At a glance:
This team is put together to enforce King Dedede's laws upon Dream Land, whilst looking incredibly badass and beating fucking Kirby (anyone know which Pokemon looks the most like Kirby?) into the ground.
American Ninja (Roserade) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 100 HP/156 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Toxic Spikes
- Sleep Powder
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power [Ground]
Roserade's name comes from two rather odd things: the episode it first appeared in on Pokemon in which it wore a ninja-like scarf that made everything it did look cute and incredibly badass. The American part is because it has those three bitch colors everyone in the 16th century loved so much. Apart from the ridiculous name, Roserade beats my primary enemy, Swampert just by existing as the lead. It is also a page out of UU, bringing the little meisters into the big leagues. Toxic Spikes is popular with Empoleon, and I hate Forretress and Tentacruel. Plus, I haven't had issues with SR so far, so I doubt Rapid Spin will be necessary. I may be wrong, but stall and phazing stops by Gliscor's hand.
King Dedede (Empoleon) (M) @ Petaya Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 12 HP/12 Def/232 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Agility
- Substitute
- Surf
- Ice Beam
The star of the team, albeit without his signature hammer. Empoleon does what he must, takes a giant penguin shit on everything that got through the first wave of his giant army of puff ball-ish creatures.
Godzilla (Tyranitar) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/40 Def/216 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Payback
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
The name is pretty cliche, but Tyranitar is nigh impregnable when he is being used defensively. Once set up enough, this thing proves more than a threat. I needed something that could both scare away Rotom, take all of its status, and get rid of it. CurseTar is too badass for its own good.
Scorpbat (Gliscor) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP/40 Def/216 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock
- Roost
- Earthquake
Pairs well with Tyranitar as the analysis always points out, I needed to stop the rampant phazing and stall that could injure my team, so here he is. Stealth Rock essentially makes him the utility, and Taunt Roost is good for his own stall. He is also my sole counter to Heracross, Lucario and other Fighting type threats.
North Wind (Suicune) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Rest
- Surf
- Sleep Talk
Yet another sleep talker? Crocune is incredibly hard to take down just like Tyranitar, so I decided, why not make sure Heatran, Infernape and such waste their miserable Mixed sets on something even more ridiculously annoying. A stalling machine with pressure makes this thing win most stall battles.
John Deer (Rotom-c) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Trick
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Rotom is a well thought out plan for this team, being immune to two of Empoleon's weaknesses (Fighting, Ground) and resistant to the last one (Electric). Scarf Rotom is a great revenge killer simply because it isn't expected. He puts a stop to Dragon Dancers (If Salamence is Jolly+328 Speed, I just force him to Outrage, letting me switch in Empoleon (Most of the time Empoleon can take two, Agility up, then KO with Ice Beam). In case the Mence is more standard, HP Ice revenge kills all of a sudden.
Threats:
- Breloom: Technically I can let one of my RestTalkers take the Spore, then switch to Rotom to outspeed and kill without worrying about Focus Punch. So far he hasn't given me the run for my money I usually have with him on other teams. Gliscor can also Taunt and shut him down on the spot. That is probably why.
- Scarf Rachi: Predictable, but at the same time, very annoying. Rotom can take Iron Heads, Tricks, and U-Turns all day, so appropriately it isn't as threatening with that in mind. I hate the flinch hax, as most things do. Roserade can't handle her immediately, so that would be why I hate her.
- Kingdra: In good health, it is able to take out at least two members. Empoleon does well to wall its attacks, but since I'm not using much bulk on Empoleon, Kingdra can wear him down fast.
- Specs Jolteon: Keeps you on your toes, although if stuck on Thunderbolt or Shadow Ball, I can take it from there. Tyranitar can technically stop any attack. Still a viable threat.
- All Dragon Dancers are always a problem to any team once they have multiple DDs. So I won't go too far explaining what happens when Mence or Gyara gets two DDs.
- My mom (You have a mother?). Why might I add this? For the laugh? The lameness of saying it? No, everyone is threatened by their mother. Agreed? It's pretty blatantly obvious.
Questions on what the hell I'm talking about? Want to know why I haven't listed more threats? With TWO RestTalkers, a Defensive Taunt user with Roost, a Scarfed Rotom, what exactly should I be fearing past plain horrible prediction? Give me some pointers so I don't have to add a question mark after everything I say xD
Will I answer your questions on what the hell I'm doing? Find out on the next... No! I'm disinclined to aquiesce to your requests. What? Don't look at me like that, it means no! =D I'm losing my mind
Edit: Anyone want a picture of Dedede in case you aren't familiar with concept of a pink ball's arch nemesis?
