Hey guys. After a long stint in playing Pokemon, I've decided that I would improve my former competitive team and head into the 5th Generation.
Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash
Jolly - Pressure
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
~Taunt
~Stealth Rock
~Stone Edge
~Earthquake
Aerodactyl is a very useful lead, outrunning many of his opponents and taunting them, preventing their set up whilst performing his own. Stone edge for STAB and Earthquake for coverage.
Swampert @ Leftovers
236 HP / 216 Def / 58 SpD or SpA or Atk
Relaxed - Torrent
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Earthquake
-Stone edge
I was always interested in using Swampert as a defensive wall, however I feel that he isn't performing that role quite well enough. Due to many weaknesses, I have considered replacing Swampert for Ferrothorn.
Blissey @ Leftovers
Calm - 252 Def / 80 SpA /176 SpD
-Softboiled
-Wish
-Flamethrower
-Toxic
Blissey has proved being a very useful spec. wall. Switching her into a majority of attacks, she quickly poisons before destroying the predicted steel switch in. She has even won me a few matches single handedly. I am thinking of finding something that can absorb spec. attacks like Blissey, however can distribute more damage and provide better type coverage.
Starmie@Choice Specs
Timid, Natural Cure
252 Sp.A, 252 Spe, 6 Hp
-Thunderbolt
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Psychic
My special sweeper. Starmie has proven extremely useful, stepping in where others cannot.
Salamence @ Choice Scarf
228 Atk / 106 SpA / 176 Spe
Adamant - Intimidate
-Fire Blast
-Earthquake
-Outrage
-Draco Meteor / Stone Edge
Almost partnered with Starmie, Salamence is my mix sweeper. Many opponents have been caught off guard by this dragon, taking down chunks of teams on his own accord.
Lucario @ Life Orb
Adamant - 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 6 Hp
-Close Combat
-ExteemeSpeed
-Crunch
-Swords Dance
My last resort, Lucario. Another surprising pokemon, Lucario has managed to make a significant come back. Hindering his potential however is his speed status, this overcome by the introduction of ExtreemeSpeed.
This team has a number of weaknesses, such as being unable to handle water types (mainly stallers), grass types or anything which has managed to raise its stats. I am strongly considering the use of Ferrothorn in the place of Swampert to provide more type coverage.
Thanks for your help in advance!
