OU: Revamped

[Amore]

Revamp of an old team, this....

So, generally the team works, but I thought I'd update it from the September '09 original:

Azelf @ Focus Sash
Jolly

252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Hp

Taunt
Detect
Stealth Rock
Explosion

Well, Detect is useful, as I can scout for a priority move, then switch, keeping my Focus Sash to come in slightly later on, and either SR, Detect again, or Explode. I basically ran a gimmick-ish set like this as STAB Psychic hits nothing except Aerodactyl, who is widely unused anyway....

Jolteon @ Expert Belt
Timid

252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Def

Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Hidden Power Grass
Baton Pass

This thing works quite well in combination with Vaporeon, absorbing the Electric attacks sent at it to heal its' hp. It's also extremely fast and powerful, with decent coverage. Expert Belt sacrifices a bit of a boost for a slight boost in staying power....although Jolteon isn't exactly bulky, so Life Orb is an option...

@ Leftovers
Bold

188 Hp / 252 Def / 68 Spe

Surf
Ice Beam
Protect
Wish

Pretty solid member, checks Mence, provides healing for team members with Wish, basically, useful.

@ Life Orb
Adamant

252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpD

Close Combat
Swords Dance
Ice Punch
Extremespeed

Not so sure....possibly considering moving for a Swords Dance Scizor, and a different revenge killer. When it pulls it off, this thing is deadly. However, that is rare.

@ Choice Band
Adamant

252 Hp / 252 Atk / 4 SpD

Superpower
Bullet Punch
Pursuit
U-Turn

I traded the speed for a tiny ounce more endurace. After all, it ain't really outspeeding much, is it?

@ Life Orb
Timid

252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Hp

Shadow Ball
Hidden Power Fire
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast

I'm finding more and more people unprepared for this threat....to tell the truth, I was finding myself unprepared...I guess Scizor kinda killed it. So, I came back, stuck it into my team, and it works!


So, there's the team....

My only ideas for change are SD Scizor > SDLucario and ???? > CBScizor.

Any opinions?

Azelf @ Focus Sash
Naive

252 SAtk / 252 Spe / 4 Att

Taunt
Psychic
Stealth Rock
Explosion

I basically ran a gimmick-ish set like this as STAB Psychic hits nothing except Aerodactyl, who is widely unused anyway....

1.

| 2 | Aerodactyl | 64645 | 6.04 |

2. Stab Psychic hits Roserade, Infernape, beats Aero if it Taunts you first turn and really nails neutral targets such as Swampert and Rotom.

Jolteon @ Expert Belt
Timid

252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Def

Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Hidden Power Grass
Baton Pass

Uh ok..

@ Leftovers
Bold

252 Hp / 252 Def / 4 Spe

Surf
Hidden Power Electric
Protect
Wish

It doesnt check mence. Mence 2hko's with any of its popular sets. :/ Use it as a Gyara check since it doesn't totally fail at that. That many speed evs are pointless too, it NEEDS the hp to beat Mixape..

@ Life Orb
Adamant

252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpD

Close Combat
Swords Dance
Crunch / Stone Edge
Extremespeed

Ice Punch blows. Hard.

@ Choice Band
Adamant

248 Hp / 252 Atk / 8 Speed

Superpower
Bullet Punch
Pursuit
U-Turn


8 speed evs beat Vappy and all the stuff that haver around that. 248 > 252 HP and it lets you switch into SR more times as it round down damage.

@ Life Orb / Leftovers
Timid

252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Hp

Shadow Ball
Hidden Power Fire / Pain Split.
Subsitute
Focus Blast

T-Bolt sucks, doesnt hit anything use sub so you arent Pursuit bait.

ONLY use Life Orb with Pain Split or you pwn yourself.

Comments in bold.

Ill come back to point out weaks in a bit. When im less tired.

Either way this seems like random pokes slapped together with no goal in mind or synergy. You need a strategy.
