Literally the worst top 25 team you can ever find. Don't use this team; by making this rmt, i lose the surprise factor, which is the only reason the team succeeded.
I only use pokemon from the first two generations cause those are the only games i actually played. Nope, ive never played ruby or sapphire. Oh and the team had to have Blastoise and Nidoking cause those were my favorites.
Purple and Green are sick colors so like an idiot, I restricted myself even more by only using those color mons.
To be even more ridiculous, I only wanted to use one of each item.
Proof of Peak:
So there you have it, a horrible team with outrageous restrictions that made it into the top 25.
Cetus (Blastoise) @ Blastoisinite
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 192 HP / 252 SpA / 64 Spe
Modest Nature
- Rapid spin
- Water Pulse
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
Named after the Great Sea Monster. This is a standard Mega Blastoise set. Max Special Attack EV's to be able to do as much damage as possible. 64 Speed EV's to be able to outpace every single non offensive Heatran used. The rest is put into bulk for general tankishness.
I chose Water Pulse cause of the strength it has over scald and the fact that it 2hkos +0 Sdef Mega Sableye if he opts to burn me. If he opts to CM, then the confusion game begins, where hes forced to start recovering and cannot burn me. Dark pulse kills Lati@s and Starmie, who will try to defog your hazards, as well as Gengar who will try to block your Rapid Spin. Ice beam is there for Landorus and Garchomp who always seem to compete with blastoise over the entry hazards.
Andromeda (Celebi) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs 224 HP / 156 Def / 84 SpD / 16 Spe
Bold Nature
- Giga Drain
- Thunder wave
- Recover
- Baton Pass
Named after the Ethiopian princess. This a standard defensive set that is used to come into both Keldeo's water attacks and Azumaril's water attacks.
Giga Drain is the primary damaging attack. It is a great STAB attack and helps with longetivity. Thunder wave cripples unprepared teams. A common switch in is Tornadus Therian. If it gets paralyzed, it is rendered virtually useless. Moreover it has great synergy with Nidoking and Blastoise as they are not the fastest pokemon (Also para flinch hax with Blastoise's Dark Pulse are hilarious). Baton Pass is for momentum and is the first part of my volt turn core.
Orion (Tyranitar) (M) @ Chople Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 248 HP / 68 Atk / 136 Def / 56 SpD
Brave Nature
- Pursuit
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
- Fire Blast
Named after the Great Hunter Orion, cause he hunts down everything with his chople berry. Pursuit is the main attack used to trap lati@s, gengar, alakazam, hoopa, charizard y, raikou, manectric, you name it. Stone edge is the main stab attack and deals heavy damage on Talonflame, who gets set up on. Its also the only out to Volcarona. It also koes charizard x and dragonite after they used the switch in turn to dd up. Fire blast catches ferro thorn and scizor by surpise. More so ferrothorn, cause scizor usually just goes for the kill, but hey if they try to set up its a done deal.
Evs in attack are the so that puruit deals 75% on gengar (for the sub sets). Its risky i know but if gengar uses 2 focus blasts, there is a 49% chance both will hit. This is what we are banking on when switching tyranitar into a subed gengar. Defense is to survive eq from charizard and dragonite after one dd. and the rest is in SDef.
Scorpius (Scizor) (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Technician
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Impish Nature
- Roost
- Bullet Punch
- Swords Dance
- U-turn
Named after Scorpius the only constellation that sort of resembles Scizor. Look at that ugly set. Its there to tank u-turns from lando and punish him. Scarf lando's EQ never 2hko's which is cool. U turn is there for momentum and makes scizor the second part of the volt turn core. Roost, Bullet punch and SD are there to make him some kind of win condition. Don't look at it for too long, its so ugly.
Cepheus (Nidoking) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 40 SpA / 216 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Poison Jab
- Ice Beam
- Fire Blast
- Superpower
The wallbreaking nidoking name appropriately after the king of Ethiopia, Cepheus. I run a mixed set with very little SpA investment. The reason for this is that most walls weak to fire and ice moves are usually devastated by them so any more SpA is overkill. For example, Garchomp, Ferrothorn, Landorus-T, Skarmory (after sturdy) Scizor and Gliscor are all outpaced and OHKOed by either Ice Beam or Fire Blast. That right there is the bulk majority of the walls in OU. The only walls I wish were OHKOed are Zapdos and Amoonguss. Both of those are countered by others on the team. The rest is put into Attack and Speed. Poison Jab OHKO's fairy types such as Clefable, Sylveon, and Togekiss. As well as dealing critical damage to anything that doesnt resist it. Superpower over EQ was so that I could 2HKO Chansey while still killing TTar and dealing critical damage to Heatran. The Speed ev's make nidoking just fast enough to outpace those max speed base 80 like hoopa u and dragonite.
Leo (Raikou) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Extrasensory
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Named after the great lion, Leo (even though hes more like a saber tooth tiger). This set has got to be the ugliest set on smogon. I chose this set cause of my frustration with how slow the specs set is. This is not meant to be a scarf pokemon, it is just meant to outspeed scarf lando, +1 DD Mega Gyarados, Alakazam and his mega, and Tornadus therian, thats it! Thats why he is Modest. I prefer the extra damage than for him to achieve certain speeds that I probably would not use him for.
Volt Switch is the main attack to do damage and maintain momentum and completes my volt turn core. Thunderbolt is an endgame move when Raikou needs to stay in to sweep. Extrasensory is an out to Mega Venusaur. I really wish it was Shadow ball but an out to venusaur is more important.
There you have it, the ugliest team on smogon. Enjoy and dont use it!
