Introduction:
What's up guys. Mudvayne here with a new RMT, I made this team for the minitour and have tested it for a few days and found it to be relatively successful, even with some of the oddball 'mons. I have a few threats on my threatlist as of now and I will probably add more.The Team:
Famous (Sceptile) (M) @ Sceptilite
Ability: Overgrow
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
Yeah...
Yeah...
Yeah...
Hollywood hills, pocket full of shells...
Sunset drag and I haven't even slept all day...
The star of the team, Mega Sceptile is an excellent Pokémon usually overshadowed by a starter of the same type, Serperior. Sceptile does good against most forms of offense and a Leaf Storm hurts anything that isn't a resist. Leaf Storm is Grass STAB, hitting hard and using the base 145 Special Attack that Scpetile possesses. Dragon Pulse is a more reliable STAB and doesn't lower Special Attack. Hidden Power [Fire] help against most resists to Leaf Storm and Dragon Pulse and sometimes surprises these switch ins expecting a Substitute Sceptile. Earthquake hits Heatran.
Fear (Manaphy) @ Wacan Berry
Ability: Hydration
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 92 HP / 252 SpA / 164 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe
Huh, huh, huh, huh huh, huh...
Fear something again!
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh...
Fear something again!
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh...
Fear something again!
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh...
Sceptile struggles against bulkier teams, Manaphy alleviates this issue by bringing Tail Glow to the table and punching holes in most teams without a fast revenge killer. Wacan Berry was chosen over Lum Berry because I find that risking the Hidden Power [Ice] or [Flying] isn't needed and can kill Sceptile, and pre-mega Sceptile doesn't have Lightning Rod. Scald is a reliable STAB with a burn chance to make switch ins like Breloom regret it. Ice Beam hits most resists to Water hard and is reliable. Energy Ball is a way to get through bulky waters. Tail Glow is bread and butter, +3 Special Attack? Hell yeah!
Remedy (Heatran) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 188 SpD / 68 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
And speak but don't pretend I won't defend you anymore you see!
It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for you...
My eyes don't need to see that ugly thing, I know it's me you fear...
If you want me hold me back!
Not Gonna Die (Forretress) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
My heartbeat’s slowing down...
I won’t take this world’s abuse...
I won’t give up, I refuse!
This is how it feels when you’re bent and broken!
This is how it feels when your dignity’s stolen!
Most of you were probably like 'wtf kami use fucking ferro lolxd 420 blaze it' or some stupid shit like that but let me explain why I chose it. I needed rocks, I needed a spinner, and something that went with Heatran. This fit in perfectly, while also checking physical attackers that threaten Heatran. Gyro Ball is standard STAB that can hit decently hard since Forretress is slow. Volt Switch does no damage but gains momentum on my part and can get Forretress out of a bind. Rapid Spin is pure utility to get rid of rocks. Stealth Rock is Stealth Rock. No need to explain it.
Numb (Toxicroak) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Dry Skin
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 SpA
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface...
Don't know what you're expecting of me!
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes...
Every step that I take is another mistake to you...
Fall Into Sleep (Talonflame) (M)
Ability: Gale Wings
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
Dreams of hurricanes.
Dreams of pouring rain.
Dreams of tidal waves... to wash us all away...
Dreams of guns blazed.
Dreams of fire rage.
Dreams of swollen graves.
Dreams of hollow pain.
All gone!
