Who loves chemistry?

Here's my periodic table-themed team, I've been using it on Shoddy under the alias pkmn_breeder for a while, and I'd appreciate any comments / critiques.

Drifblim@ Focus Sash ** Helium
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
IVs: 2 / 31 / 2 / 30 / 2 / 30
- Destiny Bond
- Hypnosis
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Shadow Ball

If I'm lucky, this poke Survives a hit from a pokemon like Weavile, and activates Focus Sash and Unburden, while putting it to sleep. Destiny Bonds the next pokemon, and bam! there goes 1/3 of my opponent's team.

Miltank @ Leftovers ** Calcium
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 HP / 224 Def / 32 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Body Slam
- Earthquake
- Heal Bell
- Milk Drink

Physical sponge, and cleric. Fairly self-explanatory, this gal's pretty cool.

Togekiss@ Choice Scarf ** Oxygen
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Aura Sphere
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Flinch hax 2.0. Outspeeds so many things that expect it to be slow, and with a 60% chance of flinch, sometimes the opponent doesn't even get the chance to attack.

Scizor @ Leftovers ** Iron
Ability: Technician
EVs: 232 HP / 252 Atk / 24 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Quick Attack
- Swords Dance
- X-Scissor
- Brick Break

Very sturdy, and after a SD or two, does a lot of damage w/ Quick Attack. Decided to go with Leftovers over Life Orb for extra stability.

Gallade @ Leftovers ** Gallium
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 236 HP / 54 Def / 4 Spd / 216 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Night Slash
- Hypnosis (replace with Shadow Sneak?)

Bulk Up Gallade is very underrated. Boosts its attack and defense with BU, and is surprisingly stable when everyone expects an all-out attacker. Need help with EV's for this poke.

Regirock @ Leftovers ** Magnesium
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rock Polish
- Counter
- Explosion
- Stone Edge

This set is really cool. Come in on a choice itemmed hit it resists, and Rock Polishes. Then Counters the physical attack, before Exploding on the next poke.

Some issues I have with the team:
- No dedicated special wall.
- Needs a status absorber.

Thanks in advance.
 
gengar pulls of that drifblim set. Much better.

It uses

Gengar@focus sash
{hasty}
evs: max speed and special attack
-hypnosis
-destiny bond
-counter
-shadow ball

hypnosis the first guy, then shadow ball or counter something. then explode. taking out 2-3 pokemon.

This set really needs some revision.

First off, drain punch? The "healing" that it provides is non-existant. Also, this gallade is supposed to hang around for a while, like other bulky sweepers. Pick psycho cut / brick break for STAB.

Although night slash and hypnosis is viable, I like leaf blade / thunderwave. It gets good paralysis support and leaf blade hits ground types which tend to be immune to twave.

Try;

-Bulk Up
-Thunder Wave
-Leaf Blade
-Night Slash/Ice Punch/Brick Break/X-Scissor

Last slot is personal preference.

Good Luck.
 
Gallade needs STAB, and depriving it of such isn't good. I'd use Bulk Up//Brick Break//Psycho Cut//Shadow Sneak, but Hypnosis is still fine on there (as is Thunder Wave).

Psycho cut is redundant, and gallade has sooo many options. Brick break is a must, but psycho cut isn't.
 
drain punch is great, imo. Hitting shit like bronzong or hippo and recovering all the health they have attempted to EQ away is nice.

Drain punch will do the equivalent of absolute shit on to hippo and zong.

If you want to heal, wish is just an event move away.
 
U have Hypnosis on Driftblim, why have it on Gallade?

BU/Shadow Sneak/Bbrick/W-o-w

W-o-w is very helpful, and it helps it last longer.

Bulk up Gallade or GAYLADE may not neccesarily OHKO but it can still sweep. Your set does need some revision though. Try this:

EVs:230 Hp/100 Atk/120 De/60 Spd
~Drain Punch
~Psycho Cut
~Bulk Up
~Night Slash/T-Wave
This is an awesome set that I use too. Test it,, and you'll see

you bulk up while they EQ and then drain punch them while they cry and you get hp back and have about +2 - 3 in atack and defense.

Yeah, that set is good. NO FUCKING DRAIN PUNCH. A type that is as good as fighting shouldn't have 8 pp and only 90 bp.

Stop arguing it.
 
8 pp ?!?

garbage.

throw it out.



give the sucker brick break, or close combat and a CB

no thanks.

Well, BB or Close Combat IF you ABSOLUTELY Insist, but that kills the whole point of Gay-lade. If you use CC, you just lose the DEF boost you just got. If you're going to use CC, might as well use a swords dance set

Pshaw, brick break is only notable fighting move on bulkup gallade.

I've been testing the fuck out of gallade. Trust me.
