    Not a joke title this time, seriously has a bad Raikou weak. I have no access to smogon or NB so somethings will be left blank.


    Heracross (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Guts
    EVs: 140 HP / 164 Atk / 204 Spd
    Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
    - Hidden Power [Rock]
    - Megahorn
    - Rest
    - Sleep Talk

    The speed lets it outrun random stuff. Like DeeDeeMince.

    Claydol (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Levitate
    EVs: Prolly 236-252 HP and whatever else I need
    Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
    - Light Screen
    - Rapid Spin
    - Dunno Yet
    - Dunno Yet

    Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Torrent
    EVs: 176 HP / 16 Atk / 120 Def / 96 SAtk / 100 SDef
    Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
    - Earthquake
    - Hydro Pump
    - Ice Beam
    - Protect

    I dun think those are the EVs I have on file, but it's pretty close iirc.

    Articuno @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: Need some help on this. Prefreably something that can 60% Celebi.
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
    - Ice Beam
    - Rest
    - Roar
    - Toxic / Heal Bell

    Don't u just hate that not all servers have XD mods? .-.

    Forretress (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Sturdy
    EVs: 252 HP / 52 Atk / 204 Def
    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
    - Counter
    - Earthquake
    - Protect
    - Spikes

    Ooohh, that's why I have Claydol.

    Dusclops (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: 252 HP / 56 Atk / 160 Def / 40 SDef
    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
    - Focus Punch
    - Pain Split
    - Shadow Ball
    - Substitute

    I've grown quite attacthed to this.

    Perhaps I can beat Raikou if Claydo's Light Screen holds out, but other than that, Heracross will just have to hit it hard as a leadoff. So, rate n' fix plz.
     
    I like metagross on any team w/ arti..Just for the solid rock resistance.Claydol can hinder raikou a bit.But he isnt really a counter.Snorlax > dusclops


    Articuno @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 16 Spd / 56 SAtk / 128 SDef
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
    - Ice Beam
    - Rest
    - Roar
    - Sleep Talk


    Those SpAtt EVs will let it do between 50 and 60% damage to the avg celebi.
    And even if celebi has max hp and max Spdef EVs [won't happen] it'll still do between 40 and 50%.

    And then it can't acheive it's purpose of actually blocking attacks while attempting to hit. HP Rock isn't going to achieve anywhere near a OHKO ,especially after Intimidate (in fact, with Jolly, you're looking at a 4HKO after Intimidate, damage calc it =/) and then Mence just laughs at you. Go back to Adamant, 240 speed, rest in SDef and Atk.

    Yes, I'm whoring Protect on things now. But only because with these kind of pogeyz, it actually works. =)

    Looks fine to me.

    Give me your sample Celebi, and I'll give you an EV spread. I tried a spread involving 400 HP and 265 SDef, took about 290 SAtk to do 57-67% (thus guaranteeing a 2HKO), so you can work from there depending on what you need.

    This looks so similar somehow... >_>

    Hi Dugtrio. Thar be the answer to your team's problem. I can't see anything else significant atm, other than the fact I think Articuno, while cool, is a bit overrated.

    Celebi @ Leftovers
    Trait: Natural Cure
    EVs: 240 HP / 132 Def / 136 SDef or Spd
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
     
    I'm going to base this solely off Celebi running SDef. Guarantees a 2HKO, even with Lefties recovery.

    With Bold:
    Articuno @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: 124 HP / 112 Def / 188 SAtk / 84 SDef
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)

    With Modest:
    Articuno @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: 124 HP / 196 Def / 92 SAtk / 96 SDef
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

    With Calm:
    Articuno @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: 124 HP / 196 Def / 188 SAtk
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
