Moltres @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Modest Nature (-Atk, +SAtk)
- Fire Spin
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Substitute

Max special attack + Fire Spin trapping

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 196 HP / 252 Def / 60 SAtk
Bold Nature (-Atk, +Def)
- Ice Beam
- Protect
- Surf
- Wish

I'm thinking of replacing Protect with Haze.

Salamence (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Rock Slide

Standard CB'er

Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Immunity
EVs: 108 HP / 124 Atk / 136 Def / 140 SDef
Careful Nature (-SAtk, +SDef)
- Body Slam
- Curse
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Standard Curselax. I sometimes think of using Fire Blast, but I'm not sure on what to replace it with.

Claydol @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 162 Atk / 12 Spd / 60 SAtk / 24 SDef
Calm Nature (-Atk, +SDef)
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Ice Beam
- Psychic
- Rapid Spin

Spinner + Special attacker

Regirock @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 204 HP / 112 SAtk / 56 Def / 136 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Explosion
- Focus Punch
- Rock Slide

After 2 or more Curses, it takes physical attacks like they're nothing.


The main weakness is that I don't have any proper phazers, so stat boosting is a problem. Actually, the only matches I ever lost while using this team were stat boosting/Baton passing matches

Cursepert of all things really fucks with you. Put haze on vaporeon, roar on moltres over fire spin, it doesn't matter but you need some way to counter stat uppers. When Regirock blows up on the bulky water that's shitting all over you, you inevitably die to anything with an attack stat.

Fire Spin is for trapping, but it isn't reliable offensively, so I'll just go ahead and replace it with Roar. Regirock is the main physical defense, but Vaporeon is bulky enough to withstand most physical attacks. I wouldn't have to worry about Vaporeon getting wiped out by a Swords Dancer if I had Haze.

Needs more Zephyr Fire and Semula and Water and Lackluster and I can see you and Nakmachine ya.
Did vapicuno give you this?

Anyway I really don't suggest leading with Moltres. Common leads such as Zapdos, Salamence, Tyranitar, etc, all screw Moltres up big time. Lead with CBMence imo.

I can't really see Fire Spin working without Toxic or Protect for Pressure abuse. Even then you'd probably still need higher speed for it to work the way you want it.

Yes he did, but I plan on changing the team up a little by making small changes to the EV's and moves.
