Build to tick off. Help needed!

Crash Hard

Still currently testing on shoddy, this is a new stall team designed to more or less tick off the opponent as much as possible. What I’m noticing on shoddy is that it is too defensively oriented. I’ve got specific qualms/concerns listed under the actual pokes. If I have two moves listed in one spot, the first one is what I’ve been using so far. I know it’s working well if I get a lot of chat on shoddy that doesn’t fall into the category of “good sportsmanship”. In those cases I just giggle manically to myself and keep it up.

Bronzong@lefties
Relaxed- 252hp/104atk/152def
-Gyro Ball
-Stealth Rock
-Reflect
-Trick Room/EQ

Starts up with SR, reflect support is great. Trick room actually gives Zong a bit of sweeping power. With 0 Speed IV’s, Gyro ball hits hard and going first with it is great. But…I’ve also found the TR has jacked up other med-speed ranged teammates, so it will most likely be swapped for EQ or Explosion.

Umbreon@lefties
Bold- 252hp/104def/154SpD
-Mean look
-BP
-Wish
-Yawn

This guy I’m not sure about. He’s either worked out fantastically, or been deadweight depending on the opponent. The idea is obviously to trap, sleep, and pass to one of the three following pokes for them to do their thing. Either it works great or not at all.

Suicune@lefties
Bold- 252hp/104def/154SpD
-Calm Mind
-Roar
-Surf
-HP:Elec

Standard CM Suicune. HP:Elec for gyarados, vaporeon, salamance, etc. I’ve had pretty good success with this one. I like vaporeon too for wish, but I find he doesn’t stay around as long as cune even with the healing.

Regigigas@lefties
Adamant- 252hp/154def/104SpD
-Twave
-Confuse Ray
-Substitute
-Stomp

I love this guy. When he works, he works great. But…when he doesn’t, he’s like umbreon and becomes deadweight. When I get a sleeping poke passed to Reg I get a few turns to setup a sub and confuse, then Twave when they wake up and if they don’t switch or have the devil’s own luck I win. I’ve had this one take out 5 pokes in a row, and I’ve had him go down nearly immediately.

Togekiss@lefties
Calm- 252hp/252Spe
-Body Slam/Nasty Plot
-Roost
-Air Slash
-Aura Sphere/Nasty Plot

Pretty standard flinchhax. I’d like to toss Nasty Plot on there to give him some setup if I get a pass from Umbreon, but I’m not sure what I’d drop.

Cresselia@lefties
Calm- 252hp/104def/154SpD
-Twave
-Ice Beam
-Light Screen/Calm mind
-Moonlight

Special wall with screen/twave support. I may drop light screen for calm mind to make sure Cress isn’t as easily setup on. I hate blissey, I won’t use blissey, don’t suggest blissey.



That's it so far. I still consider myself a noobie battler, but please spare no criticisms while rating this one. Thanks!
 
That Suicune set is terrible. Atleast use Substitute if you are not using Rest. It needs to maintain its tanking abilities, and with Substitute you can beat Blissey sometimes-if they try to Toxic.

STAB, it Flinches, and has good accuracy.

Yup. The other options are Zen Headbutt and Focus Punch. But Zen Headbutt doesn't have STAB, and has less flinch chance...but it hits ghosts. Focus Punch has no flinch, and the flinch has saved me a few times.

Come on people...I've pretty much laid out my biggest concerns, some of which obviously need some tweaking. If nothing else you could comment on those.

How about this...is there something else that you think would do the job better than what I already have? What is it that annoys you more than anything else while battling? THAT'S what I want on this team.
