Introduction
Hello smogon pplz. I've decided to post an rmt so i can get help with my team. I'm not very good at lc but I've been trying to get as best as i can with it. The team seems to be pretty good but its still beaten alot. The people on PO have been really helpful and id like help from other pplz too.
At a glance
Shuppet, This is my favorite lc pokemon. This pokemon is amazing even tho the sets i saw when looking it up seemed to not be very good. Its typing allows it to come in on most missys who try to hp fighting my meowth. (i have to watch out for wow tho). Shadow sneak and sucker punch are how i get passed Shuppets bad speed. And the band brings its attack to 28 which is enough to ohko oran berry missy without them having to attack, and hits 85% evolution stone meditite(it kills after meowths fake out). Sucker punch is needed against evolution stone missy. Frisk allows me to determine which item the opponent is using for better prediction. Frustration is good against people who try to switch to a normal type since Alot of them are ohko'd by it. Tesshido is Shuppets worst nightmare but if i can predict it ill just trick and switch to natu. I'm thinking about putting the speed evs into defense since i have priority but I'm not sure if it'd be a good decision.
Actual Team Part
Meowth (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Technician
EVs: 236 Atk / 36 SAtk / 236 Spe
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Fake Out
- Feint
- Bite
- Icy Wind
Meowth is my lead and it will always stay like that. I know i can switch leads with the wifi clause thing but i barely ever because i have Meowth.
Fake out is self explanatory i usually use it at the beginning. Feint is amazing this gen with stab, technician boost, and +2 priority its a good, quick, strong move to use on Meowth (also fake-out + feint is a good revenge killing combo). Bite attacks ghosts who try to switch in on Meowth(tho i usually don't predict that good). Icy Wind ohkos gligar. and the normal typing helps me with switching shuppet in on missy. oh and feint 2hkos carvanhas that try to protect a fake out.
Meditite (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Pure Power
EVs: 36 HP / 196 Atk / 76 SDef / 200 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Drain Punch
- Ice Punch
- Zen Headbutt
- Trick
Scarf Meditite, with 28 attack and 22 speed it's able to come in on a zuruggu's dragon dance and proceed to ohko. Drain punch is there instead of hjk because i have absolutely horrible luck with hjk. Ice punch and Zen headbutt are for more coverage. Trick can cripple pokemon and help me depending on the item i get. And that's about all Meditite does. oh and if i need to use evo stone meditite i can just trick an evo stone to me.
Natu (M) @ Evolution Stone
Trait: Magic Mirror
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Def / 236 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Psychic
- Roost
This is Natu, Natu is my stallbreaker. Natu comes in on a stall pokemon trying to set up entry hazards or trying to status me. Natu really helps with the overpopulation of tesshido since it resists bullet seed and can just calm mind while it switches out or hp fire it to deal some good damage. After one calm mind Natu can withstand a thunderbolt from magnemite and ohko it with hp fire. Psychic is a pretty good stab that helps against pururiruriru(whatever its called) and other stall pokemon that Natu wants to kill. Roost allows me to roost,roost,cm,roost,roost, cm to setup and kill puriruiruriuru.
Diglett (M) @ Evolution Stone
Trait: Arena Trap
EVs: 236 Atk / 36 Def / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Claw Sharpen
- Sucker Punch
- Earthquake
- Substitute
Diglett is one of my revenge killers. It's able to ohko a lot of things with its stab earthquake and can finish off alot of other things with its other moves. Diglett is also helpful against people who use scarf magnemite/chinchou as it switches in and claw sharpens up to +6 and Proceeds to sweep with 45 attack and 20 speed. It has substitute so it can be easily able to use sucker punch and its allowed to hit twice instead of once. Diglett is actually a good counter to things like houndoom and alot of other things. Evostone is there just to take a hit.
Shellder (M) @ Evolution Stone
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 240 Atk / 40 Def / 160 SAtk / 68 Spd
Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Ive been testing with a huge amount of raw power things and this is the best. 17 defense allows me an easy setup. icicle spear's accuracy is awesome and hp fire OHKOs tess rock blast just completes the coverage. it can take a slowpoke it and 2hko. and with evolution stone it can leave and come back into the battle and shell smash whenever needed. It can come in on meditite but other than that it really doesn't do much other than wreak havoc on teams.
Shuppet (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Frisk
EVs: 236 Atk / 36 SAtk / 236 Spe

Threats
Im not very good at remembering my battles or paying attention to how i lose or what happens during the battle so i dont know many threats. But ill Just add as the threats are mentioned or i realize it in a battle.
Threat
Threat level 2
Threat level 3
HOLY CRAP I'M DEAD!!!
Dokkora: I really don't know what to do on this guy. I haven't faced one since i put zen headbutt on meditite so i'm not sure if that will ohko it. but other than that i hate the thing.
Puruririruriru: It walls some of my Pokemon but Natu can setup on it and start killing.
Slowpoke: Even tho i haven't had problems with it from looking at my team i cant really see how i counter it so i'm just going to put it as a threat.
Scarf puririuriruirui: Ive only seen one. but its overpowered nothing switches in on it, and only Natu can kill it if it has +2 spdef when it comes in. Im scared of them... so.. very... scared...
My poor decisions: I don't pay attention to the battles much so i cant really make a lot of good decisions. Sometimes i can still win but i usually dont.
Komatana: If shellder is dead or i mispredict is absolutely sweeps my team with ease.
Ishizumai: Ive only seen one person use it but i cant do anything against it. i cant kill it yet it kills me. Im not sure if Krabby can kill it since i haven't seen one since i made that adjustment but if not then that one pokemon will sweep my entire team.
