Deeps-Syxoed (Deoxys-Speed) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Teravolt
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Spore
- Imprison
- Magic Coat
As I created this team, I realized I needed a good lead, so I chose Deo-S. As a lead should have, I put Stealth Rock on there to set up a monopolizing entry hazard. As I played, I noticed all of the dedicated set up leads out there and chose to give it an anti-lead spin to it, giving it Magic Coat to reflect their own hazards and Spore to give me extra turns and immobilize leads. Imprison was put on there to prevent other leads from reflecting my hazards with their own Magic Coat and disable Spore and SR too. You'll notice there is 0 Atk investment on this set. This is because Deoxys is a common target to Foul Play.
Noduorg (Groudon) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd
Impish Nature
- Nature Power
- Spore
- Heart Swap
- Milk Drink
Groudon is my main counter to stat boosters and Baton Pass chains by taking their boosts out of the loop and using them for myself. If you look below, my Reshiram is heavily reliant on boosting itself and therefore is a target to Imposter Chanseys. Groudon is also my check for that. With Prankster/Nature Power, this powerful legendary gets priority STAB Earthquake as well as +1 to Spore, Heart Swap, and instant healing. Most people use Rhydon for the same purpose, giving it eviolite, but with Groudon, I have a higher Atk stat and gain the use of the Lum Berry.
Marihser (Reshiram) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Contrary
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd
Rash Nature
- Overheat
- Draco Meteor
- V-create
- Leaf Storm
This Reshiram is an amazing sweeper if you give it a couple turns to set up (hence spore on previous sets). Lum berry is to prevent instant immobilization from spore users. I chose Reshiram for this set because it has (almost) unresisted powerful STAB moves that raise its own SAtk. Leaf Storm is for coverage on ground types (namely Groudon and Rhydon) while V-Create is a very useful tool for raising both defenses and speed all at the same time.
Spoehcra (Archeops) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Magic Guard
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Head Smash
- Brave Bird
- Earthquake
- Icicle Crash
Archeops was a recent change to my team, but effective. With Magic Guard, he doesn't take recoil from its STAB moves or damage from poison. The toxic orb is for an immunity to unwanted status such as sleep or burn. Earthquake and Icicle Crash were thrown on at the last minute for coverage, but aren't pulling their weight quite like I would have hoped. This slot in my party has been shifting around a lot lately, and any suggestions would be welcome.
Anitarig (Giratina) @ Leftovers
Trait: Magic Bounce
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd
Bold Nature
- Wish
- Heal Bell
- Protect
- Dragon Tail
Giratina is my Magic Bouncer to constantly throw off users of spore, taunt, stealth rock, and even whirlwind. Dragon tail is used for phazing whatever I want off the field, and it is not blocked by Magic Bounce. Heal bell is for when the other team members exhaust their Lum berries or Archeops switches in to the wrong move. Seeing as this is a support set, I decided on wish as well for the sweepers without recovery. Protect is for scouting and the famous wish/protect combo.
Kcalb-Meruyk (Kyurem-Black) @ Expert Belt
Trait: Skill Link
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Icicle Spear
- Dual Chop
- Rock Blast
- Bone Rush
Kyurem-B is my third sweeper that can go through even substitute with a set full of multi-strike moves in combination with skill link. This specific Pokemon was chosen for his towering attack and excellent STAB. Icicle Spear and Dual Chop are for powerful STAB moves and Rock Blast is for that super-effective coverage powered by the expert belt. Bone Rush is so that this set cannot be completely walled by steel-types.
Thank you for taking the time to read my team, and I hope someone out there actually plays this metagame and is willing to rate!
