Hio! ....I've got no fancy name -_-

[DemonOfSand]

ok, I need you guys to rate my SS team for a 6v6 Double Battle Tournament. The rules are that you have to have 6 pokemon and only ONE Uber is allowed.

Please help :)


Ok, on to the gang:

Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Impish, Sand Stream
252 HP, 169 Def, 88 Spe
- Earthquake/Ice Fang
- Roar
- Slack Off
- Stealth Rock

This is basically my leading pokemon and physical wall. Once he's out, SR then Roar to cause a little trouble. Slack Off to get back any lost health. I'm not sure whether to go with EQ or Ice Fang for his attack move, or maybe I should use a different move/set all together?

I'm debating whether to move those 88 Spe EVs to Def or Sp.Def.

Garchomp @ Yache Berry
Jolly, Sand Veil
4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe
- Swords Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang or Stone Edge?

Heavy hitter and can take advantage of Hippowdon and Tyranitar's SS. Sand Veil should help it out and let it survive for a while. Swords Dance up and sweep. Yache Berry to reduce any Ice attacks.

Tyranitar @ Babiri Berry
Adamant, Sand Stream
4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Fire Punch

The team powerhouse. After a couple of DD's, he should be able to take out most threats. Fire Punch will help take out most of the Ice and Grass types out there trying to take him down. hopefully no one pulls a Weavile out until after he sets up. If Scizor is out with Tar, he should be able to help him clean up a bit.

Scizor @ Choice Band
Adamant, Technician
248 HP, 252 Att, 8 Spe
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Super Power
- Quick Attack/ Pursuit

My Revenge Killer. Bullet Punch to pick off weakened foes and will be able to take out most due to SR and SS support. Superpower will let me take out a few switch-ins, Heatran for instance and possible deal a great amount of damage to Blissey then Pursuit on her way out. U-turn and Pursuit will get the boost from Technician and Pursuit should be able to take out Gengar with a OHKO.

I think I should go with Life Orb>CB so he can be more flexible.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Sand Veil Ability, Impish Nature
252 HP / 40 Def / 216 Spe
-Earthquake
-Roost
-Stone Edge
-Knock Off

Gliscor description: According to Sheshi, this should help me with my Lucario problem. Knock Off to well, knock off any items that my oppoent might have(Choice Band, Leftovers, etc.). If he takes too much damage, I'll Roost it off.

Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Naive, Flash Fire
4 Atk,252 SpA,252 Spe
- Flamethrower
- Earth Power
- Explosion
- Dragon Pulse

Choice Scarfed Heatran. I've tested him twice with this team. First test wasn't so good, but second worked. His Flamethrower came in handy when my Gliscor was asleep and all other teammates fainted. Dragon Pulse and Earth Power for coverage. Explosion as a last resort.




*Sigh* Now this is where I hit a dead end. I'm not sure what other pokemon would work well with this team. I know the team doesn't have to be comprised of just Steel/Rock/Ground types, but what could go in? Who should be swapped out?

Changes will be Bolded.

Edit: Replaced Magnezone with Gliscor and Flygon with Garchomp.
Edit: Scarfed Heatran has replaced Togekiss.

Hello

You might want to try out Expert Belt on Flygon. This might make people believe you actually Scarfed (or Banded).

If ONE uber is allowed that Garchomp makes a good choice. Since they have the same typing, I would put Garchomp over Flygon.

Garchomp @ leftovers/ jolly/ sand veil
252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

- Substitute
- Sword Dance
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw

--> Sand Veil allows Garchomp to avoid a lot of hits. So Substitute will be an easy set up. When the Sub is up you can use Sword Dance to boost your Atk. From their you can either attack with Earthquake or Dragon Claw (prefered over Outrage so you're not stuck on it). Leftovers lets you recover from Substitute damage so you can Sub more. Bright Powder is an option here too as it raises Garchomp's evasiveness by 20% (instead of 10%)

Hope this helped!

 

[Sheshi]

Okay. Then I suggest that you use Gliscor over either Magnezone or Togekiss. This way you can abuse Sand Veil and gives you a way to knock off Lucario, who would otherwise prove to be a pain in the ass.
Gliscor @ Leftovers
Sand Veil Ability, Impish Nature
252 HP / 40 Def / 216 Spe
-Earthquake
-Roost
-Stone Edge
-Knock Off

Actually, I just saw that one uber is allowed. If this is the case, then I suggest using Garchomp over Flygon. A standard YacheSDChomp ought to do.

 

[DemonOfSand]

I was thinking of using a Garchomp, but wasn't sure another Uber would be better. Ok, Chomp over Gon and Gliscor over Magnezone, since I'll be able to abuse EQ without haveing to wait for Zone to set up.

Thanks for the suggestions :)

 

[DemonOfSand]

Ok, I've tested this team twice and found that I seem to have a bit of a Skarmory and Salamence problem. Any suggestions on ways to counter this? This is for double battles by the way.

 

[Aether Nexus]

First off, this really shouldn't be in this section. You're playing with an Uber so that classes this entire team under Uber, so technically this RMT should be in here.

Other than that, just a few nitpicks:

Ice Fang over Earthquake (I know, some people are like, "what?!" but most of your Pokemon have EQ and you really have no good reliable check to Dragons or anything else weak to Ice-type attacks).

Pursuit over Quick Attack on Scizor (you have STAB Technician Bullet Punch -- Pokemon who resist Steel-type will still take more damage even if you hit them with Quick Attack, so definitely Pursuit over Quick Attack).

Fire Blast over Flamethrower on ScarfTran (but it seems you fear missing due to Fire Blasts accuracy; only reason you'd ever put a weaker move, that or if you're stalling with a Pokemon somehow or just want the extra PP/better accuracy).

Best of luck.
