This team has done pretty well for me so far, and some pieces of it I have found are amazing, the problem is I get the feeling it doesn't mesh, and I'm looking to replace some of the pokemon for others (namely Jirachi and Lanturn). Anyways, here goes! At a glance...
DARKRAI (Jirachi) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Iron Head
- Trick
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Punch
I can't say I'm extremely impressed with this lead, but I don't know what to replace it with, I always am looking for the best lead, but it is so hard to find. Jirachi does a decent job, it cripples one of their pokemon, but generally their lead isn't that important anyway, I switched out U-Turn for Ice Punch because I hate Gliscor.
Uber (Blissey) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- Protect
- Shadow Ball
- Counter
Wow, this Blissey has actually been outstandingly amazing. Blissey survives choice band'd superpower from Scizor (or at least it has), and then it counters and ends Scizor. Usually I switch into a specially attacking pokemon, then I use wish and counter whatever pokemon comes in.
KYOGRE (Lanturn) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 40 HP / 216 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Confuse Ray
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
I liked the idea of Lanturn's set and its resistances set in perfectly with my team, but its defenses are too weak for my tastes and it just seems not to fit in, I'd love to find a replacement here.
RAYQUAZA (Dragonite) (F) @ Choice Band
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Fire Punch
- ExtremeSpeed
- Aqua Tail
An absolute power beast, Outrage does around 80% to a Lucario, it's absolutely ridiculous how much damage this does. And of course, priority is always fun too! :D
ARCEUS (Machamp) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: No Guard
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- DynamicPunch
- Payback
- ThunderPunch
Machamp is awesome, I come in on things that are terrified of it like Snorlax and Blissey and sub up. Oh look, Rotom switches in, Rotom doesn't like payback. This Machamp usually gets minimum 1 KO per game, usually more.
LATIOS (Azelf) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Psychic
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Fire Blast
Azelf is really good, and the best part about it is that the most common switch in is Heatran who really enjoys a nice HP Ground. The only problem is that it unfortunately doesn't always hit hard enough on other pokemon. It OHKOs almost anything it hits super-effectively, but bulky-offensive pokemon generally can work around Azelf. I still really like it though.
Thanks for you time and I look forward to your suggestions!
