Again, I was toying with ideas. However, these are sets I'll likely use for seperate teams on WiFi.

Plutoface (Deoxys-S) @ Light Clay
Pressure
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
EV's: 252 HP, 4 Def, 252 Spe
-Stealth Rock
-Taunt
-Reflect
-Light Screen

Why are they considering putting this thing in Ubers? Its attacking stats are subpar in comparison to its brethren, and honestly, I won't be able to use this set after just EV'ing it. :(

Regardless, predictable lead is predictable. Taunt is so attacking pokes don't set up on me, dual screening is obvious, and SR is filler.
DON'T BAN THIS ;(

Tweety (Zapdos) @ Leftovers
Pressure
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
EV's: 252 HP, 220 Defense, 36 Speed (temp EV spread for now)
-Roost
-Discharge
-HP Ice
-Toxic / Heat Wave

The standard "Defensive Roost" Zapdos. Discharge is taken over Thunderbolt because I personally like Discharge's stopping power better. It can help destroy DDancers such as Kingdras without Subs, Gyarados, and, if I'm lucky enough to live, DDTar. Toxic is for DP WiFi, Heat Wave is for Platinum Shoddy.

Solace (Suicune) @ Leftovers
Pressure
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
EV's: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 4 Speed
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-HP Electric
-Surf

RestTalkCune. Roar is chosen over HP Electric because I can phaze easier. Walls make it sort of difficult to keep setup pokes away, so Cune can just switch into status or after a kill, and Roar away anything annoying it, or Surf it to death. I'm worried about Seed Bomb from Skymin for the Platinum version, but that's honestly about it, and even then, between Suicune and Zapdos, it can be Pressure-Stalled out of its abysmal PP.

Incinerate (Heatran) @ Choice Scarf
Flash Fire
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
EV's: 4 HP, 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed
-Fire Blast
-HP Ice
-Earth Power
-Explosion

Standard stuffs is standard. Revenge killer, you've seen this a billion times before, blah.

LittleOne (Azelf) @ Life Orb
Levitate
Timid Nature (-Atk, +Spe)
EV's: 36 HP, 252 SpA, 220 Spe
-Nasty Plot
-Flamethrower
-Psychic
-HP Fighting

I actually managed to get Azelf with a 64-power HP Fighting, which was nice. NP sweeper; Psychic for STAB, Flamethrower for Heracross and others who bug me, and HP Fighting for Tyranitar and some others.

Octagonapus (Machamp) @ Choice Band
Guts
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
EV's: 128 HP, 252 Attack, 128 Speed
-Close Combat
-Ice Punch
-Thunderpunch
-Payback

Took D_A's always helpful advice, dropping CBHera for CBChamp. CC for STAB, Ice/TPunch for coverage, and Payback to cover Ghosts and Psychics, and to capitalize on switching into Thunder Wave from Cress or other walls.

So, let me know what you think! ;)

Gyarados weak

The standard "Defensive Roost" Zapdos. Discharge is taken over Thunderbolt because I personally like Discharge's stopping power better. It can help destroy DDancers such as Kingdras without Subs, Gyarados, and, if I'm lucky enough to live, DDTar. Toxic is for DP WiFi, Heat Wave is for Platinum Shoddy

It Ohko's Zappy after a DD w/ LO Stone Edge. Put Hidden power Electric >>Roar on Cune to solve this.


And there is no way in hell Zappy has ANY business with DD tar. The rest of your team looses to that btw (Cune looses to tar anyway and everything else gets OHKO'd).

CB Machamp >>CB Cross would help with this somewhat.



I may come back later for a full rate.

Smogon are idiots. This thing isn't uber at all. Set is fine.

Can't see Suikun dealing much damage, but the set is again fine.

Fire Blast instead of Overheat on Tran. Max speed isn't needed. 32 HP/252 SpAtk/224 Spd should suffice.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Set-wise, team seems OK. One physical sweeper who is easily walled though means you may have trouble breaking special walls on Shoddy. I also don't see how you answer CM Mismagius. Also Boah trouble.

*Backs up D_A* Gyarados weak.

 

[DonRoyale]

Edited.

BTW, DT, I put max Speed in order to outspeed other Scarftran.
(And I sigged that winsome metagame bit :D)

Does this at all help my weaknesses?

 

[DarkTyphlosion157]

You could always quote it, but its fine as it is I guess.

HP Electric over Roar fixes your Gyara weak as D_A said, Machamp over Heracross gives you a Fighting 'mon and a T-Tar counter. Yes, D_A also said that, but IMO its good advice for the team.

 

[DonRoyale]

See, I tried quoting it, but it got all wierd. The quote tags were dragged to the left of my signature, and they always turned out improperly sized, in the wrong font, and not centered, even though I had it fit for my signature. :S

Fixes done. :)
