So i have been trying for a 100 win streak in battle tower, with no legendaries... Way harder than i expected... Having trouble getting passed the mid 30s!!! xD Also, more of a pride thing, i do not want to copy somebodies team or use pokemon that EVERYBODY uses i.e slamence, ttar, etc. So here is what i have so far.
Mismagius @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 speed, 252 SAtk
Nature: Timid
Moves: Trick, Nasty Plot, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball
One of my two leads i am trying to decide between, and quite frankly, i love her! Trick opponent into only using a single move and can turn right around and become a pretty nasty sweeper who can often still outspeed many pokemon. However, she is very frail which can be a problem so, depending on what the opponent uses, i may let her be sacrificed for a safe switch in for one of my other two pokemon or just switch and save her just in case. Thinking i may remove nasty plot for thunder wave, abandoning her ability to be a formidable sweeper, to help allow for a better set up for my sweepers.
Ninjask @ Leftovers
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 248 HP, 244 Def, 16 Spe
Nature: Jolly
Moves: Protect, Substitute, Swords Dance, Baton Pass
Tried using him without substitute, had a hard time keeping him alive or my sweeper from taking a hard hit upon switching in. Decided to make him attackless and focus strictly on passing speed, and hopefully a substitute. Passing swords dances when possible is nice but speed is the most important seeing as the pokemon i am trying to use are rather slow.
Now for the sweepers!
Lucario @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant
Moves: Substitute, Swords Dance, Close Combat, Bullet Punch
Made him before i made ninjask and therefore he has the ability to set up his own sub and use swords dance. Does rather well when he is able to set himself up but definitely got outsped too much when i tag him in after mismagius.
Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant
Moves: Dragon Dance, Dragon Claw, Waterfall, Aerial Ace
Again a pokemon i made before my ninjask. Basically built to counter lucarios weaknesses, hence the waterfall. Lum berry to protect him from status conditions seeing as he is usually my last resort. He compliments lucario very well seeing as he is resistant to luarios weaknesses and vise versa. However, it just seemed like either i didnt need him or when i sent him out i was in too big of a hole for him to matter.
Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant
Moves: Spore, Swords Dance, Superpower, Seed Bomb
Made this guy at the same time as ninjask knowing that he is slow. I chose superpower over focus punch because being only a 3-3 battle pokemon with swords dance i figure the reliability of the move hitting was worth the decrease in attack stat.
These are all the pokemon i have created so far, but i was thinking about making a new special sweeper to go along with my ninjask and breloom, so speed wouldnt be a critical thing. However, except for rain dancers, i am not very good at determining who would work or wouldnt work. Three that i had in mind were Starmie or Vaporeon, both being bulky enough to hopefully take a hit or two without dying, or a calm mind blissey. Open to all ideas, tweaks, suggestions, whatever! Thank you in advance for your feedback! :)
