    I already asked about my team a long while ago, but now I've made a new team to adapt to the changes my friends are making to their teams.

    NOTE: I got Quagsire and Gengar using AR. Leftovers I got from trades.

    All my Pokemon have leftovers as their item.

    Quagsire (Level 69, ability is Water Absorb, Adamant nature): Return, Yawn, Sludge Bomb, Earthquake

    Gengar (level 73 and Timid): Giga Drain, Thunderbolt. Pyschic, Shadow Ball

    Sceptile (Level 100 and Naughty BTW: Should I get rid of Scep for something else?): Toxic, Crunch, Leaf Blade, Earthquake

    Regice (Level 100 and Mild): ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Ancient Power, Explosion

    Rayquaza (Level 100 and Adamant) : Fly, Dragon Dance, Earthquake, XtremeSpeed

    Kyogre (Level 100 and Timid) : Surf, Calm Mind, Ice Beam, Thunder

    I have no idea what my Pokemon's EVs are.

    And I wouldn't mind having Quagsire replaced by something else...I was originally thinking of using it to rid my friend of their kyogres but I'm not too sure of it. I was thinking of using Salamence, but a lot about 3 of my pokemon are already weak against ice and electric (scep, ray, kyo, quag).

    Salamence:(gentle and leftys) Dragon Dance, Earthquake, Aerial Ace, Double-Edge(or maybe brick break to deal with ice?)

    Blah... Ky... Kyogre!? That's just pure ugly... Guess I'm pretty desperate... but I don't really see much ways to handle this without using some highly common and standard team too. See if you can ask your friends to incorporate FRLG moves as well (use your AR to get them if they allow it, if not... tell me again?) Due to you facing up such evil beast, i'm afraid i have to switch in a few new team members...

    A Special Team Dedicated to Kyogre-Maul

    Sceptile- [spd + / atk -] @ leftovers
    EV: Spd and Atk
    -substitute
    -leech seed
    -earthquake/toxic
    -brick break/focus punch

    Use leech seed to lead off then continously use substitute. With both leftovers and leech seed healing you, you lose very little hp to create the substitute while they lose a lot more from leech seed. You may even want to sneak in toxic/focus punch when sub is up to deal extra damage. You can use earthquake or brick break to be less reliant on substitute. A physical sceptile can surprise your opponent easily too (especially focus punch)

    If you dislike physical sweeping... switch the nature to modest, and replace the physical moves with dragon claw, leaf blade or crunch. (preferably leaf blade and dragon claw, and actually since looking back at this team, this team lacks special attack a little so preferably use the special attacking Sceptile)

    Blissey 1- [sp.def + / atk -] @ leftovers {Natural Cure}
    EV: HP, Sp.def
    -softboil
    -toxic
    -seismic toss
    -heal bell/light screen/counter

    Anti-Kyogre to the max... Even if Kyogre has rain dance boost on Surf/Water Spout, it'll take it some time to try to take down a monster egg with 700 hp, light screen and 360 sp.def. Softboil for healing, and the other 2 moves for indirect damage without any attack EV. If I'm not desperate, I certainly won't recommand you using this evil creature to battle (but since you're against ubars... meh). If light screen is over doing it, try counter or heal bell.

    Unless Kyogre have ancientpower which is very rare, Kyogre will most likely run... then you may have a free turn to setup a light screen/heal bell for your team, or seismic/toxic on the switch which is nice.
    If Kyogre uses Rest to rid itself of toxic, then you have 2 free turns to switch to...

    Ninjask- [def + / atk -] @ leftovers
    EV: Hp and Spd
    -Substitute
    -Protect
    -Swords Dance
    -Baton Pass

    "WHAT! NO ATTACK? YOU SERIOUS?" dead serious... If Kyogre does rest but has no chesto berry, you're home free. Switch to Ninjask immediately and use swords dance as soon as you can. The next turn it'll wake up, so setup a sub right away and let sub take the hit. Use protect next turn to block another hit (by this time leftovers healed you quite a bit). Continue the pattern for awhile (and use swords dance whenever your sub doesn't break the first turn it's made) to gain some free speed. If Kyogre is continously using water or electric attacks, you can safely baton pass to this guy to sweep...

    Quagsire- [atk + / sp.atk -] @ quick claw
    EV: Atk and Def
    -Earthquake
    -Sludge Bomb
    -Brick Break
    -HP Ghost

    Sweep sweep sweep... absorb the water or nullify that thunder from Kyogre, andproceed to receive the free swords dances and super speed from baton pass. Destroy everything in sight and say gg if the chain succeeds. If not, Quagsire is still not bad of a battler with quick claw's 24% chance of first strike. Feel free to add in amnesia somewhere in case if Quagsire needs to live without the baton pass from Ninjask against Kyogre. With some luck, even the substitute can be passed along too (if baton pass is used when the sub is standing, then the sub is passed as well)

    Regice- [sp.atk + / sp.def -] @ leftovers
    EV: Sp.Atk and Sp.Def + Hp
    -toxic
    -ice beam
    -thunderbolt
    -rest

    Regice doesn't ahve attack power to support any physical attacks... give it rest for endurability, and toxic to support blissey a little


    The last Pokemon i'll leave it up to you... Do you want to risk a little bit in order to win the bragging rights of "Ha! I beat your team without using any ubars!" or just win it more easily/

    Rayquaza- [atk + / sp.atk -] @ choice band
    EV: Spd and Atk
    -extremespeed
    -aerial ace
    -earthquake
    -brick break

    When you got choice band, and you got extremespeed with the 3rd highest attack power in the game, no non-legendary will survive... However if it's legendary, use the other moves (or if you already use extremespeed to start off with, then either switch or hope for the best).

    Medicham- [atk + / sp.atk -] @ salac berry
    EV: Atk and Spd
    -hi jump kick
    -rock slide
    -HP Bug
    -shadowball

    Another sweeper but non-ubar... If Ninjask is setting up against something that's not a Kyogre, you can consider switching to Medicham instead of Quagsire, as Medicham is a lot more destructive. If it survives the one hit from baton pass, you're home free... If Medicham ever gets one swords dance and 1 agility passed from Ninjask, even Kyogre will have a fun time defending from something like 700 attack power Hi Jump Kick with STAB.


    This team is completely shaped for Anti-Kyogre, as the complete absense of fire attacks is a pain... If you're against Skarmory, you only have 2 choices: either use Regice, or... hope for the best with your fighting attacks and brute force your way through. Salamence is a common Pokemon for most people as "it's just cool because it's strong." It's vulnerability to ice and rock slide will be your best friend against one, and Sceptile holds a strong edge against one too with dragon claw. Sorry if this team will cause you to re-train a lot of Pokemon ^^; So that's why you should try to promote online battling instead ;p
