GO GO POWER RANGERS

[.]

Introduction
The main idea behind this team is to use Pokes I haven't used before (or recently, in both Deoxys-e and Cune's case), like Feraligatr. Unfortunately, it was having trouble with standards, so I had to tweak it up a bit and didn't get to use things like Aerodactyl (back in OU baby!) Still, this should be considered a serious team, although I didn't plan nor do I believe it shall do excellent or soar to the top of the leaderboards (you never do know though T_T) Oh, and sorry, no Power Rangers theme.​

Ice Fang is no use anymore on Hippowdon with Garchomp in ubers. And an endless Sandstorm which nothing else on your team resists isn't that good of an idea.

I prefer 212 HP/120 Def/176 SpDef as RestTalk Milotic's EV spread. You get more defence to double and the SpDef after 176 does not much in particular

HP EVs seem pointless on Weavile. Better with max speed.

Has trouble with standards like you said, even CBTar now due to Aqua Tail. Not sure how to fix this becuase it seems to be a team with your favorites more than competitively brilliant 'mons.

I'm gonna replace Hippowdon. I realized the complete brain relapse when I saw SubSalac Gatr and Hippowdon on paper ;_; Any suggestions? (I was thinking of Aero, not suicide, but meh)

 

[Zurich]

What about azelf for a lead? That all i can think of.

Azelf@ Choice scarf
U-turn
Stealth rock
Zen hedbutt
Explotion/ if you dont want suicide maybe put ice punch or something like that

 

[.]

Eh, I guess Azelf could work. I'm trying out ol' Aero for a while.

 

[El Gofre]

I'm dissapointed by the lack of power rangers, those guys rules my childhood =]

Lack of fight resist and reliable walls is also regrettable, I can see machamp chewing through a lot of this. I'm tired and can't bring myself to do a full rate (Damn you jack daniels), I'll have a better look tomorrow.

 

[Syaoran]

Quite a noob team.

Heracross pulls the SubSalac thing a lot better. That Suicune is stat up fodder. Weavile doesn't hit hard enough imo, but let's ignore that for the moment. Your entire team gets massacred by the common SD Scizor, even Suicune can't take on SD X-Scissor.

Enjoy your death! ^__^

 

[.]

Don't see how that helps me, but thanks for taking time to look over it <3

By the way, Feraligatr is much cooler, and I've used Hera already.

I agree 100%, and give this teem a -12/10 d00d. There are NO Power Rangers here, and I deem this team epic phail.

To make it less phail, couldn't you add Machamp here?

 

[.]

I've used Machamp very recently (and still am) so that'd destroy the purpose of this team =/

 

[sims796]

That doesn't excuse the lack of Power Rangers.

But my bad, I didn't read the intro, I was too pissed from not seeing a pink ranger in a miniskirt, jerk.

How popular is Haryiama? Or Hitmontop, for that matter?

 

[.]

Using both currently (Yama on my Platinum and Top on my mixed tier team) =/

I should make the extra effort...and make this a power ranger theme...

 

[sims796]

Wait...doesn't Breloom resist both Rock, Dark, AND Ground? Couldn't you give it Mach Punch & make it teh Green Rangah?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!1/1/!/1/1/1?!!?/

That'll hanlde Tar somewhat.

 

[.]

Breloom already massacres all but DDTar (who, by the way, it raped by Deoxys-e) it comes in on Crunch and EQ (Stone Edge CAN 2HKO, so it's risky) and uses it as set up fodder.

There are a few things you can do here... My first idea would be to run a remotely bulkier set, so Stone Edge can't OHKO. Spore should be able to do it's magic, and let you sub. Any Lum sets should be Leads, so Aero should be able to take them. *RUNS CALC*... 68% - 80%, so if it decides to attack rather than DD, you can always revenge it with Weavile/Deoxys.

One other thing is to consider Sashing your lead Aerodactyl. It lets you get at least two attacks unless you are facing a fast scarfer or Hail-Inducer.

All I can see now... Besides the Trick Room weak.

If you don't use the Power Ranger Theme, I will. I'm warning you....

 

[Noir Lancer]

- 4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd on Weavile the HP Evs really do not accomplish anything really, Smogon claims it can survive an Azelf's unboosted Flamethrower, which a 4 HP version can also do, however, Azelf nowadays have LO or Fire Blast. Allowing Weavile to be hit defeats its purpose anyway, and with 252/252 you can revenge kill other Weavile who run the Smogon standard. Besides that's how the current offensive metagame operates, might as wel jump on the bandwagon.


I apologize I'm short on time, however I dont think that Gatr nature and spread is going to work quite frankly, as well as max speed on a positive nature Deoxys, will provide alternatives in a later post.

I'll sacrifice Speed EVs, since all the things I use as set up fodder can't outspeed me even if I lower it to 0.

Eh, I REALLY don't want to turn it into a suicide lead. Life Orb actually makes Aero into a capable sweeper. Kills off suicide leads as well.

Lol noob poser

Agreed, thank you.

+Spe lets me outrun Max Spe Metagross, but I don't see many of them.

I'm updating it to the Power Rangers now =/

 

[Noir Lancer]

For Deoxys, 96 Atk/ 252 S.Atk/ 160 Spd will probably be all it needs in terms of speed for beating Scarf Gengar, otherwise use 116 EVs to outspeed other Deoxys-e, it needs the Attack in my opinion.

 

[ExtremeDarkness]

i honestly don't think that breloom would be a good choice.

 

[Dunsparce]

i honestly don't think that breloom would be a good choice.

What are you talking about? Breloom is offically OU in the Smogon Tiers.

It's a great Pokemon. Spore+Focus Punch and Toxic Orb+Poison Heal are great Stategies only it can use. Smeargle can learn Spore+Focus Punch, but is better off BPing than attempting to sweep.

"I honestly don't think" you know what you're talking about. ;/
