Here I go... This is my first RMT and i believe a really solid team. It's spike stacking offense with strong mons to rip apart and clean up teams. Please try it out and rate any flaws you see, any improvements are welcome :]
Omastar @ Focus Sash
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
I started the team looking for a lead who could set up both stealth rock and spikes. I was between omastar or crustle and chose omastar due to his better lead matchup agaisnt common leads. Stealth rocks and spikes are mandatory while scald and ice beam are for offensive presence. Focus sash is the item to possibly survive a attack and either retaliate with a attack or set up more hazards.
Feraligatr @ Lum Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Aqua Jet
- Return
- Swords Dance
My main sweeper of the team SD Feraligatr. Amazing power after set up and relative ease to find opportunities to set up a SD with its good bulk and rip teams apart. Swords dance is for obvious set up while waterfall is their for a reliable STAB move, aqua jet for priority to hit faster frail or weakened members of opposing team and return for best coverage with decent power. Lum berry is the item of choice for even more opportunities for set up.
Mesprit @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Psyshock
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Healing Wish
Next pokemon i choose was mesprit for its good power and coverage which makes it hard to switch into. Psyshock is for STAB and hitting specially defensive mons on the physical side. Energy ball is for coverage and catching certain mons by surprise. Hidden power fire is for hitting steel types which resist the other moves on this set and healing wish is for utility and healing a weakend or statused member of the team. Mesprit can remove checks or counter for feraligatr such as vileplume, seismitoad, ferroseed and others.
Slurpuff @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 44 HP / 92 Def / 252 SpA / 120 Spe
Modest Nature
- Calm Mind
- Dazzling Gleam
- Surf
- Psychic
Slurpuff is here because its a amazing sweeper in case feraligatr isn't able to sweep or the opposing team is extremely weak to slurpuff coverage moves. Calm mind is there to set up on the special side, dazzling gleam is the strongest realiable STAB move, surf is to hit fire and steel types that resist fairy whilepsychic is there to round out the coverage and hit poison types. Ev's are to max out attacking power and after the unburden boost to outspeed the entire relevant NU tier with a few ev's for a bit of bulk on the physical side. Sitrus berry is to activate the unburden boost and with slurpuff's bulk after a calm mind it is almost always going to survive the hit and utilize the berry.
Spiritomb @ Black Glasses
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit
- Will-O-Wisp
- Shadow Sneak
Spiritomb is the team's spin blocker and psychic/ghost check. Black glasses is to boost it's dark move STAB's. Max Attack and Hp are for most power and bulk. Will-o-wisp is to stop physical mons that want to muscle through spiritomb, pursuit in combination with sucker punch can create 50/50 scenarios where the opposing mon is force to attack or switch out. Shadow sneak is a STAB priority for when predicting a attack isn't neccesary.
Dragalge @ Black Sludge
Ability: Poison Point
EVs: 252 HP / 192 Def / 32 SpA / 32 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Scald
- Sludge Wave
- Dragon Tail
- Thunderbolt
Dragalge was the teams glue pokemon and is there to act as a pivot which provides some bulk and many resistances for the team. Scald is to fetch for burns, sludge wave is there as a reliable STAB move, dragon tail is to shuffle a team around and possibly erase stat boost attained by opposing mons and thunderbolt is for coverage to possibly catch the occasional mantine for good damage. Black sludge is for some recovery and Ev's to balance out both defenses.
This is the team. Hope it brings some good results to anyone who try it out :] Looking foward to the rates.
