~_~ team bad mood

[gorm]

metagame seems kidna directed towards offensive and "get stealth rock down and sweep". im not sure if this is following that with stuff like luke and gengar or countering that with stuff like pert and vappy but either way it works pretty well and id like some help ;D

also using pokemon card art since its often kinda cool and it's refresing to see new art. its not exactly Tangerine's RMT but i hope it's a little more fun than usual visually ;D

Zapdos @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pressure

Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Thunderbolt
- Drill Peck
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- U-turn

great lead, much love to jrrrrrrr. timid for modest scarf gengar/adamant scarf chomp/slow deo-S and and because zapdos has pretty good satk, and produces an explosion of speed, as pictured ;D

Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Explosion
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Hypnosis

beast. ive been wanting to try out hypnosis LO gengar for a while. sleeping your counters (pretty much blissey and spiritomb? maybe?) and then sweeping rules, and is certainly a mischievous way of going about things, note the look on my gengar's face

Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 240 HP/212 Def/56 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
Attack IV of 10

beats chomp/gliscor and most waters. lays sr and has trouble not kicking ass.

for some reason, with the gyara comeback i love this pokemon so much. helps vs raindance teams too. Vaporeon almost always shines defensively, as im sure this shot demonstrates x)

Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

yes please. extremely potent sweeper. likes it when blisseys stay in on gengar after the sleep and sds up. send in gengar only to only to eat a +2 stab priority move. considering stone edge over crunch but celebi...

awesome, but the team isnt base around it or anything. when it works it works. Sometimes i wanna invest more def though. the pert in the image is clearly cursing underwater so that he young mudkips and aloof marshtomps cannot hear it.

to be honest vappy has been the star of the team very often. hoping for maybe suggestions over heatran and possibly zapdos since even with wish no spinner sucks for a no roost/rest zapdos.

edits:

added drill peck>toxic on zapdosm changed EVs
made luke jolly to pretty much revenge kill other lukes

goddam did someone seriously 5 star this... was it junior own up man stop doing that xD;;; people are gonna expect more than what i can give!!

 

[Brawley]

To be honest, it looked like you just slapped 6 pokemon together. :/, I see really no core, and it doesnt really push for a Lucario sweep. I would recommend a gyarados over zapdos as it just laughs at gliscor and sets up on it, so Lucario can have some more breathing room, also I would just use double priorty on lucario as you already have gengar and heatran for celebi, lastly a recommend a better chomp counter than swampert, maybe a cm slowbro, or you could change swamperts set.

Anyways hoped this help.

Also it was me.

yeah????

I suppose that can work, but it doesnt ko gliscor iirc, and they can switch out with little risk to themselves, and really doesnt help much towards you're overall sweep.

 

[gorm]

like i said, the sweeps happen when they happen. i havent been short on luke/pert sweeps, its not a "setup one poke team"

gonna test that celebi anyways mean brawley why would you even 5 star it if you dont like the team ffffff

ugh ill need to redo the title hopefully bk lee or taylor can help me out d-D

 

[Lee]

1 starring to counteract Brawley's madness. ^_^

Even if you go with Celebi over Heatran, Bullet Punch SDLuke destroys your whole team (Zapdos is taking 72.27% - 85.05% from ES so you're fucked if Stealth Rock is down and the rest of your team are OHKO'd fairly simply). I'd be tempted to lose Swampert for an Ice Fang Gliscor as it would also help out with your rather blatant YacheChomp and Heracross weaknesses too. You'd have to keep Heatran and make him into more of a special tank though to fill the special walling hole that Swampert would leave.

When I saw the title I was like "No fucking way!" XD

so far celebi is helping alot. sd bullet punch luke is scary but i dont like using gliscor without ts really.
pert is too gang for me to switch out sorry x-x

please change title to "~_~ team bad mood"

Done and fair enough. With Celebi over Heatran, you're rather NP/GK/Flamethrower/Psychic Azelf weak but they're quite rare so I wouldn't worry about it too much and Zapdos/Luke should be able to revenge kill anyway.

Well I don't see the need for the Zapdos lead. I used it on my old offensive team to set up TyraniBoah and Gyarados, but on this team the only Pokémon you'd bring in on the Blissey switch in is Lucario, who really should be your late game sweeper. But Zapdos is just a great lead all around, so you could keep it. With Celebi, you don't really need Toxic whatsoever for Swampert / Hippo, so just slap Drill Peck on it so you can OHKO Heracross, who otherwise can really beat up on this team.

 

[gorm]

i'll test that, thanks. itll kill nape too xD;

the more i think bout it the more id be willing to get rid of zapdos, its really just insurance which i like having (il usually have a scarf heatran / garchomp on my team for tight spots). anyone got replacement suggestions? maybe a fast stealth rocker so i could throw leech seed on celebi (which i really miss since i save celebi for lategame alot)

 

[Yagami Light]

Eh Gorm, you seem to have a great team, but you kinda need an extra pokemon to help you with assorted crap.

I'd recommend fusing Celebi/Swampert into Torterra, you can handle the Ice Weakness. This'll free up a slot to put something else you want in.

 

[gorm]

torterra sounded like a good idea but the only thing id wanna throw in there is like weezing or gliscor to beat fighters, but without pert i lose a super reliable heatran switch in, as well as losing celebi which means random bulky waters will give me trouble.\

id much rather replace zapdos with something like taunt sr gliscor and throw leech seed on celebi.

 

[gorm]

last bump, this team is doing decent, i almost wanna throw twave somewhere on celebi since heatran is annoying sometimes

 

[Kaixer]

Nice team. Everything looks good. But you should try out a NP Togekiss instead of the Zapdos. It could help and can kill alot of stuff. Also, is the Stealth Rock okay for your Celebi?
