THIS IS AN SR FREE ENVIRONMENT !

[Max™]

Kai.....HAI PC ! =D

So this is my first RMT in quite a while around here so I thought I'd go and make another RMT with a crappy team I've made. I've actually been trying to make a good team lately utilizing weird sets for surprise value and achieving the needed goals to winning. Unlike some of the rmt's I've seen running around with queer sets ( Sash on Gyara? ) , these sets are 'proven' to work, either that or Theorymoned >)>.

So as I've said, utilizing a team of weird sets that work, either that or pokemon that have been proven useful in the past ( i.e. Heracross ). This team hasn't been through much testing (as in battling between the ratings 1000 - 1300) and I'm sure there are plenty of flaws around here. So, let's look at the team !

Team In-Depth
Btw, this is NOT an SR free environment rofl...​

Mamoswine (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 4 HP | 252 Attack | 252 Speed
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
> Stealth Rock
> Ice Shard
> Earthquake
> Endeavor
I actually always wanted to attempt to use Mamolead because it sounded so good on paper and as testing goes (lol), it has done farely well. It gets SR out right in the beginning and then goes crazy with Ice Shard and Earthquake. Unlike some pokemon, Mamo can actually USE Focus Sash because this thing isn't Weather Weak which is where Endeavor comes in.​

Forretress (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP | 112 Attack | 144 Defense
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
> Spikes
> Earthquake
> Rapid Spin
> Explosion
Obviously, my team needs this as you will see later in this rmt as it does discourage switching too often. 3 layers of spikes really hurt obviously so I abuse them. I didn't bother with T-Spikes as I find people switch anyways despite spikes. EQ to hit predicted Magnezone on the Switch-in (lol, magnezone). Rapid Spin to make sure Weavile doesn't die the moment it switches in. Explosion to leave in style.​

Flygon (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 80 HP | 252 Attack | 176 Speed
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
> Outrage
> Earthquake
> U-turn
> ThunderPunch
With Scarfgon around, it can come in on Ape and revenge kill it causing ape to either switch or die. Outrage and Earthquake for STAB, U-turn to scout and ThunderPunch for my current Gyara weak.​

Zapdos @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 Defense | 252 Speed | 252 Special Attack
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
> Metal Sound
> Thunderbolt
> Hidden Power [Ice]
> Roost
Whoever said Zapdos is always a tank with the exact same moveset? This shows you the deadly power of ScreechGon on the special side with even more power then Flygon had. After one Metal Sound, Thunderbolt is a 2HKO on Blissey with Spiker support ( 40% - 47% ). Thunderbolt is just a plain deadly STAB while HP [Ice] compliments it for the BoltBeam combo. Roost to heal off all extra damage including Life Orb and SR.​

Weavile (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP | 252 Attack | 252 Speed
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
> Ice Shard
> Pursuit
> Brick Break
> Night Slash / Ice Punch
Personally, I haven't seen Weavile since... before the release of Platinum actually. I actually have no idea why this stopped in usage though I'm pretty sure it has something to do with a STAB Technician Bullet Punch. Though that was a blow to Weavile, he hasn't lost his usefulness. This thing is the ultimate revenge killer because we all know the next guy with arena trap will suck so the next thing to do is Ice Shard while Mence is locked into Outrage =D. STAB Pursuit hurts wether you switch or not and Brick Break is for TTar. Night Slash is there for a reliable weapon though Im not sure wether I should use it over Ice Punch. The nature itself is debatable as Adamant gives it a boost in power while Jolly helps with it's revengefullness.​

Rotom-h @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 64 HP | 212 Speed | 232 Special Attack
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
> Charge Beam
> Substitute
> Shadow Ball
> Hidden Power [Fighting]
A totally standard Charge Beam set from Rotom but it's just that effective. With the ability to become a mind wall, I can switch into Gyara, threaten to counter, and Sub. Charge Beam itself is a very useful move able to boost my Special Attack into levels capable of sweeping. Rotom also works well as a spin blocker.​

The Gameplan​

I guess it's plenty obvious the strategy but I'll give it a go. The idea is to get the spikes up and then off our side. Weavile stays in until a threat comes out and takes them out. Ice Shard Mence and Brick Break for TTar. Then Flygon comes in and the battle plays out. With Screech on said target, Weavile or Mamo can come in and beat it while Metal Sound on Target and Rotom and come in and set-up and threaten.​

Changes
ScreechGon becomes a Scarfgon to cover Ape, Heatran, and Gyara weak
​

So yea people, this is my team, I will try to get a threats list with more subsequent testing but Rate Away PC !​

You are a lot of weak to MixApe and MixMence (Weavile is not a counter of Salamence but a RevengeKiller) for this motive I would give Choice Scarf Flygon, Mamoswine as lead are not is not liked too much never weak to the Metagros and Jirachi lead with Shuca Berry.

 

[Max™]

I've actually had lots of problems with mence and ape lately. I'm looking around but Im considering this to replace over Weavile as he can probably take hits from both ape and Mence and then hit back.

Azumaril @ Leftovers
Ability : Huge Power
EVs : 240 HP | 102 Attack | 168 Defense
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
> Rest
> Sleep Talk
> Aqua Jet / Waterfall
> Ice Punch

The EVs let me survive the currently common DDmences and hit back with Ice Punch for an OHKO considering SR is on the field while Aqua jet let's me hit Ape with priority. Ape might switch so Waterfall is also a viable choice from this perspective.

And what did you mean by the last part? It was kinda hard to read, did you mean ...
" Mamolead are not liked because you shouldnt be weak to Shuca Berry Meta and Jirachi Leads." ?

 

[Dark Azelf]

Umm, no one uses Shuca Metagross. :/

I have my doubts about Azu and doubt it can survive dragon hits and that set is silly and not practical. Aqua Jet has no priority when chosen by sleep talk.

Just whack a scarf on Flygon, ape problem is no more. U-Turn/EQ/Outrage/Stone Edge or T-Punch (<--The latter might be preferable, your team HATES Gyarados, non bulky rotom sucks at handling Gyara.)

Also kinda loling at the dragon weak claim, you have Weavile and Mamo..lol. I mean you can Pursuit said dragon too with Weavile if it decides to switch and Shard if its locked in. Not a problem, forry can also eat dragon moves for breakfast.

Heatran does 6-0 you though, you need a bulky water, Swampert >> Mamo might help. Flygon (your only check) takes like 45% from Fire Blast alone lol

 

[Max™]

So, to help with my aparent Heatran weak, D_A has suggested Swampert over Mamo, the problem is, I don't think I've ever set my hands on a Swampert before so I want to see if this set would suffice.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability : Torrent
EVs : 240 HP | 216 Defense | 52 Special Attack
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
> Earthquake
> Ice Beam
> Surf / Hydro Pump / Toxic
> Stealth Rock

I know I need EQ and Ice Beam and SR to set up. But Im iffy wether I should have a STAB or toxic for bulky pogeymen. Im leaning towards Surf right now so yea...
