New RMT

[altaria221]

Sorry about the last thread guys. Anyways here is a new OU/BL team i compiled. I have tried other teams, but their are sub-par, but i beleive this team has potential.

Suicide Lead
Froslass @focus sash
ability: snow cloak
nature: timid
EV: 252 Sp Atk, 6 Def, 252 Spd
>ice beam
>spikes
>destiny bond
>taunt

Your run of the mill suicide lead, spikes as an entry hazard, taunt to prevent pokemon from setting up on you, ice beam for stab, and destiny bond after the focus sash is used up. Also her typing places her as a rapid spinner resistant pokemon, and after/or if he KO's another teams lead the typing (ice) is bound to bring in steel types which leads me to my next pokemon.

Special Choice Scarf
Togekiss @choice scarf
ability: serene grace
nature: modest
EV: 4 Def, 252 Sp Atk, 252 Spd
>air slash
>aura sphere
>fire blast
>trick

Air slash deals great damamge with STAB, and with serene grace, have very good chance of second effects happening. Aura sphere for coverage. Fire Blast has okay accuracy, but a whopping 60% of burning the opponent. It is kind of worth the loss of accuracy. I have recently started over my XD Gale of Darkness, and gonna soft reset for a good natured togepi with tri attack for this team; however, trick is still decent in screwing over walls

Spinner support/Stealth Rock support
Donphan @leftovers
ability: sturdy
nature: impish
EV: 252 HP, 4 Atk, 252 Def
>stealth rock
>earthquake
>ice shard
>rapid spin

Donphan, with his really high HP and defensive stats he can easily come in set up stealth rock and/or spin away any entry hazards on my side. Earthquake is for solid damage and ice shard for a priority move.

Late Game Sweeper
Empoleon @Petaya Berry
ability: torrent
nature: modest
EV: 12 HP, 12 Def, 252 Sp Atk, 232 Spd
>agility
>surf
>grass knot
>substitute

After the pokemon that resist empoleon are removed from play, empoleon can come in use agility then use substitutes until petaya berry and torrent both activate, then pound away at the opponent. Pretty straight forward.

Nasty Plot Mixed Sweeper
Infernape @Life Orb
ability: blaze
nature: hasty
EV: 64 Atk, 252 Sp Atk, 192 Spd
>nasty plot
>flamethrower
>close combat
>grass knot

Nasty Plot Mixape can put a dent in most pokemon in OU and BL after one Nasty Plot boost. If by some chance two Nasty Plots are used the only things that will defeat this set is life orb recoil, weather effects, priority moves, choice scarf users, or just dang fast pokemon.

Rapid Spin Blocker
Rotom - C @ Leftovers
nature: bold
EV. 252 HP, 168 Def, 88 Speed
>Thunderbolt
>Shadow Ball
>Leaf Storm
>WoW

Can deal powerful hits with Overheat and decent attacks over a period of time with reliable STAB tbolts and shadow balls, and physical sweepers will think twice before switching into a wil-o-wisp.

Also, when im facing a person i use this pokemon over Rotom - C

Spin Blocker/ Gravity
Dusknoir @leftovers
nature: impish
EV. 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Spd
>gravity
>dynamicpunch
>will-o-wisp
>shadow sneak

Causes flying and levitating opponents from switching in due to WoW and spikes damage as well as a very accurate dynamicpunch that causes confusion.

Thanks for taking the time to look over this team. Any substitutions are greatly appreciated because this team was in a sense just thrown together.

6 Pokémon random seem me, and you have an enormous weakness to Fight, thing you for instance do of it of Ninjask? Replace it with a counter for the Fighters.

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

You can't just have 6 random Pokemon thrown together; they have to be able to support and coordinate each other so that one of them can sweep at the end.

 

[altaria221]

I said it is generally, and that is why i am asking for help
I did not look really hard at specific counters, however, i tried to cover each of their main weaknesses
That is why this thread is here, so i can receive help in building a team and receive opinion and ratings

 

[Max™]

I do recall it being said somewhere or wether Im delusional but I think since this is competitive, these teams have to have at least some kind of thought used in the process or else it's exactly what it is, 6 pokemons thrown together, now...moving on to the team itself....

First you actually might want a spin blocker because you don't want your hard work at spikes and SR down just to see it spinned out.

And imo, you could use Focus Blast > Close Combat and run 252/252 on Infernape so you don't have to split the EV's but that may be completely idiotic.

Rotom - H @ Leftovers
252 HP / 168 Def / 88 Speed
Bold
~Thunderbolt / Discharge
~Shadow Ball / Hidden Power [Fight]
~Overheat
~WoW / Reflect
Smogon Standard, blocks rapid spin, and resists the fighting stuff for you

 

[altaria221]

As stated before froslass is a spin blocker, but she won't be around long enough if at all to prevent it.

So i think i will replace with a rotom
However, as i already have an infernape which uses fire type attacks
would mow rotom be better to cover the grass weaknesses of infernape and donphan

 

[Max™]

Errr... wtf?

Just stick to the toaster because you need overheat to hit Skarm when its setting up and to hit Forry when it's spinning / setting up as well.

 

[altaria221]

Thanks for the input guys
My team is almost complete, all done EV training, all that is left is movesets and evolutions
Once again thanks for ya'lls input :)

 

[ShadowRayquaza]

I would get a scizor over your ape because Empoleon and Infernape are supposed to be your sweepers, but they are both special or mostly special. A set SD set would work.

Scizor@leftover/life orb
Adamant nature
EVs:32HP/252Atk/224Spe
-swords dance
-bullet punch
-brick break/superpower
-X-scissor/quick attack/roost(if you have life orb)
