Stone RG
Megas are broke
I should have screenshotted it, because now i dropped to 1550, whatever guys so its Stoned, bringing you a new OU team, as you may or may not remember, i posted another one 2 months ago, well this is the next phase of that team. To see the BW 1 vresion of the next team: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3469426.
what happened ofter the release of BW 2:
Tornadus-T demolished my entire team bar Rotom, which took heave damage from SR, sand, and U-Turns, and having rest didnt remedy this problem. Thundurus-T was a big threat as well, agility sets sweeping me easy, and scarf variants tended to Volt-Switch a lot, and i couldnt risk loosing Landorus to an HP Ice. Landorus-T just added a counter to my heaviest hitter, Terrakion. Genesect could gain momentum on half my team as well, and Sheer force Landorus-I and Keldeo destroyed my team on the special spectrum. All made me abandon the team, until a few weeks ago, where i tried to base it around AcroGliscor (i know its banned on PS, but not on PO, and anyways i changed the set later).
Onto the team now:
- Hydro Pump: a powerful STAB move is always necessary, and since rotom is my main answer to ground types its indispensable.
- Will-O-Wisp: this is what usually happens on most matches: my opponent leads with genesect, they uturn, i WoW, i burn something, pain split, switch to ttar (most of the time) set up rocks. It has happened so much times it isnt even funny
- Pain Split: i need a reliable recovery move, and this was as far as i got, plus its funny trolling politoed thinking they can come in HP Grass, i pain split, then i volt switch
Why this pokemon? Oh well, if you saw the other RMT, this was chesto rest variant, i messed up the EV spread to make it MUCH bulkier, and this is generally my best answer to rain teams, landorus and generally al ground types. All around a poke that im not planning to replace.
- Earthquake: do i have anything to say here?
- Acrobatics; sinergizes well with Fling, and makes Gliscor Breloom's #1 enemy, and much better than EQ in temrs of power and coverage.
- Protect: i hate this move SO much, i bet half my opponent's hate it more than i do tho, its mainly here to scout and rack Toxic/Sand damage.
Why this pokemon? As i said in the OP, this was originally a SV Gliscor, but it is gay, i hate hax, and mainly it just stopped working for me (lol). I opted for this set since Loom is a big pain in the butt, and terrakion kills something every time it switches, so Landorus is not an option, also it forms a very good defensive core with Rotom-W. Th EV spread outrun Adamant Luke, however i am really considering switching to one that outspeeds Toxicroak, since i have 2 very good checks/counters in from of Genesect and Terrakion, you guys choose.
- Rock Slide: Volcarona says hi if terrakion is dead, and TTar says ''Fuck off'', also any dumb D-Nite or Mence that tries to set up on me gets OHKOd after rocks :]
- Pursuit: Lati@s CANNOT switch-in after TTar is dead due to this kove, otherwise its really hard to get rid of them.
- Earthquake/Crunch: this is my big predicament, Heatran is pain in the ass in my team once Gliscor is dead, while on the other hand CM reuniclus means 6-0 , but in any case reuni is capable of taking a few crunches.
Why This Pokemon? TTar is here to do 3 things:1. Kill Lati@s, 2. Set up rocks, 3. Set up sand. There are other minor labors it does, like countering heatran, but these are the most important. The election between crunch and EQ is extremely important for the team, since heatran has to played carefully around if i dont have EQ, while if i dont have crunch reuniclus 6-0s me. Chople Berry would also be a good item so Rock Polish Lando doesnt sweep me once latias is weakened, and to take FB, but lefties is much better all around. You guys decide crunch or EQ, if you can give me an EV spread that 2HKOs CM reuni, but doesnt reduce my bulk, it would be very helpful.
- Ice Beam: if i didnt have this, well lets say Dragonite likes being a a dick, thats the only reason.
- Thunderbolt: Bolt-Beam combo, plus helps me against weakened Toeds, and plays mind games with my opponent's Flying types along with T-Bolt.
- Flamethrower: Scizor, Genesect and Forrestress, thats the only reason, im serious.
Why This Pokemon? Well, originally this was a Scizor until Genesect was released and i realized it just gains momentum so better and isnt set'up fodder for Magnezone, its bulk isnt bad at all, and it performs a very good late game sweeper. When you combine those beastly mixed attacking stats and Download + a movepool jirachi is jealous about you get one of the most broken pokemon in history.
- Stone Edge: ironically, Draco Meteor misses more than this thing, its pretty much an only 1 time use to remove my opponent's Flying/Ghost.
- X-Scissor: if i didnt have this move, well i have to trust on hitting to Stone misses in a row (see what i did there), plus stupid Gothitelle, i hate it, so this OHKOs offensive variants.
-Quick Attack: this is a vey life saving move sometimes, since some kind of priority doesnt hurt and i dont need other coverage moves, why not?
Why this Pokemon: my other RMT had Sub SD terrakion, well the curretn metagame is much faster, has much more rain and hence much more abusers, well in case you dont know, the entire rain archetype gets 2HKOd by Terakion's STABs, and really guys, its still the hardest hitter in OU. Also, ironically as well, Terrakion actually walls genesect in sand, so what it happens, is, they uturn out, they send in something, i kill, and the process repeats until terrakion is dead, which basically leaves my opponent's team as weak as a Choice Scarf Chansey.
- Hidden Power [Fire]: i love how people try to switch in their Scizor or Genesect, bitch don't switch in, im gonna hit you on the switch :]
- Psyshock: if not for this move Keldeo would probably sweep my ass every single time, but guess what? I have a STAB move that hits a defensive side you cant boost¡
- Recover: generally i dont have the time to use this move. But when Tentacruel tries to burn stall me, its funny to see them protect while i get 50% of my health back.
Why this Pokemon? Latias is so sexy man... im not kidding but getting into the analysis: Latias not meant to be a sweeper nor a wallbreaker (even though it may end up being a very good late game sweeper), its meant to cause a pain in rain and sun teams, as well as hard countering Sheer Force Lando. I messed up the EV spread so this Ltias can take a +2 LO modest Sludge Bomb from Venusaur, though it OHKOs with rocks up i mught change the EV spread but whatever.
Threat List: note that this threats are only to the whole team, because if i see, lets say, Terrakion, i will keep Gliscor to not get swept by it.
CM Reuniclus:: as you may have noticed i don't really have a safe answer to this piece of crap, since TTar cannot 2HKO with Crunch with my EV spread and the entire team is set-up fodder.
Genesect + Dugtrio: terrakion is my first switch to Genesect, and Dugy comes in and traps me, this basically puts me between a sword and a hard place, but i can work around it.
Gliscor Stall: the team has no spinner, and my best hard hitter is Terrakion, and if Gliscor is on the opposing team it is basically useless, i have no chance against this type of teams.
So that's it guys, thanks for reading, and if you see something that can be better, leave a rate. Remember that i dont know how will this work on the Suspect Test, but i've honestly stopped going on PS, i never get good battles.
