Combination Weavile Sweep
Introduction:
Hey Smogoners, I'm here with my lastest RMT after my last team featuring Mixnape bombed. It won 3-3 like the Stuyvesant Peglegs (insider). Sadly enough, I had to retire my rather lovely team. While scanning Smogon for a cool pokemon to make a team on, I wanted something unusual, but fast and stronger. A dragon-killer if you will. I stepped upon the less used, but still incredibly strong Weavile. It completed the criteria that I demanded.
Team at a glance
Indepth Look at:
THE LEAD
Zuzu (Swampert) @ Leftovers
252 hp/ 252 Def/ 4 Speed
Relaxed Nature
Torrent Ability
-Stealth Rock
-Ice Beam
-Earthquake
-Roar
Role: Zuzu is primarily my lead and its natural bulk allows it to take many hits. Arguably one of the best leads out there and since not much can take it down. It also serves as my phazer to take out those DD pkmn and SD pkmn. Also to give everyone a healthy dose of Stealth Rock. It resists every hit Swampert can throw at it and strike back with a damn Ice Beam for a OHKO. EQ is for STAB and a decent damage. Roar is to shuffle around the opponent's team scouting the team.
Team Synergy: Resisting Rock and its immunity to Electric automatic makes him a good partner with my Weavile. Also the resistance to the Metal Bug's Bullet Punch adds a huge whoop ass. Naturally Grass goes to my Heatran, Celebi, and/or Gyarados (Depending on pokemon)
Nickname: Zuzu is the swampert owned by Ruby and Zuzu sounds like mad pro so I named it Zuzu.
Combo #1(PHYSICAL BASED)
The Bulky Dragon-like dude
Gyara (Gyarados)@ Leftovers
72 Hp/ 100 Atk/ 84 Def/ 252 Speed
Adamant Nature
Intimidate
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Ice Fang
-Taunt
Role: This is my Bulky Gyarados with a wierd EV spread, unlike the one on Smogon Strat. Dex because I figured Max Speed was more important while sacrificing some HP ev's. I also increased the atk Ev's to 100 so it can still dent alot of pokemon. The moveset is like the Standard DD and the BulkyGyara set. Instead of Bounce, I used Ice Fang to take care of Celebi since I say no to Bounce.Waterfall is for the obvious stab. Taunt is to get rid of those pesky Status Ailments. Dragon Dance is my favorite up-move since it fckin raises 2 stats at once. 1 DD will outspeed mad shit and 2, i doubt anything could top that.
Team Synergy: Gyarados is the most reliable Scizor wall out there. It can take all its hits with relative ease. Scizor is like the bane of Weavile's existence so Scizor can't stop a Gyarados if its banded. DD the switch. Although it can't take Rock will, my other pkmn can deal with that. Gyarados also takes Weavile's Fighting and Steel weakness relatively well also so Weavile and Gyarados are a fit match.
Nickname: I named it Gyara because Red in the manga named it Gyara as well...so yea.
The Buff Teddy Bear
Flash (Electivire) @ Expert Belt
20 Atk/ 252 Sp./ 220 Sp.A
Motor Drive Ability
Mild Nature
-Thunderbolt
-Flamethrower
-Hidden Power Grass
-Cross Chop
Role: I've head so much hate about Electivire so I decided to try it. It worked mad pro like son. In tandem with Gyarados they are a force to be reckon with. Many people hate on how Electivire is only OU because of Motor Drive. Damn...you are wrong. It is like Gyarados equal stat wise. In my eyes, it has better stats all around. With 123 Atk, and a modest 95 Speed it can totally wreck opponent's teams with motor drive on. It can outspeed Salamence and OHKO it with Ice Punch. I chose T-Punch over T-bolt because I felt that abusing its Attack stat was more worth it. Ice punch, eq, and Cross Chop are all for coverage. Expert Belt boosts all my supereffective hits and with Electivire's vast movepool, it can use Expert Belt very effectively.
Team Synergy: This thing might be frail, but its ability along with Gyarados is a force to be reckon with. Sometimes he's my last pokemon to face a brutal team of 3 and somehow he pulls it off. Its ground weakness isn't all too bad, since Gyarados can take all its ground attacks and Electivire can take all Gyarados's elec. hits.
Name: I can't really figure this one out. It was between: Sparky or Flash. Sparky sounds cool. Maybe Mustang!
Combo #2: Defensive Core
The Dome of Lava?
Explotaro (Heatran) @ Shuca Berry
4 Hp/ 252 Speed/ 252 Sp. A
Flash Fire
Timid Nature
-Substitute
-Toxic
-Fire Blast
-Earth Power
Role: He is my special sweeper with excellent coverage. I pretty sure that Magnezone won't switch in now. Mainly, my Scizor check. I come in on its Bullet Punch and sub on its switch. Proceed to Fire Blast or Earth Power. Heatran's impressive 130 Sp. A causes Fire Blast/ Earth Power to dent alot of pokemon even if they resist it. Substitute is to avoid statuses, like an extra life. Toxic is to stall out the opponent so I don't die. Fire Blast for stab and Earth Power to take out Metagross and other pokemon that resist Fireblast (like other heatran). The only pokemon that i can think of the resist this combination is Gyarados. But Toxic it before I die.
Team Synergy: Heatran is my staller/ Special Sweeper. I must admit however it is very slow. But that doesn't matter right? Heatran resists alot of stuff that Celebi and Weavile are scared of. Fire. Flash Fire comes in handy when there is a Sunny Day team since i get like a 2X boost. It serves as an Early Game status Inflicter and to screw with my opponent. Hehehehe.
Nickname: Explotaro is Gold's nickname for his Typhlosion and that is one hell of a name so I adapted it to my own pokemon.
The Green Fairy thing...
Tinker (Celebi) @ Leftovers
252 HP/ 80 Atk/ 120 Def/ 58 Speed
Impish Nature
Nature Cure
-Swords Dance
-Baton Pass
-Seed Bomb
-Thunder Wave
Role: People might be saying WTF? SWORDS DANCE!? Yes I'm running Swords Dance Pass which can srsly add my other physically oriented sweepers such as Electivire, Gyarados, or Weavile. Seed Bomb is for STAB and with 1 Swords Dance it can pack a damn punch. Baton Pass to get away from slower Pursuit Users thinking Imma get switch out. Thunder Wave is to Slow down my enemies so my slower Gyarados, Heatran, and Electivire get a fair chance at sweeping.
Team Synergy: Everything that screws my Celebi over is resisted by my Heatran and Vice Versa. Its like they were made for eachother. This is mainly to support my team with more stabs and shit. Baton Pass is just to get out without switching be it without a swords dance I can still gtfo. I outspeed all pursuit trappers except the rare Weavile Trapper.
Name: Tinker is a fairy and so is Celebi. DONT RANT FOR UNORIGINALITY!
THE STAR SHARPED CLAW PKMN!
Shadow Claw @ Life Orb
252 Atk/ 4 Hp/ 252 Speed
Jolly Nature
Pressure
-Swords Dance
-Ice Shard
-Brick Break
-Night Slash
Role: The main sweeper in my team. 252 Atk is to max out his damage output late game which can easily sweep teams. Swords Dance can like seriously dent many pokemon easily 2HKO a Cressilia. Swords Dance is to increase my Sweeping potential. Maybe I dont need to SD if I can passed it by my Celebi so I can come in on a T-Tar. Ice Shard is my priority move/ revenge killer move. Brick break is for coverage against Rock/Steel Types. Night Slash is for general Stab.
Team Synergy: It is the main sweeper and it doesn't cover anything since its so frail, but all my other pokemon cover it. Weavile is my main dragon killer. Comes in on the usual dragons and then SD's on the switch. they dont wanna stay and lose that Mence. No matter the HP/ DEF stats invested, Ice Shard never fails to deliver.
Nickname: Shadow Claw is like what he is. he's a dark type and a Sharp Clawed Pokemon.

. I meant to put that in my post. That's what I would do, seeing as it's no surprise to whether or not he has a pert or not, just kill it with a HP-grass-wielding or some other grass special-wielding poke, then it's beddy bye time for this team.
