Thx for helping. U're pretty fast....
I do what I can:
Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Focus Punch
- Hidden Power [Bug]
- Rock Slide
Showing up in a lot of teams today.
Gengar (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 44 HP / 216 Def / 108 Spd / 140 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hypnosis
- Ice Punch
- Thunderbolt
- Will-O-Wisp
I stole these EVs. Apparently you can survive Dragon Danced hits from Gyarados and Salamence and OHKO them the next turn.
Forretress (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 64 Atk / 192 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Rest / Explosion / Hidden Power [Bug/Steel]
- Spikes
Rest was my first option, earlier in the team building, but as you look further down, your other options might serve you just as well.
Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 240 HP / 40 Def / 56 Spd / 36 SAtk / 136 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Heal Bell / Hidden Power [Grass]
- Psychic
- Recover
- Reflect
If you think the team can stand on its own, go with Hidden Power [Grass] over Heal Bell. the SAtk might not be necessary, you can flood that into more Def or SDef. It's also a good idea, in some cases, to thin out the EVs a bit more to give it a 270-271 Speed stat, if you'd like.
Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP / 228 Def / 40 SAtk
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
The cool versions of Swampert use even more defense, now that Tyranitar is just screwing up the metagame again. You can also use Earthquake, Ice Beam, Roar, Protect/Hydro Pump. Stops Salamence and Tyranitar cold, as far as countering Dragon Dancers. We can let Gengar handle Gyarados with its surprise Defense stat.
Articuno @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 64 Spd / 56 SAtk / 136 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Ice Beam
- Roar / Heal Bell
If you have Swampert Roaring, you can use this as a Heal Beller instead (Heal Bell wakes it up when it uses it during Sleep Talk :D). Remember Heal Bell is an XD Mod for Articuno
Still a bit boring and standard, but at least it's flexible and solid. You shouldn't have any real problems with Swords Dancers, as Gengar can disable most of the common ones, while stuff like Ninjask and Scizor can easily be Roared away.
Hope this helps.
