Hey Guys, this is my first RMT on Smogon, so hopefully this goes well!
Anyways, this team is based around two sweepers, which are:
and...
Ok, so my main goal here is for Infernape and Lucario to set up with continue to sweep, with a little help from Stealth Rock.
Unfortunately, the problem setting up with Lucario is that it gets owned or I have to switch because of a opposing Rotom-H and my team has no way of disposing the freaking Oven.
Infernape has the same problem with Rotom-H, it's a OHKO with T-Bolt from a Scarfed Rotom. So basically, I'm having trouble soaking up whatever counter goes against both of my sweepers. Also, T-Wave is a pain, whenever I have to switch to counter whatever's countering my sweepers, they just T-wave the switch in, which totally throws everything off.
Here's the team:
Ability: Natural Cure
Item: Choice Scarf
Nature:Timid
Ev's: 100 Hp / 156 Spe / 252 SpA
Moveset:
-Trick
-Leafstorm
-Stealth Rock
-T-Wave
This lead is amazing for me. I usually trick things like Swampert, Metagross etc. Basically anything I know that will SR. Once I trick, they have to switch and I proceed to T-wave. By doing that, I crippled 2 pokemon right off the bat. Azelf leads are a pain to deal with though
Ability: Serene Grace
Item: Choice Scarf
Nature:Adamant
Ev's: 80 Hp / 252 Atk / 176 Spe
Moveset:
-Iron Head
-Fire Punch
-Ice Punch
-U-Turn
This, is my Scizor/Salamence/Latias/Ttar/Whatever check. It does it's job by switching into whatever is setting up and proceed to either flinching it to death or just punch it for super effective damage. But sadly, it crumbles against a incoming EQ from Salamence. Is there any other Choice Scarfers OU there that can do the same job as Jirachi, but with ground immunity?
Ability: Inner Focus
Item: Life Orb
Nature:Adamant
Ev's: 4 Def / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Moveset:
-Swords Dance
-Extremespeed
-Crunch
-Close Combat
Lucario, is one of my favorite sweepers. The obvious reason being because it can KO almost anything after 1 SD with Extremespeed, it's just amazing. Things like Hippowodon and Gengar ruin it's fun. Idk whether to use Crunch to hit ghosts or Stone edge to hit things like Gyarados. Any suggestions?
Ability: Blaze
Item: Life Orb
Nature:Timid
Ev's: 66 Def / 252 SpAtk / 192 Spe
Moveset:
-Nasty plot
-Vacuum Wave
-Grass Knot
-Fire Blast
Infernape is my special sweeper, and it does a good job at it. Just after 1 Nasty Plot it comes goes into OHKO range with alot of pokemon with SR damage. Unfortunately, once I set up, the opponent comes in with a counter, which gives me no choice but to just switch out and get smacked by a status move like T-Wave or Toxic. Most switches are caused by the likes of Rotoms, Vaporeons. Grass Knot does about 60 Percent to Vappys since its so light, and Rotoms, I can KO with a fireblast, but it depends on whether its scarfed or not. I don't know If I just have to deal with the switching business. If you have a remedy to this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Ability: Levitate
Item: Choice Specs
Nature:Modest
Ev's: 4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe
Moveset:
-Draco Meteor
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Trick
I wanted a hard-hitter, so I grabbed a choice specs Latias. Draco Meteor decimates anything that switches in. The downside to this is the special atk drop which basically forces me to switch. Of course, I'm gunna run into pursuit TTar's and Scizor which are gunna take advantage of the SpAtk drop, making it bait for whatever it wants to do with Latias. Should I just switch it to a choice scarf-er? Or just ditch the whole Latias thing all together?
Ability: Water Absorb
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Bold
EV's: 188 HP / 252 Def / 68 Spe
Moveset:
-Wish
-Protect
-Surf
-Ice Beam
Yep, its the typical Wish Vappy. I love this thing till no end. It stalls out anything without any difficulty, it takes both special hits and physical hits like no other. It's just great, I wouldnt switch it for anything else.
OKAY!, well here's my team. I hope you guys can help me in any way possible! Please! I really want some feedback, and it would be pretty tight to hit 1300 CRE on Shoddy Lol.
Ty for your time!
