    Magikarp is better then Arceus(OU RMT)

    Written By Pokedra

    BACKGROUND INFO
    I was bored and started constructing a team on Shoddy and I'm gonna post it up so you can rate it.

    THE TEAM

    Lead

    [PokeCommunity.com] Magikarp is better then Arceus(OU RMT)

    Aerodactyl@ Focus Sash
    EV : 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Jolly Nature

    Taunt
    Stealth Rock
    Earthquake
    Stone Edge


    Suicide Aero, he gets the rocks up and stops other leads like Azelf getting them up. Ice Fang is good for hurting Heatran and Metagross. Stone Edge offers reliable and powerful STAB move.

    Special Sweeper/Baton Passer

    [PokeCommunity.com] Magikarp is better then Arceus(OU RMT)

    Jolteon@ Leftovers
    EV : 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
    Timid Nature

    Substitute
    Hidden Power(Ice)
    Thunderbolt
    Baton Pass

    Fast and can Baton Pass Substitute's to the other members of my team. HP Ice kils off any Salamence, Flygon and hits Breloom and Celebi reasonably hard.

    Special Sweeper

    [PokeCommunity.com] Magikarp is better then Arceus(OU RMT)

    Empoleon@ Life Orb
    EV : 24 HP/252 SpA/232 Spe
    Modest Nature

    Agility
    Hydro Pump
    Ice Beam
    Grass Knot

    I got raped by one of these once so I decided to try using an Empoleon. Agility boosts Empoleon's medicore speed and then he sweeps with his three attacks. Hydro Pump is less accurate then Surf but it manages to OHKO Ttar if Stealth Rock is up. Ice Beam is for Dragon-types and Grass Knot is to hit fellow Waters.

    Physical Sweeper

    [PokeCommunity.com] Magikarp is better then Arceus(OU RMT)

    Scizor@ Choice Band
    EV : 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Adamant Nature

    U-Turn
    Bullet Punch
    Superpower
    Pursuit

    CB Scizor, revenge kills stuff like Latias, Gengar and can pick off Salamence if it's taken Stealth Rock damage. Superpwoer for Blissey and Ttar and Pursuit is to pick off things as they switch.

    Dual-Screener

    [PokeCommunity.com] Magikarp is better then Arceus(OU RMT)

    Latias@ Leftovers
    EV : 252 HP/4 Def/252 Spe
    Timid Nature

    Reflect
    Light Screen
    Wish
    Dragon Pulse

    Support Latias, something it does much better then Latios due to her better bulk. Bring her in after Aero goes down and get both screens up(or sometimes just one) then Wish and pulls out. Dragon Pulse is for if I fear getting Taunted.

    Physical Sweeper
    [PokeCommunity.com] Magikarp is better then Arceus(OU RMT)

    Kingdra@ Life Orb
    EV : 6 HP/252 ATK/252 SPE
    Adamant Nature

    Dragon Dance
    Outrage
    Waterfall
    Yawn

    I love Kingdra. DD Kingdra is deadly and with one DD it can do alot of damage. Dragon+Water is a fearsome STAb combo resisted by few and Yawn is incase I sense a counter is coming. When the counter comes it, it either
    A.) Switches out letting me have a free DD
    B.) Attacks and falls asleep letting me DD again provided Kingdra survives.


    Rate and review please!
    Thanks!

    lol.

    But seriously imma have to close one if they start cluttering stuff up.


    Also, ughh this is the third time ive said this, this week alone.

    "If Blissey gets in a DD has T-Wave/Flamethrower/S-Toss/Softboiled, you are 6-0'd"


    Needs more physical power imo, JUST Scizor (who dies to t-wave and flamethrower) and the tendancy for Aero to not last long past the first 2 turns and Explosion being really predictable isnt gonna work.

    I actually have quite a few suggestions:

    Aerodactyl: Ok, Salamence and Gliscor are rarely seen as leads iirc, so Ice Fang isn't needed. However, Heatran and Metagross are much more common as leads, so Earthquake would be a better option to hit them with.

    Jolteon and Empoleon: Ok...

    Scizor: This guy is usually a hit-and-run poke, so I would run U-Turn and Superpower>> Brick Break and X-Scissor. I get your point on the stat drops from Superpower, but Scizor switches out a lot, especially CB variants, so the stat drops don't mean anything.

    Latias: Sure

    Bronzong: I feel that Zong is dead weight on this team. As D_A said, Blissey can easily outstall your team. Another physical sweeper is needed IMO. I think the best option for this team is a SD Luke. It keeps your rock resist in place, and loves the Screens from Latias and passed Subs from Jolteon. I would run the standard CC/ X-Speed/ Stone Edge or whatever the standard SD Luke is these days.
     
    I know, yeah I'm adding Superpower on to Scizor but I'll keep X-Scissor for the extra power. I admit I haven't seen too many Mence leads so I'm changing Aero to Earthquake and Bronzong isn't exactly dead weight. He can double status which helps me quite a bit but I'll consider adding Luke.

    U-Turn is a MUST on CB Scizor. It's kind of like Outrage on DDmence - you ALWAYS use it. The extra power barely helps and CB Scizor is a scouter more often than not. X-Scissor is still easy to wall, but U-Turn lets you escape. It's pretty much always superior =\

    I also disagree about Bronzong. There are much better Pokemon for spreading status anyway. I don't agree with using SDLuke since it's basically Scizor with SD instead of CB, lol (as in, Blissey still owns it with Thunder wave and/or Flamethrower). That being said, you probably could use a stat-up sweeper since you have immediate SR but nothing that really takes advantage of it...
     
    Hmmm....I'll replace Bronzong with DD Kingdra as I also use that on my other team and I love it :)

    Yeah I'll use U-Turn on Scizor. It still has pretty good power and scouting with it helps.
