New OU Team

[Faceless*]

If this team is Gengar weak then Gengar should be uber. Meaning Spiritomb smashes Gengar...Gengar is terrible with Psychic anyways.

Also, only Blissey special walling isn't a good idea, you need the fighting immunity and Azelf/Gengar/Medicham counter big time. This team would be lost without that little ghost, keep it.

You could run Choice Band Snorlax if you want. It can take special hits and really packs a punch with STAB CB Return.

...

Wow, can you not comprehend my posts?

I said that a Gengar running that moveset would cripple this team, not PLZ USE DIS MOVESET.


And Anti-Pop, Gengar runs Psychic better than most Psychic type pokemon, due to the high Special Attack he has and Life Orb.
STAB is made up for with Life Orb...

You're the one to speak :o

Psychic is a complete waste of moveslot on Gengar, no lies at all here. Psychic has 0 coverage, does NOT get a STAB boost and is weaker than Shadow Ball, why use Psychic?

Lmfao, lern2reed kiddos

And you think I can't read.. why? My point was, getting rid of Shadow Ball is no. And seriously, no-one would be dumb enough to use a Gengar moveset WITHOUT STAB. Also, Isn't the bolded statement sterotyping kids?

Oh lawdy, please forgive me for I am about to choke you out..

I know it isn't a good moveset, I wouldn't run it, but if you do ever see it (and I have...) then he's in for a world of hurt.

Anyways...

@Dani_X; The breloom lead still gives your team a weakness to ice, to flying, and to psychic, although Spirit can deal with the latter. I'd consider running something that can stop ice and flying, like a bulky Regice? I use one as a lead.

EV Spread looks like 252 HP / 204 Def / 54 Sp. Atk
Bold Nature
-Counter
-Ice Beam
-Tbolt
-Twave

Works well.

What's funny is that you were wrong anyways considering Gengar can't do anything to Spiritomb lol. If Gengar can KO it with HP Ice and and Dark Pulse, again, it should be uber.

Also, I'm no fan of counter Regice. It's pretty much a waste, and most physical attacks will either OHKO you or will hurt so little that counter won't even OHKO.

EDIT: As far as your claim goes that Gengar shreds this team apart, when it clearly doesn't with Spiritomb here. HP Ice and Dark Pulse do no significant damage.

Should I insert Empoleon as special wall?

 

[Nightofshadow]

Empoleon isnt that good of a special wall tbh, No real self regenerative moves and Rest talk isnt the best idea to have on him. Using him as something of a sponge, maybe. Not a full blown wall

 

[sims796]

I second this, only because it's weak to some common moves, and cannot heal itself. I thought it was always a sponge.

 

[Dani_X]

I'm testing ResTTalk Snorlax >> Hariyama, and it's doing quite well. Should i switch ?

EDIT : Heatran should fit well here, over Starmie?

EDIT 2 : I'm getting all walked over by physical attackers. Should I switch out Weezing for a stronger wall, like Forry or Gliscor?
