Slow and Powerful wins the race... SD Groudon with Brave means I speed tie with Quiet Kyogres. Abomasnow and Tyranitar are both easily beaten if they are slower, and this can then switch in later.

Yeah, you know what it means. It's about time this came into play. Some battles at WFL anyone? Dunno about the EV's. Doesn't 16 HP allow chomp to survive an Ice Beam from things with less than 269 Sp. Atk, or something like that? I'm running the max to tie with other Garchomp, but I can change it.

I wouldn't use Drain Punch on poor Blissey...unless you use its uber version - CB Blissey :P

Anways, I've always found Protect pretty useless on Yanmega, I would put in HP ICe or HP Ground for sure over it. Interesting team, watch out for Electivire.

Good team overall, though uh, Blissey needs Softboiled.

 

[El Gofre]

Drain Punch? On blissey? Thats not even kinda usable :S

Anyway, when did they un-ban garchomp?

That aside, I see skarmory trouble. Your only special sweeper barely touches it (Damage calcs say that HP ice does 30-36% on a skarm with 252HP/16SpDef, assuming perfect IVs, and it will be KOed by brave bird soon after). HP fire on the other hand does 73-86%. Nice team otherwise

 

[Espreon]

Rapid SpinSludge Bomb/Poison Jab?!?

Are you on something or something? Poison type moves have poor type coverage and besides Rapid Spin is used to clear Toxic Spikes (Even though as Tentacruel is a Poison type he will absorb them upon being sent out), Spikes, Stealth Rock and Leech Seed.

@TS: Giga Drain on Squidward? Maybe I should run that on my Tentacruel.

 

[Ársa]

I wouldn't use Drain Punch on poor Blissey...unless you use its uber version - CB Blissey :P

Anways, I've always found Protect pretty useless on Yanmega, I would put in HP ICe or HP Ground for sure over it. Interesting team, watch out for Electivire.

Hmmm, Electivire. >_>

Chomp would handle it without a Motor Boost, and considering electricity from Weezing and...Blissey, I don't know if it's too much of a problem.

Electivire - Adamant - 252 Atk EV's - Earthquake vs Metagross = 65.78% - 77.29%

I might consider running Meta a tad bulkier, as Garchomp can do the bulk of the sweeping.

Ideas?

~T_S

 

[Anti]

Well you certainly can't switch in on Electivire, especially the mixed ones that run Thunderbolt, which Weezing can't really take. Flamethrower and HP Ice will hammer the rest of your team besides blissey, who is handled with Cross Chop. Basically, Vire gives you trouble, especially with a Motor Drive boost.

there isn't much I can recommend, since replacing something for a really good Vire counter could screw your team up.

Reflect G00se ftw !. Helps fill in that little niche in your team, E-Vire can never OHKO this set up without a crit =).


Alternately J00 can us3 M4[h4mp , Rest-Talk Machamp is sweet.

 

[Ársa]

I was going to, but I didn't want to make it look like another copy of your team? >_<

Reflect Gross is nice I suppose, I'll give it a try.

btw, anyone else been testing those two new pokes on DJD's server? Revenankh is seriously broken.

Bronzong? It could fill the similar niche of Meta, but the lack of physicality is a let down. It seems it's focused more defensively after that.

Either ReflectGross or Bronzong currently. hmmmm...

 

[flamehaze94]

So, NOW people start using ReflectGoose. >_>

Charge Beam + Bliss = Duggy ownage

You know what? Just run max speed for Garchomp to tie at other max speed Garchomps.

 

[ABYAY]

This team to me spells pain for pretty much everything. The only little niche of a problem is C.Beaming Blissey without Ice Beam. Dugtrio just says, almost like Garchomp, "kthnxbai Blissey". You COULD Wish/Protect stall it if you get in a Toxic. Then, if it all works out, you could laugh at the day Blissey beat a Dugtrio to bits (which I did one time, but had Seismic Toss and he must've not had Choice Band.)

Very nice overall, however. No team is perfect, but this is a dang good one.

 

[Ársa]

I've added an Uber team and a Sunny Day team that I would like people to take a look at.
