~A Tale of Two Sweepers~ *WiFi*

[pentupenguin]

This team is Semi-Sandstorm and has been working pretty well. The game is designed to end with a sweep from Scizor or Cacturne but often the game ends randomly, such as Magnezone sweeping or Hippowdon stalling it out with Cradily =/, but I don't care, if I win then it's all good. Anyways, onto the team.




Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Sandstream-Impish
252 HP/168 Def/88 Sp.D
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-Slack Off
-Roar

My lead, and I must say I've become quite fond of it. Most of the time I just start up with SR, unless I see the possibility of my opponent using that to his advantage. This thing is a beast, and can stall out whole teams with Roar and Stealth Rock/SS. It works fantastically as a physical wall and can even take on some special attackers. This starts up the sandstorm which Cacturne and Cradily later use to their advantage.

Magnezone @ Choice Scarf
Magnet Pull-Naive
252 Spd/252 Sp.A/6 HP
-Thunderbolt
-HP Fire
-Flash Cannon
-Explosion

This is my answer to opposing Scizor. It works fairly well at late game sweeping and it if becomes dead weight then it just explodes in the opponent's face. It usually clears the way for my Scizor to sweep by getting rid of other steels.

Cradily @ Leftovers
Suction Cups-Careful
252 HP/ 96 Sp.D/ 160 Def
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Recover
-Toxic

My special wall. This thing can wall and stall many things in OU. When all my sweepers are gone this thing and Hippowdon can usually win the game via pure stalling.

Porygon2 @ Leftovers
Trace-Bold
252 HP/ 216 Def/ 40 Sp.A
-Discharge
-Ice Beam
-Recover
-Thunderwave

The cyber duck is my answer to Gyarados, Salamance, and Heatran. It's key to Cacturne's sweep since it is the only team member that can provide it with paralyzis support. This team member is the first one I would be willing to replace, as long as the replacement has a way of paralizyng my opponent.
------


Scizor @ Life Orb
Technician-Adamant
252 HP/ 252 Att/ 6 Def
-Sword Dance
-Bullet Punch
-X-Scizzor
-Superpower

This is my first sweeper. There isn't much to say about him, he's the standard beast that comes out late game. I ran 252 HP since my team doesn't worry much about T-Tar and I can use the extra bulkiness it brings me.

------


Cacturne @ Brightpowder
Sand Veil-Adamant
252 Att/ 252 Spd/ 4 Def
-Sword Dance
-Substitute
-Sucker Punch
-Seed Bomb

This is the final member of my team. With paralyzis and Send Veil the opponent has about a 50% chance of hitting which gives me many chances to set up. It completely destroys anything not prepared for it.

Well, that's it for the team. Some side notes are that since this is for WiFi and I don't have much access to good leggies then yeah...I can't use them much =/ All I have is a Scarfed Heatran.

I only have one suggestion, you have Thunder Wave on Porygon2, so why not just put Thunderbolt over Discharge? You'll get power, and you can always paralyze with Discharge.

And consider Leftovers over BrightPowder on Cacturne so you can Sub more, incase the opponent hits through.

Possibly Heatran over Cacturne so you can absorb Fire Attacks, although Trace P2 is pretty good there.

I faced a team like this before and I gotta say it sucks to be facing it. once cacturne gets and SD and a sub its pretty hard to beat unless you stall it.

As lord blood said t-bolt is better cause you got T-wave.

nice team, and yes i was unprepared x_X

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you're having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.
