Heya, scrubs.
This is the 3rd RMT I've posted since I joined Smogon in early January, and probably the best one to date. This got me from low 1400s (I hit this awful tilt when Pokeaim beat me on the ladder), to this rank:
Webs in general RIP UP the current ladder metagame (Swagplay, Evasionpass, Ladderscrubs, HHHHHO), and is a great team that I'd recommend using for grinding.
This team was inspired by a webs team made by Orch, which got me through rounds 1, 2 and 3 of Haruno's XY Ubers tournament. Without further ado - the team!
Gravity (Smeargle) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Nuzzle
- Magic Coat
- Sticky Web
- Taunt
Sandra Bullock and George Clooney OP.
The main reason I chose Smeargle over Shuckle is, sadly, the abundance of strategies like Swagger and Evasion pass on the PS! Ubers ladder. That being said, though - Smeargle has pulled its weight mostly every game. Unless riddled with an opposing lead Cloyster, Scolipede, Zekrom or ESpeed Deo-A, it manages to offensively cripple a member of the team with Nuzzle, and set down the all-important Sticky Web, the glue that holds this team together (and holds the opposing team down).
Edge of Tomorrow (Lucario-Mega) @ Lucarionite
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Bullet Punch
He's Cruisin' through Ubers, killing enemies, respawning them and killing them again.
The only real safe ins to this thing are Klefki, the Giratinas, Lugia (with lack of Stealth Rocks being up) and bulky Steels that have a secondary resist to Fighting. Come in on a pink blob with webs and rocks up, set up Swords Dance, and proceed to win the game. Not even Groudon can switch into this thing - unboosted Close Combat deals ~60%, an EASY 2HKO.
Also acts as the Mon to finish off the nigh-on omnipresent Xerneas after being weakened a bit.
Captain Phillips (Kyogre) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Water Spout
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Thunder
Take no hostages. Drown them all.
Standard Specsogre - fits on literally every webs team. The firepower this thing packs is absolutely monstrous - AV Palkia after switching into rocks twice gets 2HKO'd. It check numerous threats to this team with its sheer, blistering 550+ SpA, boosted by rain and STAB with a 150 base power move to begin with.
...Boom.
The Dark Knight (Yveltal) @ Life Orb
Ability: Dark Aura
EVs: 48 Atk / 236 SAtk / 224 Spd
Rash Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Sucker Punch
- Oblivion Wing
- Taunt
Pretty freakin' self-explanatory.
This thing acts as a wallbreaker should the monstrosity that is SpecsOgre somehow fail - taunt is always useful, Sucker Punch provides me much needed priority, and the EVs are specifically for Mega-Gengar, avoiding the OHKO off of Oblivion Wing, taunting it, and oblivion wing'ing again :)
Neighbours (Dialga) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Spd / 252 SDef
Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
- Toxic
- Ice Beam
When this thing gets sent out, hilarity ensues.
Dual Status Dialga catches literally every laddertard and pro player by surprise. It can take a hit from Scarfogre with ease, it's got Stealth Rocks which really patch the team's Lugia weakness, and ice beam is a very spammable move, easily damaging most Mons that would stay in on Dialga, even after its set is revealed.
If an EKiller tries to set up on this thing - Thunder Wave. It can also take +2 Extremespeed with ease - this thing carries so much weight on the team.
This thing is literally my favorite mon to use right now - it's dual status Darkrai gen 5 all over again!
Avenger (Arceus-Ground) @ Earth Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Recover
Yes, I'm aware it's an EKiller wallpaper. Live with it.
As for the movie title - this thing has the power of the Hulk, the innovation of Iron Man, the frisbees of Captain America, the hammer of Thor (if you know what I mean), the accuracy of Hawkeye, the intelligence of Nick Fury, and the general sex appeal of Scarlett Johanson.
The best part about having a ground type Arceus? That Zekrom will have no idea what it's just done when it clicks Bolt Strike. Great late-game sweeper, webs allow it to spam Earthquake - it rounds off the team nicely.
Well, that's it for this scrub's RMT - like, comment, rate and share as you want, and enjoy!
General shoutouts to all the (BAN ME PLEASE) in the PS! Ubers room - you know who you are.
Threats/threatlist is scattered throughout the RMT.
