Dangerous is an understatement....

Introduction
Hey everyone, Rezon here again for a new RMT. This is fairly similar to my other RMT but I didn't get all the rates that I needed to make my team better. This time I decided to show a team building process with how this all got started. So here we go.


Changes in Bold


In More Detail



The Lead
392.png




Infernape (Pyro) w/ Focus Sash
Nature: Naive
Ability: Blaze
Evs: 68 Atk/ 188 Spe/ 252 SpA
Moveset:
Stealth Rock
Flamethrower
Close Combat
Vacuum Wave

My monkey lead. Pretty simple concept I would say. Max Special Attack allows a huge punch with Vacuum Wave and Flamethrower. 188 Speed to go slower then the usual LeadApe thus beating it in the end (Usually). The rest just got thrown into attack to boost up Close Combat. I will always get a Stealth Rock off excluding Taunt leads like Azelf and Aerodactyl. Flamethrower is for STAB and to cover any rare Grass leads and Metagross. Close Combat is primary STAB. Vacuum Wave finishes off any faster Sashed leads such as Azelf or Aerodactyl. The rare yet still uncommon Gengar lead can cause me some trouble. I have tested out other leads before but this one beats them all. With some amazing power band speed backed behind it theres no wonder why he's so common.



Special Sweeper
65.png

Alakazam (Intelect) w/ Choice Specs
Nature: Timid
Ability: Inner Focus
Evs: 252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 6 Def
Moveset:
Psychic
Focus Blast
Shadow ball/Energy Ball
Hidden Power [Ice]/Trick

One hell of a teamate. Psychic is for STAB. A STAB base 90 power attack with base 135 Special Attack is just deadly.. Focus Blast hits those pesky Normal, Steel, Rock, and Dark types, mainly Tyranitar. Shadow Ball would be for the Ghosts while Energy Ball would be for pokemon like Vaporeon and Swampert. Hidden Power Ice would be for Dragon types and Trick would be to screw over walls such as Blissey. Not much else to say here.


The Great Wall
Dusknoir.png

Dusknoir (Reaper) w/ Leftovers
Nature: Careful
Ability: Pressure
Evs: 126 Def/ 120 SpD/ 228 HP/ 36 Atk
Moveset:
Will-O-Wisp
Thunderpunch
Shadow Sneak
Pain Split

Theres a reason he's called the "Great Wall". He can easily take hits from both sides of the spectrum. 228 HP allow optimal leftovers recovery point. 36 Attack lets me OHKO Gyarados after Stealth Rock with Thunderpunch. Will-O-Wisp stopes Salamence and other physical sweepers dead in there tracts. Shadow Sneak is for finishing off weakened pokemon. Pain Split allows for health recovery while attacking the foe at the same time.



The Ninja
212.png

Scizor (Skull) w/ Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Technician
Evs: 40 Hp/ 244 Att/ 224
Moveset:
Swords Dance
Bullet Punch
Brick Break
Roost

I prefer him over Choice Band Scizor and SD Lucario for 2 reasons. 1. He has more power and more reliablity then CB Scizor. 2. Hes more bulky then SD Lucario. The Evs allow me to attack with Life Orb 1- times and survive. Sword Dance boosts it's already high attack stat. Bullet Punch is for priority. STAB Technician Bullet Punch is powerful. Brick Break gets rid of Light Screen and Reflect for me while hitting things like Umbreon and Blissey as well. Roost is to heal back the damage from Life Orb. Not much else to say here.


The Special Sweeper
395.png

Empoleon (Hero) w/ Petaya Berry
Nature: Modest
Ability: Torrent
Evs: 12 HP/ 252 SpA/ 244 Spe
Moveset:
Agility
Surf
Grass Knot
Substitute

Thers a reason he's called "Hero". He has saved my team from 0-4 to 1-0 before. Agility is the big move here. Once I get the speed boost then the sweep is on. Surf is for STAB. Grass Knot is used to take down any other Waters who think the can wall me. I use this over Ice Beam because after the Petaya and Torrent boost Surf 2HKO's any Dragon. Substitute is amazing in conjunction with Agility. Once the speed boost is up I Substitute down until I get the Torrent and Petaya boost. Torrent + Petaya + STAB Surf = Death. That is my equation for this set. Empoleon has saved my but from many matches in the past and I'm sure will do the same in the future.

Physical Sweeper
salamence.png

Salamence (UbaDragon) w/ Yache Berry/Lum Berry
Nature: Naive
Ability: Intimidate
Evs: 252 Att/ 80 Sp.A/ 176 Spe
Moveset:
Dragon Dance
Outrage
Earthquake
Flamethrower

Yache Berry would be to weaken any Ice attacks while Lum Berry would prevent Burn. Paralysis Confusion etc... I choose both of these over Life Orb because I prefer survivability over power. Dragon Dance allows a future sweep.Earthquake hits any land Steels that think they can stop my Outrage. Flamethrower hits Forretress for an OHKO and Skarmory for a 2HKO. This thing can cause so much havoc that it's hilarious when it comes right down to it. I'm not planning on changing much.

Team Building Process
Ok, so first I wanted to have a good Special Sweeper. After testing tons of them I went with one of the most Underrated ones out there.

Ok, so I had a good Special Sweeper but I still needed a Lead. I didn't want a bulky lead I wanted more of a Suicide Lead. And since I hate using any legendary at all I went with Infernape.

Empoleon__the_Emperor_Pokemon_by_Nakugetsu.gif

Now, I wanted someone who could revenge kill and sweep. Heres where he comes in.

373_salamence_1_m.png

After that I wanted a one more physical sweeper more on the bulky side. So I chose one of the most common and dangerous ones out there.

Well, there's my team. I hope you liked it.



Thank You
 
Change Empoleon's EVs to 44HP / 252SpA / 212Spe. The extra speed won't help a majority of the time. 320HP is also a divisible by four

Dusknoir isn't a great wall and is outclassed by Rotom-h in general. With a Scarf, Timid nature, Thunderbolt / Trick / Shadow Ball / Overheat, and 252SpA / 252Spe / 4HP for EVs, it counters things like Lucario, Jirachi, Gyarados, and Scizor and makes quick work of Blissey.

Changing your Salamence to Naive 16Atk 240SpA 252Spe 'Mence will overall be more effective. With a moveset of Draco Meteor / Brick Break / Fire Blast / Roost not even Blissey can stand up to it. You could change to Outrage, but I prefer perfect coverage and not being locked in. This way you can break down most walls for Empoleon or Scizor to sweep.

I believe that you have a Heatran Problem, especially the scarfed ones.
Yeah I was going to edit my post with that but didn't get around to it. Backing up ScarfTran but replace Alakazam.
Good luck.

I think he made it pretty clear that he didn't want to change his Mence. STAB Outrage does more than non-STAB Brick Break, and besides, who brings Blissey in on DDMence? But I digress - I believe that you have a Heatran Problem, especially the scarfed ones. The standard Fire Blast/Dragon Pulse or HP Ice/Earth Power/Explosion hits everyone one of your members extremely hard (provided Heatran attacks with SE moves of course) - and unless you have out-of-this-world prediction skills, it won't be pretty for you. Now, I see two options. You can use a Heatran of your own, or you can utilize what is possibly THE best duck ever - Porygon2.

Now -

Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Naive - Flash Fire
252 Spe/252 SAtk/6 Atk (for explosion)

~Fire Blast/Flamethrower
~Earth Power
~Dragon Pulse/HP Ice
~Explosion

Pretty standard iirc. You can opt for Flamethrower over FB but I generally prefer the extra power for certain OHKO's. Earth Power is for other Heatran/Electrics, and Dragon Pulse/HP Ice cover Dragons nicely. I actually prefer Dragon Pulse because It allows you to hit Kingdra much harder and isn't as expected. Explosion for Blissey. This guy will cover other Scizors and is a far better revenge killer than Alakazam considering a CB Pursuit Scizor absolutely dominates Alakzam and Psychic doesn't have the greatest coverage. Hetran is also immune to Toxic Spikes...but yeah whatever lol.

OR

Porygon2 @ Leftovers
Bold - Trace
252 HP/216 Def/40 SAtk

~Ice Beam
~Recover
~Thunderbolt/Discharge/Charge Beam
~Thunderwave/Toxic (use Toxic if you go with Discharge)

This thing right here single-handedly counters DDMence, DDGyara, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Heatran. Now doesn't that sound nice? WIth Trace, P2 copies Intimidate and lowers Gyara/Mence back to nuetral attack. You can choose to blast them with the awesome BoltBeam combo or take a more defensive route and paralyze them (or an incoming switch). With Trace, P2 copies Flash FIre, Volt Absorb, and Water Absorb, leaving opponents confused and sucessfully out-played.

Your choice - gl.

EDIT: Heatran or Porygon 2 should replace Dusknoir.
