For Lack of a better title....
To begin this is only my second RMT and my second trick room team, so there is room for improvements. In my last RMT i think the lack of response was down to me over praising everything and saying how well the team had done and how high Id ranked so on and so forth.....
Well this team contrasts starkly; it has taken the liberty to horribly soil my OU ranking almost beyond redemption.
(NOTE after about an hour of playing i have got it back up to over 1000, but now I’m sick of OU, figures. T_T)
(NOTE all pokes have zero speed iv’s and smeargle has 0/31/0/0/0/0, so he is guaranteed to go down to his sash.

This team came around when i was bored and I wanted to make new teams. I went to think of some original suicide trick roomers and some sweepers. I had started with kecleon with fake out/ trick room/ last resort. But that was walled too easily and his sash was ruined and SR and SS so he was “Use it and lose it” sorta poke. This is just as suicidal, it just takes a bigger chunk of their team down with it. This set is what I’ve come up with but It’s far from perfect, it uses have the trick room and doesn’t really come to fruition often because of all the priority running around.

This is wall Numero uno (is that right? I don’t do Spanish...) another flaw with this team is that i didn’t put hard work into finding a perfect synergetic core like i normally do. Finding 2 walls with good synergy and having useful resistances was much too hard, This team also lacks entry hazards which means it will get wrecked by dragonite and volcorona, Hard hitting special fire types are a problem in general, (volcorona, heatran I’m looking at you :S ) I tried to get coverage in bolt beaming which is fine and dandy but pokes with weaknesses to each are heavily looked down upon in our current metagame and lacking the STAB hurts sometimes.

This is the most generic but often where i go when seeking consistency during matches. Standard set nothing really amazing. He is my only special trick room sweeper, i wanted bulk in my sweeper but there all life orbs’s which is rather contradictory..... I’m sure this small comment section will be outweighed by my other massive ones......

Another addition to the roster in the beast that is conkeldurr, I think it was Brizznetz that suggested it and then Stunt that provided the spread, thanks to both of you. Im not really getting the originality that i first sought, but that team is improving so i guess thats all that matters in the long run. Im going to make a RU version of the team since that is my favourite tier, but i doubt ill post a RMT because from what i understand Lower tier RMT's aren't nearly as popular. But hopefully i use the experience i got from this team and will get it right first time. Oh and before people spam "Burns dont cut you attack when you have guts!!!!" I know that, but Over 3 turns toxic does less damage and most of the time i use him for a sorta "wham bam thank you Mam" priority thing.

This is the set I’m most proud of, completely custom and I’ve never seen it before. Sadly it doesn’t stand up to all said hype. The logic was; hammer arm for things like ferrothorn and such that’d out speed me in trick room and to power up gyro ball, Ice punch for gliscor and other bulky dragons, and Earthquake for heatran yet sadly that is my best option for bulky waters, which usually is what ends up walling this set. The biggest problem is gyro balls inconsistency, and killing myself with life orb, people switching around to resist my hits, stall out my trick then kill me. When using types like steel and ground, they could have 2-3 pokes to resist those types, and more often than not i don’t have a move to hit the poke that resists the first move. The reason i don’t just put on meteor mash is because i feel if i do it will make the set redundant. That is the point of the set and without that I am sure there would be better things to use. Regardless of what I just said ill probably just use whatever you guys suggest.

I have not been on PO in the last 3 days so this isnt permanent, But it is definetly better than what i had before, I just did this for any new people rating this just for some opinions on this new wall combo, I changed to special defensive P2 and put in slowbro. He takes fighting moves that P2 cant, helps ground weakness, but i will take more action againsst that later since i am OCD about synergy (tho this team doesnt display) I dont give a fuck if no one uses offensive grass types if i have a x2 grass weakness some poke is gonna get the boot. I do plan on implementing the other suggestions respective to post #9 (My post if you hadn't figured that out), i just will wait until i play tested them myself until i update the RMT. Thanks to Stunt for suggesting this :D
Now, the main reason i turned this to a RMT as opposed to scrapping it is....... (*suspense builds*)........ because i thought it would be very enjoyable to rate, (that was the epitome of anti climax...) This team is far from perfect (as of now anyway *wink wink*) , So i want to see you go wild with some original suicide trick roomers, some trick room sweepers, and in general just help the team. I will be making several versions of the team to accommodate your guy’s opinions, They wont be posted in seperate RMT's, ill just update the RMT ot the team that is having the most success. So, instead of glancing over the sets, telling me to just use the more generic equivalent and post the exact same thing as everyone else has, I want you get your creativity pants on, Mine are black, lacy and see through.... (Feel free to jerk off to that thought) And then after the RMT is washed away on the shore of discarded RMT land (????) I will bump it and add on the new and improved team. :D
***Improvements to be made***
• Better wall synergy
• More consistent sweepers
• Adding entry hazards, mainly just stealth rock somewhere along the line
• More effective sweeper with more survivability.
• Some nicknames to boot, one way to tell if my teams are slapped together are a lack of nicknames; i take a lot of pride in my nicknames. They are often obscure references that only one in 10 opponents will get but they’ll feel really awesome when they do.
( NOTE What another note? You can’t be serious? Oh but i am, subconscious that feels the needs to question me... It is no secret but if you play on PO and you want to pump out RMT’s likes it’s no one’s business, you can copy the “export” thing then add comments after.)
