Can anyone suggest a tanking Mesprit set?

Mesprit @Leftovers
252 HP / 164 Def / 94 sp.Def
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock / Thunderwave
- Reflect
- Thunderbolt / Psychic
- Ice Beam / Psychic

Last 2 slots depend on what you want to counter, T-Bolt hits Gyarados, Ice Beam hits dragons and Psychic hits Infernape and other fighters.

Reflect stops pursuit and provides team support.

I'd use BotlBeam for counter Mesprit since Infernape doesn't have a hard time getting by Mesprit and Thunder Wave/Reflect is enough Heracross nerfing.

Scizor @ LO:Technician
Adamant - 30HP:240Atk:240Spe
X-Scissor
Brick Break
Bullet Punch/Aerial Ace
Swords Dance

I decided to start making a new team and this guy was something I thought of. Not the best Physical Sweeper but current testing (with Aerial Ace) shows that it's not too bad. The EV's are based around it's IV's and I tried to make this not copying anything off the internet. So it's just something I'm using as a Physical Sweeper instead of the standard BatonPassing Scizor. Please LMK if there's anything I could fix up.

This set is actually quite common on platifail. Bullet Punch greatly exceeds aerial ace. If you want more survivability, go 252 HP/252 Atk/6Spe Adamant and run Roost>>X-Scissor. This set looks good though.

Why over its secondary STAB? Steels like Skarmory wall it regardless of its fighting attack and X-Scissor does more to Bronzong and Metagross anyways. Yea, Heatran sucks, but it usually comes in on revenge anyways when you're helpless. Losing X-Scissor makes it horrible bulky water bate.

Does anyone have an idea for an Aggron geared toward tanking?

sludge bomb hits what hp fire hits and has poor coverage..i suggest a status move.
and if its setting up sunnyday for the whole team then i suggest heat rock otherwise leftys is fine.

 

[Shiny]

Also, could I get a Cherrim moveset please

 

[dark_seeker]

cherrim@heat rock
modest

Since you have cherrim setting up sunny day on this team (if they're gonna be on the same team), why not go for a more sweepish Bellossom set? you could go Solarbeam or Leaf Storm/HP Fire/ Sleep Powder/ Stun Spore or Grass Knot.

I'm still deciding which pokemon I'll have on my team, I only have Beautifly, Claydol & Cherrim at the moment, I'm considering Bellossom & Jynx, but then if I add Bellossom, half my team would be super effective against fire, poison & bug types

 

[devilicious]

If you're even seriously considering a team with Beautifly and Cherrim, then your other three Pokémon could just be Magikarp, Metapod and Kakuna and it wouldn't make a diference.

In other words, no.

 

[Shiny]

I play with the Pokemon I like, they just happen to be the worse ones in your books

 

[devilicious]

If you play with the Pokémon you like, why are you asking for opinions?

I have nothing against people who use their favorites, but I don't see why your team weakness would matter if you're just playing for fun with the Pokémon you like the most.

Again, I have nothing against that kind of teams, but still.

 

[ABYAY]

Regardless, the team is still targeting a competitive area, and I could see some viability in UU with this.

Sunny Day teams are rare to see, but they can bring some serious threats to some teams, especially Rain Dance teams if you get the sun up. If you're using Cherrim, I strongly suggest you going with a doubles team since Cherrim is only real useful at that point.

I'm not experienced in double battles, so I'll leave that to someone else. If it's for single, I would urge away from Cherrim and use Meganium or something (if you like it; they're about the same anyway) The Cherrim set above is your best bet with it.

So if something like Infernape shows up do you just hope it has Specs'd Nasty Plot or how does that work out?

Mono grass isn't going to work. Throw in a fire-type or two...I don't know, Sunny Day teams just don't work in OU battles much at all so you might as well have fun with the team.
