The Lineup
*image removed* *image removed* *image removed* *image removed* *image removed* *image removed*​

*image removed*@ Leftovers
Timid
160 HP/132 SpA/216 Spe
Air Slash
Roost
Hypnosis
Taunt

Comments: One of my favorite leads. I haven't used Crobat before, but now that I have, I've fallen in mad love with it. Fastest Hypnosis and Taunt in the game let me do some nice things, like stopping Bronzong from setting up rocks and such. Roost and Air Slash are there for attacking power and reliable recovery.

*image removed*@ Choice Band
Adamant
244 HP/252 Att/14 Def
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Bullet Punch
Thunderpunch

Comments: CB Metagross is a monster. With 600+ attack and a Base 100 (150 with STAB) that raises attack every once in a while? You had me at 600+ attack! Earthquake is standard, forcing other Metagross' to either switch or take a beastly hit. Bullet Punch makes an excellent priority move that murders things like Deoxys-e. Thunderpunch is there solely for Gyarados.

*image removed*@ Life Orb
Adamant
72 HP/252 Att/186 Spe
Dragon Dance
Ice Fang
Stone Edge
Waterfall

Comments: LO Gyarados is a monstrous physical sweeper that can handle it's counters quite comfortably after a DD. It can 2HKO Celebi with no Reflect with little trouble, Starmie takes about ~87% from a DD Stone Edge. Gyarados has some troubles with bulkier steel types like Skarmory or Bronzong, but ignoring all that, Gyarados is one helluva Pokemon.

*image removed*@ Toxic Orb
Adamant
252 Att/252 Spe/6 HP
Focus Punch
Spore
Substitute
Seed Bomb

Comments: Breloom is here as my main status "absorber" It doesn't absorb status, but it negates it due to Toxic Orb. I'm using a SubSporePuncher, which works wonders. May fit Leech Seed somewhere, but at the moment, it's very stable for me.

*image removed*@ Choice Scarf
Timid
252 SpA/252 Spe/6 HP
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast
HP Ice

Comments: ScarfGar is a wonderful revenge killer that lets me kill a whole bunch of today's threats. It outspeeds things like ScarfChomp, Gyarados after 2 Dragon Dances, even Deoxys-e! It also has the ability to threaten all of them with HP Ice, Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball respectively. This thing boasts unmatched coverage as well, killing nearly everything.

*image removed*@ Leftovers
Bold
252 HP/150 SpD/108 Def
Reflect
Ice Beam
Charge Beam
Moonlight

Comments: Cresselia is my Gyarados/Garchomp counter. EV's make it a mixed wall that gives my team Reflect support. The only wall on my team also needs a recovery move. It finds that in Moonlight, though it's getting quite annoying having Tyranitar's ruining my stall. Ice Beam/Charge Beam to kill the things I counter

 

[Archer]

CROBAT I like your crobat its well trained you can get in and taunt /hypnosis BUT watch out crobat is POISON/FLYING and roost takes out flying so ground is super effective
TYRANATAR it covers a lot of types and has def. and att. there must have been a typo tyranatar with 42 hp???
GYARADOS hmmm ice fang and stone edge cover weaknesses its you might wanna replace waterfall [ does waterfall make u flinch?? if i does keep it] with surf i guess
SNORLAX crunch suprised me but i like it. its good so u dont have just normal attacks its a great wall with leftovers and rest
GENGAR probally my favorite it covers most types and has storng accurate attacks
CELEBI is mostly a healer and it wont do much damage. unless u are going against heavy pkmn then dont keep it

GREAT JOB!!!

You have got to be joking. Read the stickies and understand the Competitive Metagame before making rates, thankyou.

Um, your only answer to Deoxys is Pursuit weak. Keep that in mind.

I can also see Magnezone being a problem purely as an Offensive Threat. Especially if it gets in a Magnet Rise, TTar can't hit it for more than NVE.

TTar is no longer on the team. And the standard Magnezone is 3HKO'd by CB Stone Edge (46% usually)

But yeah, Magnezone has always been a problem. I was thinking Swampert, but over who?

 

[Max™]

You can CBpert over your CBgross to solve your problem but that might create some new problems...

 

[Beginnings]

Well, I kinda noticed you only had one "wall"
and most of the time, Mixed wall are not that good,
you also have a lot of physical sweepers and only 1 special sweeper
I'd recommend taking two of your sweepers out, make Cresselia a special wall or physical wall,
put in another special sweeper, and put in a physical or special wall.

NOTES: All attacking MixApe hits 3/6 of your team for SE damage, probably KOing them when holding LO/Expert Belt, then it's good friend Deoxys - S comes in and destroys the rest of your team, save Cresselia. You might want to fix that.

 

[.]

Walls are overrated. Cresselia is there mostly for a Gyarados counter. I realize Mixape hurts me quite a bit, and I was thinking of Vaporeon over Cresselia.

Gengar does fine as a special sweeper, it revenge kills and sweeps in late game easily.

 

[Skip Shot]

I would actually keep Cress>> Vaporeon. The only way Infernape can do anything significant to Cress is by having S-Claw, which no one uses anymore. Vappy can die to HP Electric. Cress makes a better counter to mixape IMO. Vappy does resist well, due to it being water, but I'd say Cress due to it being able to come in on any of Ape's attacks and not get a bad beating. Vappy can suffer quite a bit from he likes of CC.

Also, this team gets a few mill bonus for using the SubSporePuncher, that;s my lead on my current wi-fi team. It does work wonders, being able to hit everything besides Gar for at least neutral.

Once Breloom is gone, however, Magnezone does give this team trouble, jsut like archer siad earlier. Since most pokes don't care magnet rise, you could go Heatran>> Gross to give you a little more special firepower and OHKO the big alien abducter with either Earth Power or Fire Blast.

However, Heatran opens you up to Deoxys-s, who can go through this team like a crashing X-Wing. You could bring in Bliss and make its sole purpose to counter this, give it the set for the Ice Beam on Chomp KO with a few extra sp. attk EVs and give it Shadow Ball>> Ice Beam. You'll need the sp. attk more to guarantee the OHKO on D-E, as it has more sp. def. bulk than Chomp. Maybe 20 more EVs?

 

[ABYAY]

hardcore, you're forgetting Flamethrower on a very low HP Infernape does massive damage. Shadow Claw would to much LESS than the Flamethrower.

I know this may sound crazy, but be wary of Froslass as it can definitely dish out some damage to your team. (I'm in a Froslass kills things scene right now, so bear with me.)

You've said Magnezone gives problems, so I won't go further into that.

Your current Cressy set can't counter Mixape, but you have Crobat, who can come in on a Close Combat and KO with Air Slash, and you can also send in Gengar on that same CC switch-in.

Very offensive team, and you did beat me with it (although my new team is proving better.)

 

[.]

Froslass is lol. Gengar smacks it around all day.

Magnezone is proving a little less troublesome thanks to Breloom, but it's still pesky nontheless.

 

[Ooka]

Lol, unless it's a set that looks something like this:

Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, Substitute, Destiny Bond. That one will murder you, from what I'm seeing. I believe Metagross is the only one with the ability to kill that.

 

[.]

Metagross is gone at the moment, Heatran is being tested. And that set is very, very easy to take out. If it has a Sub up, Crobat breaks the sub with Air Slash, and Gengar revenge kills it. Or vice versa (or Crobat can just sleep it)

Froslass isn't as big of a problem as you're making it.
