Some Recent Cool Thing

[Synchronize]

Regice @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 148 Def / 108 SAtk
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Counter
- Explosion
- Ice Beam
- Thunder

Takes some prediction so that CMers don't complely screw me, but it isn't really that hard.

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 160 HP / 252 Def / 80 Spd / 16 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Protect
- Surf
- Toxic
- Wish

Someone please fricking explain why every time I use this, my team is prone to getting critical hit all day.

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP / 136 Def / 36 SAtk / 96 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Counter
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Protect

I never really like Sassy for Counterpert, but it seems to be cool enough.

Forretress (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Protect
- Rapid Spin
- Spikes

Because Protect is gg. I stall enough EQs and/or Rock Slides to get mah spikes down.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 188 HP / 96 Def / 24 Spd / 96 SAtk / 104 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Light Screen
- Rest
- Roar
- Thunderbolt

With Regice exploding, I needed an outlet for keeping it alive on the special side. It's also nice to have Swampert Counter a Zapdos HP Grass with a Light Screen up. :)

Gengar (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Explosion
- Focus Punch
- Shadow Ball
- Will-O-Wisp

Needed a physical punch to it, but needed a Ghost.

No Sleep Talker. That's my first time doing that since Sleep Talk Zapdos became popular.

the counter VS zapdos hp grass - doesn't counter only work for physical attacks... and if HP is grass, that makes it a special move?

Nope, HP is always treated as physical because its base type is normal, even though special HP works with SAtk. It's weird, but that's the way it works. :3

And, almost ironically, you can't Mirror Coat a special type Hidden Power.
