Time for BL, do you dare enter?

[Ársa]

Typhlosion@Choice Scarf
Mild
252 Sp. Atk, 114 Atk, 112 Spd

Eruption
Hidden Power [ICE] 70
Overheat
Earthquake

My Lead. With Choice Scarf, an almost certain first hit with a STAB'd Eruption is nothing to sneeze at. The rest provides coverage, with HP Ice notable mostly for Flygon and Altaria.

====================

Ursaring@Toxic Orb
Adamant
252 Atk, 204 HP, 52 Def
Quick Feet

Facade
Swords Dance
Fire Punch
Earthquake

After 1 SD, Facade 1HKO's almost anything that doesn't resist it, so this is definately a force.

=====================

Flygon@Life Orb
Lonely
216 Spd, 244 Atk, 48 Sp. Atk

Draco Meteor
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Roost

Mix-Gon. Hits many things in the BL tier, and has great coverage. This is the Mix-Ape of BL in my eyes. Roost over Fire Punch/Blast because Typhlosion does the Fire Hitting loads better.

======================

Sandslash@Leftovers
Impish
252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Atk

Stealth Rock
Rapid Spin
Stone Edge
Earthquake

My Rapid Spinner and Physical Wall. This thing is extremely bulky for UU, and can hold it's own in BL.

=======================

Grumpig@Leftovers
Calm
252 HP, 156 Sp. Def, 96 Def
Thick Fat

Energy Ball
Calm Mind
Psychic
Reflect / Counter

My Style Grumpig. Calm Mind and Reflect combine, with Psychic as STAB and Energy Ball hits the likes of Sharpedo, Quagsire, Crawdaunt and Gastrodon. Counter is there for those who want to target it's 65 Base Defense, only to be hit hard in return. The best Typhlosion counter in UU/BL.

========================

Mismagius@Leftovers
Timid
116 HP, 252 Spd, 140 Sp. Atk

Thunder Wave
Will-o-Wisp
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt

Double-Status and Rapid Spin absorber. Thunder Wave Sp. Sweepers, and Will-o-Wisp Physical Sweepers. Can hamper teams that don't have a Cleric, and once they don't, you better be able to take this out...

=========================

There's my team, competent rates only.

Articuno doesn't really need special attack in all honesty.

BL teams in general I don't really get but oh well. You can't really wall fire types to save your life. Mixed Infernape...yeah.

 

[Ársa]

Infernape is OU, but what ever...

Yeah, I was thinking something along the lines of Hypno, as nothing really has high Sp. Def in BL, apart from Regice, but again, there goes that Fire Weakness... Suggestions?

BL and OU is the same metagame. BL IS OU, jusy lower OU basically.

~T_S

Grumpig has Thick Fat...that would probably help.

 

[Ársa]

Hm, ok, thankyou, I'll add it later today.

oh no you didn't just give ursaring quick feet and jolly nature.

ursaring is quite bulky and is awesome at taking status to boost his ATK. emphasis on ATK.

 

[Syaoran]

Seriously, he can come in on ANY status [except sleep of course] and use it to his advantage. It depends on what you choose to send him in - Thunder Wave or Toxic/Burn. Go Quick Feet if you're scared of paraysis more. Guts if you're scared of Burn/Toxic. It might actually survive a bit longer with Leftovers.

Please just run Roost on Flygon, it works soooo swell.
No backfires and it gets rid of the LO recoil.

I there any reason as to what's holding you back from using Focus Punch on Typhlosion?

 

[Ársa]

It's BL, and there aren't many pokemon that I would expect to switch in on Typhlosion that would take more damage than a STAB'd Eruption etc. The Smogon set revolves around OU me thinks, as Focus Punch is helpful for Blissey etc. It also allows a Ghost type to stat up, something like a CM Mismagius yada yada yada.

dude, ursaring doesn't need speed at all. your TEAM doesn't need anymore speed. put those evs into defense and hp, plz. if you want to give ursaring that much speed, then give it choice scarf instead and give typhosion choice specs. ursaring takes hits very well and won't be outspeeding much with about 344 speed MAX with quick feet. guts, on the other hand, can get him up to 591 with toxic/flame orbs and with choice band + burn/poison, about 886 atk. how many BL pokes can actually take those kinds of hits? a lot of BL pokes, on the other hand, can outrun ursaring with scarf and take it out when it's not carrying any defensive evs.

it's much better off taking hits and performing HARD hits.

 

[Ársa]

Ok, I was actually using this Ursaring in OU for awhile, so I just carried the set... o.0
