Hey guys and welcome to possibly my last RMT thread for a while. Me leaving has nothing to do with this place but my grades are dropping and it looks like spending too much time on my computer is the problem. Since pokemon is a large reason why I get on the computer a lot I think its time to quit. So I present to you my last team...
Ok so this is a team I made with the help of TAY. I was having trouble making a team and I just wanted to ask somebody for help since I haven't really haven't abused any platinum changes as of yet. TAY gladly helped and this is the team that we made ^_^. It has gotten me to a rating of over 1500. I'm pretty happy with that since it is the first team that has gotten me this high (yeah I suck lol. I usually make it to the upper 1300's or 1400s).
At a glance
I bet you can guess a few sets just from looking at the pokes? Well you may be able to get an idea or two but I doubt you will get the ENTIRE set right.
Synergy
My basic strategy with this team is to utilize spikes and SR to their fullest potential. Whether it is causing switches or just forcing out my opponent with shear attacking force.
As you can see the types are very well covered
Ok now lets get in-depth
In-Depth
Deoxys-S[Usain Bolt] @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EV's: 252 HP / 140 Def / 88 Spd / 28 SDef
Careful Nature(+SDef, -SAtk)
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
- Recover
Deoxys-S leads off the army in a dominant fashion. Outspeeding every lead except other Deoxys-S (see EV spread). Deoxys-S is very important to my overall strategy since it sets up the spikes and stealth rock. Taunts MixPert, Hippowdon and suicide leads. This guy enjoys those suicide leads too. They are basically set up bait for me. Once they can't taunt or use SR they have no choice but to go suicide or just switch out. With three layers of spikes and SR set up. My opponent will take 12 to 50% of their health.
The weird thing about this set is the EV spread... why so bulky? Well I wanna be able to get up everything instead of settling for just SR. So a bulky spread was mandatory. The careful nature helps it take hits better also. Recover works really well with this bulky spread as it allows me to continually recover health until I have enough to set up some more. While doing this many people forget that pressure will build up.
The moveset is pretty self explanatory. Sets up spikes, SR and taunts stuff. Recover is for recovery of course.
Deoxys is named Usain Bolt because he is extremely fast...duh.

Lucario (M) [Bruce Lee] @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EV's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature(+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Bullet Punch
- Ice Punch
Lucario starts the physical assault on my team. A somewhat weird set but this guy has swept many teams with ease and is has accounted for over half my victories. I prefer this guy to SpecsLuke. I understand that SpecsLuke is making a comeback ect. but I enjoy this luke better since it still adds a somewhat surprise factor to my team but it has more sweeping ability imo since it doesn't have to switch out whenever my opponent sends in a pokemon that resist the choiced move.
EV's are pretty standard here the thing about this set is the nature. I ran a jolly nature>adamant because
Then the attacking moves... ok Close Combat is NEEDED on lucario lol. Bullet Punch is for Mismagius and Gengar thinking they can switch in only fearing crunch but they outspeed me and can KO right? WRONG after a SD they are OHKOd by Bullet Punch. Ice Punch OHKO's Salamence and Gliscor easily with SR.
If you don't know why Lucario is named bruce lee well... HE OWNZ HARD. XD.
----------
Gyarados (M) [Muhammad Ali] @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EV's: 156 HP / 108 Atk / 100 Def / 144 Spd
Adamant Nature(+Atk ,-SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Taunt
- Stone Edge
- Waterfall
Even in a world with such a powerful grass type like Skymin, Gyarados remains one of the most feared pokes in the game. Running through teams with ease even when they have "counters" is not an easy task. Well I was talking about the LO set which I am clearly not running =P. BulkyDos may seem outdated but with Lucario and Scizor running about I found it to be almost necessary. It also covers Lucario's weaknesses nicely.
Pretty standard EV's for Bulky Dos. I may just add the attack EV's in HP since they really have no effect on the amount of damage he does. WHAT IS 4 POINTS DOING? With intimidate this guy is extremely bulky.
Ok so DD, Taunt and Attack. Speed issues make it hard but since he is bulky he can do it xD.
Named after Muhammad Ali because he "Floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee". Well if you don't get that logic lets look at the facts.
Gyarados adds a ground immunity hence floats like a butterfly. Once it finds an open area it stings like a bee.
Gave it new spread thanks to Legacy Raider and for RaikouLover for making the spread.

Rotom-H [MC Hammer] @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EV's: 252 HP / 248 Def / 8 Spd
Bold Nature(+Def, -Atk)
- Discharge
- Will o Wisp
- Overheat
- Shadow Ball
Rotom is the only true wall on this team. He also provides anti-spin support. I like this form for his ability to counter Scizor XD. It also makes a extremely good Metagross counter. He also beats all the common spinners like Starmie. Both stab moves dispose of it.
EV's are for bulkiness.
Moveset is self explanatory for what I want it to do.
Named after MC hammer because of the immunities he brings.

Porygon2 [Average Joe] @ Leftovers
Ability: Trace
EV's: 252 HP / 120 Def / 40 SAtk / 96SDef
Modest Nature(+SAtk, -Atk)
- Discharge
- Thunder Wave
- Ice Beam
- Recover
Almost finished. Ok porygon2 is a pretty unique pokemon. Being able to switch into every Eveelution and Heatran, Gyarados and Salamence is nothing to laugh at. Sadly Platinum didn't really give him anything
The EV's provide lots of bulk for him. Recover lets him take even more hits.
Ok so he has the pseudo bolt beam combo there. T-Wave makes things slow for my last sweeper. Discharge also can spread some paralysis around. Recover is for recovery.
He is named average joe because he is normal and I couldn't think of anything better lol.
Gave it new spread. Thanks to Legacy Raider.

Jirachi [Superstar] @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EV's: 252 HP / 80 SpA / 176 Spe
Timid Nature(+Spd, -Atk)
- Psychic
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
Jirachi is my late game sweeper. Not much else to say =P.

- I outspeed Salamence
