Hey Smogon, this is my second attempt at a RMT. Unfortunately my old one didnt get a rate, hopefully this one does.
I am still fairly new to the whole Pokemon scene. Been battling for several months now and have improved quite a bit. I have built a team from scratch that I feel works quite well and can hold its own.
I prefer to play with a Balanced team and chose to use my main sweeper as a SD Lucario.
So on to the team now
Rotom-W @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Volt Switch
- Trick
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Rotom-W does a great job as my lead. Volt Switch is great for keeping offensive momentum and scouting attacks. HP Fire works great against Ferro who would wall Rotom. I try to bring Rotom in on walls such as Blissey and Vaporeon and trick them my choice scarf which makes it alot easier on Lucario to sweep.
Scizor (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Pursuit
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
Standard CB Scizor. Good revenge killer on and Pokemon that doesn't resist Bullet Punch. Pursuit works great on Lati@s and U-Turn allows me to keep my momentum and make the appropriate switch in.
Heatran (F) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Earth Power
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power [Ice]
My Defensive Heatran works great. He absorbs the Fire type attacks that would usually destroy my Lucario and Scizor, and sets up Stealth Rock. HP Ice is for Gliscor really. I chose Flamethrower over Fire Blast as im not too confident with its accuracy. Even though it works well I often find that Heatran just sets up rocks then gets killed to easily. I need some help finding another Poke who can set up stealth rock and can take hits.
Vaporeon (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Scald
- Wish
- Protect
- Roar
My Special Wall and Wish passer. Vaporeon saves games all the time for me. She can pass off wishes to my sweepers and can roar out pokes trying to set up on it. Protect is for the old Wish-Protect shenanigans, aswell as letting me get some more leftovers recovery or residual damage from scalds burn. Fits with this team quite well
Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- ExtremeSpeed
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Ice Punch
My main sweeper. I use Scizor and Rotom to weaken the opposing teams Pokes that Luke will have problems with, find the right opportunity to set up and GG. Nuff Sala. Extreme Speed gives me the priority to revenge kill if I have to. Ice Punch for Gliscor or Dnite. Close Combat for STAB.
Gliscor (F) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Taunt
- Protect
Your normal Toxic Orb Gliscor. Takes Physical hits so well. Taunt can help stop other pokes from setting up. EQ and Ice Fang is for some coverage. Protect lets me scout attacks and get some Toxic Orb recovery back.
I know this is kinda brief but thats really it. I hope to get some help on this. Just let me know if there is anything that needs to be changed.
Cheers
