Gamebattles' Rules RMT. Need a team to show the mods they need to change their rules.

Arcane19 · Jun 17th, 2011, 12:52:10 AM

My Gamebattles RMT

First off, this team was built to abuse the gamebattles’ rules to hopefully force them to change their rules. Here they are:

The following rules apply to all GameBattles matches.
Species Restriction: You may not have more than one of the same exact Pokemon on your team. You may, however, have pre and post evolutions of that Pokemon.

Sleep Restriction: No two Pokemon on either team may be put to sleep by their opponent at the same time. This does not include self-induced sleep techniques such as Rest.

Self KO Restriction: If both players are on their last Pokemon, and one player performs a Self KO technique such as Self-Destruct or Explosion, and both players' Pokemon faint as a result, the player that intiated that technique will be the loser of the match. This does not include techiniques or items that produce recoil.

Evasion Restriction: Any techniques that increase your Pokemon's evasion attributes are banned from use.
The use of the item BrightPowder or Lax Incense is strictly prohibited.

One Hit KO Restriction: Any techniques that produces a One Hit KO on the opponent are banned from use. This applies to Guillotine, Horn Drill, Fissure and Sheer Cold.

Item Clause/Restriction is OFF: That means you may use more than one of the same item.

Banned Pokemon Include: Mewtwo, Mew, Wobbuffet, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Latios, Latias, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Deoxys (All Forms), Garchomp, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Manaphy, Darkrai, Arceus, Salamence, Shaymin-S, Genesect, Keldeo, Meleotta, Reshiram, and Zekrom.

So basically a team to abuse Swift Swim with Drizzle. This was a solid team I picked off another site when I saw it. I cannot claim it as my own, and unfortunately I lost the OG link.

I was thinking about doing the same thing with Chlorophyll and Drought, however there doesn’t seem to be as big of an issue with this (could someone explain why).

Politoed (M) @ Leftovers (Darkerones 6/17/11)
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 232 HP / 252 SAtk / 24 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Focus Blast
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Electric]

>>First off, Specs Modest Politoed is just a beast with it's ability which allows instant Rain. Choice Specs will allow Hydro Pump's power to be increased by 50%. The rain will allow Hydro Pump to be increased by another factor of 50%. While STAB will allow yet another boost of 50% power. That's a x3.375 boosted Hydro Pump. You can imagine how powerful that is. HP Electric is for other politoeds thinking about maybe increasing speed EVs to make sure I can out speed all other Politoed Leads).

Tentacruel (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 192 Def / 24 SAtk / 40 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Protect

>>Tentacruel is for spinner and Toxic Spikes support. Enhanced with Rain Dish this thing can be quite a pesky Pokemon to take down.

Thundurus (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 32 Atk / 224 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Hammer Arm
- Thunder (Darkerones 6/17/11)
- U-turn
- Hidden Power [Ice]

>>Thundurus is also another beast that rarely has any counters. With Hammer Arm this thing will always 2HKO those Blisseys or Chanseys that will try to counter it.

Tornadus (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hurricane
- Focus Blast
- U-turn
- Grass Knot

>>Specs Tornadus is just a beast, with 100% accuracy of Hurricane under rain and a 125 base SpAtk stat. It rips through almost anything that it outspeeds (its speed being base 111).

Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 60 Def / 196 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Power Whip

>>Ferrothorn is for SR support and a great counter to many common threats. Rain reducing its weakness to Fire also helps quite a lot and can easily take HP Fire from things like Rotom-W or Latios.

Kingdra (M) @ Life Orb (ScaryBalloons 6/17/11)
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Surf
- Dragon Pulse (possibly replace with yawn-Wired Sushi 6/17/11)
- Draco Meteor

>>Specs Modest Kingdra, a bit more powerful than Politoed, will be even more powerful especially with double the speed in rain and powerful STAB Dragon and Water moves.

______________________________________________

Smeargle
Ability: Moody
Nautres: ?
EVs: ?
- Protect
- Substitute
- Baton Pass
- Ingrain/Spore/U-turn

He is here to just sit around and wait for some amazing boosts. Not sure where I could put him in, but I wanted to so that GB could see how moody is abused. I was thinking about taking out one of the genies, most likely Tornadus.

If anyone has a link back to a suspect team that abused moody please link me up to it thanks.

Umm Swift Swim and Drizzle are sadly illegal together now(Because of Kingdra actually) and doesn't Thundurus learn Thunder? That hits harder and is 100 percent accurate in rain,so take off T-bolt and put Thunder in. Your very Blissey/Chansey weak. And your choice specs obsession will kill this team in the end against the likes of Jellicent and Suicune. Also,stall teams will wreck you if they kill Tenta because of your choice switching.

Arcane19 · Jun 17th, 2011, 1:56:17 AM

I understand they are ilegal. I posted at the top that this team was built to bring gamebattles on par with smogon.

I'll put Thunder on on Thundurus. Thanks.

I'll take of choice specs. What do you recommend as an alternative? Life orb, lefties?

Lastly, how do I get to play on smogon/pokemon online so i don't have to play with GB rules?
Edit: On a mac* For some reason shoddy seems to give me issues trying to use it on a mac.

ScaryBalloons · Jun 17th, 2011, 2:01:31 AM

You're gonna have to put more detail into your descriptions or this is gonna get locked. Besides that, needs more swift swim in my opinion. You want to prove how broken it is, so abuse it.
Personally, I would get rid of Tornadus and replace it with something like Ludicolo or Kabutops. Also, you should definitely be using thunder on Thundurus over tbolt.
Also, three guys with specs is a little much. I would replace the specs on Kingdra with a life orb, and you could even potentially go mixed if you want, but thats up to you.

DetroitLolcat · Jun 17th, 2011, 2:02:03 AM

You might want to get this moved to the Other forum because it is technically not an OU team...

Darkerones · Jun 17th, 2011, 2:07:24 AM

Kingdra is fine with Specs but Poli is way better off with lefties to extend his lifetime if you want more Rain later. Thundurus and Tornadus have U-Turn so Specs is still an option and is good to prove that item clause is needed. And Mac is horrible for gaming,just saying.

SOEL · Jun 17th, 2011, 3:46:42 AM

Two things:
1- Salamance isnt banned, its legal in OU
2- Drizzle + Swift Swim are banned in OU
EDIT
1 more: Moody ability its banned too.

WiredSushi · Jun 17th, 2011, 4:32:52 AM

put yawn on kingdra, it is very very helpful, and no one sees it coming

Ok put life orb on Kingdra. I am not sure if I want to take Tornadus out, who is suspect now according to smogon if I am not mistaken, for pkmn that don't have base stats near Tornadus'.
Thunder was switched earlier per darkerones advice.
Instead of going mixed Kingdra, I am going to try yawn out on this set.
I am still a little worried about trading out the power of specs, especailly poli's 3.375x hydrop pump.

Will test out instead of having 2 special dragon moves.

I guess I should request the mods to move this to "other" since people are not understanding that I am going to use this team on Gamebattles. I guess since it is in the OU thread it confuses people, but the OU thread gets the most activity.

Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

Your descriptions are lacking, which means you are violating the above quoted RMT rule. If you wish to remedy this problem, explain your reasoning behind each Pokemon and why they work on your team more thoroughly. Try to aim for 3-4 sentences with your descriptions. I recommend lurking through the RMT Archive in order to see examples of what we're looking for in an RMT! If you fix this problem, private message indicating that you have done so. Once you've done that, I will unlock your thread.
