A B/W 2 RMT by Jr Breshears / Credit for banner goes to Prohawk
Introduction
Hello this is Jr Breshears with my first real rmt! This team has been my most successful one ever which helped me reach #15 on PS before the reset and #27 on PO with 1572. Unfornately I have no prove as I don't know how to take pictures, this is also my brothers computer so I can't save stuff. Anyways this has been my most favorite team to use, beating some of the top players to the ground. My team features a underrated set which is scarfed Jellicent which I have only seen on Mike's rmt and ever since then I just loved the set and decided about a month or two ago I was gonna build a team with one. I have been building it for awhile which I said about a month ago and have been testing new pokes and different sets and now I think it's about time to share it with smogon. It's a pretty unique rain team that catches a lot of people of guard, and it does not feature Thundurus-T, Keldeo, or Genesect. Anyways now on to the team!

Team In Detail
McDanger (Politoed) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 8 HP / 252 SAtk / 244 Spd
IVs: 0 Atk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Perish Song
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Electric]
First we have the most important pokemon on the team, Politoed. He's the one who summons the rain and he helps quite a bit during my matches. Some people think Politeod isn't very good but imo it is actually quite good. Being able to pull off some sweeps againest teams that aren't prepared. I lead off with Politoed againest all the HO teams that have been wondering around. Hydro Pump being able to 2 hit KO most or all Deoxys-D so that they are only able to get SR up, considering that both hit. Perish Song helps againest pokemon that are trying to set up so it forces them to switch in three turns and also screws up baton pass teams. Hydro Pump is good STAB which most of the time i'll be spamming. Hidden Power Electric helps me deal with Gyarados who other wise could sweep me. And Ice Beam helps againest dragons and grass types. Politoed is also able to outspeed +1 Dragonite which is useful, but sometimes I wish it just had 2 more speed points to outspeed Jolteon :[. EV's let me still outspeed +1 Dragonite while having just a little bit more bulk. IV's for min. confusion damage while still maintaing a HP Electric 70 base power.
Prohawk (Tornadus-T) (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Focus Blast
- Hurricane
- Sleep Talk
- U-turn
Next off we have one of my favorites Tornadus-T. I use to run a LO set but it just wasn't working for me, so then I switched over to the Specs set and never looked back once. It's raw power makes this thing very fun to use almost reaching 500 Sp.A, being able to KO a ton of things but Jirachi, Heatran, and Bronzong. This is also my answer to Breloom who takes Bullet Seed's and Mach Punches fairly easily. Sleep Talk lets me have something to sack to put to sleep againest Amoonguss and Breloom. And then I use Sleep Talk and hopefully I get Hurricane and kills them which most people don't expect. I use to have Heat Wave over Sleep talk to beat Genesect since they can't KO me at full health and I also use to have HP Grass over Sleep talk for Rotom-W and Gastrodon, but neither of them were better than Sleep Talk. Focus Blast hits mainly Ttar and Heatran, if I have Tornadus-T in on something and they have a Ttar then most of the time I use FB to try and predict the switch to KO Ttar unless they have Chople Berry which wins me the weather war. Hurricane is a good STAB move that hits 100% of the time in rain and being able to demolish teams. U-turn lets me scout and go to the correct counter. EV's are standard max speed and power. Timid Nature to outspeed a ton of threats.
Gigaboost (Breloom) (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Technician
EVs: 24 HP / 252 Atk / 232 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Spore
- Low Sweep
- Mach Punch
- Bullet Seed
Now we have Breloom which is my main answer to Blissey, Chansey, and Gastrodon. Breloom is a very important pokemon in all of my matches mainly because it is able to beat a lot of the common pokemon in today's meta. I use to run Jolly and max speed over Adamant and the current EV's but then Doom sugessted this and so far I haven't had any issues. The speed wasn't needed since Breloom is fairly slow and it has priority anyways. Spore lets me put something to sleep so that they are basically one pokemon short and lets me have the upper hand during my matches. Mach Punch is for priority and my fighting move to deal with Blissey and Chansey. Mach Punch also hits other stuff like Heatran, Magnezone, Ttar, etc. Bullet Seed is for waters and Gastrodon which walls a few of my pokes, and Bullet Seed and Mach Punch gets a boost from Technician. Swords Dance helps me beat stall teams so that I can power my way through there teams. It also lets me get occasional sweeps. Fight Gem is to boost my fighting move for one turn. I might change Fighting Gem to LO and SD to low sweep. EV's let me outspeed positive base 110s after a Low Sweep and it lets me hit hard also giving me 24 EV's worth of bulk.. Adamant Nature so I can hit harder and Adamant Nature still lets me outspeed Latios and a Low Sweep.
MagicMonkey (Mamoswine) (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Endeavor
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Shard
Mamoswine is my stealth rocker and does a fantastic job at it. Focus Sash lets me get up SR majority of the time unless they have hazards up already. Donphan use to be in this spot and he also spinned but he was more deadweight since it didn't do hardly anything in my matches. Thick Fat takes ice and fire moves with ease if I need it to. Endeavor puts the opponents pokemon at 1 HP if I get knocked down to the sash and then ice shard to kill them. Mamoswine is a good counter to most sand teams alongside Breloom. Earthquake hits ton of things but I mostly use it to hit Jirachi who can be pretty annoying. Stealth Rocks is my only hazards on the team but is mainly all I need. Ice Shard is another priority move for finishing off weakened foes and dragons. EV's are standard. Adamant Nature to reach a huge attack and no other nature is necessary.
Jr Breshears (Jellicent) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 28 HP / 252 SAtk / 228 Spd
IVs: 0 Atk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Water Spout
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball
The MVP of my team. Scarf Jellicent is so unexpected it reaches a speed of 360 which outspeeds a fair amount of pokemon. Water Spout gets me so many surprise KO's its funny. KOing things like Gengar, Lucario, Magnezone, Conkeldurr, and Thundurus-T if its not scarfed, who thought they would outspeed and attack me. It even does around 50% to Latios, Rotom-W iirc and it 2 hit KO's most Jirachi. Sometimes this Jellicent even pulls off a 3-4 pokemon sweep which is funny and really fun to spam Water Spouts all over the place. Jellicent helps me wall Keldeo and other pokes too. Water Spout is my main attacking move and in rain it does a ton to a lot of pokemon. Hydro Pump is for when my HP gets low and I don't want to use Water Spout. Ice Beam hits dragons. Lastly Shadow Ball hits Starmie since other ghost pokemon I use Water Spout. EV's let me hit hard and get a speed of 351 which allows me to outspeed Gengar, Latios, Latias, etc. and having a little more bulk too. Timid Nature so that it can reach 351. IV's for min confusion damage.
Clueless (Jirachi) @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Wish
- Protect
- Thunder
- Iron Head
Jirachi is my last pokemon on the team. He is the one who deals with all the dragon moves aimed at the team and is able to wish off the damage and keep other teammates healthy. To beat the dragons I switch into I use Thunder that also has 100% acc in rain and then flinch them to death. Which doesn't really need explained. Protect lets me scout teams and get the wish off safely. Wish like I said keeps Jirachi and his teammates healthy being able to pass off 202 HP. Thunder to para things and it also hits waters which is always welcomed. Iron Head is to flinch things to death and also lets me have a way to hit Thundurus-T and Jolteon. EV's for max bulk. Sassy Nature for bulk too.
Last Glance At The Team
Conclusion
Well that's about it! Overall I think this has been my most solid and most fun team to use in all of my playing pokemon and it has also got me my highest peaks I have ever had. The nicknames are clan members if any of you are wondering. Also so far I haven't really had any problems with any pokemon, but anyways hope you all enjoyed and help me make it better. If you like the team feel free to try it out for yourself or leave a luvdisc.
