Cresselia is "as interesting as the sock under my bed"

[Goldeneyes]

Introduction
As I have recently being playing around with the new choice scarf Infernape (which, by the way is awesome!) I created a new team with a Scarfape as a revnge killer. It worked great from a great hunk of mutated metal who knows how to start ballgames to a floating duck that is so far unimpressive it's a fun team to use. I've been having troubles with Gyarados without completely changing the team but that's where you guys come in, right?

The Crew

"image removed"@ Leftovers
208 HP / 76 Attack / 224 Defence
Adamant

Meteor Mash
Bullet Punch
Stealth Rock
Earthquake

As usual Metagross is my lead. With enough defences to survive nearly all non STAB moves and enough attack evs to seriously dent the opponent. This sets up my Stealth Rock in style and also doubles as a Tyranitar counter against the Tyranitars that don't have EQ. This thing is usually saved as it is very good to sponge hits when the opponent's Tyranitar is gone.

212 HP / 160 Attack / 136 Defence
Adamant

Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Rest
Sleep Talk

Where would I be without Gyarados? This leviathon takes hits from so many pokemon and 2HKOs back. Many popular pokemon such as Heatran, Infernape (without Thunderpunch), Heracross, Scizor and Lucario all fail to 2HKO Gyara and can 2HKO with a non boosted Waterfall. It also helps against the leads that Meta is at a disadvantage to. It also carries the element of surprise with most Gyara counters failing to win one-on-one because of my extra defences. I have a problem with Vaporeon, though.



"image removed"@ Choice Scarf
64 Attack / 252 Sp.Atk / 192 Speed
Naïve

Overheat
Close Combat
Hidden Power [Ice]
Grass Knot

Choice Scarf Infernape looks good and I'm interested to try it out. It's a very fast revenge killer that has great coverage and some powerful moves. This set was actually just a Mixape's set with a Choice Scarf. Overheat and Close Combat are the double STAB moves that will hit with a bang and cause a lot of damage. Hidden Power Ice for the dragons who I dislike rearing their ugly heads and Grass Knot is for the bulky waters who will think twice next time before switching in. This looks good and I'd just like to test it out before any decision is made.

252 HP / 220 Sp.Def / 36 Speed
Calm

Thunderbolt
Heat Wave
Hidden Power [Grass]
Roost

Okay, so this is here to support Infernape against the bulky waters who like to show their ugly heads when he is killing something. I desperately need help with this and I would prefer EVs so that this isn't 2HKOed by their Ice Beams and OHKOs back. Hidden Power [Grass] over [Ice] because I already have enough dragon idiot coverage. This is probably the most debatable member of the team.

176 HP / 252 Attack / 80 Speed
Adamant

U-Turn
Bullet Punch
Superpower
Pursuit

Scizor. Platinum. They were made for each other. CB Scizor is already an absolute boogey-man without setup. U-Turn is the ultimate scouting move on this abominable snowman. Bullet Punch with STAB and Technician is awesome on this Tyranitar. All I'm saying is this thing is a MONSTER!

Thunderwave

Okay, before you give Cresselia a hard time, I need it to counter Mence, which is a big nuisance to my team. Cress does nothing except die with its lack of recovery, but it is good against preicted Earthquakes and other moves it can withstand coming off the dragons which are a pain in the neck against all teams. Cress is meh, but it does the job.

Okay so this team FAILS. Have fun ripping it to shreds and whatnot. Also, as stated in the intro I need a Gyara counter without completely changing the team and a spread for Zappy which does the previously mentioned things. Lol Cress.Tata.

I think that a CBttar can come in on your cresselia and pursuit to kill, so watch out for that. Other than that I can't spot any major mistakes.

Just a small nitpick, but use Overheat on Infernape. It helps in a sense that it OHKOs Gengar, whom can really be a jerk to this team (especially since SR hinders Zapdos).

I'll stop by for a bigger rate.

@Leonix: Ttar is not particularly a problem to Cresselia because Cress has ROFLect and if necessary can completely cripple Ttar. With ROFLect up, cress takes 20% when not switching out, if i remember correctly.

 

[StrickeN]

Of course CBTTar will come in and ruin cress's fun.

TTar does that, that doesn't mean jack towards his team. He's not particularly weak to a pursuiter.

Just because one of his pokemon is weak to one other ppokemon doesn't change it's weakness etc.

 

[Goldeneyes]

Sure, Cress takes a lot, but Cress can cripple it completely.
