Staraptor (♂) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP/96 Atk/108 Def/148 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Brave Bird
- Featherdance
- Roost

I do not take credit for this set. I saw the idea from someone and immediately loved the idea. I modified the EVs to my own liking, and this thing is amazing. Gyara leads are so common now, and this thing just stops them. Featherdance and -3 Atk for Gyara. Stone Edge will normally hit Staraptor for 30%~ normally. Gyara will be forced to switch after that, while I U-Turn to a favorable matchup.

Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 196 HP/216 Spd/96 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Surf
- Rapid Spin
- Recover
- Thunderbolt

Spinner. Nothing much to be said.

Blissey (♀) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Seismic Toss
- Softboiled
- Sing

I can't say I like Blissey, in fact I hate it with a passion, but I needed a special wall. So I put on probably the most annoying pokemon in the game.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/16 Def/40 Spd/56 SAtk/144 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Grass Knot
- U-turn
- Leech Seed
- Reflect

Forces switches with Leech Seed. Works nice with Staraptor. Reflect is just a filler and might be replaced with Recover, maybe even Psychic.

Hippowdon (♀) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Stealth Rock
- Slack Off

Very reliable SRer. Hits stuff quite hard as well.

Tyranitar (♀) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/200 SAtk/56 SDef
Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Ice Beam
- Flamethrower
- Substitute
- Stone Edge

Yes. 2 Sandstreamers on the same Non-Sandstorm team. This Tyranitar is mainly a late game sweeper. Suprises Forrtress with Flamethrower, and Gliscor with Ice Beam. Scares off Cresselia, in thought that I'm going to Crunch it, in which I'll just use the turrn to set up a Substitute and hit his switch hard.


This team was first made just for fun, but it's been getting me pretty high on Shoddy Ladder.

Yeah, psychic is good on celebi for scarfcross switch-ins. I'd run that over reflect personally.

 

[Towlie]

That's what I'm thinking. Reflect isn't used too much, and I was pretty much out of ideas for the fourth slot. I'll test it out.

 

[Toothache]

For Hippowdon, I run Roar over Ice Fang. Stops stuff like Garchomp Swords Dancing up (or almost any physical sweeper to be honest). Jask screws you over without a pseudohaze or priority move. Also consider a bit more speed on Starmie - mainly to outrun other Starmie who think all they need to do is outspeed Gengar.

With Sand Stream on your team, Celebi needs Recover over Reflect.

 

[Towlie]

I might go 220 Spd/192 Hp on Starmie. Roar is a maybe on Hippo, but Ice Fang hits Gliscor Hard, as well as Garchomp.

For Celebi, I might go with Recover, but Psychic has been helping in 4th slot somewhat. Celebi heals itself a lot when it switches into Blissey and seeds it.

on bliss i would prefer aromatherapy over sing, since sing 1) has bad acuracy 2) u have no cleric
if u don't want to u could put heal bell on celebi...

Clerics are aren't nessacary. You can use them if you only want to. I forgot the reason why they well.. Kind of suck this Gen.. Towlie and Dark Azelf know..

Good luck with double-status gallade then, and also healing all those pokemon that can only rest ;/ And "Clerics are aren't necessary..." Can you make up your mind? O_o

Saying clerics suck this gen is horribly inaccurate. they are harder to use, but suck? LOL! why?

Well, things like gallade and other status inducers run crazy on you, and they'll be after your status absorber immediately. MEaning once it's dead, WoWs, Toxics, and Twaves will cripple you beyond repair and you will most likely not win.

 

[Towlie]

Clerics are needed on some teams. Not this one, seeing as I have 3 pokemon with Natural Cure. (Blissey/Celebi/Starmie)

It's not that Clerics suck this gen, just not as useful as they once were. Most of my teams don't use clerics, but if I ever have a team that will get messed up by status, I'd use one, obviously.
