Featuring ... JadeX' Hyper Offense
This team managed to peaked at 1670+ at a point of time.
It's not that high I know, this team isn't complete yet and I hope to find feedback and advice on
improving this team to a higher level (:
========================================================
TEAM BUILDING PROCESS
========================================================
Whimsicott (F)
Modest| Prankster | Leftover
252 HP, 252 Sp.Atk , 4 Def
Encore, Leech Seed, Stun Spore, Moon Blast
Many trainer underestimate this Pokemon. It's Prankster Encore is one of the most OP move in this game stopping set-up and creating many opportunities for my Pokemon to switch in. Stun Spore is to check scarf or fast Pokemon of course. Leech Seed is for recovery as well as forcing switch for Stun Spore to act on. Moon Blast is Whimsicott's only offensive move. Running Modest instead of Defensive Bold because Whimiscott can't take hit for nuts. It's really handy to run a Modest 252 Moon Blast at many times. Ouch!
Infernape (M)
Timid| Blaze | Focus Sash
252 Sp.Atk, 252 Speed, 4 Def
Stealth Rock, Overheat, Endeavor, Vacuum Wave
Lead Ape was no longer see much light these few days. It's fast enough to set up Stealth Rock. Sash is of course, for Infernape to maximise Overheat (Blaze) and Endeavor to it's full potential. Vaccum Wave is to finish off 1HP Pokemon or mainly Bisharp. I would say, Prediction is the key for this Pokemon. Knowing when to forgo Stealth and go on the offense, and when to use Overheat or Endeavor (usually against faster pokemon on first turn) would make or break the game. Endeavor is a really very useful skill which often allows me to bring hard to KO Pokemon to 1 HP. Still thinking if I should drop Infernape's Speed EV. Should I? Cos there are several times I wished Infernape haven't been able to outspeed others for Endeavor.
Scizor (M)
Adamant| Technician | Choice Band
252 Atk, 252 HP, 4 Def
Bullet Punch, U-Turn, Knock Off, Superpower
Scizor is very popular in the previous generation metagame and I have not been using it much cos of Talonflame. No doubt Talonflame is a greater threat in terms of damage and speed, but Scizor has the sustainabiity! The defense to withstand damages as well. Bullet Punch is for the Azumarills, Slyveon and other fairies roaming around. It still can't be compared to Talonflame's Brave Bird in many situation though but its Knock off and U-Turn are very useful. Since my Pokemon are mostly frail, Scizor's damaging U-Turn is very useful for me.
Landorus-T (M)
Adamant| Intimidate | Choice Scarf
252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 Def
U-Turn, Earthquake, Knock Off, Stone Edge
The fourth slot would goes to Landorus-T. With Choice Scarf, it becomes a very threatening Pivot with it's U-Turn as well as performing a Fast-Quake. Stone Edge is for coverage which I seldom use. Landorus is actually my most frequent Pokemon used for Knock Off. Due to it's popular leftover set, the scarf set usually takes people in by surprise.
Rotom-W
Modest| Levitate | Choice Scarf
252 Sp.Atk, 252 Speed, 4 Def
Volt Switch, Hydro Pump, Trick, Wil'o'Wisp
Forming the U-Turn and Volt Switch Core with Landorus-T would be this little critter. Hydro Pump is still one of the most defining meta game move. Initially, this slot belongs to Keldeo but I feel Rotom-W has more bulk especially against Talonflame which would often sweep my whole team. Volt Switch is pretty useful too for Pokemon who walls Hydro Pump like Slowbro. The fast Volt Switch and Hydro Pump usually caught people off guard too as they expect a Sitrus Berry or Leftover Defensive Rotom. Wil'O'Wisp is for crippling attackers of course, Scarf just makes it faster to do so which no one expects. It's also a bluff to make people think that im running a slow defensive standard Rotom. Trick is there to mess up opponent's strategies (Usually, getting their leftover to my side).
Sableye(M)
Careful | Prankster | Sablenite
252 HP, 112 Def, 144 Sp.Def
Wil'O'Wisp, Recover, Knock Off, Foul Play
Sableye is the Mega of my team. It serves as a fast Status-Spreader similarly to my Whimiscott as well as my team's Wall and Magic Bouncer. Usually just Wil'O'Wisp then Recover. Knock off is there to knock off the items and Foul Play is there for people who set ups infront of my Sableye.
Threat List:
Hippowdon, Talonflame, Landorus-T, Ferrothorn
