Back to my Roots

[Synchronize]

Because of my initial love for Umbreon, I'm a valiant Baton Passer by nature. So when my standard/stalling/innovative teams seem to have failed lately, I started just randomly experimenting more than usual. I came across an idea of using Agility Jolteon + Umbreon, and decided to test them out with Perish Song Celebi.

Umbreon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 80 Spd / 56 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Baton Pass
- Mean Look
- Taunt
- Wish

With Agility pass, it will end up with 371 Speed.

Jolteon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 136 HP / 168 Spd / 84 SAtk / 120 SDef
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Agility
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt

I'm not sweeping without a Hidden Power, so I focused my EVs to keep my Substitutes vs Zapdos. I might need a bit more SDef to do that though =/.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 240 HP / 64 Def / 24 Spd / 60 SAtk / 120 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Perish Song
- Recover
- Reflect

Modified Perish Songer. With an Agility in, it will outrun and OHKO Dugtrio after Perish Song is conducted. It will also Recover faster than Gengar can Ice Punch, so I'm allowed to use HP Grass without fear. Reflect for Snorlax while I screw them over.

Salamence (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 148 HP / 240 Atk / 60 Spd / 60 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Rock Slide

Pyro made some Salamence EVs a while back, stating that "no one uses 394 Jolteon/Aerodactyl" anymore. Well, I'm Agilipassing, so this spread was near perfect. I lol'd when I took Swampert Ice Beams and Modest Salamence Dragon Claws to get in an extra DD after an SD pass.

Mawile (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Ancientpower
- Baton Pass
- Swords Dance
- Taunt

I swear, I was really just trying too fool around when I added this thing. But in more than half my battles, tussling with Jolteon has left teams wide open to Mawile setting up. I've actually been able to set up at least two Swords Dances each time.

Poliwrath (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Brick Break
- Focus Punch
- Hidden Power [Rock]
- Hypnosis

Well, Suicune was a factor here, since Roar wouldn't keep Suicune in place for a Perish Song, and this is THE counter for it. I Taunt Suicune with Mawile, and pass any SDs over to this guy. It takes no damage from surf, and while Suicune Roars or Switches out, I'm hitting hard with a STABed Swords Danced Focus Punch. I opted for HP Rock over Ghost for Zapdos, though HP Ghost would help so Celebi doesn't screw me over like it did in a recent battle with Pyro.

Can't really say it's effective against Tyraniwhore and the like, but damnit this is one of my best Umbreon/Baton Pass teams.

CBtar is a ***** in this gen anyway 100% of my teams usually have a Tar weak ._.

Dragon Dance on mence when Passing agility and SDances is kinda redundant

That celebi is awesome really, I should use it sometime ^_^

The DDMence after passing is situational, especially since I'm not always able to get both Agility and SD passed together, or enough SDs for a full sweep with Salamence.
