Dream World Classic Hyper offence!!

[YAYtears]

Okay so with the new 5th genaration making everyone make weather based teams, I decided to make a hyper offence team starting with Azelf. Okay it has tyranitar and doryuuzu, but doryuuzu can be replaced with any setuping steel. And don't complain about the breloom! I chose it because it had a technichian boosted STAB priority move. (Think Scizor). Okay so here's the team.

Okay so my hyper offence team needed a lead taht could setup dual screens. Azelf was the one.

Everyone knows how strong gyrados was last genaration. Now it has overconfidence because it's awesome like that. Flying types are awesome, and gyrados is the beast of them. He joined the team quickly.

I decided to try DDnite out because it had a nice Dream World ability called multi-scale, and it seemed nice to combine it with roost.He joined the team temporaily.

Then just out of nowhere, I decided to use DD tyranitar, because it was bulky and sets up well.

I remembered someone pairing dragonite and jirachi in his RMT because their resistances covered each other.I tried putting in Superrachi for that.

For the last pokemon, gyrados had a weakness to electric moves and no other pokemon covered that. So, I decided to put SD breloom in, abusing STAB technichian LO SD boosted mach punches. This was my prototype team.

Then my jirachi didn't shine that much, so I needed another steel to replace him. Heck, I have a tyranitar, lets add SDdoryuuzu too!

Along with Doryuuzu I switched Dragonite with DDmence, because once I gave Dragonite roost, it wasn't hyper offence anymore.

The team:

The dual screener
Azelf @ Light Clay
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Explosion
- Stealth Rock/taunt
Azelf the dual screener. It sets up screens and rocks, then explodes. But the thing is, it doesn't like to face with faster leads like genosect. Also I have trouble choosing between stealth rock and taunt (I'm using rocks now.) If there is a more suitable dual screener, I would use it.

The Sweeper

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Overconfidence
EVs: 156 HP / 72 Atk / 96 Def / 184 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Bounce
- Dragon Dance
- Taunt
Bulky DD dos. What else? Waterfall and bounce for STAB and coverage, DD to setup, taunt to prevent tanks from phazing it. The evs are from smogon in the 4th gen analyses. Overconfidence is an amazing ability, and it just lets it sweep a lot easier than intimidate. I may go with an offensive DDdos

The Dragon

Salamence (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Fire Blast
Okay why Intimidate and not overconfidence? Well I needed outrage since thats a 4th gen move tutor and overconfidence is DW. It can sweep well after one DD, using outrage as STAB, and fire blast and EQ for covering steels.

The Sand Storm Starter and buff DD sweeper

Tyranitar (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Fire Punch
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
Everything is awesome about tyranitar. Sandstorm, great special defence, dragon dance, and rock and dark STAB. DD is obvious, stone edge and crunch for dual STAB, and fire punch because nattorei and breloom are becoming popular.

The strongest Sweeper in the Whole Game

Doryuuzu (M) @ Balloon
Trait: Sand Throw
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Rock Slide
- X-Scissor
Really. Don't call me a noob just because I'm using it, I'll just switch it to another steel if it gets banned. With its ability giving it over 600 speed, it makes the best SD sweeper in the game and therefore likely to become Uber. SD to double its already great attack. EQ for STAB, and rock slide and X-Scissor for coverage.

The Sleep Inducing Doryuuzu Counter

Breloom (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Spore
- Bullet Seed
- Mach Punch
- Swords Dance
Hi Doryuuzu, Breloom says hi. Just having a LO maybe SD technichian boosted STAB mach punch to OHKO him, this guy is my doryuuzu counter. It also has a good chance to kill Shandera on the switchin with bullet seed. Spore because it's the best sleep inducing move Swords Dance to boost its already awesome attack, mach punch for priority, and bullet seed because it's its second strongest STAB combined with technichian. Don't call me a noob because of this. I only chose it because it had a STAB technichian boosted mach punch that hits doryuuzu in the face. I may transfer some of the speed evs to hp depending on who I want to outspeed.

Please Rate and suggest changes, especially to Azelf.

I'll suggest a perhaps strange lead dual screener in the form of:

Magnezone @ light clay
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP - 4 Att - 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
- Magic Coat
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Explosion


Magic Coat the obvious taunt/stealth rocks etc, sturdy acts as a focus sash and its steel typing prevents sandstorm damage.

It has an added bonus of many people thinking it has Magnet Pull and not expecting the set.

Alright I don't have time for a completely thorough rating, but here are some things that pop out at me:
For one, your Gyarados. I used to run the exact same set. Amazing, right? However, the EVs on it were calculated to get past Gyarados' most common threats back in Gen 4. However, these EVs are almost ineffective in Gen 5 as it doesn't give Gyarados the same bulk it used to. I'd maybe recommend switching to Max HP and defense, since the rest of your team (bar Azelf) is COMPLETELY offense.
I know its called "Hyper Offense" but that doesn't really mean that you should take the most offensively geared pokemon and throw them all on a team together with no strategy other than to attack until something dies. I mean, you have three Dragon Dancers and two Swords Dancers, and your only non-physical move is Fire Blast on Salamence which isn't at all enough to get past 99% of the metagame.
I would recommend Crescellia over Azelf, mainly because you're using Azelf as a suicide screener which simply isn't possible if you're using the screens to protect 5 completely defense-less pokemon. Cress however gives you more bulk, thunderwave to cripple the opponent, and way to heal your health.
The biggest whole in your team is your infinite weakness to Rain teams. Once Tyranitar's sand is gone, Ludicolo rips a whole through everything except (maybe) Gyarados. Swift Swim lets it outspeed anything that hasn't been boosted by Dragon Dance 2x. For this I'd probably recommend a more bulkier pokemon that can take hits, but stop most rain in their tracks.
Good luck with the team!

Krasnopesky, I'll try out the magnezone set.Also, just for some balance, I'll try ulgramoth instead of mence, and (possibly scarfed) shaymin instead of loom to take care of my weakness to rain. It leaves me a bit weak to other Doryuuzu, but hopefully it becomes banned. I'll test out which sets work best later. Oh and does Cress learn Magic coat? If then, I might put it for consideration.

Hyper Offense isn't a good playstyle this generation with Mischievous Heart and weather flying everywhere. Besides, this is considered a Sand team, just because you have Tyranitar and Doryuuzu, even if you don't want it to be.

The descriptions need to be fixed. You want people to understand why a certain Pokemon on your team, even if it's extremely obvious. You can't just say "oh, this is obvious sauce because it has...".

Hyper Offense also consists of immediate threats, Pokemon such as Ononokusu, who can come in and hurt the other team right away. Your team isn't Hyper Offense because it's five set-up sweepers.

Ice Shard and Mach Punch are two of the most common moves flying around this generation because of Doryuuzu and the Dragons. 5/6 of your team is 2HKOd at most by one of the aforementioned moves, even with screens.

Physical walls will eat you alive as you have one special attack and salamence does not have andy special attack investment or life orb to boost fire blasts power even a super effective fire blast wont ko most physical walls. Next if your going to use overconfidence run an offensive gyarados set. Intimidate adds to gyarados bulky sets bulk allowing him to not be 2hko by doryuuzus rock slide before a swords dance and not be 0hko after one. By the way roopushin with bulk up drain punch mach punch and stone edge owns you hitting everyone but your lead and breloom super effectively he can also set up alongside your guys. Also as R.B.G. says you have no immediate threats you need set up mischivous heart owns you. I would suggest gengar instead of salamence as dosnt add anything new to your team except outrage. With gengar you actually have a potent special attacking threat and one which dosnt REQUIRE SETUP I would try
Gengar@ life orb timid 252 speed 252 spec attack 4 hp
Shadow ball
Hidden power fire
focus blast/thunderbolt
substitute

Focus blast if your ok with missing often and thunderblot if you would like to not miss and be able to deal with potentially dangerous bulky waters.
