Hey Smogonites, it's time to RATE! THIS! TEAM!

noob3

This is my anti-standard standard team. I currently run it on Smogon's ShoddyBattle server with great success. Please rate it, thanks alot!

THE LEAD
Jirachi @ Choice Band
Jolly
80 HP/252 ATK/176 SPE
Zen Headbutt
Fire Punch
Ice Punch
U-Turn

The anti-lead himself. No one knows what Jirachi is doing when they see him at the beginning of a match, alot of the times they will use Taunt. Big mistake. This guy has got the goods to 2HKO many of the more popular leads. I'm using Fire Punch over Thunder Punch to take care of Bronzong. U-Turn to take care of those pesky Azelf leads. Expect the unexpected!

THE MUSCLE
Gyarados "Magikarp" @ Life Orb
Adamant
74 HP/252 Atk/184 SPE
Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Ice Fang
Stone Edge

This guy is Jirachi's body guard and my physical sweeper. It can come in on alot of things my other guys are weak to, like EQ, fire and water attacks. There's just something about safely switching my CB Jirachi into a pokemon that's even MORE powerful. Makes me feel all giddy inside! ;D

MEDIC!
Vaporeon "Eevee" @ Leftovers
Bold
188 HP/252 Def/68 SPA
Wish
Surf
Ice Beam
HP: Electric

Okay, my Jirachi was once your standard support Jirachi. When I decided to beef him up a notch and have him lead, I lost a valuable part of my team: Wish support. This guy is just that, and a bag of chips. Besides being a great switch in to quite a few pokes, this water dog can dish out the SE pain left & right.

THE DEMO-LAVA GOLEM THING
Heatran @ Choice Specs
Modest
40 HP/252 SPA/216 SPE
Fire Blast
Dragon Pulse
Earth Power
Explosion

Oh, you think you can just Flamethrower Jirachi, huh? You want to WoW my Gyarados? My Weavile? Think again. This guy is a beast, dealing over 50% to Blissey after a Flash Fire boost. If he doesn't have FF, I can always come back to lure her in and explode. This thing is such a good sweeper, I havn't taken him off the team since I had him on. Has killed many pokemon who resist Fire Blast switching in. <3

THE REVENGE SQUAD
Gengar "Ghastly" @ Choice Scarf
Timid
4 HP/252 SPA/252 SPE
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
HP: Ice
Focus Blast

Why do I have a Timid Choice Scarf Gengar? LOL! Why not? Well.. He will usually catch Deo-E with ShadowBall, not many people switch Deo-E out of Gengar. And, he catches other Gengars, Garchomps, Gyarados, Salamences, Azelf, Tyranitars, Weaviles.. Need I say more? I think not! :D

Weavile "Sneasel" @ Expert Belt
Jolly
40 HP/252 ATK/216 SPE
Ice Shard
Pursuit
Night Slash
Brick Break

The only other part of the revenge squad. While not as blazingly fast as Gengar, he gets his job done quite nicely. I'm contemplating actually replacing this, but he has downed pokemon that I would have no other way of dealing with. Truley a game saver. He usually doesn't come out until late game, after I've taken out his counters. And if you can't counter this, it's been a good game ;)

So that's my team. Yeah, I don't have any entry hazards, but I think using EH turns give your opponent the tempo advantage, and in a game like pokemon that is a no-no. So, what are you waiting for? Rate away!

Omg. That's good. I really like the Choice Band Jirachi lead. No other comment on this, other than good job.

Lol @ 'Makes me feel all giddy inside'. Anyway, very nice. You might want to consider putting Taunt over one of these moves, maybe Stone Edge. You can still take down Dragons and Fliers with Ice Fang, and you won't get Roared away by Suicunes after you've gotten up your 2 or 3 Dragon Dances.

I like the idea of a healing Vaporeon. HP Electric is very nice, hits water types hard. No other comment. Good job.

THE DEMO-LAVA GOLEM THING
Heatran @ Choice Specs
Modest
40 HP/252 SPA/216 SPE
Fire Blast
Dragon Pulse
Earth Power
Explosion

I'm sure that Flash Fire will help you. However, you now have 2 Pokemon weak to ground, which could potentially be a problem after Gyarados goes down.

THE REVENGE SQUAD
Gengar "Ghastly" @ Choice Scarf
Timid
4 HP/252 SPA/252 SPE
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
HP: Ice
Focus Blast

Why do I have a Timid Choice Scarf Gengar? LOL! Why not? Well.. He will usually catch Deo-E with ShadowBall, not many people switch Deo-E out of Gengar. And, he catches other Gengars, Garchomps, Gyarados, Salamences, Azelf, Tyranitars, Weaviles.. Need I say more? I think not! :D

Yeah, Gengar can come in handy. Although, if you're going to use a Choice Scarfing set, I would go with Modest. You get more poewr, and you can still out-speed Deoxys-E, and most other Choice Scarfers.

Weavile "Sneasel" @ Expert Belt
Jolly
40 HP/252 ATK/216 SPE
Ice Shard
Pursuit
Night Slash
Brick Break

Very nice, although I don't get the point of putting HP evs on here. I would just max out its Attack and Speed. Also, I would put Aerial Ace over Night Slash. You can hit fighting types very hard, and Pursuit can also hit things very hard with STAB.

So that's my team. Yeah, I don't have any entry hazards, but I think using EH turns give your opponent the tempo advantage, and in a game like pokemon that is a no-no. So, what are you waiting for? Rate away!

Nice team!
 
Keep Timid. It owns. And Gastly is spelled as seen in this sentence, not with an "h".

@ above poster, even if Gyara goes down, Gengar can absorb Ground attacks with levitate.
 
I won't comment on Sephiroth's typo of power under Gengar. ;) Anyway nice team all around, although you really need to get taunt on gyrados, as it will help you set up and sweep better.
 
You might wanna put Protect on Vaporeon, but its pretty much your choice, you can do without it.

Modest would give you more power. Maybe Weavile could get Focus Sash and SD over Night Slash. Yours works too but you might want Aerial Ace.

And I am Gengar, he means ghastly as in to do with ghosts. Origin of Gastly. ;)
