Flawless...4th gen*read*

[AceTrainerAndy]

Hey, Smogon its cosbykid just askng for a simple favor! I was wondering if you "Experts" could rate my team. I wouldn't call my self an expert so I need help Ok here it goes... I'm not very creative so i just use Smogon sets. Oh, also keeep in mind i dont allow or use Rotom forms.

Empoleon @focus sash
Ability:Torrent@
Evs:172 Hp/252 SP at/84 speed
Nature:Modest

Stealth rocks
Aqua jet
Ice beam
Hydro Pump

This is my favorite OU lead! Because it is very uncommon to see. Empoleon rareley needs it's focus sash. Not many people are prepared for an empoleon lead. Empoleon always gets rocks up every time (unless taunted of course). When Empoleon gets taunted its usualy by Aerodactyly.So its Hydro pump to take it to its sash then aqua jet and get rocks up later. This empoleon absoutley Hates Roserade leads...I got swept by one they put him to sleep switched out and swept with Lucario.

Scizor @ Life orb

Ability:technician
Evs: 252 ATT 4 def 252 Speed
Nature: Adamant

Bullet punch
Bug Bite
Swords Dance
Brick break


This is a very nice Scizor he works really well on this team. What you do is switch in on a pokemon who is weak to scizor such as Vaporeon and start setting up. My first Mission is to KO all Heatrans before I setup. Pretty much if the pokemon dosent resist steel, bullet punch will always do a hefty amount of damage. I also have this scizor for the UU sweeper Swellow. I got swept by a swellow once. So i have the prioroty Bullet punch.

Vaporeon @ Leftovers

Ability: water absorb
Evs: 248 HP/224 Def/ 36 spdef
nature: Bold

Wish
Protect
Roar
Surf

This Vaporeon takes hits like a champion! She is an absolute beast. She can give: Wish support, Scout,Wall,. Im debating between switching roar with toxic. But i like to roar pokemon for stealth rock damage such as: Gyarados, Dragonite. The only problem is that it is so DAMN slow. it has 169 speed at LVL100 but makes up for it in bulk.

Heatran @ choice scarf
Ability:flash fire
Evs:252 sp att/4 spd/252 speed
nature:Naive

Flamethrower
EXPLOSION
Earth Power
Dragon Pulse

I am an accuracy freak just to let you know. Heatran is the best choice scarf revenge killer in my opinion. He can also take fire moves for scizor and willow wisps for other pokemon who do not want to be burned. I have Dragon pulse to always kill dragonite because they are a pain.

Gyarados @leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
Evs:176HP/76att/96 DEF/184Spd
nature: Adamant

Stone EDge
Dragon Dance
Taunt
Waterfall

Sorry for the crappy picture I couldn't find any good ones...Anyways, Just a standard Bulky Dragon dance set. I've watched a lot of youtube videos and most succesful ones had a Gyardos of some sort. Intimidate is extremley helpful when you are being swept by a physical attacker. Ive noticed that a lot of the people that ive been battling dont set up stealth rocks anymore so I decided on gyardos FTW. Mostly for intimidate though.

Blissey@ leftover
Ability: Natural cure
EVs:252 HP/252 def/4 speed
Nature: Bold

Aromatherapy
Toxic
Ice Beam
Soft boiled


Just your average Cleric blissey in case somebody gets a status problem or im expecting a special move.This blissey can give status to. Im debating between T-wave or Toxic. Im kinda leaning towards T-wave because vaporeon has Toxic. What do you think?




Please rate.BE VERY VERY PICKY PLEASE. Also, please do not give me a grammar lesson my taxes pay people to that for me.thanks and BY!

There's no need to run Blissey on an offensive team; she just slows every else down. Also without a more sturdy scarfer you are vulnerable to threats like babiri DDtar, Gyarados, even some Dragonite who can survive a weak dragon pulse. Having Vaporeon and Gyarados is also redundant, so one of them should be swapped out. Also Empoleon isn't the most reliable lead, but if you wish to keep it try a chople/shuca berry to prevent machamp/metagross from destroying you.

To fix these problems try running a Scarf Flygon over Heatran, with a set of (Outrage/Earthquake/U-Turn/Thunderpunch). Flygon can take care of popular sweepers like Gyarados, Dragonite, and Tyranitar, whom Heatran can't reliably deal with. Heatran is better suited as an offensive player, either with a sub +3 attacks set or LO set. Heatran w/ life orb can make a decent lead to but that's optional. A better option for Blissey is Jirachi, the calm mind/wish version. You can still heal with wish if you chose to replace vaporeon, and you can check threats like Starmie, Breloom, and Gengar w/ thunderbolt and psychic. EVs would be 252 Hp/80SpD/176 Spe

Overall Changes:
-Replace either Vaporeon for Scarf Flygon
-Replace Blissey for Wish Jirachi (makes up for loss of Vappy)
-Make Heatran a non-scarf set (sub + 3 attacks, LO, ect)
-Consider lead Heatran, optional.

Well, I say that's a decent team. If you're scared of LeadRades, replace your Focus Sash for a Lum Berry because it heals all status and you said you rarely needs your Sash anyways. Scizor, Vaporeon, and Heatran are all good. For your Gyara however, I'd switch your Def and Atk EVs around, because you'd still be bulky, but you'd get some more power. For Blissey, move those remaining 4 EVs into Sp.A, not Speed, because you need that Sp.A for Ice Beam. (Triple simultanious posts) :)

Alright thanks guys I kind of want a bulky offense team so im gonna keep blissey. Eggber you are kinda right about heatran but im going for bulky offence and heatran can take hits flygon can't take hits as well.... I really like walls so a heatran would work better on a bulky offence team.
