because my other RMT is kinda dead (RMT)

OTHER TEAM THIS TIME! Because only Misty (thanks Misty) responded my other, more boring, RMt. its a bit more fun, and i like it a lot better. I SUCK on EV spreads, so if u could help me a bit here? if D/P was on NB with damage calc i could probably coem up with some, cuz i dunno how u guys do it so well. I saved this team on word, so i can edit any changes fast. Note how i will NOT change Sceptile and Rhyperior. Everything else is ok.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Pressure
SAtk, Speed, HP (in that order)
Modest Nature???
- Thunderbolt
- HP Ice?
- Substitute
- Feather Rest

He’s my lead and will counter any non-Stone Edge Gyarados.


Sceptile @ Life Orb
Overgrow
252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Adamant Nature?
- Leaf Blade
- Swords Dance
- Crunch
- Stone Edge/Rock Slide (for flinch)

Life Orb or Lefties; I dunno. Crunch for Celebi, Cresselia, Alzelf kinda. I gotta have my favorite pokemon on my team, right? I’m not changing the fact he’s a physical sweeper, so no Leech Seed sets. Move or item replacements are very welcome, however.


Rhyperior @ Leftovers
Hard Rock
Enough HP for 404, rest in attack and defense
Brave Nature?
- Stealth Rock
- Substitute
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

Seems too defensive to me, though I could use a good SRer. I used to have Roar over Stone Edge, but that limited me too much.


Dusknoir @ Leftovers
Pressure
Max HP, rest in attack and special defense
Relaxed Nature??
- Pain Split
- Wil-oWisp
- Quick Revenge
- Focus Punch

The last 2 moves were things I couldn’t decide well on. There are two other good physical ghost moves I could use over QR. Rapid Spin blocker.


Lucairo @ Life Orb?
Inner Focus
Speed, SAtk, Attack (mostly in 1st two)
Hasty Nature??
- In Fight
- Luster Canon
- Shadow Ball
- Dragon Pulse

He's a needed special sweeper to resist Weavile really. Plus he’s cool. Maybe I should run Choice Glasses on him?


Suicune @ Leftovers
Pressure
HP, Defense, SAtk
Bold Nature
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Roar
- Rest

Ugh, I NEEDED this one. She provides more Pressure, a way to Phaze, and a much needed Ice Beam.

Well I suck with EVs and Natures, now lets look at the counters. Some of these may be entirely wrong.


Tyranitar: Suicune kinda, Rhyperior can come in and EQ it
Gyarados: Zapdos is ready for ya, sucker.
Infernape: Suicune, Dusknoir sort of.
Azelf---oh boy…Rhyperior should be able to come in on Explosion, Psychic, or Flamethrower, but after a Scheme, Psychic is gonna hurt…
Rhyperior…hm, Sceptile and Suicune can wear it down, but only Suicune and my own Rhyperior can come in on it effectively.
Electivire: Rhyperior can come in on it relatively safely due to Hard Rock.
Heracross: um, Zapdos can hurt it…sort of. I have trouble here.
Togekiss---eh, Dusknoir can sort of come in on it…I dunno.
Gengar: same as above, only that Lucairo can come in on a Sludge Bomb and Shadow Ball it FTW!
Garchomp: Suicune can Ice Beam it, while Zapdos lead can HP Ice it
Raikou: Rhyperior has this one. I’m really starting to like Rhyperior now.
Lucario---Dusknoir and Suicune can wear it out.
Rampardos-Dusknoir and Rhyperior can get this one
Tauros: Rhyperior, but Intimidate will hinder me.
Starmie: Zapdos? Dusknoir can also come in and Quick Revenge it.
Weavile: Lucairo, beeeeesh
Dugtrio: uh oh. Zapdos?
Alakazam: Dusknoir, but he can’t come in on CG Psychics too much
PorygonZ: Same as above really.
Medicham: actually Dusknoir can come in and burn this one, as well as Quick revenge it.
Staraptor-if Rhyperior has Stone Edge, yes. But Suicune and Zapdos have this. Dusknoir can burn too.
Slowbro: Zapdos and Sceptile IF THEY COME IN ON SURF. Sceptile can’t really do it without a SD on him.
Jolteon---Rhyperior pretty much.
Aerodactyl: oy. Suicune, but a CH CB Stone Edge will be GG I think.
Snorlax: Dusknoir burn will force him to rest, and Rhyperior will
Zapdos: hehe, I can Stone Edge it with Rhyperior.
Blissey: Rhyperior can set up 101 Sub and EQ it to death.
Slaking: Rhyperior.
Sceptile: my own Sceppy can come in on a Leech Seed, and maybe force a switch. Really I dunno if that will work.
Ninjask: Suicune used Roar and Ice Beam. Priceless. For non BP versions, there’s Rhyperior.
Metagross: Suicune can come in on CB Meteor Mash like ADV.
Celebi: Sceptile can come in on Leech Seed and Crunch away
Jirachi: Rhyperior can get it if Jirachi doesn’t use Reflect…
Suicune: Zapdos but im gonna get Ice Beamed.
Manaphy: wow, Zapdos and Sceptile can come in but they’re gonna get Ice Beamed.
Salamence: Suicune ice beam FTW, sucka.

After seeing this, my team really relies on Rhyperior to counter a lot. And I really like this team in the end. Suggestions, go.

EDIT: Crap i had pictures but it didnt go. oh well.
 
First, since you rely on Rhyperior so much, just give it max HP and an Impish nature. Not sure on Attack to Def ratio for EVs though. Also put Roar over Sub. It's more useful on an all-out attacker version.

I like physical Sceptile. Both Rock Slide and Stone Edge 2HKO a bulky Gyarados switch-in after a Swords Dance. Stone Edge can OHKO a CGMence switch-in after a Swords Dance, while Rock Slide will never OHKO. I find that to be more than enough reason to run Stone Edge.

Lucario can still 2HKO Blissey with minimum Atk. Run Timid Nature, CG, and no Atk EV's.

Replace Quick Revenge and Focus Punch with Thunderpunch and Fire Punch on Dusknoir. Then it can counter Heracross and Gyarados. Zapdos is not a Gyarados counter because of Ice Fang. I don't see the point of Sub without Baton Pass. I recommend Light Screen or such over it.

Either go STalk on Suicune or entirely remove Rest. If you give Rhyperior Roar over Sub, you can go STalk/Surf/IB.
 
Sceptile doesn't get Stone Edge, just Rock Slide. You might want to consider Scissor Cross over Crunch. It hits Cresselia and Azelf just as hard and craps all over Celebi and any other Grass type. You will have more problems with Ghosts though.

Don't worry about Togekiss either, Zapdos is the best counter for it I can think of.

Max out Rhyperior's HP and Defense, you'll still have 317 Attack and he'll laugh at the majority of physical hits too.
 
thnx guys ill put theses changes on word. If i dont use rest on Suicune, would Tail Wind or Reflect (if he gets it) be good choices?
