Hi, guy (or girl) who is reading this.
Here, I'm going to explain how I built a team.
This is a OU team and I don't know if it'll be powerful or not, because I was on holidays without internet when I wrote this.
This is a full sweep team (I think so ?) with Pokemons that I love :p
I built it point by point, and I have to precise that I'm not a huge Stratege. In fact, I'm a sort of newfag, a beginner. :)
So you HAVE to be rude and tell me what's wrong in this team ! :)
I also wanted to join common pokemons and uncommon ones, in this Tier. Hmm, I think.
By the way I have no Stealth rock, and no Rapid spinner, but that's not a problem. :)
First, I wanted something uncommon, and which can hurts like a crazy moonwalker (Huh, forget this, please.)
That's why I chosed :
SwAllow (Swellow) (M) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Guts
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Facade
- U-turn
- Pursuit
- Protect
The main move is Facade, which hurts very, very hard, even if Swellow's attack isn't that high.
Facade is 70 base attack. x2 because of Toxic orb, so it's 140. Let's add the STAB, it is 210. And, oh ! Guts. Then it is 315
I think it's not too bad ! :)
Pursuit is here for Ghosts that want to be nasty against SwAllow. It puts them in a second tomb :)
U-Turn is for things that aren't hurt by both Facade and Pursuit, or which can explode SwAllow like a pop-corn.
Protect is here for the first turn to make Toxic orb active. :)
Swellow is at my knowledge the fastest Gutser, and it flys, so it does not fear Earthquake ^^
So it'll be a decent option to absorb Ground and Ghost typed moves.
It reaches 383 speed, and so outspeeds most Gyarados after a DD, Starmie, Gengar, and everything that isn't scarfed, i suppose ?
Here you want to say "WTF Toxic orb ?"
The reason is that SwAllow won't stay for ages in fight, so Toxic orb seems better ! :)
I could have chosen Flame Orb to piss off Trickers, but I'd have to fear them because they could give it back to another one of my physical sweepers...
You want to freeze it ? Scizor and Infernape aren't okay
You want to burn it ? Heatran isn't okay
You want to Rock it? Okay.
Then I wanted to test a move that isn't well-known, and I needed something fast to make it effective. :^)
That's why I have chosen :
GodHand (Ambipom) (M) @ Liechi Berry
Ability: Technician
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fake Out
- Fire Punch
- Last Resort
- Substitute
(Crowd is saying : MAN I WANTED A OU TEAM NOT A UU.) Bla bla bla, I don't have to use Salamence or Gengar to hurt. :)
Everytime I see an Ambipom, it's like being in front of a Bot.
First turn : Fake out, then U-Turn. :/
Ambipom is much better! :D
With Jolly nature and full EV, it reaches 361 speed, so it ties with timid Starmie, it outspeeds naive Gengar, etc.
He also reaches 299 power, so let's say hi to Fake Out, with Technician ability ^^ (Yes it's known.)
Seeing this thing, Iron guys will come to him, but he'll Firepunch them, and they do not like it! :)
Here, I don't know how to realize that, but my wish is to make the berry activate after 3 substitutes, so he can sweep even if hail or Sandstorm is active.
Last resort is his main move, and it's the move to test! :)
(Liechi Berry is the Berry that increases attack, right ? >.<)
Attack goes to 448, with a move that hurts for 130xSTAB, so 195 power. Hmm, interesting on something very fast ! :D
You want to fighting it ? Cresselia isn't okay
In this team, it seemed to be important to have something very resistant to fighting, because of Heatran and Ambipom, and which takes x1 damages on much things.
That's why I have chosen :
TryToKillMe_LOL (Cresselia) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Moonlight
- Ice Beam
- Calm Mind
- Toxic
This Cresselia is pure defensive monster. If my opponent has no hazer anymore, it's an unkillable thing.
It reaches 444 hp, 372 defense, and 297 Special defense, which will be upgraded by Calm Mind :)
Moonlight heals it (yeah, 25% under SS, i know...), and Toxic is here to kill other Stallers, like water bulkys.
This Cresselia can easily take on a Salamence and freeze it down.
It's also levitating, so w00T w00T.
You want to insectize it ? Infernape, Heatran, Swellow and Cizayox are laughing hard
You want to Ghost it ? Swellow and Ambipom do not agree
You want to Darkness it ? Heatran, Infernape and Cizayox are laughing too.
After this solid wall, I wanted a fast and mixed SweepeR.
Well, another Salamence? Bark, no.
Let's put the light on :
MONKEY FTW (Infernape) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 28 Atk/252 Spd/230 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Grass Knot
- Flamethrower
- Nasty Plot
- Close Combat
Maybe it's well-known maybe not, but in France it's not.
The plot it : Nasty-plot. (LOL PLOT IS PLOT. T_T)
Just nasty plot on the switch, then destroy your opponent. :)
A Nasty-plotted Grass Knot will take the stomach out of a water bulky, Close combat says LOLZWUT to Snorlax and Blissey.
Flamethrower is STABBED and burns down every steel things, like Skarmory, Forretress, Scizor... ^^
This thing is really unexpectedly powerful.
It kills alone the famous SkarmBliss (Does it still exists ? XD)
And... I love this ape, so I'm happy to use it in a team.
You want to psychic it ? Scizor, Heatran and Cresselia won't agree
You want to ground it ? Swellow and Cresselia are still laughing
You want to flying it ? Heatran'll explain you that it's bad
You want to water it ? Okay, but I hope that you aren't OHKOed by Grass Knot.
Well, I wanted a scarfer, to revenge kill something if I needed it, and I also wanted something resistant to dragon, fire, insect, iron.
Hmmm, Hi you :
HellFire (Heatran) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Explosion
- Earth Power
- Overheat
- Hidden Power [Electric]
Heatran is a monster in my opinion because it does not only resist fire, it absorbs it. Ahah ! :D *demoniac laugh*
With his scarf, he goes to 417 speed, so even a DDed Gyarados won't outspeed it. :)
Earthpower kills much things, and I had not another ground move, so I needed it ! ^^ It also kills others Heatran
Overheat is stabbed and burns Iron down, and everything that is not Fire-resistant.
Hidden Power Electric allows me not to fear Gyarados, and flying things. I prefer this to Dragon Pulse, because Salamence and water guys are also weak to this.
Explosion is a last resort, if I have to face something that I can't destroy.
I sometimes see Heatran scarfers, but they aren't speed-boosted like this, so mine outspeeds them, and OHKO them with Earth Power ^_^
You want to fighting it ? Swellow and Cresselia do not agree that
You want to water it ? Let's hope you'll resist Hidden power.
You want to ground it ? Oh man, Cresselia and Swellow are levitating, that's too bad.
Then, I wanted to include my favorite guy. I mean, a Pokemon that always satisfy me !
I've named the pokemon which can be described by the sentence "No fear, no pity, no mercy"... :
Agammemnon (Scizor) (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Technician
EVs: 80 HP/252 Atk/178 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- X-Scissor
- Superpower
- Swords Dance
My Scizor is a massive destruction weapon. He swords dances, then sweeps like Hell.
Bullet punch stunts many things, and Superpower kills Snorlax/Blissey, Iron guys, etc. ^^
X-Scissor is for Cresselia or things that resist Bullet punch. (And it's STABbed.)
The common reaction against Scizor is : Burn it ! Then I switch to Heatran and piss my opponent off.
Then when I switch back to Scizor, he wants to paralyse it... But Lum Berry allows me to Swords Dance and to crush my opponent.
Tadaaa ! :D
A complete team ! :)
As I said at the beginning, i do not really fear Stealth rock, because i have no Focus sash to be destroyed, and I have no Rock weakness...
Except SwAllow, my lead.
I have 2 poison immunities, 2 ground immunities, a Fire immunity, 2 ghost immunities, 6 x4 resistances, and only one x4 weakness, that is not too frustrating.
I do not see what to change in this team, and i'll do much tests in the next days.
Your turn.
:D
