I'm a Pretty Peach Princess

[sims796]

I haven't played this in quite some time, so I would like to ask my team to get reviewed. I may or may not 'take' the changes, but I most definately want to hear them out. I have made a RMT for this team before, but since I haven't played in a month or so, and I have forgotten some of the major threats.

Of course, I play for fun. So you must excuse the mix of UU & OU (BL is BS, har-diddy-har). I would like to formally request you NOT remove Vileplume.

And this is something that Dark Asself says constantly, and I couldn't agree more. If I have a way of dealing with a threat, IT ISN'T A REAL THREAT. Please don't say things like "CB Ttar can wipe out ur hole teemz", even though I have a poke that can OHKO with well prediction. Don't theorymon me to death.

The pokemon look the same as last time, but they fufill vaslty different roles.

Leafeon@Leftovers
Nature:Impish
Leaf Blade
Wish
Protect
Roar
EV:252 HP, 232 Def, 20 Atk

He is my main physical wall. I have been fuctioning very well with a Wishpasser on my team. Most threats in the OU metagame takes some sort of (decent enough) damage from Leaf Blade alone, enough to defend myself while I take their hits. A true tank.

Before I forget, this team is primarily for wifi, and I had to give him 20 ATK EVs to make up for his less than acceptable attack IV stat. For shoddy, his spread is simply 252 HP, 252 Def.

Snorlax@Leftovers
Nature:Careful
Rest
Sleep Talk
Body Slam
Crunch
EV:244 HP, 20 Def, 236 Sp.Def

Snorlax, of course, is my main special 'tank', so to speak. You all know what he does, and how he generally funtion, but I picked him specifially because Gengar annoys me. I need something to hurt it, and Lax is perfect. Well, a lot better than Grumpig, that's for sure. Also stops Heatran cold, although I am sick of Explosion, so I am thinking of using a Dusknoir with Shadow Sneak. I dunno.

Flygon@Choice Scarf
Nature:Naive
Earthquake
FaclonThunderPunch
U-Turn
Draco Meteor
EV:252 Atk, 120 SpA, 136 Spe

He is my, um, revenge killer? I forget the name of the role he plays, but he takes out choice pokemon that would be hard to hurt. He works off powerful moves & type advantages to win. Draco Meteor is the bread n' butter, and it is insanley fun to shout PKAAAAAY...STARSTOOOOOOOORM over voice chat while using it. Earthquake handles a few other pokes weak to Ground. Thunderpunch for Gya.
I chose Naive over Naughty because I need that boost in Speed over power. I'm not sure the degree of consequensis I will face because of it.
He may be the lead.

Lucario@Choice Specs
Nature:Modest
Aura Sphere
Shadow Ball
Vacuum Wave
HP [ICE]
EV:252 Sp.Atk, 252 Spe, 6 Def (DEF FOR MAX POWAH)

Ok, I revised his role. He is now my main sp.attacker. Meant to take out faster threats, he'll be able to hurt many things with a plethora of super effective moves. Shadow Ball over Dark Pulse for the 10% chance of Sp.Defense drop, making it JUST LIKE Skymin. Or something like that.

Gyarados@Life Orb
Nature:Adamant
Waterfall
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Dragon Dance
EV:252 Atk, 252 Spe, 6 Sp.Def (?)

Yeah, her role has also changed. Instead of bulky, she is all offense. She can ravange teams with a single DD. Leafeon can help back it up with Wish if need be, but Stealth Rock is still a B. I may use Bite over EQ if I feel like it, 'cause Starmie gets on my nerves.

(Vileplume pwns all)
Vileplume@Black Sludge
Nature:Calm
AromatherapySubstitute
Sludge Bomb
Sleep Powder
Leech Seed
EV: 244 HP, 142 Sp.Def, 52 Sp.Atk, 36 Def

Yeah. I'll keep Aromartherapy, until I get used to a Restalk Snorlax. When I do, it's SubPlume. DISREGARD Stun Spore is much better than Sleep Powder for the sake of Subseeding, however, once I delete it, it's gone, so I'll use Stun Spore until Ilearn to clone :\ It's all about using what you like to have fun, but making sure it servew some purpose. While I will have an opininated ear to all advice, I won't listen to "remove Plume". Don't waste your time. I'll change Plume's set if need be, however.

I r Uzing teh SUBPLUMEZ


So, this is my current team, whenever I feel like playing again. Since Deo-E has gotten the banhammer, my team is much safer than before. I'm glad I can use a more diverse group of pokes. Might I add, this isn't really for Platinum, but feel free to give some pointers on that metagame as well. Is my team secure from DD Mence?

If the pics are too big, my bad, won't happen again.

Ohai! I take out your entire team bar Snorlax? You don't say!

On a more serious note, this team has major trouble with things like Choice Band Heracross. No solid, set in stone fighting resist means that everything on your team gets worn down by hits from CB Close Combat and Megahorn. It'll only need Stone Edge to really hurt Gyarados, who, with no Defense EVs or even HP EVs (assuming you're using the new 252 Att/252 Spe/6 SpD spread), means it'll never have a joy ride. With Stealth Rock up, even Wish support will fail to be effective as you end up gaining only 25% of your health upon switch in. Plus there's, you know, prediction.

What I would do is replace Specs Lucario for something like Specs Infernape or even Nasty Plot Ape. It lacks the immediate power for greater speed and a STAB Flamethrower to fry Heracross. I would actually use Focus Blast >> Close Combat on Specs Ape, as not only does it do more to everything else, but it still does between 49.77%-58.99% to 0 HP/252 SpD Blissey. Plus Infernape has the awesome Blaze ability, which lets Fire Blast outdamage basically anything Lucario has to offer (for future reference, a Specs Fire Blast from a Blaze activated Infernape does between 59.46%-70.27% to even a Max HP/Max SpD Cresselia.

As for the rest of your team, I don't see why you're using Scarf Flygon, when things like Scarf Salamence or even Scarf Dragonite are better pound for pound bar that STAB Earthquake. I also don't see how well this team handles SubPetaya Empoleon. After an Agility, it has a brutish 480 Speed assuming it runs Max Speed. I don't know if Scarf Flygon reaches that Speed, but if it has a Sub, all it has to do really is just Agility once more as you break the Sub, and then keep Subbing down until it reaches the Petaya Berry and then sweep (ironically, this is where SpecsLuke saves you).

Gyarados @ Life Orb
Adamant
252 Att/252 Spe/6 SpD
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Waterfall

That's the new standard, although without Ice Fang, a lot of bulky Grass types have a field day with it.

 

[sims796]

Both Salamence & Dragonnite are both weak to Stealth Rock, and that kinda puts me off. I use Flygon because he fills the same role those two do, and I like it better. Well, me liking it better is the main reason, honestly. Does Salamence look like a bulimich Yoshi? I think not.

I'm not too worried about CB Heracross. Or most CB'ers. to be honest. Especially one so slow, so to speak. I was thinking of giving Fire Blast back to Flygon for Hera stomping, but I'll think on that. As long as I can outpredict era, I'm cool, but I see why you would show concern. It'll make things more challenging.

However, I was looking into a replacement for Luke. Got any other ideas besides Infernape?

Fair enough, although Flygon sucks :P

Eh, I'd be VERY worried about something such as CB Heracross, who can 1-2HKO your entire team if it predicts right. SD Luke is also a problem when I think about it, although not that much of a problem.

You suck D; Infernape would fit nicely.

Well, if you're into that...using lower tier things, Nasty Plot Toxicroak could work. I don't know what to suggest for you.

 

[sims796]

That's if i I predict very poorly to let that happen. It has the potential to take out my whole team, but not with a single move. I just need to play correctly. Now, SD Hera might make me worry a bit. So I might either give Fire Blast back to Yoshi, or just swap out Lucario.

I'm using Flygon because it is resistant to Stone Edge & Stealth Rock, which causes me headaches. I don't like having too many pokes weak to Stealth Rock, it doesn't suit me. And I do like U-Turn, for whatever the reason.


As I said before, don't worry if I would like the suggestion, I just asked to hear them. This is the internets. For all you know, I ain't using any of them :laugh:. Of course, I would like to hear them all out.

I make odd pokemon choices not to try & be different, or unique, but because I play for fun. Why else would I use Plume over any other choices? If it starts to get boring, then it ain't for me.

Now, any other replacement ideas for a special sweeper that can stop Hera? Infernape is one, any others?

I am limiting you, however, with no legendaries. Those...I do not care for.

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

One side note... Why is Leafeon Timid?

 

[sims796]

Ok, which mod changed my title? I bet it was D_A. He's jealous of my cookie recipe, but he's not getting the secret ingredient. I'll get first place in this year's bake-off again.

Regardless, I fixed up the minor details in the first post.

I'm still looking for sugestions to beat Hera more easily. I might give Fire Blast to Flygon, over T-Punch, but I still wanna replace Lucario with another Sp.offense. Not one that's Weavile weak, of course.

EDIT:...

...

That's a low blow, modz :(

And this is something that Dark Asself says constantly, and I couldn't agree more.

oK, THATS IT, BAD TEEM 4/1 DEWD.


But really i dont think you need aroma on plume since you have a status absorber in lax and i feel the slot could be put to better use.


Quick make Lucario modest before anyone sees !! =p.

Scarf flygon is poop (Ask tb, scarf draco meteor doesnt OHKO standard Gengar rofflies).


The lack of SR here is kinda meh... it REALLY helps. You know...i was thinking some sort of scarfer with SR in its set would be cool, something physical though since Gyara is your only physical sweeper so it would even things out. You know the stuff im on about aka a random scarf Ape with SR/CC/Stone Edge/Flare Blitz =3.


AZELF WEAK.Yes i went there..

F U. I am NOT a Peach Princess...I like Daisy :'(

Ok, I'm slightly confuszuld.

For one, I'm gonna use Substitue over Aroma on Plume.

Second, now that I think of it, the whole reason I got Flygon was to better counter dragons that ALWAYS got on my nerves, but if 2/3 recommended raters tells me to lose him, so be it. A random SR setter upper, huh? Anything else besides Nape?

I don't remember me sayin Draco Meteor beetz Gengar. What's wrong, too much cake in ur ears? Yeah, I said it, tubby. Lookin' like-a Wario before the sex change.
