Team hit and move (UU) peaked at 48th

[Shining Meganium]

Hi this is my first rmt (for my most successful team) I and LickehLickeh have devised this team that pounded up the smogon ladder to 48th around a month ago.



Cloyster (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 160 HP/252 Atk/96 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Ice Shard
- Rock Blast
- Rapid Spin
- Spikes

The standard Anti lead/spiker set with the standard evs. Cloyster leads off my team by providing spikes support and a needed rapid spin utility. Ice shard and rock blast allow me to revenge kill and break subs/ attack ice resisters respectively. The evs are there to deal maximum damage with the two attacking moves plus take a stab pschic from lead alakazam.

against common leads:

Spoiler:

Ambipom: Unfortunately I have to switch to tomb to take the fake out.

Uxie: Free Spikes as it will either trick me into them, set up its own rocks or u-turn. I should get at least 2 layers of spikes up here.

Moltres: Switch to tomb.

Alakazam: one layer of spikes and switch to tomb.

Electrode: rock blast the first turn as it taunts/ rain dances and then I switch to mespirit to thunderwave his switch.

Hariyama: switch to tomb.

Kabutops: spikes first turn as it uses rocks then switch to tomb.

Mesprit: switch to tomb as grassknot can kill me.

Omastar: Same as kabutops.

Spiritomb: to clefable.

Venusaur (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 64 HP/164 Atk/184 Spd/96 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Sleep Powder
- Sludge Bomb
- Power Whip
- Synthesis

Mix venasaur over clefable for coverage and toxic spikes.


Mesprit @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/164 Spd/92 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic

Mespits there for stealth rock support and with levitate it gets a nice free switch on earthquakes.


Spiritomb (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/140 Def/116 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Rest
- Will-o-wisp
- Taunt
- Dark Pulse

Provides willowisp support and that needed immunity to normal and fighting attacks.


Azumarill (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 240 HP/252 Atk/16 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aqua Jet
- Return
- Waterfall
- Superpower

A choice band Azumarill to take out moltres and blaziken who would otherwise hurt my team. Thanks to shiny azelf for the suggestion.


Alakazam (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Grass Knot

Milotic counter and late games sweeper.

This is like....the biggest Moltres/Blaziken weakness ive ever seen, goodness lol. Yeah sure you can revenge kill it but you lose a Pokemon in the process. Nothing can take Fire Blasts.

Id try and get rid of Zam, Celfable or Lee for a check. Bulky waters are you best bet, Azumarril makes a pretty good offensive check and works great with Spikes. Lee seems like it makes the most sense to replace.

Toxic Spikes are also horrible to this team, how about Mix Venu > Mix Clefable ?

I'll test it out and see how it it goes.
