Hey everybody, this is my first RMT but I've been lurking on this site for a decent amount of time now. This team is a decent team that I've been working on recently but I just can't seem to find where to go with it and I would appreciate any help you guys could give. So without further ado...my first RMT.
So for my lead I decided that i wanted someone who could stop stealth rock leads and just annoy the enemy team right off the start. I also hadn't tried very many dream world abilities so Sableye seemed like the natural choice.
Sableye@leftovers
Ev's: 244hp 128def 128sp.def 8spe
Careful Nature (+Sp.Def -Sp.Attk)
Taunt
Will-O-Wisp
Recover
Knock Off
The Ev's are just there to provide "decent" bulk (it's a sableye what can you expect) and the 8 speed Ev's are to outspeed other sableye w/taunt
Sableye can handle a decent amount of leads such as hippo or ttar with taunt and will-o-wisp respectively. And if I predict a switch i can knock-off to cripple whatever comes in. I used careful nature because i can already cripple physical attackers with will-o-wisp.
Next I wanted to use another pokemon that I have never really used that much and I don't really like it so suggestions welcome.
Slaking@Choice Band
Ev's 252 Attk 252 Spe 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+attk -Sp.Attk)
Return
Hammer Arm
Night Slash
Ice Punch
This moveset provides decent coverage and I don't really know if I should change it up. Night Slash really helps me against reuniclus which my only other check is my own (calm mind war.....) Other than that this thing hits like a truck but I really can't stand that Slaking is carelessly slaking off nonsense so suggestions are welcome.
Next I wanted a bulky set up sweeper so I decided on one that had given me trouble with other teams I have used so enter....reuniclus
Reuniclus@leftovers
Ev's 252 Hp 252 Def 4 Spe
Bold Nature (+Def -Attk)
Calm Mind
Psychic(Shadow Ball?)
Focus Blast
Recover
This is just a standard reuniclus that i've seen on PO but it's been very useful to me. A lot of teams aren't able to handle it too well especially after it has set up. The only thing that really takes it out is CB Scizor's U-turn or other things obviously but it's the first that comes to mind. This is also pretty much the only answer I have to Blaziken which is why I'm hesitant to use shadow ball and lose the super effective damage but then I am left Reuniclus weak so suggestions would be nice.
At this point I realized I needed a defensive core so enter jellicent and Ferrothorn.
Jellicent@leftovers
Ev's 248 Sp.Def 252 HP 8 Spe
Calm Nature (+Sp.Def -Attk)
Evil Eye
Surf
Toxic
Recover
This thing is good and I mean good with it's good typing, bulk and access to immediate recovery it can "tank" a lot of hits and hit back with toxic and then 150base power evil eye (including stab) or a powerful surf. The Ev's are fairly simple, just max HP and Sp.Def but with 8 speed ev's to outspeed other Jellicents. This Thing has worked wonders for me and is very helpful for my team.
Ferrothorn@leftovers
Ev's 252 HP 252 Def
Impish Nature (+Def -Sp. Attk)
Gyro Ball
Power Whip
Leech Seed
Stealth Rock
Ferrothorn provides entry hazards and leech seed support. Nothing much here just a ferrothorn. It's physically defensive to compliment jellicent very nicely and the two have very nice synergy together resisting the hits the other can't take. Gyro Ball and Power Whip are for STAB and I use power whip because if I am up against something that is really slow then gyro ball will be very weak so the 120(?) Base Power of Power Whip is very nice.
So for the 6th member of my team I realized i needed a revenge killer so I went with the cooliest thing evar.....GENESECT!!! :D
Genesect@Choice Scarf
Ev's 252 Sp.Attk 252 Spe 4 HP
Timid Nature(+Spe -Attk)
Thunderbolt
Flamethrower
Ice Beam
Bug Buzz
I love this thing it's very helpful in all of my battles especially if I can snag a Sp.Attk boost. He has excellent coverage with the infamous Bolt Beam combo. Bug Buzz is there for STAB and it hits Reuniclus for SE Damage. He helps me revenge a lot of threats but I'm thinking about changing flamethrower to HP Ground for Heatrans as I've been having trouble dealing with them seeing as he's immune to will o wisp and toxic. However, if I get rid of flamethrower than I am weak to Ferrothorn.
I really like this team but whenever I see a blaziken I pretty much say gg and reuniclus also poses big problems so any advice would be appreciated. Other threats that I have noticed while testing today are techniloom and Conkeldurr (if using shadow ball on Reuniclus)
