Hello, i'm back! Smogon Forums was being a jerk and wouldn't let me log in, but i'm back! And just in time for a new RMT! This is a team that i've been willing to post for a while now. Without further ado, let me unwrap the Teambuilding section!
I chose Mega Sableye as my lead, as nobody usually expects Mega, making Magic Bounce useful.
I chose Breloom, Clawitzer and RK9 to give that FWG core, along with fast sweeping potential and Spore in Breloom's case.
I realized that my only reliable bulky pokemon were Sableye and RK9, so I added Registeel for the third wall on my team.
I chose Zoroark just to have more Special offense on my side, along with the super handy Illusion ability.
Gemini (Sableye) @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Calm Mind
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
Mega-Sableye. Oh boy, where do I even BEGIN with this one! Nobody usually expects the Mega Evo due to the fact that it's not that common. Because of that, Mega Sableye can start it's reign of terror. First lead off with it, Mega Evolve to block hazards, and set up Calm Mind while burning any Physical attackers and Recovering when your health goes down. THAT'S IT. It's so simple, but so useful, making Mega-Sableye a nice Bulky Sweeper.
Badger (Breloom) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Mach Punch
- Bullet Seed
- Spore
- Swords Dance
Ahh, a generic Breloom. Breloom is one of those Pokemon who is a staple in most teams. Mach Punch for priority Technician, Bullet Seed multiplies damage 2-5 times in a row, Spore shuts down plenty of threats, and Breloom can then proceed to Swords Dance while they are asleep and commence sweeping. Overall, I think Breloom is a great Pokemon overall.
RK9 (Arcanine) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature
- Morning Sun
- Flare Blitz
- Extreme Speed
- Will-O-Wisp
Bulky RK9 is beyond great. Morning Sun is for recovery, Flare Blitz is a great STAB move that recoil can be healed with Morning Sun, Extreme Speed is for Priority revenge killing, and Will-O-Wisp allows RK9 to cripple physical attackers. Bulky Arcanine is a great Pokemon, and anyone who disagrees deserves to become a burning dog.
Magnum (Clawitzer) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mega Launcher
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse
- Dragon Pulse
- Water Pulse
Scarf Clawitzer may seem odd, especially on something with base 59 speed. But Scarfed Clawitzer can actually somehow outspeed Scarfed Nape. Plus Mega Launcher allows it to hit hard, working great as a revenge killer. Overall, Scarf is the only way to use Clawitzer.
Pentagon (Registeel) @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Rest
- Seismic Toss
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
A great reliable wall. ChestoRest Registeel is a great mon to have, just to sponge those Moonblasts. EQ and Iron Head are reliable coverage, whilst Seismic Toss is great for stuff that Registeel can't handle, such as Chansey. Registeel is just an amazing wall, there is nothing more to say then that.
ReggaeWolf (Zoroark) @ Leftovers
Ability: Illusion
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 HP / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Focus Blast
- Nasty Plot
- Substitute
Zoroark is an interesting pokemon. On the outside, it looks like a generic dark type special sweeper. If you look closely, however, it has the Ability Illusion, which allows it to look like into the last pokemon inside your party. Because of this, it can play mind tricks with your opponents. Zoroark is a great mon for a great reason, as it has so many things that seperates it from the other special sweepers.
Here is a replay that i've gathered:
