As the title entails this is my first RMT on Smogon and its great to be part of the community guys =D Advise away![/FONT]
Raikou:
@life orb
Pressure
Timid 0/0/0/252/6/252
Calm mind
Thunderbolt
HP Fighting 70
Shadow Ball
I based the team around Raikou because it has immense power and bulk after a calm mind, When I read the analysis on it I was astonished to hear it could OHKO Heatran and Scizor with a +1 boost, The two most used pokemon in Standard. After that I decided I had to make a team around it.
Heatran:
@leftovers
FlashFire
Naïve 0/0/0/252/6/252
Substitute
Fire Blast
Earth Power
Explosion
I then wanted a Blissey lure, It’s also a fine counter to many other threats so I included Heatran.[/FONT]
Gyarados:
@Leftovers
Intimidate
Adamant 156/76/96/0/0/184
Dragon Dance
Stone Edge
WaterFall
Taunt
Then I needed something that could take ground hits, I chose Gyarados because it can take ground hits and keep all the offensive momentum, Gyarados is also my favorite pokemon so it had to have a spot
Jirachi:
@Choice Scarf
Serene Grace
Jolly 6/252/0/0/0/252
Thunderpunch
Fire Punch
Ice Punch
Iron Head
I needed a check to other DD dos/nite so I added scarf Jirachi, The Flinchax is so awesome, It can often win games when you’re down 1-3 or anything just because of flinches.
Dragonite:
@Leftovers
Inner Focus
Adamant 252/52/0/0/0/204
Dragon Dance
EarthQuake
Outrage
Roost
I added in D-nite for another ground resist and because of it’s sweeping capabilities, It’s pretty much the same reason I added Gyarados.
Azelf:
@Light Clay
Levitate
Jolly 252/0/0/0/6/252
Light Screen
Reflect
Stealth Rock
Explosion
I decided on dual screens Azelf lead, Dual Screens helps aid in setting up one of my sweepers for a sweep early on or late game if Azelf survives.
