Dragons Lurk In The Shadows
Welcome to my offencive team!
This is a team I have been working on with a friend of mine and it has shown great promise on the ladder! So without further adieu I present to you my premiere team!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf

Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 80 HP / 252 SpAtk / 176 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Trick
- Stealth Rock
- Iron Head
- Ice Punch

This is my lead, and first choice sweeper, it allows me to cripple set up leads, get up some quick Stealth Rock, and potentially pull a serene grace fueled sweep out of Jirachi! (Not
necessarily in that order)

Flygon (M) @ Life Orb

Ability: Levitate
EVs: 200 Atk / 56 SpAtk / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Draco Meteor
This is my mixed sweeper and first line of defense against heatran’s fire blast/earth power, allowing me to bluff that I am scarfed and predict the next switch in, The moves are self explanatory.

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb

Ability: Blaze
EVs: 24 Atk / 252 SpAtk / 232 Spe
Naive Nature
- Close Combat
- Flamethrower
- Grass Knot
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Celebi @ Choice Scarf

Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 68 HP / 252 SpAtk / 188 Spe
Modest Nature
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Energy Ball
- Psychic
The beauty of Scarfbii, The EVs have been edited to assure the outspeeding of naive Scarftran.

Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Band

Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 176 HP / 252 Atk / 80 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Tail
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit
Standard CBtar, a terror for several teams and can send walls packing, its just the everyday CBtar set cept I have EQ and aqua tail for both the coverage of EQ and the 2hko on Hippo from aqua tail

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 74 HP / 252 Atk / 184 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Bounce
- Stone Edge
- Waterfall
Life orb gyra minus the life orb. I like bounce here, so it stays as it does everything ice fand does and more.

Happy Rating.

Nice team Ipf,

Not much to say accept to point out that Fire Blast on Ape deserves an honorable mention seeing as after Stealth Rock and Sand storm damage a max def Zapdos is OHKOed by it, zapdos can couse you some trouble so that is why I suggested it.

Why do you have a calm nature on Ttar? ._.

Thanks for the mention I was going to put that but yea. Its actually adamant nature xD I'll fix it now.

 

[DC-Shadow_Blaze]

at a 2nd glance, I suggest you change mixape's EVs to 232 SpATk/252 Spd/24 atk, this allows you to outspeed unsuspecting mixapes that run the classic set, this can help you KO a thorn in your side...

 

[Valantaro]

I strongly advise Crunch on Tyranitar, over something besides Stone Edge. EQ is the weakest link if you ask me. It only hits Steel types, and a lot of them are already hit damn hard by Stone Edge (Forretress, Skarmory) or Crunch (Metagross, Jirachi).

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you're having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.
