Disaster Area
formerly Piexplode
Hey there this is Piexplode, alas this RMT is not celebratory since overall my UPL team Drizzlers lost 3-5 because they all channeled Steeljackal<3 's luck, but at least this team won in my match versus Soulgazer which can be seen here. I made the team with significant input from kingmidas my fellow UPL teammate and I'm very appreciative of it. I'm not sure what some of you will think of this team, particularly more experienced XY Ubers players, but it performed well in its sole tournament appearance, and I think we can agree that if it belongs anywhere, it's there. The team was built around Shaymin-S [initially subseed] + Mega Manectric + Giratina-O [Defog + EQ], which gives a nice handle on a fair few threats, as well as being pretty threatening versus most archetypes. The remaining pokemon generally add the missing elements of synergy and threat-checking that the team required, for example to Xerneas and Yveltal. The team is of a more Balance-based archetype, but it contains a variety of interesting concepts and an original set or two.
Team Overview:
The Team:
Eliza (Shaymin-Sky) @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Seed Flare / Leech Seed
- Air Slash
- Grass Whistle
Name: After my girlfriend Eliza (Purple Piplup)
The main reason I wanted to run this was because of how threatening it is versus defog-arceus balance, and the set is mostly self-explanatory. Grass Whistle I ran due to disliking how few answers the team had to Yveltal combined with several opportunities to come in, and particularly in a tournament setting a suprise sleep move to take out an opponent's pokemon temporarily can be useful even in unexpected situations, such as versus Soulgazer's scarf jirachi. This team probably wouldn't work on the ladder since the suprise element is an important part of it, but also it does abuse these less reliable moves. Still, I have gained a lot of experience playing RBY OU, and I can say that a 55% accurate sleep move is worth it at times; the thing with hax, within the first generation of OU what it really does, if nothing else, is it forces you to acknowledge how probability affects the results of your play (particularly noting how teams in RBY OU are much less varied relative to later generations) - I owe Melee Mewtwo to some of the phrasing of that - and I dunno just using this move felt a lot more comfortable than it may have used to. The EVs are pretty straightforward, max speed abusing its great speed tier, high HP and rest into SAtk. If anyone has any suggestions to improve it slightly they're welcome to, but it's a pretty comfortable spread.
Porco Dio! (Manectric) @ Manectite
Ability: Lightningrod
EVs: 40 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower
Name: After an Italian swearword I am now for some reason habitually using thanks to marcoasd.
Okay so this pokemon is something that's not seen meaningful use in this tier before, so I should explain how and why I used it. Firstly, it has exceptional speed. It outspeeds the entire unboosted metagame, short of Mewtwo Y, after it's mega-evoled, with enough spare EVs to shift a little bit into its HP stat. Essentially it acts as a pseudo-scarfer, and it hits reasonably hard; its advantages over zekrom are two-fold. Firstly, it's not walled by the same things. This is because of its Electric/Fire/Ice coverage, which, whilst not hitting as hard, is harder to abuse resistances and immunities to handle it. It does ~87% to the standard Bulky Lando-T with HP Ice, so with a bit of prior damage, it suddenly is not an answer for manectric. Secondly, it is not choice locked; whilst this gives the cost of not being as fast as even the base 90 scarfers, which is an important disadvantage and a prominent reason why you might consider not to use it, the ability to use its coverage freely, and gain momentum with a volt switch (which hurts a lot of things pretty hard); it's pretty potent versus offense due to the high speed and power, as well as enjoying scizor's slow U-turn, whilst versus more defensive teams it threatens a meaningful selection of pokemon, whilst allowing other dangerous threats, such as CM Waterceus and Skymin, to come in freely. I can't remember what it outspeeds, just check the speed tiers with the speed it hits after mega-evolving, I'm pretty sure it was sensible. Oh and also intimidate and its speed and special attack make it a great check to ho-oh in combination with its other teammates, and again is threatening versus defog balance. Honestly this pokemon has impressed me, and I'm interested to see if other players can make other teams with it.
Moistceus (Arceus-Water) @ Splash Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 HP / 76 SpA / 180 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Judgment
- Recover
- Refresh
- Calm Mind
Name: I just kinda liked it.
I know this set is a bit of a favourite for Melee Mewtwo (particularly in SPL) and on this team it functions as a decent pivot, with solid typing and it's just a great glue, as well as being a potential wincon. If anyone has better EVs I'm happy to hear them :) Still, it's a lovely pokemon that makes moving defog onto Giratina-O worthwhile. Many teams find it a great glue; this is no exception. And for that matter it's probably the team's most standard set. Also I edited in something like Fixed's spread suggestion since my previous spread was bad.
Kingmidas (Giratina-Origin) @ Griseous Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 248 Def / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Defog
- Dragon Tail
- Shadow Sneak
- Earthquake
Name: Randomly homaged it to my fellow brochacho teammate.
So I stole this set from the analysis but realised that in spite of it being there.. I'd never actually seen anyone run Earthquake Giratina-Origin. Anyway it seemed like a cool move to lure Klefki (and hits Mega Blaziken pretty nicely), and it's a reliable enough defogger for the speed this team plays at generally. Dragon Tail and Shadow Sneak both also have heaps of utility, Dragon Tail also helping with non-ghost-coverage Ekiller. Pretty decent to sponge, and to fodder versus teams it doesn't put much work in against. It might be bait for a ton of shit that this team might have trouble with but it's pretty easy to just fodder it without it risking loss of the match, and it's not exactly the teams only answer to any particular pokemon, apart from like groudon, which tends to not be paired with specsogre; it's only an issue if out versus xerneas while screens are up, which won't happens cos if u play that badly u deserve to lose, and teams with specsogre tend to be less of a pain in the butt with hazards, and most spikes setters are eaten by mega manectric anway.
Scissors Beat Rock (Scizor) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Superpower
- Sleep Talk
Name: Because unlike in the game of Rock-Paper-Scissors, where rock beats scissors, these scissors, aka Scizor, beat rock, due to its powerful bullet punch. :)
The set is standard band, with a twist. I felt that Pursuit/Knock Off weren't terribly helpful for this team, especially considering the lack of an answer to Darkrai, and I went with Sleep Talk just to trial it. I think conceptually you might find flaws in it, but in practice in its few uses it's worked pleasently. Its powerful and slow U-turn is truly what makes this team work though, forming a heavily threatening core with Mega Manectric, and punishing virtually everything. It also is a decent Xerneas check; we know it has flaws, but most of the team can afford to either sacrifice itself to xerneas to dent it as it sets up, or isn't set-up fodder, and band's powerful Bullet Punch is underrated, dealing striking amounts to Xerneas. It's not perfect, but it is a fantastic addition to this team. Superpower also helps with ekiller lacking the right coverage to take it down.
Loses to Paper (Tyranitar) @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Low Kick
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
- Thunder Wave
Name: Homage to a metagame as equally matchup based as XY Ubers, also known as Rock-Paper-Scissors, we see that Ttar is a f**king pussy losing to sheets of the stuff.
This has 1 primarly role: Set stealth rocks. I can't remember why most of the rest of the set is as it is, but it works nicely, with low kick helping with ekiller, stone edge being a powerful STAB and helping in part with Ho-oh, and Thunder Wave to hit stuff like Yveltal and Xerneas as it's one of the less useful members of the team to keep around mid-to-late game. Suggestions are welcome, but it does seem in the matches I've played it sets rocks then dies. Ice Beam in the last slot could be pretty fun for Lando-T that thinks it's bright, but the team is generally cruel enough versus lando-t anyway, which is doing nothing more than getting up rocks versus this team, and maybe Toxicing Giratina-O. I don't remember why but Shuca Berry is probably sensible in some way or another.
So there you have it, a final winning team, and a genuinely fun team to use, with its own suprises and unique traits making it standout within this metagame. It's clearly imperfect in some aspects, any maybe unreliable in a few others, but it was fun to use in the tournament. I don't expect anyone to try to ladder with it, but if anyone does decide to test this team for fun tell me how it goes. Not looking for too much criticism but from good players it's interesting to hear.
