Team Adequately Awesome (RMT OU)

[madskil72]

Howdy everyone! Well I've been doing really good with this team for a while, now I'm losing a majority of my shoddy battles. Maybe I just suck, or maybe it's time for an RMT.
​

MY TEAM AT A GLANCE:

Azelf @ Focus Sash
Timid/Levitate

Stealth Rock
Psychic
Explosion
Taunt

Atk:6/SpAtk:252/Speed:252

Standard suicide lead, this thing really gets things going. Taunt on enemy leads e.g. Bronzong, Roserade, etc... then i get my stealth rocks up and explode, or psychic depending on the circumstances.

Lucario @ Choice Scarf
Inner Focus/Mild

Close Combat
Stone Edge
Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball
Hidden Power Ice

40 Atk/216 SpAtk/252 Speed

This was supposed to be a phis sweeper, but got changed to a revenge killer, cuz that's what it was mostly doing

Salamence @ life orb
Lonley/Intemidate

Dragon Dance
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Fire Blast

Hp:82/Atk:252/Speed:176

This is mostly my main physical sweeper, when lucario can't do the job, or he's dead. Now I know you're looking at this mence goin: WTF?? fire blast?? ya well it kinda rapes skarmory, bronzong, and other steel types. Also I can usually fool the opponent into thinking I'm either a Physical or Special mence, but then catch them off guard, which is usually a good thing.

Suicune @ Leftovers
Timid/Pressure

Calm Mind
Hydro Pump
Ice Beam
HP Electric

Hp:172/SpAtk:120/Speed:218

Ah Suicune. This thing is amazing and love it. Offensive suicune with leftys for some form of healing. I might switch hydro pump to surf for accuracy when it becomes a problem, but it hasn't, and Hydro pump has the highest accuracy of the "uber moves" (that's what i call them(fire blast, thunder blizzard etc..))went back to the HP electric, cuz i didn't hav any electric moves on my team, and i get raped by gyra and waters.

Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Impish/Chloraphyll

Knock Off
Sleep Powder
Power Whip
Leech Seed

Hp:252/Atk:2/Def:228/Speed:28

Standard physical wall. Leech Seed + Leftovers = very nice healing. One thing that gets me mad about this thing is the accuracy of Sleep Powder. When I need it the most it just misses. Power whip is awesome, and knock off helps me see what kind of item its running, usuful for choice items (sometimes)

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Careful/Thick Fat

Curse
Return
Fire Punch
Rest

Hp:168/Def:122/SpDef:220

I heart Curselax!! With Curse and Snorlax's massive attack, this thing can own. I actually prefer return for power, if someone can convince me to go with body slam than i will. Fire Punch is for steels and whatnot and all those ghosts that think they're so smart by swithcing into a snorlax bein all :lolz normal moves cant hit me cuz im ghost, and earthquake can hit me either cuz of levitate lolz. ya well i can. feel the wrath of curselax!!!

POKEMON I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH:

Any suggstions on how to totally rape these pokes or just survive them are greatly appreciated =)

Lonely > Adamant on MixMence, gives +Atk without -SpAtk. Fire punch > Ice punch on CurseLax, otherwise skarmory/forretress wall you no matter how many curses you have (Skarm whirlwinds you away, as well). Everything else looks fine..

 

[madskil72]

kk thx changes made
any one else hav suggestions??
perhaps on the pokes I hav trouble with =/

 

[genesis42]

Eh.. since you yourself said Lucario's used as more of a revenge killer than anything, why not make it a CBLuke instead? A little something like this:

Lucario @ Choice Band
Inner Focus
Adamant - 6 Hp, 252 Atk, 252 Spd
Close Combat
ExtremeSpeed
Crunch
Bullet Punch/Stone Edge/Ice Punch

Note that Bullet Punch can help out immensely against Weavile as Luke has a nice 2x resist to Ice and a 4x against Dark, with some prediction in hand, Weavile is easily disposed of.

Stone Edge just pretty much hits Zappy harder and Ice Punch is for Gliscor but I wouldn't recommend IP as most Gliscor are seen to outpace Lucario.

 

[ABYAY]

I don't see how Lucario is revenging anything with 279 speed. If it's your revenge killer...

Lucario@Choice Scarf
Mild, Inner Focus
40 atk/216 sp.atk/252 speed

Close Combat
Stone Edge
Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball
Hidden Power Ice

Now THAT'S a revenge killer. It outpaces Adamant Gyarados after a DD, ScarfTran, and Tyranitar after a DD, something this team highly appreciates. It also takes care of that threatning Weavile pretty easily.

Breloom's a severe pest to deal with. If Azelf lives past the first 3 turns, then maybe it could prove useful later. However, I'm pretty lost against Breloom myself.

For Ninjask, throwing Roar on Suicune will let your rocks shred it to bits. It can go over HP Electric and you can make your EVs more defensive (most Gyara these days don't have Taunt, so you just let your rocks do the work)

It's a pretty solid team, and I'm guessing it's D/P and not Platinum since Mence doesn't have Outrage, there is no Heatran, and there is no Scizor here.

 

[Skip Shot]

I agree with ABYAY on Breloom. Having used one myself, though, I know of some counters that could work.
- Any RestTalker with two offensive attacks- Machamp, Celebi(0.0), and so on abosrb Breloom's sleep, then if they get lucky on RestTalk, stop the Focus Punch.
- IIRC, maxspeed Mence outspeeds Jolly Breloom. SpecsMence is a nice counter.
- Revenge killing Breloom is probably the easiest, although it requires losing someone beforehand. HP Ice Gar does the best job, since ScarfTran and Weavile take SE from Mach Punch.
- Any Gengar can wall Breloom, unless it has Stone Edge.

Its funny that the Curselax set hasn't changed much from Johto... I was playing PS2, and the Curselax rental set is almsot exactly the same (Headbutt and phailCurl>> rest and Return)

 

[madskil72]

lol ya this is for D/P ABYAY
ok I made the changes, however shoddy isn't working atm, so I still have to test it out, although it sounds resonable
Sc4rfCh0mp, I'll try your advice with revenge killing breloom it sounds like it'll work pretty well
any more suggestions are always apreciated =)
