Summer X_X.
Anyway, another team from me. I really like this team, as it allows me to use a highly threatening sweeper: Substitute Petaya Empoleon. Oh and I'm being lazy and don't feel like making my hugeass threat list again 9.9 Let's get started:
Team building/Overview:
So yea, as the second paragraph of this RMT says, this team is based around Substitute Petaya Empoleon. There are two types of teams: teams that can check Empoleon and teams that are REALLY weak to it. Since many good players have teams that are capable of the first, obviously the goal would be to have Pokemon that remove those threats. But first, Empoleon.
Obviously one of Empoleon's biggest threats is Blissey, who can wall Empoleon like nothing. Therefore, a lure would be a great choice, as offensive Pokemon like Machamp don't really take care of Blissey, only force it out. Special sweepers are needed to take care of it, namely something with Explosion. Heatran is a great choice because it traps and KOes Blissey with a combination of SR, Magma Storm, and Explosion.
Ok so since Heatran by itself wasn't the greatest when I last used it, I wanted another Pokemon that could take care of Blissey. However, I also wanted a Pokemon that either resists or is immune to Fighting- and Ground-type attacks. Subsplit Gengar is a great choice, as it can apply pressure and take down Blissey.
OH MY GAWD MY TEAM IS STALL WEAK LET'S ADD MENCE (No I just felt like adding Mence for a Water-, Ground-, Fighting-, and Fire-type resistance/immunity).
Ok let's add a revenge killer that can also check Jolteon so it won't rape my team. Flygon it is, along with resisting Rock-type moves and U-turning in and out.
Need lead to beat Machamp let's use Metagross cuz it also gets up SR and can Explode.
Ok screw Metagross let's use a different lead for lulz. WhiteQueen suggested Uxie so sure, why not.
Ok Mence is banned let's use Tyranitar cuz strong (no I'm serious that's what I did).
Yayyyyyy another team done :D
In depth look:
Uxie @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/100 Def/156 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Trick
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock
- U-turn
Overview: Oh my god this is such a good lead except some people predict it because of Matty's stupid RMT popularizing this -__-. Super bulky (not getting OHKOed unless it's a crit) and can cripple the opposing team making it fun. Also makes great death fodder.
Moveset: Trick cripples the opposing teams (I love Tricking a Scarf onto something and then Tricking that item onto something else). Thunder Wave to make Scarf useless and help with my team, Stealth Rock cuz it's rocks and U-turn if Uxie gets Taunted or if I predict a switch.
EVs: Idk WhiteQueen gave them to me. Apparently it outspeeds Aero with the Scarf while other EVs are for bulk. I'd like it if I could not get 2HKOed by Machamp's Payback 100% of the time but then I'd have to give up Speed EVs.
Playing style: Trick, Thunder Wave in case they stay in or predict, Stealth Rock, U-turn afterwards. If they Taunt me I just U-turn while they're stuck in Taunt, while it makes great death fodder, hopefully getting off a Twave before dying.
Flygon (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Earthquake
-Stone Edge ThunderPunch
- U-turn
Overview: Revenge killer and scouter. What else does Flygon do?
Moveset: Outrage and EQ for dual STABs, whileStone Edge hits fliers. ThunderPunch hits Gyarados and other fliers. U-turn to scout.
EVs: WHY IS FLYGON SO WEAK STUPID 100 BASE ATTACK. Max Speed, max Attack.
Playing style: Bring this in on a resistance or if Tricking with Uxie ends up with a Choice Scarf or if the opponent Trick also so I can get off a free U-turn.
Tyranitar (M) @Expert Belt Shuca Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Flamethrower
- Ice Beam
- Dark Pulse
- Superpower
Overview: Tyranitar is a strong mon that can KO a bunch of stuff based on both sheer power and surprise factors.
Moveset: Flamethrower hits Scizor, Forretress, Skarmory, and Breloom, while Ice Beam hits Dragons as well as Breloom. Dark Pulse for Rotom-A and STAB, while Superpower hits Blissey.
EVs: 252 SpA for max power, 252 Spe cuz I hate Breloom outspeeding me.
Playing style: Bring into resistance, predict a switchin, surprise with attack whenever.
Thinking about replacing Expert Belt with Shuca Berry to surprise Gliscor and Flygon, as Expert Belt doesn't really get that many additional KOes. Done
Would like something to replace this, something that can handle Jolteon preferably and resist Dark/Ghost.
Gengar (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Pain Split
Overview: MORE STRONG MONS. Gengar's resistances really help A LOT for this team, as it is immune to the omnipresent Ground- and Fighting-type moves.
Moveset: Stupid Philip7086's moveset that works too well which amkes it rape stuff. Substitute to block Bullet Punch and easy prediction, Shadow Ball for STAB, Focus Blast for Blissey and perfect type coverage, Pain Split for HP.
EVs: Simple 252 SpA / 252 Spe spread.
Playing style: Bring into resistance, Substitute, attack. What a great set.
Heatran (M) @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs:128 HP/168 Spd/212 SAtk 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk) Timid nature
- Magma Storm
- Hidden Power [Grass]
-Dragon Pulse Earth Power
- Explosion
Overview: More strong mons to get rid of Blissey because Blissey sucks. Also provides useful resistances. Also Phil sucks for making another good Pokemon set.
Moveset: Magma Storm for trapping and power, but the accuracy SUCKS. HP Grass for Swampert,while Dragon Pulse hits Flygon and Dragonite. Earth Power hits opposing Heatran and has 100% accuracy for when I need it. Explosion to beat Blissey and hit Vaporeon and Suicune hard.
EVs:Outdated because Salamence isn't OU anymore so I need a better spread. Simple 252/252 we all know and love for max power and Speed.
Playing style: Come in on something that can't threaten it, Magma Storm, switch out, HP Grass, or Explode dependingly.
Contemplating Passho Berry for Starmie (SUPER STRONG POKEMON)and Earth Power over Dragon Pulse because Mence no longer exists and I have Heatran problems. Done.
Empoleon (M) @ Petaya Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
IVs: 30 HP
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Agility
- Surf
- Grass Knot
Overview: MORE STRONG MONS (seriously this mon is really strong). Sweeps unprepared teams and weakened ones while also has enough bulk to be a clutch Starmie check (Agility while LO Thunderbolt doesn't KO then Grass Knot to KO).
Moveset: Substitute for blocking Scarfmons and to get down to my Petaya, Agility to be fast, Surf for STAB and Grass Knot for Bulky Waters. No Ice Beam because Heatran eats Shaymin and Celebi and Gengar eats Celebi.
EVs: 252 SpA for max power, 252 Spe for Scarftran and something else with Gyarados.
Playing style: Wait until late game or early game if I need the resistances, Substitute, attack or Agility accordingly.
I got lazy so yea ~_~.
