ecstacy-

2. A state of emotion so intense that one is carried beyond rational thought and self-control: an ecstasy of rage.

INTRODUCTION

Hello Smogon Community.This is my 3rd RMT and my Favorite Ecstasy.This team came to me from watching a show (Don't know what show was watching a random channel),so i looked up what the word meant.As you can see where i posted the definitions it has to do with emotions.Anyway i named my pokemon after emotions of how they make me feel so first let me go on with the Team Building.

TEAM BUILDING

I based this team around 3 pokemon.Roserade,Jellicent, and Tyranitar all very good pokemon in this Ou MetaGame.

They all covered each other weaknesses,and got rid of pokemon that try to annoy them.Now i added Latios so i can outspeed dragons and Scizor to for strong physical Priority.

The final slot i needed something to get rid of hazards so i decided on Starmie because of its great speed,and good special attack.

TEAM AT A GLANCE

*Pride* (Roserade) (F) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SDef
Calm Nature
- Giga Drain
- Rest
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Spikes

Roserades Job is to setup Hazards and Take out Steels with Hp Fire and get rid of Ground types with Giga Drain.Roserade can 2HKO Hippowdon, and can 3HKO Tyranitar.Whats good about Roserade is her Great Special Defense.She can live a Psychic from Alakazam.Also some Fire attacks from Fire Pokemon.Also when i come in and expect my opponent to switch i can use Rest and return and be at Full Health again.Roserade is The Core of this team as she has Synergy with about every pokemon on this team.Roserade is one threat in this metagame that alot of teams are not prepared for.[She Represents the pride of this team.Roserade is also the only Hazard setter i have on this team right now.So it is a really Important part of this team.It also walls alot of pokemon that would potenially Sweep my team.Roserade is the only girl on this team thats why she has Synergy with alot of the team.Also i named her Pride because she represents America ,So we have Pride in our Country.

*Jealousy* (Jellicent) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Scald
- Shadow Ball
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover

Jellicent is a great pokemon on this team.It is good at burning those Tyranitars that try to eat it and my other pokes.It also Walls a very strong Rain Threat Keldeo.And it is a Special Defense master wall.Jellicent is very hard to stop with special Moves mostly because recover helping it stay alive.I might replace Will o Wisp with Toxic because i have a good chance to burn with scald and i can Toxic pokemon like Gastrodon or and other wall that comes in on Jellicent.Shadow ball is there for some of those Ghost and Psychics that come in on Jellicent thinking they are safe from Danger.Jellicent is also the Only Spin Blocker on my team.Without Jellicent Getting down Hazards would be a waste of time.I am really Happy Jellicent is on this team.It has a Easy Time dealing with Rain Teams, and a Easier time Dealing with Keldeos.Jellicent is a Pokemon i would never Replace.

*Anger* (Tyranitar) (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Stream
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Superpower
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit
- Crunch

Tyranitar is the BOSSMON.I run a Choice Band Set because i really hate physical walls so i make them cry and destroy them with a Physical move.Superpower Destroy Ferrothorns.Stone Edge 3hko Skarmorys.Pursuit is the main reason i choose TTar.Lati@s gets owned can celebi get owned to if they get Caught by my TTar.Crunch is there if i feel like hitting hard just incase when they switch i can still do alot of damage to their switch in.TTar is the master of the Choice Band able to destroy anything in his path when he gets angry.I am thinking about replacing TTar with Hippo.Why Hippo is good at walling Physical attackers and he can get Stealth Rock up Extremely Easy.Through i am also have second Though because TTar is my Pursuit Trapper ,but at the same time i also have Scizor as a Pursuit Trapper so it is something that i have to test out.Also adding Hippo will give me 3 pokemon weak to Ice so i am really not sure about adding it.

*Justice* (Scizor) (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
IVs: 30 SAtk
- U-turn
- Superpower
- Pursuit
- Bullet Punch

Scizor has a very important job on this team.Its called U-Turn.Scizor is supposed to U-turn and get me to the Appropriate counter.With out Scizor this team wont be as good as it is.Superpower is to Nail heatran and Ferrothorn.Pursuit is to get The Lati@s twins and celebi and anything else that it is SE to.Bullet Punch is another reason i choose Scizor it Destroys Terrakion and Tyranitar very Easily.Scizor is a key part that makes this team Functions well.Scizor is also my main revenge Killer.With it alot of pokemon i battle have a hard time beating my team because Scizor can come in Pursit or Bullet Punch, and most importantly U-Turn when i am in a Disadvantage.Scizor is Huge Asset to this team and i really don't have any intentions on replacing him.

*Relief* (Latios) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Trick
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Latios has a huge job on this team and that is to get rid of Dragons.Without Latios Garchomp,Salamence, and Kyurem-B would be a huge Threat to my Team.Latios is supposed to come in with Scizors U-Turn Support and kill what ever dragon is on the field.Latios can destroy Stall teams with trick so they wont be able to do anything back.Psyshock is for keldeos and terrakions if my main counter pokes dont take care of them.Hp Fire is for Annoying Steels that think they can wall me[THINK AGAIN].I am actually thinking about replacing latios with latias.Why you may ask because Venusaur is a huge Threat to this team and by adding Latias it will have a Harder time trying to sweep my Team.However Latios Is always a pokemon i can Count on when i need it.

*Happiness* (Starmie) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Surf
- Recover
- Rapid Spin
- Ice Beam

Starmie is my Only spinner.It brings me Happiness once those Hazards are gone so i can get back to trying to end my opponent.Surf is to hurt and thing that i am not SE to with my water STAB.Recover is so Starmie can keep doing its job.Rapid Spin is to get rid of Pesky Hazards.Ice Beam are for ugly dragons that dont have choice Scarf on.This team really needs starmie or i have to deal with dumb hazards that are really annyoing after awhile of taking damage.Starmie brings me alot of Happiness.Starmie has alot of trouble spinning sometimes.With Scizor and Tyranitar running around its hard to get Starmie in Safely Sometimes.Starmie is the pokemon i probably feel the most insecure about this pokemon because spinning take alot of predicting and Starmie makes it harder ,but so far i am going to this with Starmie.

Threat List

Venusaur is the biggest Threat to this team it has the ability to 6-0 this team in sun.I normally use Latios to try to Revenge kill it ,but i might try Latias with that great special bulk will make it easier to defeat.Also in sun the Venusaur OutSpeed my Latios making it a Huge Set if they Setup Sun.

Volcorona is a huge Threat to my team it has the ability to sweep my whole team besides Jellicent.If Jellicent Dies and they have a Volc it is gg.I am thinking about adding Hippowdon for Stealth Rock to make dealing with this easier.

Conclusion
Thank you if you have read my Rmt.I have put alot into this working for about 2 hours trying to get it how i want ,and it is still going forward.This team is probably the best team i have made going 10-0 so far.My Rank is almost in the 1800+ Range so i am hoping this team will go really far and that when i am done with this team completely and try to get Higher on that ladder , I can reach the Top 10 and Higher.PLZ Comment and Luvdisc

Things to look forward to
-Replay Box

Testing
-Hippowdon Over Tyranitar

-Toxic over Shadow Ball on Jellicent

-Latias Over Latios

Importable

first of all hello Scotti, this is a really solid and strong team, and for find some flaws i thinked a lot. First of all you are running with 3 choice pok, and is not good, it can be a waste and your pok can be a set up fodder, i think you should run a special defensive tyra with SR a really important move, this set should be good: tyranitar @ chople berry,(m)
Trait: sand stream
Nature: sassy
Evs: 252 hp,252 spdef, 4 spatk
Moves:
Stealth Rock
Pursuit
Stone edge
Fire blast
this set block escaping lati@s twins with no problems, hit other weather setters for SE damage (nine) and good damage to poli,thanks to STAB stone, you can kill switch scizors with fire blast and 2HKO skar with the same move,and kill Ferro and forretress too, SR add residual damage and with sand is a good combo, this set did not allow any spinner to come in,and chople berry is here for resist fight move and for resist stoutland that can kill your whole team.
Like what I said before I think that stoutland is a good problem for you: return hit hard all of your teammates, bar scizor(owned by fire fang) and tyra (owned by superpower) , crunch hit lati@s and starmie and jelli and roserade can be killed by some returns or fire fang. If you use that tyra set, you can survive a SP, and put SR, or hit him with stone but you no kill him.yes stoutland outspeed latios. By seeing roserade I no think it is all this power... If I am obbligated to use a grass type I normally use celebi, with support or bulky offensive. I think you should replace roserade with celebi, he can resist a crunch and hit him with twave or other stuffs. I think this sec can work for you, a bulky offensive set:
Celebi @leftovers
trait : natural cure
nature : modest
Evs: 252 hp, 252 spatk, 4 speed
Moves:
Hiddenpower (fire)/psychic
Recover
Thunderwave
Giga drain
This set help you to deal with stoutland, he no kill celebi with one crunch (bar hax) and you can paralize him with no problems, and start recovering or using giga drain. HP fire is for hit scizor, forretress Ferro and skarmory, for no let them hit you hard, but psychic is a good option : hit hard dragons, keldeo, lando and company. This is all I have to say, but one last thing: that jellicent is outspeeded by scizor, put some evs in speed to outspeed him and try to burn him with scald or WOW, (personally I use toxic over WOW, sometimes it is better) and replace shadow ball with taunt is better. Good luck with your team ;)

hey man, sorry for the quickly rate but i'm in a hurry so i haven't a lot of time to rate your team right now. however, i'd give you some advice because it looks a very cool team on paper. first off, your team seems weak to any kind of sun teams, venusaur can 6-0'd you if sun is up and even volcarona seems a big threat to deal with. quiver dance, fire blast, bug buzz and giga drain and it'll sweep your whole team. to solve your volcarona problem without change too much on your current team you should try toxic somewhere on your jellicent, probably instead of shadow ball. while it's a great answer to starmie which can bypass jellicent, you haven't any special defense investiment on it, so starmie can just 2hko you with a life orbed thunderbolt. otherwise toxic would allow you to poison badly volcarona and to stall out it with some prediction, it shouldn't be too hard to do. other threats for your team, as i already said, chlorophyll sweepers like venusaur, victreebel, lilligant etcetera which can all sweep your team if sun is up (little notice: your tyranitar can be easily killed by dugtrio and sun teams can win the weather war against your team most of the time, which is bad of course, if you want you can even try hippowdon instead of tyranitar if you want to be less dugtrio-weak, it isn't a bad idea anyways, hippowdon checks threats like dragon-types, lucario and it has even the stealth rock which your team lacks, a team without stealth rock has of course, a bigger weak to volcarona than a team with stealth rock) and if your scizor is dead (another notice: cb scizor doesn't ohko venusaur for example, so it isn't a very very good answer to venusaur which is the most common chlorophyll sweeper). for this reason, i'd try latias instead of your current choice of latios. while latias hits less hard than latios, it has at the same more bulk than her blue brother so it can check better venusaur. probably i'd use a bulky calm mind set with roar to take advantage of your entry hazards (even hidden power fire is a nice option to catch some scizor and to hit at the same time venusaur, try it if you want). i think there is no else to say, good luck with your team

Ty Pokelegend for the rate.For Ttar i am going to probably replace it with hippowdon because of its good Bulk and can get Stealth Rock down easier.

Ty Alexander i really took in all of your suggestion hippowdon is a boss at walling physcial attackers and it really help =) Also Latias i really dont know about never got to use it much.Toxic on Jellicent helped alot ty
