My team is metagame weak and awful and horrific. (Contains ugly magnet)

    Yeah, it all started with me trolling D_A's birthday thread (Mr.Troll), he then proceeded to smash my team by giving it a title only he, BB, and Smarties could reverse. Rya (BeachBoy) decided to give me the lame title. Thus, I'm kind of freaked out about having D_A approving my RMT, so I'm posting this while he's drinking cherry wine (kekeke) or sleeping. So Rya can approve it, I'm sure he's nicer. :D

    tldr version: D_A and Rya teamed up to troll my RMT. =(


    (I've been doodling with fonts and sprites, but the site I moved to for sprites exploded or something. So bear with me kekeke. =3)

    This team was trying to use sets or pokes I didn't use, although only 2 pokes (or formes) on this team haven't been used by me. I also am tempted to use female Machamp just to laugh at all those people who call it their favorite Poke. >=)

    Oh, I have a few comments on those sprites. For one, Deoxys-S and Rotom-W were a pain to find sprites for, somewhat. (AAA LAZY LALA UBAR) One should also note those arms on Machamp, the higher ones, look like they're coming from its HEAD. That's just insane, no questions asked. Now before I drift off and keep ranting about how it was a tad harder to find some sprites or that one looks ridiculous (looking about you Machamp), I shall start with the RMT.

    Deoxys-e @ Light Clay
    Ability: Pressure
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 Spd
    Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Taunt: Pushes back assault from Suicide Leads, those annoying threats may not be ignored.
    - Reflect: Continues to make a barrier for physical attacks, Rotom can now be a bit more free in taking those attacks from physical sweepers.
    - Recover: Good old stalling days, when Anti was the Obi of PC.
    - Stealth Rock: Since Suicide Leads insist on using SR, so does Deoxys. It's also deadly since this team could really love some pushes on specific Poke's HP. (Bronzong, among other things, is doomed after SR with Fire Fang's

    Deoxys-S ( or E) is the only Deoxys form in OU, and I simply can't resist not using it, thanks to RYA. Thanks to Rotom, there's one free slot for Recover kekeke. =3 It's my style of conserving space, and proud of it I am, my good sir.

    Rotom-w @ Leftovers
    Ability: Levitate
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SAtk
    Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
    - Hydro Pump: Destroys Ground types and also 2HKOs Heatran. This is a valuable move, a chunk of why I chose this Rotom "forme" over the others.
    - Shadow Ball: Hits Ghost types and things, cannot deny this is irreplaceable.
    - Light Screen: Helps free 1 move slot on Deoxys-S, and helps this team take special hits. There's a lack of special walling somewhat, admittedly.
    - Discharge: Spreads some lovely status around, helps CB Mence and Shaymin spread some pain.

    Shaky Gyarados counter, but nonetheless, it deserves a try. It also earns points for looking like a transformed nerd. 8D

    Shaymin @ Leftovers
    Ability: Natural Cure
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Spd/4 SAtk
    Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Seed Flare: AHAHAHA PUNY NON-RESISTANTS, EAT STAB.
    - Leech Seed: Makes sheep evil, therefore needed.
    - Substitute: SubSeed, makes Grass Sheep evil, therefore a neccesity.
    - Hidden Power [Fire] / Earth Power: The former hits enemy Grass-types. But, Earth Power makes sure Heatran does NOT just switch in for free fearing little from Leech Seed. Which shall I choose... >:<

    GRASS SHEEP!!! Seriously, Shaymin Land Forme does have some traits over Skymin. First, it is not weak to Stealth Rock and has 25 more Def and SDef than Skymin. That is more than enough to convince me, especially since I've never used this Shaymin and it's cute. <3

    Salamence (M) @ Choice Band
    Ability: Intimidate
    EVs: 80 HP/252 Atk/176 Spd
    Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Fire Fang: It does more to Bronzong than Fire Blast, so hence is worthy enough to be used. (10th most used poke on standard Smogon Ladder, more common than Skarmory, which is 28th most used lol.)
    - Earthquake: Completely gives Heatran no room to just counter this Mence set or in general non-Levitating or Flying type Steels. (Who would think it did anyway. o_0)
    - Dragon Claw: Early game STAB, doesn't just lock it in to be ripped apart by Hidden Power Ice Scarf Heatran or Scizor's Bullet Punch to bring forth Mence's unfortunate doom. .
    - Outrage: Only to be used when ALL Steels have been exterminated. Still a powerful STAB, of course. If I make a misclick and punch this in, I would still be ridiculously happy for some reason.

    (Meant to anger people who usually expect MixMence on me. HAHAHA ;)) CBMence actually has a rather strong STAB these days, since Tyanitar's strongest STAB was Stone Edge (100 BP), Heracross has Close Combat (120 BP), and Dragonite completely shined over it somewhat with both Outrage and Dragon Dance. (120 BP + stat boost) Compared to Mence's rather weak Dragon Claw (80 BP), they were all giggling. Of course, Nintendo used their Fist of Metagame Ruining and sent forth Outrage (120 BP, obviously) to Mence.

    Suicune @ Leftovers
    Ability: Pressure
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SAtk
    Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
    - Calm Mind: Hi, Blissey, now I stall you, AND can proceed to sweep the team you are in! Outside of Blissey, it almost makes that 216 SAtk not do just 2 to everything.
    - Sleep Talk: Sleep Talk makes it not just set-up fodder while sleeping, things cannot afford to spend those turns so recklessly these days.
    - Rest: Makes sure the barrier Suicune gives does not crumble when at low HP.
    - Surf: If it were to have Toxic / RestTalk / Calm Mind or any other set without offensive moves, that would be just insanity to no end. ._. Being STAB, it's quite obvious this would be used, really.

    The tendancy for people to use offensive style teams is incredibly high, so CroCune has lost its touch as most popular, you'll most likely see Sub CM or LO CM Cune these days. I've never really used CroCune to much success either, so it counts. =D Really, it's a stalling beast, even if its defenses are not as strong a barrier as the golden times. (RSE, obviously.)

    Machamp (M) @ Choice Band
    Ability: Guts
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
    Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Close Combat: Hi, my name is 120 BP STAB move that can rip a hole in anything not resisting me. Need I say more?
    - Thunderpunch: Gyarados can go drown, Thunderpunch will rip a hole in its incredibly long body.
    - Payback: ROFL Ghost-types besides Spiritomb, which still can't do much to it. Makes sure Dusknoir and friends don't really you know, just make Machamp look like a laughingstock of the village.
    - Ice Punch: The famed Salamence that's increasing in usage may NOT be allowed to switch in for free, or else it can just go DD up. If it's CB, the chance of just completely pummeling the team's defenses is somewhat easy. (Deoxys-S is not carrying Ice Beam, but there's a slight chance it will.)

    Need a check for Tyranitar? GOGOGO CBMACHAMP! Seriously, this is a beast that one cannot deny can rip a hole in their teams if given the ticket to switch in. I still think its sprite is just like ridiculous. :3

    Doesn't D_A have the capability to alter your title to 'My team is metagame weak' lol?

    Anyway, I'd go for Earth Power on Shaymin, as Heatran is extremely common.
