*TacoBell*
Relaxed|Levitate
252 Hp|252 SpDef|4 Def
Light Screen
Reflect
Stealth Rock
Explosion
Evs: Bronzong most of the time goes down to special attacks, so max special defense, max hp is obvious, and the rest go into defense.
Moves: Light Screen and Reflect are wonderful for letting Suicune and Scizor set up, while helping Gengar beat Blissey, as WishBliss can no longer come even close to breaking his subs. Stealth rock helps nail down ohkos, and is very helpful. Explosion helps me take down threats that need to be gone, such as jolteon and machamp.
Final Opinion: Great suggestion by Snorlaxe, I think it will work great :)
*JJ*
Latias|Expert Belt
Timid|Levitate
4 Hp|252 SpAtk|252 Spe
Surf
Thunderbolt
Hidden Power
Dragon Pulse
Evs: There is an old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". This describes JJ's evs, as the tried and true spread of 252/252 works just as well here as it does everywhere else.
Moves: Surf makes Latias a great counter for Heatran, one of the only pokemon who can stop my Scizor from sweeping. Thunderbolt is great coverage, hurting many water types, as well as flying types. The next two moves are what give BaiTias a spot on my team: dragon pulse and hidden power fire. I chose dragon pulse over draco meteor, because Latias is meant to take out Heatran and Scizor, but a draco meteor + the coverage move doesn't ko, while it does with dragon pulse. Hidden power fire baits and kos Scizor, as well as hurting Magnezone and Foretress.
Final Opinion: JJ is a great team member, really drawing and koing the biggest of my team's problems. She will be really hard to replace, but not impossible.
*OU lol*
Scizor|Leftovers
Adamant|Technician
160 HP|176 Atk|172 SpD
Bullet Punch
Bug Bite
Swords Dance
Roost
Evs: Gotten from Snorlaxe also, they allow me to set up on weak special attackers, and give it more bulk overall. The speed isn't really missed. It also helps with the Starmie problem.
Moves: This is where my team takes a little trip to the unique side. Swords dance is amazing at giving him the attack he needs to sweep, while roost lets him nab multiple swords dances on anything that can't 2hko him. Bullet punch is what turned Scizor into the #1 overused pokemon, and what earned him his nickname. Bug bite is what is unique on this set, as with technician and STAB, it reaches 135 base power, much more powerful than any of his other moves. Normally, bulky SD Scizors require brick break or superpower, but with Latias and Magnezone removing Skarmory, Magnezone and Heatran (the reasons for that), they are just not needed. Bug bite also allows Scizor to ko one of his biggest counters, Celebi.
Final Opinion: Scizor is what the team is built around, and won't be replaced, period. Bulky SD was, IMO, the easiest way to sweep. Scizor is the best sweeper, and this is his best set.
*Tsukioni*
Suicune|Life Orb
Timid|Pressure
4 Hp|252 SpAtk|252 Spe
Calm Mind
Surf
Ice Beam
Hidden Power
Evs: *Sigh* I'm getting pretty tired of simple spreads, are you? Anyways, standard spread, gives plenty of speed, as well as plenty of power.
Moves: Very standard as well. Suicine holds an immense amount of power after just one calm mind, and after two or more, can be unstoppable with its natural bulk. Surf is basic, strong STAB, which has excellent neutral coverage, only being resisted by water and grass, which are covered by Tsukioni's other moves. Speaking of coverage, that's what ice beam and hidden power electric are here for, to ko pokemon that resist Suicune's surf, such as Breloom or Vaporeon.
Final Opinion: Great poke, if only it had base 90 speed. Helps get rid of Skarm, which greatly helps Scizor, while enjoing the lack of Blissey due to Magnezone, Gengar and Scizor. This would probably be the second member to change, if any. I was also looking into a bulky, rest talk set
*Gary*
Gengar|Life Orb
Timid|Levitate
4 Def|252 SpAtk|252 Spe
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Pain Split
Substitute
Evs: One more time? They give Gary speed, and a ton of power. The last point goes to defense, instead of hp, to power up pain split.
Moves: Once, I played a match of OU against the legendary Negator. He destroyed me, thanks to this same exact Gengar (Video Here). I wanted to try it out even since, and it earned its way onto this team. Now, onto the moves. Shadow ball is basic STAB, and has perfect neutral coverage with focus blast, my other attacking move. Substitute is great, protecting Gary from Scizor, as well as status. Normally, a sub set would use leftovers, right? With life orb, Gengar would lose too much health, and would be easily koed. My last move solves that problem: pain split. When Gary is getting low in health or runs across a Blissey, BAM! This is pretty much the only
Gengar that can beat blissey 1 on 1, as well as weaking the opposing team immensly if it gets a sub up.
Final Opinion: Gengar is great, as he gives my team some much needed speed. He weakens pokemon such as Salamence, to the point where they can be killed with a bullet punch from Scizor. Gary will be hard to replace.
*Maggy*
Magnezone|Choice Scarf
Modest|Magnet Pull
134 Hp|252 SpAtk|124 Spe
Thunderbolt
Flash Cannon
Hidden Power
Explosion
Evs: Finally, the evs get creative! I originally had enough speed to outrun Heatran with max speed and a boosting nature, but I changed it to outrun neutral natured base 90's. Max special attack is obvious, while the rest of the evs are dumped into hp to give Maggy some bulk.
Moves: Thunderbolt is obvious for Maggy, allowing it to ko Skarmory, one of the biggest threats to Scizor. It's also STAB, and who wouldn't have STAB on Maggy? Explosion is great, as it takes down a Suicune who has too many calm minds, or anything that I need gone, fast. When you saw hidden power, I'm guessing you thought fire, right? Well you were wrong, its ground. The reason that I chose ground was to ohko Heatran and Magnezone, which are two of Scizor's biggest counters. It still takes care of all the steels except for Scizor (hurt badly by tbolt, and should already have been koed by Latias) and Skarmory (tbolt is an ohko). Okay, since Scizor already takes care of grass types like Celebi, flash cannon has replaced signal beam, to allow less free switchins, such as choice scarf Flygon, who could u-turn on my team and gain momentum.
Final Opinion: Maggy holds the team together, kind of like gorilla glue. It takes down sweepers that would sweep, and takes out all of Scizor's counters, even Zappy. The only thing that needs to be changed on this poke would be a better nickname (Maggy is LAME) and maybe a better ev spread.
Team summary:
This team has great synergy, with Latias and Magnezone taking out Scizor's biggest counters, while Scizor takes out Suicunes biggest counters, while Gengar breaks down the opposing team until they can be swiftly koed. While it is a great team, there is always room for improvement, and thats where you guys come in :)
