Got Hera Counter?

chaos 9

Ok so this team has been doing well (beat mystica if anyone cares) and i think it can do better. This will be hastily done for now but i will fix it.

Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)

Kills gyra leads. also quite bulky as it takes 20-30% from a garchomp dragon claw and ohkos it back iirc. main gyra/dragon counter.

Heracross (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Guts

Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

Star of the show. Murders teams without gliscor or once he is removed. I built this team around him because he is one of the only pokes with just one counter.

Stratagy: Basicly clean walls and trap with tar and eventually sweep with cross.

RMT!

Threat list coming!
 
Slowbro isn't a good lead for this team since Gengar is very common and you don't have anything that would enjoy switching into him. Bronzong would be a better lead with maybe Lum Berry so it can KO Gengars that try to sleep you first turn. Scarf Cross has way more than 1 counter, its CB and SD cross thats only countered by Gliscor. Besides Slowbro you don't seem to have a good way of killing it off anyways. I would put HP Ice on Infernape for Gliscor and dragons. with only 4 HP Evs Tyranitar is easily getting 2HKOd by Starmie so try investing HP/SpDef in him. Ironically your team has a Heracross weakness. Zapdos over Togekiss helps against Heracross and other fighters.
 
I'm not sure how Bronzong would do taking the bulk of the hits. You've got more Attack EVs then both defenses combined. It also lacks a recovery move that may leave you a bit short handed in terms of Defense.

I also don't really think Slowbro as much of a lead. You're essentially leaving it out there to take out two of the most common leads and leaving it open to five others. Weavile, which you have to 2HKO and if it has Orb or Band 2HKO's you. Yanmega can easily use Bug Buzz, or Sleep and get boost. Gengar has Shadow Ball and Hypnosis. You won't 1HKO Tyranitar as it 2HKOs you. Abomasnow can set up seed, Leaf Storm.

edit - ryo posted while I was typing :(
 
In my mind, you seem to be pretty weak to Breloom and other sleepers. I would suggest putting Sleep Talk over Pursuit on Heracross for this reason. Sure, you can only use Sleep Talk once when your out, but it will pick an attacking move, and CB + Guts + everything else hurts. That way, you can absorb Gengar's sleep with Hera and Sleep Talk, or even move Bronzong it.
 
thanx for the advice! but basicly weezing is forgotten about so the only counter really used is gliscor. i never ever see weezing on ladder anyway.

that is the smogon standard and it works fine taking most hits. it didnt die 1v1 vs a gyrados so im not conserned. took 97 from a 3 or 4 dded dos and after whittleing it down koed. I have found that 120 sp atk (standard) starmie always has a chance to 2hko tar. even with 252 in hp and sp. def so im not going to bother. maybe put in stalker dos over togekiss? its the most random team member. keep suggestions coming!
 
hm yea
until i run into problems im keeping kiss. so far its like 7-1. but i lost to a breloom which conserns me.
