Alright, so I didn't really set out to make an Uber's Team, but due to Blazekien, I have to test this Team in Ubers.
ANYWAYS, I a friend showed me a Vid of an epic Shedinja sweep. Since Gen 3, Ive always wanted to make a team for him, but as of yet, unsuccessful. This team is Literally the closest I have come. It honestly took me 5-6 min to make and Ive only had 2 battles with it, but there are holes I see and Id like some second and third opinions on.
((Please, No Legendaries, I do not, and will not use Legends on a team not meant for In-Game purposes))
Shedinja @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Wonder Guard
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Jolly Nature
- Endure
- Hone Claws
- Shadow Claw
- X-Scissor
As far I can tell, this guy was literally taken off of the Video I saw. The Idea is to Baton Pass the Speed Boosts accumulated by Blazekien +the Sub, survive the hit, get a hone claw in before they switch to something that can break the sub, Endure after sub break and get hit by a super effective hit to activate Weakness Policy. Proceed to sweep. Unfortunately.... I have failed to sweep. I can set it up, but then this thing gets hit with a Stab Shadow sneak. And that is literally this guys giant Big hole.
Blaziken @ Leftovers
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Spd / 248 HP / 8 Atk
Jolly Nature
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
- Agility
- Fire Punch
In the Vid the guy was using a Combusken, Im using Blaziken. All I could remember was that it had Baton Pass and Sub. I THINK it had Agility, but I could be mistaken. I personally would like to replace Agility with Thunder Punch. Other than that, I think Blaziken works REALLY well as a Baton Passer. As I dont play Uber much, Im not really sure how common this is, but out of my two battles, Ive been able to set up Subs, get some speed boosts then Baton pass them. Something I have trouble with on my other Baton pass team.
Swampert @ Assault Vest
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Lonely Nature
- Sludge Wave
- Scald
- Avalanche
- Earthquake
Swampert is one of my three Favorite Water starters. I guess I wanted to try a offensive Swampert here. Assault Vest for even more Special Bulk. I more or less chose the moves for what I thought the team needed. Sludge wave to handle Grass type, Scald for stab and Burn. Avalanche since swampert is kinda slow, and EQ for another Stab.
Gengar @ Black Sludge
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Dark Pulse
- Dazzling Gleam
- Pain Split
I look at this setup....and I don't even know what I was trying to do. I think I wanted HP Fire for coverage, Black sludge+ Pain split for heals and such. The other two moves, Im......not really sure to be honest. Im pretty sure this guy should be replaced.
Empoleon @ Air Balloon
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 8 SDef / 76 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Defog
- Scald
- Grass Knot
- Ice Beam
This is my hazards remover. Ive used him on another team and he works very well in my opinion and he is my favorite remover to be honest. Defog to remove hazards, Grass knot for bulky waters and the like, Scald for Stab, and Ice beam to round out coverage.
Noivern @ Life Orb
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 Atk
Hasty Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Roost
- Hurricane
- U-turn
Out of all the Pokemon on this team, This guy has surprised me the most. Whenever it looks like im losing, this guy comes in and LITERALLY turns the tide in my favor, LO to boost the power of his attacks, and Infiltrator to stop stalls. Draco as Primary Stab and attack. Roost to heal off Damage, and U-Turn to get out and gain more momentum. Honestly, I could have stuck anything in the third slot, and it really wouldnt have made a difference.
THREAT'S:
As of right now, the only threats I really see to this team, are Stab Priority moves. Stab Shadow Sneak, literally shuts down Shedinja, and Stab Aqua jets would hurt Blaziken Big time. There really isnt anything else, threat wise that I can see.
And there's my team. I realize its likely not all that good, but I kinda didnt plan on this being an Uber team....it kinda just happened. Any kind of input is greatly appreciated!
