An bulky offensive RMT, with speed

I didn't really have a team-building process for making this team, I just sorta found Crobat and then thought of pokemon I thought would be good around him. So:

Changes are bold in blue

Lead

crobat.jpg


Yo Momma (Crobat) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 106 HP/152 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Brave Bird
- Taunt
- U-Turn
- Roost
---

Basically word-for-word the Standard Bat Smogon Set. It mostly just takes Azelf with Taunt and then I can switch to Shuckle or Magnezone to take the hit. I've actually swept four pokemon in a row from the beginning, then acted as a tank with Roost. Brave Bird can take out most fast leads. Overall usage is throughout the whole battle.

Physical Powerhouse

scizor.jpg


Yo Face (Scizor) (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/10 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Pursuit
- Superpower
---


Your basic Scizor. Not much to explain, verbatim from Smogon standard set. Bullet Punch anything and everything, U-turn for scouting, Superpower for other Steels, and Pursuit is very nice, as Scizor can force quite a few switches. Because of its high defense, it can also defend against physical sweepers and hit back hard with Bullet Punch and Superpower.

Steel Killer

Your Pokemon (Magnezone) @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 40 HP/218 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Explosion
- Magnet Rise
- Substitute
---


Thunderbolt and Magnet Pull 1/2HKOs all Steels except maybe Metagross; Magnet Rise can take away that annoying EQ weakness and allow it to make a nice Substitute in front of Metagross.

Special Wall

Obese Chicken(F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 Spd
Bold nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled
- Seismic Toss
- Toxic
---

By now you may have noticed that these are the Smogon set, changing one move. Well Blissey is the Cleric set on Smogon; I chose Thunder wave instead of toxic as it can force switches and cripples Rotom and Gengar. Aromatherapy can get really useful against stall teams.

Physical Sweeper/Tank

Your Father's Uncle's Aunt's Mother's Grandson's Second Cousin Twice Removed's Former Roommate (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP/72 Atk/96 Def/184 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Taunt
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
---


Ah Gyarados. You are so delighfully awesome. Complete adherence to the standard, of course, but with more EVs in defenses; I find that the extra DD that these defenses allow really helps. It also allows Gyra to become a tank against weaker mixed sweepers.

This used to be Shuckle, so everything's changed for this last slot

The End of the Road

salamence.jpg


Blearrrgh (Salamence) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Spd/240 SAtk/18 Atk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Draco Meteor
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
---


Newer MixMence. As noted below by Press To Play, it pwns and KOs or severely damages almost anything that switches into it. Having such a potent offensive force on my team will soften up the opposing team and make it much easier for DD Gyarados later on in the battle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, this is my team. It's won 5 battles in a row so far, if that means anything. Suicide leads are easily taken down by Crobat's Taunt, and due to its unique type, it can take down mostly any Fighting or Grass type, making it a good counter for Breloom and a revenge killer for Machamp. I find it useful against Celebi once they've been weakened a little bit; 252 Att EVs might make it OHKO with Brave Bird, but the HP EVs help so much. Good against Tanks due to Taunt and immunity to poison. Scizor, along with Magnezone, takes down Rock types. Scizor can also take down opposing Magnezone with Superpower. Blissey really shuts down all specials, there's just no way around that, but if it does get KOed, then Gyra can step in and work around its loss if the sweeper hasn't powered up yet. I think if a Salamence has used DD more than once, it'll probably sweep my team, but if I can get in a shot, before, I might be able to take it down, with heavy losses. Heatran with Choice Specs poses a pretty big threat to this team, as it can learn Explosion, kill Blissey, and clear the way for another sweeper.Gyarados can wall/kill Heatran, and take out Infernape if Stealth Rock hasn't been set up. Crobat's good for this; it uses Taunt and stops Stealth Rock.
 
Magnezone@Leftovers
Naive - 252SpAtk, 216Spe, 40HP
-Thunderbolt
-Explosion
-Substitute
-HP Ice

Use that Set on Zone You can defeat Salamence from Behind the Sub. What you have to do is Force Scizor to do BP. Then Bam you come in with Magnezone, Scizor stuck on BP and Proceed to Sub-Up. T-Bolt 2HKO Scizor
 
Most Scizor are pretty much there to BP Or U-Turn out so most likely Scizor Might just come in on shuckle and BP to take it out that when u protect with Shuckle to scout wut move he is doing then if he does BP Switch to Zone but if the Doesnt well that just advantage you.
 
Hi. ;;

drop Hp grass on Crobat, as the only thing it hits is swampert, hippowdon and the occsional ttar. replace it wit uturn to scout and maintain momentum. replace magnet rise for explosion as it allows you to remove problem pokemons in a pinch.. then go naive on zone and dump the 40 hp evs to atk. replace shuckle for something else.. you have no sandstorm in your team to multiply it's spdef by 1.5. also, it contributes little offensively. replace it with mixmence perhaps. mixmence blows holes in your opponent's team which could help dddos sweep.

good luck. ;D
 
Sorry I asked again, I wasn't thinking of Bullet Punch as "BP", I was thinking about Baton Pass. Sorry for misunderstanding.

Are you sure taking Shuckle out is a good idea? I love the idea of MixMence, but what if a hard-hitting physical sweeper came out. It could sweep freely without Shuckle.

I like Explosion, but what about Metagross? With Magnet Rise, I kept EQ away and was able to safely KO it.
 
bp is bullet punch. :)

and as for mixmence.. very little can switch into mixmence without being severely dented or dead. shuckle cant do much as he is weak to key physical offensive types. steel (scizor, metagross) and water (gyara). shuckle doesnt have enough hp to function as a wall as well. your team is offensive, and shuckle just slows your tempo (so is blissey but i think blisseys fine enough)
 
I get what you're saying about it being an offensive team. For that reason, and because a few of my pokes have pretty good special defense, I was thinking of a pokemon that could give and take special moves. I was thinking of using Celebi, as it can also learn Heal Bell, and remove my sweepers of annoying statuses.

EDIT:I meant instead of Blissey. Maybe Glaceon would work too, or Gengar for sweeping only. He can be annoying.
 
damn. its already 3AM here. D:

stick with blissey for now i guess. no to glaceon. >:l you have nothing on your team that can switch in to strong spec attacks. LOjolt for example run over your team once blissey's dead. if you dont like mixmence, jolteon could be a nice replacement for shuckle. it switches in to electric attacks that are aimed for gyara and gyara can in turn, come in on ground moves threatening to KO jolt. sorry if i couldnt be more specific. ill help you out more tomorrow. ;;
 
Hey, no, you've been incredibly helpful, sorry that you stayed up so late. I really appreciate it. I love the idea of MixMence, and I was just wondering whether it was a good idea to change Blissey. However, I've been thinking about it, and I like Aromatherapy a lot, as well as pwning special sweepers. So...I'll probably keep it. Thank you so much.

Changing Blissey's T-Wave to Toxic, almost lost a battle by not having it.

I think I'll keep Blissey. It provides a great way to deal with the massive amount of Special Sweepers. However, I think this team might have a problem with physical Lucario. It obviously beats Blissey, and only Salamence can safely revenge kill it, with Flamethrower, and Stealth Rock can take it out quite easily. Do you guys have any suggestions about how to overcome this challenge?
 
you wont have a problem with lucario considering you have 2 checks to it, salamence and gyarados, thanks to their intimidate. and uhm, change the ev spread on your mixmence. 252spe/240spatk/16atk, naive, life orb. moves are dm-eq-fb-roost. this set will help your odds against stall and blow holes in your opponent's team with dm. :)
 
Wow. Failure. When I changed Shuckle to Salamence, I missed the EV spread and items and Nature. I have all that in the team, and edited it up top. I just have a question. If I use Draco Meteor, then I can't really use it or Fire Blast for the rest of the switch-in. I'm fine with that, but is EQ all Mence needs on the physical end once dm's been used?

EDIT:Also, would EQ be a better move for Gyra than Stone Edge?
 
wait. mistake. dm-fb-bb-roost. :) to kill blisseys with dm + bb.

regarding your question, most people switch in their steel types or bulky waters when they see a mence.

Salamence's Draco Meteor does 45.8% - 54.2% to the Standard CB Scizor. Easily still with the KO range of Mence's Fire Blast.

Salamence's Draco Meteor does 71.3% - 83.9% to the standard MixPert Lead. Still within KO range for another DM.

Salamence's Draco Meteor does 38.3% - 45.4% to a 4/0 Heatran. Brick Break does 54.3% - 64.2% to it. A clean 2HKO with SR up and still a high chance of it without. So the SpAtk. Drop won't matter much since Mence kills his switch-ins and Mence can just Roost, switch out and do it all over again.

P.S: You have a fighting move on your team. Mence's Brick Break and Scizor's Superpower. ;;
 
I like that Salamence. Thank you for pointing out Superpower on Scizor.
I've used EQ successfully on Gyra in the past, and it has worked well to take out electrics (Jolteon) and others once it has DDed. Also, Stone Edge doesn't really cover much. Should I use EQ instead?
 
you'll be walled by dragons.. (salamence, dnite..) waterfall+stone edge hits everything for at least neutral damage except for empoleon, breloom.. -_- forgot the others.
 
Hey, just a few final thoughts. I realize Blissey is Timid; that is obviously not an optimal nature. Should I choose Bold or Calm, given the EV spread that I have? Also, should I up Gyara's speed and take out of its defenses? I think that would greatly help in its sweeping ability, as teams usually switch to a counter that I can't simply DD in front of without getting statused, seriously injured, or dying.

EDIT:Also, I can't think of how to block Infernape except revenge kill with Crobat. Also, should I give Scizor Swords Dance instead of Choice Band, as its Att goes higher after Dancing and if I switch it in at the correct time, I'll get a free Dance. I'm also considering Scarftran instead of Scizor because of its revenge killing capabilities and that everyone seems to have a Scizor counter now.
