Acrobat gliscor back!!

Introduction
Hello smogon, this team is based on Gliscor acrobatics, although sand veil ban is still useful.
The team tries to give free passage to Gliscor sweep, killing pokes faster than scizor like scarfs users and make the teams stall no problems.
And basically I do using my favorite pokes.

The Team





Team Building process

As I said the team is based in Gliscor.

I need weather, the best weather for Gliscor is sand, I thought to Tyranitar or Hippo, but the team is more offense so I decided to Tyranitar.

I need a water or grass type, for resist water types, I try my favourite pokemon, Breloom with a bulky set

Then I need a pokemon can resist ice and dragon types, and something to RK, I try Scizor.

I need a faster pokemon, and a pokemon can resist water types, Latios!

Finally, I need a wallbreaker, who better than keldeo?

- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge

- Fire Blast

Information

Tyranitar is the lead on the team, he puts rocks and trap Lati@s, Gengar, Alakazam and other Ghost/Psiquic types, I decided a chople berry version, because he can trollin other teams with Stone edge, they think is choice band version, change a Steel type and Ttar use Fire Blast and KO.

Possible changes

Crunch over pursuit, because he does more damage in a Lati@s, because very few change lati@s vs Ttar and can 2 OHKO defensive Latias calm mind.

Scizor, the RK on the team, the evs in speed is for faster than politoed defensive, and faster than standar heatran, he can OHKOing with Superpower, sleep talk is for brelooms, he use spore and he will wait for change and use SD or focus punch, I use sleep talk and can OHKO with super power o u-turn.

PD: Sorry for my english, I very bad in english and Thanks For Reading!
 
Breloom is already one of the crappiest defensive Pokémon ever created, just give him a spread of 4 HP/252 ATK/252 SPE. His subs are not surviving anyways. More EVs in Attack though, and he becomes even better at tearing through the opponent's team! Just a thought.

Good luck.

I think it's a pretty solid team but... Breloom is a very bulky Pokemon and is also weak to ice. So why don't you use a water type. Since you already have Keldeo don't you think Breloom might be dead weight. Also Sleep Talk seems kinda situational to me. I would use a more reliable move like pursuit or something. But overall great team and good luck.

Hey PikaChuPi!

This is a really cool team, nice to see people still using that deadly Acrobatic Gliscor team. I've personally used him on a few teams of mine and love it. You also have some creative sets which is always helpful to through opponent's off guard. Looking at your team, it appears that Volcarona is a fairly large threat. After a Quiver Dance, it outspeeds everything on your team except for Latios. Latios is really your only failsafe against it but he is easily Pursuit trapped by Tyranitar or Scizor and really opens you up for that Volcarona sweep. Another threat to your team is Dragon Dance Gyarados. Again, if he sets up, then he can easily sweep. To remedy this, I suggest trying Quick Attack over Sleep Talk on Scizor. This gives you a last ditch attempt to be able to knock them out and prevent a sweep.

On Breloom, try out Leech Seed over Seed Bomb. With your defensive investment, Breloom is actually quite bulky and has great survivability with the use of a Sub Seed set. Generally, the things that you are hitting with Seed Bomb won't enjoy taking Focus Punch either so you won't lose much coverage.

Lastly, I would go with Rock Polish over Substitute on Gliscor. Rock Polish allows Gliscor to easily clean up late game as he hits really hard even without having to set up a Swords Dance when you don't have the chance to. Substitute is generally not as useful as it was in BW1 since Gliscor can't abuse Sand Veil anymore. The double dance Gliscor can either nab the speed boost or attack boost, whichever one you need, and if you can get both, then its usually over.

Hope I helped and good luck with your team!
 
first of all u shud max out the breloom and give it techinican. Sry but tech loom outclasses poison heal because breloom dusnt relly hav bulk and havin extra priority can do wonders. I think u shud scarf keldeo and give ur latios specs. Scarf keldeo is good in this meta while scarf latios is easily trapped plus its weak even tho it has a few pros. Sand veil gliscor happened to be my favorite poke and i had a very strong sand team. I can tell u no tht whithout the sand veil acro gliscor kinda sucks.Its to slow to pose a threat to most teams(if it finds a chance to relly set up) and with rock polish u mite as well run terrakion which can pull of duble dance way better. You can stick wit it tho and use rock polish but just keep this in mind
