Over View

now onto the team, its centered around Skymin.​

Aerodactyl (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/6Def
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Aqua Tail
- Rock Slide
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock

You should know what this does tbh. Sets up Stealth Rock, Taunts other leads to prevent set up etc. Aqua Tail for the sake of it cos its cool =p and has good coverage along with Rock. Rock Slide for the flinch rate.

Stealth Rock, along with Skymins sub seeding should annoy the hell out of stuff.

Rotom-w @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Discharge
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Shadow Ball

I have a Washing Machine fetish ok lol ?. Counters Gyarados, metagross, Zapdos, lucario and so much more, you name it this does it lol. Discharge is great for parahaxing stuff and status absorbing is yay.


---

Shaymin-s @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP/252 Spd/6 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Substitute
- Seed Flare
- Leech Seed / Earth Power

This is so ridiculously broken its unreal. Anyway, while it isnt banned im going to abuse it =D. Registeel, Regice, Metagross counters ? lolno=/. The amount of teams that loose to this alone is shocking. 101 HP Subs, Serene Grace Hax and Leech Seed will cause switching which is punished by Aero's SR.

---

Heatran (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Fire Blast
- Will-o-wisp / Explosion

Explosion sucks all kinds of ass on this lol. So Will-o-wisp is the next best thing, as i figured this would be a cool Outrage switch in will-o-wisp should lol at stuff, aswell as other switch ins like Bulky waters (wear them down, aka a Burned Vappy wont be walling stuff for long etc.), Gyarados and Tyranitar =3.

Also makes a nice revenge killer.

---

Lucario (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Ice Punch
- Stone Edge
- Crunch

I have no idea but it looks nice doesnt it ? =). And is a nice revenge killer. Hits pretty much all of its common switch ins HARD.

---

Gyarados (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang
- Earthquake

Late game domination at its finest. Cleans up what Skymin hasn't smash'd.

I reccomend maxing your Gyarados' speed so he can outrun all the Modest / Mild ScarfTrans running around. I also believe that he can outrun Skymin after a DD and destroy it with Ice Fang. Correct me if I'm wrong. I also suggest that you keep the DP Standard of Waterfall > Aqua Tail on him for flinching purposes.

I don't see any major problems right now. Good Job!

Ok. I shall max out speed on Gyarados since I have had times where I wished I did max out speed more then not. Also. I will try waterfall out, and see which one I want to keep. Thanks for the suggestions. I shall make the changes now. Any other suggestions, anyone?

 

[CELTiiC]

Your team seems solid, but I do have some things to suggest.

Aerodactyl looks all right

Rotom seems all right also

Your Shaymin is walled by Heatran, which will use HP Ice or Fire Blast, I'd suggest Earth Power, but it seems all right.

Scarf Will-o-Wisp Heatran seems all right, but I'd suggest re-adding Explosion and changing Nature to Naive, but I guess that could work.

Lucario seems fine

Gyarados needs more speed EVs so after a Dragon Dance it can out run threats and Shaymin S so you can take it out right away.

Other wise your team looks solid

Hinorushi: I probably will suggest Hp Ground, because I always get walled by Heatran, and its really annoying, because you are all set up to sweep, but the oh so common heatran just walls the shit out of it. What should I replace for hidden power ground?

Also. I am keeping will o wisp, because I have noticed a lot of Salamences come in on a fire blast of mine, but instead i predict since I see so many salamence switchings that I just will o wisp, and then I go and switch to gyarados, so that salamence is done. Also. I maxed out speed on gyarados that was suggested by 8 ball.

Hot pocket: I shall test out outrage, and see what works best.

Thanks everyone. Anything else?

 

[CELTiiC]

Captain Chaos, I'd just go with Earth Power, for the reason that it has more base power than Hidden Power Ground, since it can learn it. I'd suggest replacing it with Leech Seed, because if you get a Substitute up, you'll be able to at least hurt something that is faster than Skymin.

Reason: Grammar =/

Sounds good. I will put that as an option =)

skymins probably going to the uber tier, also its gonna be hard to get, you have to have gone to the event and get some item within a certain timeframe, if this is on shoddy than you dont have to worry about that, SR weak, rapid spinner maybe? it seems like blissey can beat this team, it can take a seed flare and kill with ice beam, t bolt OHKOs gyra, aero would need flinch hax, heatran is walled pretty good by it, lucario may be able to kill it but if a salamence gyrados comes out it has to switch or be killed, DDmence ( whos gonna be probably as popular as garchomp was because of outrage) runs through this after a DD, stone edge/flamethrower/outrage kill skymin, EQ kills both lucario and heatran and if he has yache berry along with intimidate surviving wont be that difficult, aero is outsped by it and killed easily, gyra is killed with stone edge and rotom is decimated by outrage, if it can prevent from being locked in outrage or get hax by not being confused its pretty much over after DD, replace rotom whos just there for support i guess for a defensive bronzong, he can do the samething with levitae, an adamant flamethrower wont do much, and gyro ball is superpowered after a DD, he can status just like rotom with hypnosis

A lot of people are saying that, it may or may not, but from my point of view, I don't think he's going to the Uber tier, as for the same reason as Salamence. Ice Shard and Stealth Rock just kill the fragile poke, as it losses all it's bulkiness for offensive stats. So, in my point of view, it's not good enough to go up to Ubers, but to others they say it's going, but we'll see soon, I may be proven wrong, I may not.

I don't understand at all why anyone would want outrage on Gyarados. Waterfall has = Base Power, factoring in STAB, and the only thing that Outrage hits SE, is obviously Dragons, who are easily taken care of by Ice Fang. If it didn't lock you in and proceed to confuse you, I suppose it would be ok, but what makes it viable with no STAB? Am I missing something?

I am just going to be using waterfall. Also. I am aware that Skymin might be a uber... but its not as of right now, so, yeah.
