At first glace this team looks stupid and unoriginal. And it is. But it works. Which just goes to show how boring AG is as a tier. (Hit #6 on ladder. Got bored. Gonna try again.)
Arceus @ Life Orb
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- ExtremeSpeed
- Swords Dance
- Stone Edge
- Iron Head
This arceus is meant to deal with unaware clefable (iron head is 2HKO) without resorting to burn/crit which is lame. Also can deal with Yveltal bulky def / foul play. Stone edge 2HKO's (probably - they run angry helmet usually). This one really needs the power of a life orb.
Arceus @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- ExtremeSpeed
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Substitute
Klefki check. I lead with this if it looks like they are gonna Klefki. I then use sub, usually receive my free +2 attack, then I EQ before Klefki can do anything and have a sub for their next pokemon. In my experience it works extremely well. Can be used against other status/swagger users too. I just almost never see them. I saw a magnemite use swagger against this once. I'm not really sure why they had magnemites.
Arceus @ Spooky Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Focus Blast
- Roar
- Judgment
- Will-O-Wisp
This one deals with ditto, arceus, rayquaza, etc. the angry things I don't like. Ditto has to pick its move wisely and Arceus is much bulkier than it is with its great hp stat. Roar is really nice for phazing evasion ppl / moody ones that get lucky. It also packs a punch so it's not setup bait usually.
Arceus @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def
Adamant Nature
- ExtremeSpeed
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Claw
- Stone Edge
Pretty much all of them function to use swords dance 2-3 times, then kill things. This one has a lum berry which is useful against spore-leads that also have a ghost on the team. Yveltal/Lugia kinda scares me so I am running this 2nd stone edge. I should probably get one that outspeeds Lugia though. This one is bulky because bulk can be nice too. I'll try out Jolly / Speed for lugia I guess. Or maybe toxic. Idk. I don't like waiting though.
Arceus @ Life Orb
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def / 168 Spe
Adamant Nature
- ExtremeSpeed
- Swords Dance
- Aerial Ace
- Shadow Claw
Wow another arceus. Surprising. Sad no life hax0r. /rq
Speed EVs are just to outspeed regular rayquaza / general speediness I guess. Aerial ace is a good answer to pesky evasion users. Swords dance while they raise it. Aerial ace to kill 1 dude. Then ESPEED all them.
Rayquaza @ Life Orb
Ability: Air Lock
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- ExtremeSpeed
- Dragon Ascent
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
Tbh Idk why I use Rayquaza at all. It looks cool though. It's done damage to things before.
Please suggest any changes you think I should make. I'm considering more arceus, but like that's just my opinion.
I hope you hate this team because I think this metagame is silly and arceus is dumb. Pls rate like and substitute.
