Gen 4 blues a Chicago

blues a Chicago
written and directed by coco

Hello guys! what's up?!..
It's coco and today i want to show you one of my succesfull team i made which i'am very proud of.
We all know how dpp changed though the years and after the dug ban finally found his balance.
Before introducing this team, i just want to thanks all the people i met during this long journey; dpp community always meant to me an happy place where to learn and to improve, as well as an wonderful place where to share the dpp passion with some amazing players which inspired me and keep inspiring me(and maybe not only).
Mentioning one would be not right; so i just want to thanks all the dpp community - you know who are you and let you know that i love you! thanks for your time :)

to be honest, this is one of the most standard team i made(i am most knows as gimmicky players), and i changed 2 times the team and it's probably gonna change again, but I always wanted to keep the same structure even if some mons changed.
The team strategy is "to maximize the pressure on opponent team by trying to not give him the momentum".
This happens quite often, because hazards, fast taunters, scarfer, mix attacher and the latagame sweeper - empo - all do their job..and even if the mon changes, the strategy always keeps the same.

This team is not hard to use and i'll explain why..

Since ages Azelf always been one of the best suicide lead thanks his great versatility, movepool, explosion. Who is better than him on this team?probably no-one.
I've seen so many Ttar lead, so i went for fast-zelf with colbur berry to let my zelf safely sets the rocks up against ttar and if possible fuck other slow-lead-zelf up.
Once our suicide lead set the rocks up, hit someone hard with explosion "the show" goes on.

The Skarmory spread does not let common Gyara/Nite set up, while it becomes an absolutely cancer against slow teams especially once spikes are up. The shed shell is absolutely lovely, because once Magnezone comes in, Latias does it too and thanks this movepool and hazards hit hard most of her common checks.
The TTar and Latias is absolutely needed for obvious reasons; as well as for synergy/tyiping reason both give a bit of "bulkness".
With SR and 1 layer of spikes up, latias 2hkoes the specially def jira which looks good for Empo.
80 HP on Rotom to give a more bulkness, it takes (with out rocks damages) +1 from offensive Wfall Gyara, +1 Pump from Offensive cune, Pump from mie.
I went for the H version, coz of Overheat.
Double scarf is something i always loved; it's quite good with hazards up and in this kind of team fits incredbily good.
Once the Opponent team is enough weak, Empo cleans the team; i do not think i need to explain how good this mon can be once his common checks/walls and opp team is weak.
