Hello all; first time poster, long time player.
Just a few questions about the team I'm using for Shoddy (which is how I discovered Smogon)
More or less a team focused on sweeping:
Porygon-Z @ Wise Glasses
Modest
Adaptability
6 HP/252 Sp Atk/252 Spd
-Nasty Plot
-Tri-Attack
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
Basic set up and sweep with Z, he hits well enough but pretty frail
Scizor @ Life Orb
Adamant
Technician
6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-X-Scissor
-Night Slash
Fairly generic scizor set up, night slash is for rotom
wondering if I should drop Speed for HP since I'm relying on Bullet Punch
Tyranitar @ Expert Belt
Adamant
Sand Stream
68 HP/252 Atk/190 Spd
-Crunch
-Stone Edge
-Eathquake
-Thunder Fang
Thunder fang is to catch people off guard...otherwise its fairly straight forward
Jolteon @ Peteya Berry
Timid
Volt Absorb
6 HP/252 Sp Atk/252 Spd
-Thunderbolt
-Charge Beam
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power (grass)
Im not sure if I want to keep him on board, but he always ends being somewhat useful against scizor/rotom/etc.
Starmie @ Choice Specs
Modest
Natural Cure
6 HP/252 Sp Atk/252 Spd
-Surf
-Psychic
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
Standard specs sweeper
Lucario @ Salac Berry
Adamant
Inner Focus
-Crunch
-Reversal
-Swords Dance
-Endure
Occasionally the ace up my sleeve, but salac doesn't always do enough speed boost against threats like flinch hax Jirachi, maybe switch to Jolly nature?
So any advice, comments, suggestions, etc. will be appreciated.
Thank you.
