So this team has had somewhat mixed results. Its my first RMT on Smogon. Its also my first shot at a full on offensive team. Usually I have balanced teams, but I decided to try something new.
At a glance:
Aerodactyl (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
- Stone Edge
Aerodactyl's just your basic suicide lead. Taunts slower leads sets ups Stealth Rocks, and then hits stuff. Obviously Stealth Rocks will help a lot getting the opponent's Pokemon just into the KOing range for the rest of my sweepers. Thats really the only reason he's here. He's a lot faster than Azelf, Fidgit, and Infernape, so he always gets his Rocks down, and the opponent does not.
Salamence (F) @ Yache Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Outrage
YacheMence is the new Garchomp. An absolute monster in the middle game. If he gets a Dragon Dance in then you're probably gonna lose one or two mons. Cleans up nicely against more defensively based team, after all my other mons have taken a good chunk out of the opponent.
Stratagem @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Paleo Wave
- Substitute
- Energy Ball
This Pokemon is probably the mon I'm the most iffy on. I like his set, since it gets to set up on bulkier mons, but I feel that it lacks coverage. I think Flamethrower>Substitute or Calm Mind would be good. Either way, he's an excelent revenge killer. He can take advantage of opponent's Sanstorm as well, and tear appart the team with Energy Ball. He takes out Skymin, Syclant, Zapdos, Swampert, Gyarados, Salamence, but I still think that Heatran, Bronzong, and other bulky steels wall it far too easily.
Heatran (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power[Ice]
- Fire Blast
- Explosion
Scarftran. Not much more to be said, but I do think that his role overlaps with Stratagem and Zapdos's roles, but he is a good Bulky Steel and takes care of Salamence, when he starts to Outrage, and beats Syclant, Skymin, and Scizor when the other checks I have die.
Zapdos @ Choice Specs
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 52 HP/252 Spd/204 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Heat Wave
- Air Cutter
This is a novelty that works extremely well. Its natural bulk lets it switch in on a lot, and rip them to shreds. Air Cutter it basically only for Revenankh, but it takes out Heracross and other Fighters too. The rest of the attacks are pretty standard Zapdos attacks.
Syclant (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Compoundeyes
EVs: 88 Atk/252 Spd/168 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Bug Buzz
- Blizzard
- Earth Power
- Superpower/Brick Break
Syclant is a just a generic sweeper. Tears through teams with no set up. I love the amazing coverage that he gets. Luckily, Aerodactyl can usually manage to keep Stealth rocks out or play, for this guy to get in unscathed. Theres not too much else to say. I'm not exactly sure about the EV spread, so that might need editing.
(Brick Break will be put in for Super Power when those edits come in)
I hope I did that right. Thanks for looking at this. *Waits for someone to tell me this team is crap* :x
