Gen 3 All stall teams I've been using bored me to death

[dekzeh]

So I decided to try something different.

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 212 HP / 20 Atk / 196 Spd / 80 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Double-Edge / Substitute

Trying Substitute lately, as any Bulky Water Ice Beam won't even break it, and it also avoids Mence+Gross switching in for intimidate in case I'm at +4 or something. Only leading for Intimidate tbh, I might want a better lead. Those SDef EVs are to make sure Max SAtk Timid Starmie never OHKOs me, which means, I can survive pretty much any unstabbed Thunderbolt (and even some Thunders from Jirachi) ._.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 20 Atk / 72 Def / 164 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Baton Pass
- Hidden Power [Bug]
- Recover
- Swords Dance

HP Bug kinda fixes my Celebi weak, but I might use Shadow Ball to hit Gengar, but then, I have enough Gengar coverage on Machamp/Magneton/Metagross and even Solrock (unless someone is using Fire Punch, Thunderbolt, Psychic and Giga Drain.. if that ever happens, I'll gladly accept my lost). BPasses SDs around :D

Machamp (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Guts
EVs: 252 HP / 180 Atk / 76 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Cross Chop
- Rock Slide

I wanted a cool Tyranitar counter, so Machamp it is! I love when those Gengas switches on me because I can beat it one on one everytime bar random CH's.

Solrock @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 228 HP / 116 Atk / 140 Def / 24 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Baton Pass
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Explosion

I wanted a cool Mence/Gyara counter, so Solrock it is! Baton Pass so I can BP the boosts passed by Celebi to Machamp/Gyara when those bulky waters/Metagross switches on me.

Metagross @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 68 Atk / 188 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Earthquake
- Meteor Mash
- Rock Slide

It's so fucking made of win.

Magneton @ Leftovers
Trait: Magnet Pull
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Thunderbolt

It's pretty good on what it does right.. also a decent switch on Gengar.

Pretty good team but Heracross is gonna hurt. Gyara should have a lot more defense to take on RS in a pinch. Try out TW over DD, you'll be able to allocate more EVs into defenses on Mag/Cele/Gyara. Also if you can catch Hera on that then everything on your team can whale on it and Cele/Sol can just bail out. MixMence (specifically with HP Grass/FB/RS) hurts too. Also since you don't have much special coverage that weird Hydro Pump/Thunder/Blizzard Starmie can mess around.

 

[ABC-Trainer]

Heracross and Celebi, especially together on a team are really going to fuck with you. so get rid of solrock and get a cb zapdos with tbolt drill peck and hp ice and something else

 

[dekzeh]

Three attacks Starmie is a bitch indeed. But normal sets gets beaten by a combination of Celebi and Gyarados.

I just realized something fun that a Mixed Salamence can't hurt Machamp at all. Anyway, Solrock should counter most Salamence's and isn't really destroyed by HP Grass.

What if I replace Gyarados for some kind of Physical Wish Mence? Just an idea xd
In fact, I like the idea of TWave on Gyarados, I might give it a try as I don't feel like I need DD.

@CTrainer: and how exactly a CB Zapdos helps with Heracross?
Sure, it switches in once, next time it's dead.

 

[ABC-Trainer]

nothing can switch in on a cb zapdos. what do you mean next time it's dead don't be so predictable and switch in your zapdos on a cbrockslide!!

 

[dekzeh]

Whatever.
I meant that two CB Megahorns 2HKO Zapdos.

I know how fucking good CB Zapdos is, it just doesn't help with Hera at all -.-'

 

[ABC-Trainer]

well that heracross is going to be trying to get your metagross with an eq switch the zapdos in on that what are you thinking

and it wouldn't be "two cb megahorns 2hko zapdos" it'd be "cb megahorn 2hkos zapdos"

 

[dekzeh]

Fuck im stupid.
Forgot smart ppl always use Earthquake Hera..

 

[ABC-Trainer]

dekzeh just avoid being ridiculous
