TEAM SHELL-SHOCKED!
The objective of this team was to take advantage of Shell Smash Cloyster. IT has been doing really well but it could get a lot better. Hopefully this team will grow to a great team! I think it has potential but I need your guys’ help!
Cloyster (F) @ White Herb
Cloyster (F) @ White Herb
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 20 HP / 236 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Shell Blade
- Shell Smash
*Maniacal Laugh* Boy is this thing fun… This thing can rip entire teams to shreds! Icicle Spear and Shell Blade are powerful stabs with Shell Blade taking out Rock types and Steels and Icicle Spear Ripping everything else apart. Rock Blast is there for having fun with other Pokemon which happen to resist both Icicle Spear and Dive, but that slot is really up for grabs….
Blaziken (M) @ Flight Gem
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Acrobatics
- Flare Blitz
- Hi Jump Kick
- Substitute
This thing provides perfect coverage along with the beast known as Cloyster. Substitute is great in this moveset, as it allows you to scout for super effective moves and in a Blaziken’s moveset, allows a free Speed Boost. Acrobatics is a great coverage move with 110 Base Power with Flight Gem, or after Flight Gem has been used. Flare Blitz and Hi Jump Kick are there for pummeling Grass types and Rock/Steel types respectively.
Jolteon (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Signal Beam
- Hidden Power [Water]
Oh, how I love this thing so. This Pokemon is an amazing candidate for a revenge killer as nothing resists all four of her moves. Bar scarfed things, this wonderful Eeveelution is outsped by none other than Ninjask, who won’t hurt a bit, and Excadrill when in a sandstorm. Jolteon also takes advantage of his ability Volt Absorb, giving me an easy switch in to an electric attack.

[CENTER][CENTER]Forretress (M) @ Shed Shell[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]Trait: Sturdy[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]EVs: 84 Atk / 172 Def / 252 SDef[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Earthquake[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Stealth Rock[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Spikes[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Rapid Spin[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]Forretress is, and will always be, the best hazard set-up Pokémon ever. Not even Skarmory can do what Forretress can, and that’s why I chose him in this slot. There is not too much to say here, as the main purpose of this thing is quite obvious. I picked EQ over Explosion, as I wanted to survive as long as possible so I can spin away any hazards that pop up on my side.[/CENTER]

[CENTER][CENTER]Suicune @ Leftovers[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]Trait: Pressure[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Rest[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Surf[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Sleep Talk[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Calm Mind[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]Just because this set is a standard Crocune, doesn’t mean that it is any less deadly. This Pocket Monster takes out Blazikens and other fire types out with ease, and it also has no trouble KO’ing anything on a Sandstorm team. This thing gets easily walled by Blissey though and is generally the weakest member of the team.[/CENTER]

[CENTER][CENTER]Gallade (F) @ Psychic Gem[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]Trait: Steadfast[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Drain Punch[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Night Slash[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Ice Punch[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]- Psycho Cut
[/CENTER]
[/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER]Despite being banished into BL by the UU wizards, Gallade has not seen much time on OU teams lately. It might be because of Reuniclus prevailing in most EVERY game, or maybe it’s just lost its luster. Either way, I want to bring Gallade back into competitive battling and this is how to do it. Drain Punch and Psycho Cut are powerful STAB attacks, while Ice Punch takes out all Dragons and threatening Flying types. Night Slash fills a moveslot just for covering Psychics that cause Gallade much trouble.[/CENTER]
