Kenniaran Trick Room [OU RMT]

• Iron Head - Jirachi's fantastic STAB move has further usage on this team, allowing it to outrun Pokemon it never could before, like Scarf Latias or +1 DD Mence (without risking a speed tie) for Flinch chance and damage.
• Stealth Rock - A staple for any team, Stealth Rock appears on Jirachi's set to damage those swapping and for early set up of the Entry Hazard.
• Fire Punch - This move is primarily for use against Scizor, but is also used against other Steel types for damage. The 20% burn chance when factoring Serene Grace isn't bad, either.
• Trick Room - Obviously the theme of the team, Jirachi's set isn't complete without Trick Room. Jirachi is our initial setter, allowing us to start the game off ahead in the speed game starting turn 2.

• 252 Attack and the Brave nature maximize Jirachi's damage dealing capacity while also lowering it's speed to the lowest possible level for use after Trick Room
• 252 HP maximizes Jirachi's overall bulk allowing it to take many more hits before succumbing
• 6 Special Defense is mostly filler, but it placed in Special Defense to allow Jirachi to take Fire moves weakened by Occa and resisted special moves like Ice Beam or Draco Meteor more effectively

• 
  Metagross: First Stealth Rock, then Trick Room, then switch to Machamp or Fire Punch as appropriate.
• 
  Azelf: Trick Room then Stealth Rock, then Iron Head or switch as appropriate.
• 
  Jirachi: Stealth Rock then Trick Room. Switch or Fire Punch as appropriate.
• 
  Swampert: Stealth Rock then switch to Gallade or Machamp as soon as appropriate. If switching to Machamp, try to TR first. This lead is trouble.
• 
  Aerodactyl: Trick room then SR. Iron head or switch as appropriate.
• 
  Infernape: Trick room then SR. After this, you're usually dead, but if not you switch to Tar.
• 
  Hippowdon: SR then Trick Room. Switch to Machamp as appropriate. Generally, this lead can be trouble.
• 
  Bronzong: SR then Trick Room. If put to sleep, go to Cresselia and let her set up Trick Room.
• 
  Ninjask: SR then Trick Room, then Iron Head as appropriate to break the Sub.
• 
  Tyranitar: SR then Iron Head as appropriate. Set up Trick Room after he's left or dead if possible.

• Reflect - The first move of Dual Screen and often the more important of the two to this team, keeping stray Earthquakes and priority moves from killing Tyranitar or Gallade.
• Light Screen - The second move of Dual Screen and of less overall importance, but still quite nice to have on a team that invests a lot in bulk.
• Trick Room - Cresselia is the main mid-game setter of Trick Room and has been the most effective setter in ths team overall.
• Lunar Dance - CResselia's signature move which many seem to miss is Lunar Dance. This move totally revives a Pokemon that is swapped to on the turn Cresslia uses it after they come in (this means it also heals EH damage).

• 252 Speed and Timid might seem strange on a Trick Room team, but the idea here is to make use of Cresslia's respecable 85 base speed and take an incoming hit before Lunar Dance activates under Trick Room. This allows Cress, who dies anyway to Lunar Dance, to take the damage in place of the incoming Pokemon, letting the incoming Pokemon start off truly fresh
• 252 HP is to maximize overall bulk
• 6 Defense is to allowing a minor increase in the hit taking ability of Cresselia, but is mostly filler

• Close Combat - Gallade's primary attacking move, a 120 base power STAB move is never a bad thing, especially coming off of Gallade's impressive 125 base Attack.
• Night Slash - A move that, paired with Close Combat, gives Gallade nearly perfect coverage (missing out on it due to Toxicroak and Heracross). Also allows Gallade to work through Rotom-A appearances.
• Stone Edge - Another coverage move on Gallade, this is used for your flying types like Salamence and Gyarados who like to occasionally come in on Fighting types' STAB moves.
• Trick Room - This move makes Gallade our third and final setter, primarily used during the end game and only when needed, which it rarely is.

• 252 Attack and a Brave nature give Gallade its maximum damage dealing capacity while retaining it's low speed value
• 8 HP keeps Gallade's HP odd
• 240 Defense maximizes Gallade's defensive capabilities once the other two EV values hve been set

• Leaf Blade > Night Slash to better deal with Swampert
• Ice Punch > Stone Edge to better deal with Gliscor and more reliably killed Dragons (as we have two other Stone Edge users anyway)

• Dynamicpunch - Machamp's STAB and the move that makes him so dangerous. 100% accuracy 100 Base Power move with auto confusion attached is just plain sexy.
• Stone Edge - Machamp's best coverage move, hitting everything that resists Dynamic Punch for at least neutral damage.
• Foresight - An interesting addition to Machamp's set that makes up for the uselessness of Payback in Trick Room (due to MAchamp actually being fast in it), this move allows Machamp to hit Pokemon like Rotom-A with his STAB Dynamicpunch.
• Rest - This move on Machamp makes him a more effective Rotom-A, Tar, and Heatran counter, being able to Rest of any damage or status he may aquire while facing those threats and others.

• 252 Attack and the Brave Nature give Machamp his maximum damage dealing ability and keeps Machamp's speed as low as possible
• 240 HP gives Machamp an odd number HP value and great overall bulk
• 18 SpDef is mainly filler based in giving the HP number, but also helps slightly with taking Rotom-A, Tran, and Latias attacks

• Bullet Punch - Scizor would likely still be UU without Bullet Punch, and for good reason. A 60 base power STAB Priority move coming off of 130 base attack is nothing to scoff at.
• Bug Bite - Bug Bite is a great move on the Scizor line, but useless on everything else. Why? It's 60 base power gets boosted by Technician making it actually 135 base power once STAB is factored, stronger than STAB X-Scissor.
• Brick Break - This move gives Scizor a method to hit Steel types who would otherwise be a pain in the butt for Scizor to hurt with just his STAB moves.
• Swords Dance - Now I know it seems odd to use a set upmove when you're under time constraints in Trick Room, but Swords Dance on Scizor just fits. Why? Well for one, it doubles the damage output, essentially making up for the turn it uses right then on the next turn. The second reason is due to Bullet Punch's priority, Scizor and his Dance usage don't dry up once Trick Room is down, they can keep sweeping through with his Priority move now doing 260% damage thanks to Life Orb and Swords Dance (as opposed to the 150% offered by the Choice Band set).

• 252 Attack and a Brave nature maximize Scizor's damaging capacity while keeping his speed as low as possible
• 248 HP maximizes overall bulk while retaining an odd HP number for EH and Life Orb recoil numbers
• 8 SpDef is mainly filler, but also assists slightly in Scizor's ability to take special hits both neutral and resisted

• Crunch - Tyranitar's most reliable STAB move and a very essential move on him for this team.
• Stone Edge - Tyranitar's more powerful STAB move, and is also great for Tar's overall sweeping coverage.
• Fire Blast - Tyranitar's lone special move, this is used on Pokemon like Skarmory (who it 2HKOs) and other Steel types.
• Superpower - This move, with the others, gives Tyranitar perfect coverage, now there are other moves that could do this, but this one 2HKOs Blissey, hit Tran Super Effective, and hits opposing Tar for the KO.

• 252 Attack and the Brave nature maximize Tyranitar's physical damage dealing capacity while keeping his speed at a minimum
• 48 special Attack allows Tyranitar to 2HKO SpDef Skarmory with Fire Blast (plus one, filler from HP to keep the HP number odd)
• 208 HP increases Tyranitar's overall bulk while retaining an odd HP number
