A NOT SO STANDARD WEATHER TEAM (UU)
Jumpluff
Magmortar
Victreebel
Blastoise
Moltres
Tangroth
introduction: I will be writeing this RMT from back to front with the lead explained last.
I'm doing it because I belive it helps better explain how the team functions as a whole.
You probably guessed from the line up that this is a sunny day team,I really don't know how to
classify the team but it is somewhere in between balanced and offensive.This in between spot
I belive suits sunny day teams perfectly due to the fact that they lack enough powerful sweeping
combinations to pull off a full offensive team(Without having severe holes anyway). But they also
weren't meant to be ordinary teams by any means do to the offensive boost that sun can provide.
But if I had to classify it I would have to say it is closer to the balanced side.
By utilizeing effective countering and some light prediction I have experienced a high win ratio
with this team in both shoddy battles and in local and online battles.
Victreebel@Life Orb
252Atk/252Spe/4HP
Jolly Nature
-Sleep Powder
-Swords Dance
-Leaf Blade
-Sucker Punch
When I first set about making a Sunny Day team I knew Immediately that it was going to do better in the UU teir.
So my first task was to find two pokes that could abuse the sun while still being out of the "Ordinary."
Victreebel was the first to strike me as both effective and odd at least with it utilizeing a physical set.
first off with the high speed it achives in the sun I saw a prime oppretunity to utilize sleep powder
and swords dance in combination.With high speed it induces sleep giveing it time to get at least one swords
dance in while they either sleep or switch,combined with life orb boost it greatly punishes any switch in.
Magmortar@Expert Belt
84 Atk / 252 SpA / 172 Spe
Mild nature
Lava Plume
Thunderbolt
Cross Chop
HP Ice
Next I wanted a Pocket Monster that could complement Victreebels typeing,Magmortar fit the bill perfectly
with its diverse movepool and good attack stats.With a sun boosted Lava Plume for STAB Thunderbolt for flyers
that think they can ruin Victreebels fun. Cross Chop for Clefable and Chansey and HP Ice for Dragons like Altaria
that resist the Fire and Grass type moves that my team loves.Equpped with an Expert Belt to boost the super effective hits
that will be all too common due to his great type coverage.
Moltres@Heat Rock
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
~ Sunny Day
~ Fire Blast
~ SolarBeam
~ Air Slash
Now I was stumped on this member for the longest time, I knew I wanted someone that could avoid the EQ that magmortar hated so
much but I wanted some that could make use of the sun too then I thought of Moltres who now has access to Solarbeam in addition
to being able to avoid eq and punish the fighting types that give this team so much trouble in addition to being able to set up
sun should my lead be unnable.
Tangrowth@leftovers
252Spe/124HP/124Atk
Jolly nature
~ Power Whip
~ Earthquake
~ Sleep Powder
~ Rockslide
Now what I needed was some sturdy type coverage and phazeing power Tangrowth with sleep Powder does it well as with all of the team
he relys on sun to reach peak effectiveness.Under sun he has roughly 430 speed to get quick sleep powders off then bulks his way through
the competition.
Blastoise@Leftovers
252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpA
Bold
~ Surf
~ Rapid Spin
~ Toxic
~ Ice Beam
Now I knew that due to all of my pokes being weak to Stealth Rocks I knew I had to have Spin support.Plus the only poke that has a
chance to counter fire types is also weak to fire and that would not be good. At first I thought to use Cloyster but I really do not want a
spinner that is weak to what I want to use it against. so I looked into Blastoise lo and behold he could kill fire types counter Dragons and spin.
Jumpluff@Heat rock
252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly
~ Sleep Powder
~ Sunny Day
~ U-turn
~ Encore
Now for the lead...Jumpluff fast a sunny day ability and the perfect setup lead he was an obvious choice he comes out sleep powders get the sun out
then u-turns to annoy again another time.When you need him to sun agin he comes in on a setup move encores sets up sun sleep powders
then u-turns out.
