Rila's Pokemon Platinum Team(OU)

[rilari82]

That my first REALLY competitive team:

DryWater?(SWAMPERT)@Lum Berry
Relaxed
240 HP/216 Def/52 SpA
Quake
Ice Beam
Surf
Stealth Rock

I can´t Battle without SR, and Swampert is a great SR standart lead and mixed sweeper, it also have good defensive stats!


PinkOne(Blissey)@Leftovers
Bold
252 HP/252 Def/4 spD
Seismic Toss
T-Wave
Softboiled
Ice Beam

Standart Blissey, the moveset is self-explanatory!


WarpStar(JIRACHI)@Life Orb
Jolly
240 HP/136 Spe/132 Atk
Thunder Punch/Ice Punch/Zen Headbutt
Fire Punch
Wish
Iron Head

Jirachi has good defensive and ofensive stats, and it learn: Iron Head and Zen Headbutt, great STAB moves; Wish to HP recovery and Elemental Punches for a excellent type coverage!


Godzilla(TTar)@Muscle Band
Adamant
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
DDance
Crunch
Stone Edge
Earthquake

After 2 DDance's Ttar, become a monster with some STAB moves and Quake! It also have good defensive stats, in my opinion one of the best physical sweepers in the game!


Roudini(ALAKAZAM)@Choice Scarf
Timid
252 spA/4 HP/252 Spe
Psychic
Signal Beam
Focus Blast
Trick

With Choice Scarf, max EV's on speed and a timid nature, Alakazan can outspeed almost everithing! And a 135 sp. Atk base, turn this poke into a MONSTROUS Sweeoper!


Diesel(ELECTIVIRE)@Expert Belt
Mild
36 Atk/ 252 SpA/ 220 Spe
Thunderbolt
Flamethrower
Quake
Cross Chop

Electivire has a 123 atk Base and 95 Spe/SpA base, and for that reasons Elec is a great Mixed Sweeper; it also has a great type coverage for obvious reasons!

Sorry for my HORRIBLE english(I'm from Brazil!) and NO images! xD

 

[Sebastien Loeb]

In DP Blissey better that she have Calm as personality rather than Bold, if Tyranitar you would like to use it as Dragon Dancer I recommend you to give him Babiri Berry because of the Bullet Puncher that they immediately will arrive to you against after having danced.

DryWater?(SWAMPERT)@Lum Berry

240 HP/216 Def/52 SpA
Quake
Ice Beam
Surf
Stealth Rock

Standard is standard. This will do.

PinkOne(Blissey)@Leftovers
Calm
252 Def/216 SpD/40 SpA
Seismic Toss
T-Wave
Softboiled
Ice Beam/Flamethrower

Standart Blissey, the moveset is self-explanatory!

Calm>Bold in the new standards always. That EV spread allows you to wall more special attacks (Which is its job after all), and it can take one or two physical attacks that aren't fighting type :P Consider Flamethrower over Ice Beam as well. Scizor rarely OHKOs with Bullet Punch, but you will OHKO it with Flamethrower, which is always good.


WarpStar(JIRACHI)@Life Orb
Jolly
240 HP/136 Spe/132 Atk
Thunder Punch/Ice Punch/Zen Headbutt
Fire Punch
Wish
Iron Head

Jirachi has good defensive and ofensive stats, and it learn: Iron Head and Zen Headbutt, great STAB moves; Wish to HP recovery and Elemental Punches for a excellent type coverage!

The main problem here is that you are conflicting two roles for Jirachi. Making it both an offensive Pokemon and a Wish Passer isn't very viable. You need to make it one or the other. Try one of these sets instead:

Jirachi@Choice Scarf
Serene Grace
Jolly Nature
252 Atk/176 Spe/40 HP

• Iron Head
• Ice Punch
• Thunder Punch
• U-Turn/Fire Punch
  

Honestly, Zen Headbutt doesn't provide any coverage options, so it isn't used in this set. although it can be used over one of the elemental punches if you really want to. The Flinch Hax from Iron Head and fantastic scouting early-game from U-Turn is good too. You can use Fire Punch to kill Scizor as well. Serves as a good revenge killer.

Jirachi @Leftovers
Serene Grace
Impish Nature
240 HP/160 Def/76 SpD/32 Spe

• Wish
• Body Slam/Thunder Wave/Thunder
• U-Turn
• Iron Head/Ice Punch

Standard Wish Passing Jirachi. Wish for the obvious lol, and U-Turn for switching while leaving damage, although you'll be better off just flat out switching in some situations. The second and last slots are a toss up. With Serene Grace, Body Slam will have a greater chance to paralyze, and it deals damage. Thunder Wave can be used to ensure it. Thunder is the same as Body Slam, and there is a little surprise factor (Not that it helps much XD). Iron Head can be used to Paraflinch your opponents, and Ice Punch to kill off some threats like Salamence.

Godzilla(TTar)@Life Orb
Adamant
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
DDance
Crunch
Stone Edge
Earthquake

After 2 DDance's Ttar, become a monster with some STAB moves and Quake! It also have good defensive stats, in my opinion one of the best physical sweepers in the game!

Muscle Band is an awful item XD Anyways, you'll rarely get in two Dragon Dances anyways, so meh. But its fine :P


Roudini(ALAKAZAM)@Choice Scarf
Timid
252 spA/4 HP/252 Spe
Psychic
Signal Beam
Focus Blast
Trick

With Choice Scarf, max EV's on speed and a timid nature, Alakazan can outspeed almost everithing! And a 135 sp. Atk base, turn this poke into a MONSTROUS Sweeoper!

Alakazam doesn't cut it anymore in today's metagame, other than its surprise factor (which wares off in two seconds where it is Pursuit bait :P). Azelf can serve the same function, but it is a tad bulkier and can actually kill stuff with its surperior move pool.

Azelf@Life Orb
Levitate
Naive Nature
252 SpA/220 Spe/36 Atk

• Psychic
• Flamethrower
• Explosion
• Grass Knot/Hidden Power Ground

Psychic for STAB, Flamethrower is great for coverage, as is Grass Knot. Explosion says "Die Blissey" who thinks it can wall you otherwise. HP Ground is an excellent choice in that last slot as well. Heatran walls you to oblivion otherwise, and HP Ground OHKOs it, while still leaving a dent in Tyranitar (Who you shouldn't be staying in on otherwise). HP Fighting can be used too I suppose.


Diesel(ELECTIVIRE)@Expert Belt
Mild
36 Atk/ 252 SpA/ 220 Spe
Thunderbolt
Flamethrower
Quake
Cross Chop

Electivire has a 123 atk Base and 95 Spe/SpA base, and for that reasons Elec is a great Mixed Sweeper; it also has a great type coverage for obvious reasons!

The current metagame is anti-Electivire pretty much, although the set you are using can be used if you want to :P A better mixed sweeper is Salamence, who can sweep effectively during any time of the match. Also is a great wall breaker.

Salamence@Life Orb
Intimidate
Mild Nature
216 SpA/208 Spe/84 Atk

• Draco Meteor
• Outrage
• Fire Blast
• Earthquake

Both STABed dragon moves are killer, and Fire Blast and Earthquake provide excellence coverage (Impeccable actually :P)

Sorry for my HORRIBLE english(I'm from Brazil!) and NO images! xD

So, overall it is actually a decently solid team. Only problem is that both Salamence and Gyarados wreck you :P To remedy that, use that Choice Scarf Jirachi set I provided. Although you could use the Wish one with Thunder Punch/Thunder and Ice Punch on it to combat them both well. That would probably work out better, as three Life Orb users+SR+Sand Stream kind of kills you. Actually, you could just remove Tyranitar all together. Choice Band Scizor is killer, doesn't require set-up, and kills.

Scizor@Choice Band
Technician (NEEDED)
Adamant Nature
252 Atk/224 Spe/32 HP

• Bullet Punch
• Superpower
• U-Turn/X-Scissor
• Pursuit

Bullet Punch abuses STAB, priority, AND Technician, and therefore is necessary. Superpower is used here as you aren't really going to be staying in long, it is more of a hit-and-run deal :P U-Turn is awesome for scouting early game, but you can use X-Scissor if you would like to. Pursuit can trap various Pokemon that don't threaten Scizor at all, and can KO them pretty easily if they switch.

With Sand Stream and an extra Life Orb down, using that Choice Scarf Jirachi is more viable. Help with killing Salamence and Gyarados if they have only one Dragon Dance under their belts, and just functions well period.

I do highly recommend using Salamence over Electivire though. It is much more successful in all situations, and just is an overall better Pokemon :P

So your line-up could look like (If you take my advice XD):
Lead Swampert
Standard Blissey
Choice Scarf Jirachi
Choice Band Scizor
Life Orb Azelf
Mixmence/Mixvire
