Offensive Team: Fantasy Land
This is a team I have developed for the standard ladder with help from Scofield. I would great appreaciate any problems you see with this team. I have worked hard on it and it has worked good so far, but i want to make it better. So please RMT.
Team at a glance:
Machamp (F) @ Payapa Berry
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 126 HP/252 Atk/132 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dynamicpunch
- Earthquake
- Payback
- Bullet Punch
Good old machamp. My favorite pokemon. Why as a lead? Because he has one of the most nerve breaking moves : Dynamicpunch. This attack leaves you confused and also goes throught protect 50% of the time with No Guard. 132 speed evs are for outspeeding the normal metagross lead and stop it from laying rocks 50% of the time with the combo of Dynamicpunch and Earthquake. Payback is azelf who is still a common lead altough a little forgotten. Use Bullet punch to finish pokemons who had sash. Payapa Berry is an item im doubting right now. It assures I get the kill against Azelf but leaves me open to status. Which is a common way to take down Machamp. I will appreacite your help with this lead.
Magnezone @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 172 HP/84 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Signal Beam
- Hidden Power {Grass}
- Substitute
I needed something that could resist psychich, flying, ghost, dark, and steel. While being a threat to common steel pokemons. Heatran surged in to my head at once, but I forgoed it since it is far too common an steels can still switch out from it. I have been playing around with some magnezone sets but I think I found the one that is suited for my needs. Subsitutes in front of things like Choice Band Scizor trapped into bullet punch or Choice Scarf Jirachi trapped into Iron head. I chose HP Grass over HP Ice because of Swampert. He is annoying an it thinks it can switch into magnezone safely. Signal beam over the recommended magnet rise because I have three immunities to Ground and it helps counter Celebi which are foolish to think that just because they resist electric they can counter Magnezone. Overall has synergy with my team and counters Latias's counter, Scizor.
Gengar (F) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
This is the pokemon i use when things get a little out of hand, such as a 2 DD Gyarados or a 1 DD Salamence. It is my revenge killer and serves as Scizor bait so that latias won't have any problems. Shadow Ball is there for STAB, ThunderBolt and HP Ice are for Gyarados and Dragons. I am in doubt. Trick can be useful for harming stall, but Focus Blast desintigrates Tyranitar and does some damage to Blissey. I haven't run into many problems with stall since lucario pretty much KO's or 2KO's most pokemon. Tricking a scarf might also lead me to an end game sweep.
Bronzong @ Light Clay
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/96 Def/160 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Explosion
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Stealth Rock
Altough as stated this is an offensive team. But as such I needed something that could help by taking hits and helps my sweepers. Since i started with an offensive lead I needed something that could also help by puttin Stealth Rock. Bronzong fit the job. Light Screen and Reflect are for helping my sweepers. Explosion is to let the sweepers come in safely and kill or weaken his pokemon. Stealth Rock helps weaken teams who switch alot and aids to make kills faster for sweepers. Bronzong provides a ground immunity and a dragon resist which helps alot.
Latias (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 148 HP/252 Spd/108 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Recover
- Dragon Pulse
- Refresh
With steels out of the way, it seemed natural that a Latias sweep might happen. I needed something that could resist fire while still providing a way to recover itself. Salamence crossed my mind with it's destructive power, but I flashed it away since SR weak, it would wear down quickly. So I opted for the more conservative pokemon, Latias. With this set I am able to beat Blissey. Which might be a pain if Physical attackers are down. It outspeeds Salamence and any other dragon that is not scarfed or DD and finishes them with a clean OHKO with Dragon Pulse. Under Reflect and Light Screen it becomes a ruhless monster and is able to sweep most of the time. Refresh over Reflect sine I already have reflect on Bronzong and Latias hates status. Great special sweeper.
Lucario (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk/6 Def/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Crunch
- Extremespeed
- Swords Dance
Lucario, probably one of the most ruthless sweepers ever. With the three attacking moves it achieves unresisted coverage. Crunch over Ice Punch since Ghost are nasty and they are immune to my stab. Extremespeed over the other prioriy moves Lucario has ,Bullet Punch, Mach Punch, since even after STAB calculated it is stronger than both of his other priority moves. Lures Salamence in making it have to do Earthquake or Fire Blast in which case I switch to Latias to KO. Greatly benefits team by finishing of weakend frail pokemon. After a Sword Dance it is able to run through a team.
As I finish this I am exhausted. Thank You for taking your time and help me with my team.
