Inferno Blitz!
Hello, Im Glory Blaze and this is my first RMT on Smogon, so Please enjoy it. It will be on my Best sun team and I have worked on this team for about a month now. It peaked at 1300, and yes, i gave it the name Inferno Blitz!Team Building
The whole ' Sun Team' thing started when i felt like making a sun team one day. So of course, i put in ninetales. I wanted ninetales to live long, so i made it specially defencive.
After i thought through that, i thought of adding a Lead, so i had to choose between Choice scarfed Darmanitan and Choice scarfed Victini,so i chose victini. Its Cuteness is also a plus :D
Next i thought of adding a rapid spinner, so i thought donphan would do great, and ice shard gets rid of dragons, so i put him in the team.
After that, i thought of having some sweepers in the team, so i added a special sweeper, Volcarona, and a physical sweeper, Dragonite. Venusaur was great, but too easy to revenge kill, while Volcarona, on the other hand, isnt.
Now i had everything i need, a lead, a rapid spinner, 2 defencive pokemon and 2 sweepers, and a spot for a pokemon left. So i thought about using that last pokemon as a support pokemon to help the sweepers sweep. A Chlorophyll pokemon was my first thought, and since i didnt want another stealth rock weak pokemon (sorry Jumpluff) i chose venusaur.
Now that the team was done, i started laddering, and i found out something important. I have nothing to take outrage and not get OHKOed by it. So i changed Donphan to forretress, which resists dragons and used spikes too! :D
Now that is the making of my sun team and from a ninetales to how it is today. Now I shall explain each pokemon in detail!
Team In Detail
Soheal! (Victini) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Victory Star
EVs: 252 HP / 144 Atk / 112 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Final Gambit
- U-turn
- V-create
- Fusion Bolt
This is my lead for the Sun team as i like to start battles off with some things fast. It also is a reliable hard hitter with v-create in sun. Final Gambit is the most useful move in the set as its used to defeat politoad and tyranitar in one hit as well as dragonite, heatran and other threats to the team. Hippowdon is the only weather starter though which can survive Final Gambit making it my only True counter.The Evs are to make sure the opponent dies from Final Gambit, Which always deals 404 hp when victini is at full health.
Dedebird! (Ninetales) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drought
EVs: 252 HP / 120 SDef / 136 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Will-O-Wisp
- Substitute
- Protect
My special wall! It might not be like Blissey or Jellicent, but it works ok and takes attacks like a boss! Sad thing is that it has no recovery, but it has flamethrower for hitting stuff, will-o-wisp to burn threats which would demolish all my pokemon and substitute with protect for burn stalling or Toxic stalling with toxic spikes from forretress!
Mystogan! (Forretress) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 176 Def / 80 Spd
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Gyro Ball
My physical wall, entry hazard setter and rapid spinner! I consider this guy the most important pokemon in the whole team because if he died and stealth rock is up, then im pretty much screwed, as most of my team is weak to Stealth Rock. Gyro ball is pretty much to kill sweepers, and it 2hkoes threats like dragonite, salamence, haxorus, terrakion, landorus and many more!Sturdy helps too as it lets me survives OHKOs expecially with fire moves.
Zancrow! (Volcarona) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 240 HP / 216 Def / 52 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Morning Sun
My special sweeper and probably the best one of the 2. Its a bulky special sweeper and after 3 quiver dances, its pretty much unstoppable, and the only thing that stands in its way is terrakion or landorus come in when volcarona is at +1 quiver dance or when it gets haxed. Paralysis is annoying too as well as being intoxicated. Its evs are to make it physically bulky to take physical attacks, heal them away with morning sun, and burn the opponent with flame body!
Oldmanoak! (Dragonite) (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Claw
- Dragon Dance
- Fire Punch
- Earthquake
Now we get to the Dragon pokemon in my team. He pretty much is a late game sweeper and is powerful like hell! i originally had extremespeed on it, but i noticed heatran was a threat as well as chandelure, so earthquake takes care of them.I would like Outrage on it, but i dont like being locked on moves and lum berry is to be able to take toxic, burns from scald and thunder waves while laughing at the opponent. The evs are to make the most of its offence and multiscale acts like a +2 in defence only when having full health.
Big Mama! (Venusaur) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Chlorophyll
EVs: 192 HP / 252 Def / 64 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Sleep Powder
The last pokemon in my team which is my venusaur is used as a support pokemon to help the 2 former pokemon. The evs are to make it fully defencive, while its ability Chloryphyll is to double its speed to take full advantage of the sun as well as supporting Volcarona and dragonite with putting the opponent to sleep so the others can setup. Leech seed combines well with toxic spikes from forretress to stall the opponent. Its also awesome as it heals dragonite back to full health giving it more than one chance to use multiscale!. HP fire is to kill grass types, which are immune to leech seed. Its also nice that people predict the special growth set, until they see leech seed and substitute, making them lose the game. Venusaur is very important to the team, and dont ask me "Why is it called 'Big Mama' if its male?"
Now that was my sun team and i hope you enjoyed seeing it, please rate it and im going to try Making more RMTs in the future.
Thanks For Reading This!
