Hogan
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 252 Atk / 180 Spd / 76 SAtk
Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Earthquake / Cross Chop
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Punch
- Fire Punch
A huge downgrade from Garchomp I might say, but it just might get the job done, knowing that I don't need Choice Scarf to operate him.

Swampert @ Leftovers ** Baramos
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP / 40 Atk / 92 Def / 136 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Avalanche / Waterfall / Stone Edge
I obviously don't have any better ideas, and I really don't like this option. He's only there until I can think of something MUCH better.

Gyarados @ Leftovers ** Armaggedon
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 168 HP / 156 Atk / 8 Def / 176 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang / Stone Edge
STILL the best rapper alive.

Yes, I am perfectly aware of the big throbbing Heracross weakness in my team. I'll be working on that in the future. Also, expect daily updates to this team. This is probably going to be a team that I actually build for Wi-Fi Play.

Okay, aragornbird and Samson, you may now proceed to rip this team to shreds. Thank you :)

you need garchomp to have fire blast.. or maybe flare blitz

 

[Iceman3k]

Garchomp can't get Flare Blitz. Fire Blast, I'll have to think on it. Don't see a Strong need for it since it's running off of Choice Scarf and Adamant Nature.

I might consider using it, depending on whether or not I obtain more Skarm counters since Gengar is my only one.

 

[Towlie]

Registeel: Sure, but I'd take exposion over rest. =\

Blastoise: Don't see the use of Substitute here. Too slow to absorb status, No Focus Punch, no 101 subs.

Gengar: Black Sludge or Choice Specs please.

Garchomp: Fire Blast over Stone Edge or Crunch. Pick one. Why you're not using outrage is a mystery to me. Metagross smacking you up while you're using Outrage?

Roserade: Roserade doesn't cut it defensive wise. You need Focus Sash, not life orb. Leaf Storm over Energy Ball.

Gyarados: Taunt over Earthquake/Ice Fang.


Overall, Starmie rips apart your team.

Blastoise: Thunderbolt

Gengar: 1-2 Surfs should KO it.

Garchomp: Ice Beam

Roserade: Ice Beam

Gyarados: Thunderbolt

Really, any special sweeper rips through this team.

hmm then someone lied to me...nvm... either fire blast or fire fang

That's just putting a Special Tank to waste. Also, I don't think you've caught attention to the combo I'm pairing with Stealth Rock in his moveset.

Blastoise: Don't see the use of Substitute here. Too slow to absorb status, No Focus Punch, no 101 subs.
I send in Blastoise on something that can't hurt it while they switch to an Electric Type. As they switch, I set the sub, and after I set the Sub, I launch an Earthquake while they break the sub. If I'm lucky, they'll be at fatal health, which would be the perfect opportunity to launch an Aqua Jet. Yes, I know, strange role for a tank, but it has to defend himself somehow.

Gengar: Black Sludge or Choice Specs please.
Black Sludge it is. No Choice Specs because I'm running HypnoPunch.

Garchomp: Fire Blast over Stone Edge or Crunch. Pick one. Why you're not using outrage is a mystery to me. Metagross smacking you up while you're using Outrage?
I've already mentioned that Metagross will be free to attack at will while I'm using Outrage. All he has to do is Walk in, use Agility, and Fire a Meteor Mash and kill me, and then annihilate the rest of my team. Not only will I be out of a primary attacker, but I will also be put into a horrible situation at hand.

Roserade: Roserade doesn't cut it defensive wise. You need Focus Sash, not life orb. Leaf Storm over Energy Ball.
Sweepers need not defense to use Life Orb, trust me, I see it all the time. I see no entertainment use in Focus Sash since it ONLY works when I'm at FULL health about to be KOed by a Super Effective attack. It might come in handy, but then again, it might not, depends on the situation. It's not going to come in handy against a Metagross going on a rampage against me, I can tell you that (see above comment as to how that can happen)

Gyarados: Taunt over Earthquake/Ice Fang.
Perhaps over Earthquake, although that will leave me completely vulnerable against most, if not all, Electric Types, seeing as Waterfall DOESN'T guarantee a One-Hit-KO against them.

Overall, Starmie rips apart your team.

Blastoise: Thunderbolt

Gengar: 1-2 Surfs should KO it.

Garchomp: Ice Beam

Roserade: Ice Beam

Gyarados: Thunderbolt

Really, any special sweeper rips through this team.
No, not any Special Sweeper. Maybe a very high Special Attacking Pokemon with Thunderbolt (pretty much pointing out PorygonZ), but not ALL special sweepers can attack. Only the ones with Thunderbolt and Ice Beam, in a combo might I say, are prone to defeating me.

But don't think that my comments are the thing that will make you think I'm not listening because I completely understand your point. After seeing how much of a risk my team is at against PorygonZ, I am now strongly considering Electivire over Garchomp, mainly to be used as a mixed sweeper. But I do, however, will need a proper replacement for Gengar, that will do a good job in filling his place, since I won't have much of a offensive purpose for his services, so most namely, something that has speed, can induce sleep, and that can actually hit the enemy for some damage. IF you are victorious in finding me something that fits that role, then you have my gratitude.

Now, chances ARE, that I might replace Roserade with another Special Sweeper, then find something else that can put Aromatherapy to perfect use. Although I was considering Zapdos and putting him on Sleep Talking to Absorb Status, I already have a legendary, which is Registeel, which I heavily doubt that I'm dropping. So I'll be working on thinking of something to fit that role.

Like I say, I will be updating this team at least once a day, so always stay tuned for what I might think of.

 

[Towlie]

Breloom has some decent speed. 100 Accuracy sleep. stab focus punch too.

 

[Shiraishi]

Breloom has terrible speed for a physical sweeper o.0 He needs jask support.

 

[Anti]

Isn't breloom's base speed 70? I wouldn't call that fast. Still, it can be very effective. Spore+Focus Punch is a great combo.

 

[Samson]

registeel: even being used as a special wall, it gets walled by most steel types. metagross scares it away, skarmory sets spikes and whirlwinds, magnezone whittles registeel away with STAB tbolts, etc, etc. that's why careful is a bad nature on registeel: give it sassy. it needs thunderbolt + hammer arm/earthquake to maintain itself against threats. iron head isn't enough.

blastoise: with such low atk evs, there's really no point in substitute. you set a sub when they think you will use rapid spin which invites ghosts, and even then, aqua jet would still be a 3 or 4HKO. if you really plan on having blastoise as a bulky physical attacker, it can pull it off if you distribute the sp def evs into attack, and give it choice band.

gengar: its attack ivs + evs + nature are not good enough to 2OHKO blissey. with that set up, its Atk stat reaches a pathetic 190 at lvl 100. you'll need +Atk nature as well at least 204 atk evs to do anything worth the run. besides, even with wide lens, hypnosis is quite unreliable. go with substitute instead of hypnosis and give it more attack evs with Lonely/Naughty nature. having a +speed nature with that many evs in speed is pointless if it's not 252 evs in speed to outrun threats. much less speed evs with a neutral spd nature is enough to scare away foes and set up a sub.

scarf chomp is very common, but that ev spread on scarf chomp is NOT. it doesn't even need any speed evs with scarf, but to be safe, you should give it around 116 speed evs, and put the rest into HP and/or sp defense. you could also give it a Lonely/Naughty nature so that you can give it some sp atk evs for Fire Blast.

roserade: if you REALLY think it is a special sweeper, i hate to say it, but it's pretty bad. get rid of aromatherapy for sleep powder, get HP Fire instead of Hp Ice, and go with Sludge Bomb. you may also consider choice specs for a surprise of a strong hit.

give gyara Wacan berry.

 

[Towlie]

I said decent speed. And Breloom doesn't need Jask support to sweep.

But if he wants good speed, he should use either Ninetales (Base 100) or Crobat (Base 130)

I'd go with Ninetales with Hypnosis, Nasty Plot, Fire Blast, Energy Ball. Holding Wide Lens of course.


And btw, you CAN switch while you're using Outrage. Unless you stay to attack, gross won't walk over you.

And btw, you CAN switch while you're using Outrage. Unless you stay to attack, gross won't walk over you.

Outrage, like Petal Dance and Thrash, doesn't work that way. Once you use that attack, you can't do anything besides that for the next 2-3 turns, therefore making you unable to switch.
