Not really much to say at this point. I'm going to be as terse as possible here, I've already done the whole over the top self-gratifying RMT thing before and it's not really necessary.

​

​

Natu @ Eviolite
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 196 HP / 76 Def / 200 Spe
Timid Nature
- Toxic
- Hidden Power Flying
- FeatherDance
- Roost

Counters entry hazard and defensive teams. The only really troublesome Pokemon to switch into is Dwebble, who people normally lead with anyways, and Natu wins any other 1v1 matchup against it. Hidden Power Flying gives better solo coverage than Psychic, so that's why I run it. I've considered running Psychic over Toxic to hit Pokemon like Chinchou, but I like Toxic more.

Mienfoo @ Eviolite
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 76 Atk / 196 Def / 236 Spe
Impish Nature
- Fake Out
- Hi Jump Kick
- U-turn
- Stone Edge

Counters Scraggy usually. Impish is to tank Hi Jump Kicks as well as I can. The lack of Attack hasn't been an issue at all. Stone Edge is for Larvesta, you're welcome.

Lileep @ Eviolite
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 228 HP / 108 SpA / 140 SpD / 12 Spe
Calm Nature
- Energy Ball
- AncientPower
- Toxic
- Recover

Counters Water-types. Hidden Power Fire is useless when I have Natu who destroys every Steel-type bar Pawniard, and AncientPower deters Larvesta and stuff. Toxic because it's me.

Bronzor @ Eviolite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 220 HP / 4 Atk / 148 Def / 4 SpA / 68 SpD / 16 Spe
Relaxed Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Psychic
- Toxic
Counters Drilbur. I could run Toxic over Hidden Power Ice, but the 4% more that Hidden Power does compared to Psychic is the difference between a 3HKO and a 4HKO so... EDIT: Begrudgingly added Toxic because it's more important to hit Clamperl I guess....

Larvesta @ Eviolite
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 236 HP / 156 Def / 116 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Morning Sun
- Flare Blitz
- Will-O-Wisp
- U-turn

Counters Mienfoo usually, except a lot of them run Stone Edge now so I have to be smarter. Toxic could be used over Will-O-Wisp to hit Water-types that switch in, but I normally just spam U-turn. 15 Speed is to outspeed pre-boost Clamperl, also outspeeds most other Larvesta I think.

---

Tirtouga @ Eviolite
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 244 HP / 52 Atk / 12 Def / 12 SpA / 156 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Scald
- Stone Edge
- Aqua Jet
- Protect

Secondary everything-check. Priority is nice because my team is slow as balls, especially since it hits Drilbur super effective. Scald is to screw over Fighting-types that switch in, as well as Chinchou I suppose. Protect it there solely because Tirtouga has nothing better to do and it's nice to Protect while Mienfoo uses Hi Jump Kick. Also stalls Burn/Toxic damage.

Beautiful team EM!

I have nothing to say except...the brevity is a bit much. A strongly played Shell Smash Clamperl and traper are very tough for you to handle as well - although with a little prediction I'm sure you find your way out of bad situations.

To reiterate - cool team em.

 

[Drifloon]

Great team you got here.

I have a few things I would test if I were you, however. First of all, U-Turn is a good move to have on Natu, it naturally causes a lot of switches, and works well with Mienfoo. As above said, this team is a bit weak to Shell Smash Clamperl. To fix this, I would run knock off on Mienfoo, over Fake Out or Stone Edge. This allows Lileep to tank Clamperl's moves easier, albeit sacrificing Mienfoo.

Awesome team you got here, gl!

 

[comatthew6]

better than my team; that's for sure. Emma this is why you're #1 and the rest of us aren't. You're a little weak to Clamperl I think since it can set up like really easily on Bronzor then dent your whole team especially if sand isn't up (I'm not sure if it gets an OHKO Ice beam on Lileep though...).

Great team once again!

 

[iss]

em <3

This is probably one of the best teams I've played. Natu fucks me over every time (really needs to be used more lol). You're a little bit Stone Edge Mienfoo weak, I guess, but you've got your own Mienfoo to help out (also Stone Edge doesn't even OHKO Natu). Also if they weaken Tirtouga you're Hypnosis Gastly weak if Gastly lands that Hypnosis on Bronzor (then again Hypnosis Gastly beats everything -.-). Not much to say, this team really is solid.

 

[D4RR3N]

Sup EM, this is probably one of the best ladder teams in the current metagame. The only problem i can see if Shell Smash Clamperl, but I don't wanna suggest anything to destroy your core, so I guess you can still play around it. But yeah, great job as always!

 

[Elevator Music]

Added Toxic over HP Ice on Bronzor solely for Clamperl, I'll probably end up losing to some Drilbur bs at some point because of it but 'whatever' :S

Em was a very nice kiddo,
Battling made me throw a fit though,
He does rule the nest,
And I'd say he's the best,
But everyone else would say "ditto!"
