I just got a Blizzard from Dairy Queen! =P

.:Introduction:.


Yeah. I just made some Pizza with my Pizza Pizazz, and it is good. Sausage. Good stuff. Too bad I can't send it in E-Mails. =P WiFi is being a *****. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to stick to Shoddy Battle for now. I decided to make it purely out of Pokemon I already have (besides the Gliscor. I have one, but mine's a piece of ****) so that I don't have to start EV training a team I won't finish.


PokeshoUxie.gif


Uxie @ Leftovers
Bold - 252 Defense / 252 HP
+Levitate+
~Yawn
~U-Turn
~Psychic
~Thunderbolt


Yeah, that's right, a lead Uxie, not Azelf. Yawn + U-Turn is awesome. First I of course Yawn. Then I U-Turn. If they switch to avoid sleep, I U-Turn after, and send in my counter to their Pokemon. If they don't switch, I send in Lucario to set up its Swords Dance and potentially sweep their team. Psychic for the Mixape he takes care of, and Thunderbolt for the lead Gyaras.


PokeshoGallade.gif


Gallade @ Choice Scarf
Adamant - 252 Attack / 252 Speed
+Steadfast+
~Night Slash
~Leaf Blade
~Close Combat
~Psycho Cut / Destiny Bond


Ah, Choice Scarf Gallade. I think that this would work especially well with my Uxie, in the case that they switch. I can bring this guy in, and he can unsuspectingly outspeed their Pokemon with a murderous Close Combat. Leaf Blade hits Pokemon such as Swampert and Milotic especially hard. Night Slash can catch Starmie and Gengar off-guard. Psycho Cut can hit Weezing and Infernape, plus it gets STAB, but Destiny Bond seems nice too, in a situation where I'm about to be KO'd, I can outspeed and take them with me.


PokeshoLucario.gif


Lucario @ Life Orb
Hasty - 252 Attack / 252 Speed
+Inner Focus+
~Close Combat
~Crunch
~Swords Dance
~Extremespeed


That ever-popular extreme killer, Lucario. This is the one that pairs well with Uxie if the opponent does not switch. Swords Dance to set up, then sweep from there. The things that give it trouble are few, but the ones that do can punish it pretty hard (pretty much Gengar with Focus Blast. I don't know what Mismagius can do outside of Thunderbolt, though with my Sp. Defense lowered through CC may be enough).


PokeshoGliscor.gif


Gliscor @ Leftovers
Impish - 252 Defense / 252 HP
+Sand Veil+
~Roost
~Earthquake
~Aerial Ace
~Stealth Rock


My Physical Wall. Though it was mainly put in to stop the likes of Heracross and SD Luke, it can take care of other physical threats as well. Stealth Rock is always helpful, especially to my Lucario. I put in Sand Veil over Hyper Cutter since Gliscor isn't much of an attacker, and he'd like taking advantage of the sand if my opponent decides to take advantage of it.


PokeshoPorygon-Z.gif


Porygon-Z @ Life Orb / Lum Berry
Timid - 252 Sp. Attack / 252 Speed
+Adaptability+
~Nasty Plot
~Tri-Attack
~Thunderbolt
~Ice Beam


This team needed some BoltBeam going on, so I went P-Z. Should I go Nasty Plot and Adaptability or Agility and Download? I'm leaning towards Adaptability and Nasty Plot. Double STAB on Tri-Attack with this much Sp. Attack? Yes, please. I also heard that it can combat Bliss (O_o) if it has NP? If so I think that a Lum Berry would help a bit more than the Life Orb....or maybe it needs that same Life Orb to take on Bliss. But this is just what I've heard, there's no proof that it's true.


PokeshoMilotic.gif


Milotic @ Leftovers
Quiet - 252 HP / 252 Defense
+Marvel Scale+
~Surf
~Ice Beam
~Rest
~Sleep Talk


Ah, RestTalk Milotic. I got swept by one of these before. I like the fact that it is a status absorber, I needed one of those. It also pairs well with Gliscor, they cover each other's weaknesses almost perfectly (Gliscor is neutral to Grass), and they wall on opposite sides of the spectrum. This thing is really sturdy. The only thing I really fear is a Blissey or another Milotic (or a Vaporeon), in which case I could just switch to Gallade anyways.



My team's weaknesses and resistances:

.:Closing:.

Yes, I know, it is long and maybe boring for some of you. But I *tried* spicing it up with humor and color. I work very hard on these RMTs, so I expect you working hard on your replies. You should try using correct grammar and spelling...it really annoys me when people use letters for words. It just bugs me. Also, none of this, "your team is ____ weak", as that is just as lazy as using letters for words. Tell me why I have this problem and how to fix it. Also include what I'll lose and benefit from in the suggested change. This makes it easier for me to consider suggestions. I also apologize if any of the font colors are hard to read. If they are, please tell me, and I'll fix it ASAP.

Truly, thank you.
 
First off, the sprites are awesome!
But I'm sure you didn't post all this just to advertise for Pokesho, so...
I see two Pokemon that look like they give this trouble: 1) Gengar; 2) Infernape. Gallade should take care of both anyway, but otherwise if that's down good luck. However, I'd remove Leaf Blade or Night Slash so that you can fit in both Psycho Cut and Destiny Bond.
Why Hasty on Lucario?
Otherwise it looks fairly solid. Good luck!
 
im not really in the mood for rating right now so ill just give a little. i see kinda a big scarf gengar weakness. you could put bullet punch on lucario over crunch and switch glallade for scarf hera to cover your new cress weakness.

I thought Uxie could take care of Infernape...? I was battling one yesterday (stupid WiFi disconnected us >_<) and it only took like 30 or so HP damage from CC, and Grass Knot was just as useless. The best it could muster was Flamethrower, and that did maybe 1/4. By then, it could have KO'd with Psychic. And Destiny Bond > Leaf Blade is what I'll probably do. Leaf Blade only came in handy once in the aforementioned battle, and it barely did half to a Milotic.

Gengar...might be a problem. I suppose, like you said, that Gallade could probably take care of it (if it itself is scarfed), but I definitely need to take taking on Gengar to the top of my list...But I'll probably:

Put Bullet Punch on Lucario...sounds good. Could probably take Gengar much better then. And to answer the "Why Hasty on Lucario" question, I was breeding for a Lucario, right? It wasn't originally going to be a SD + Extremespeed Lucario. But it turned into one, and Hasty was still there. But I suppose that if I re-breed for Bullet Punch, I could hit two birds with one stone and get an Adamant nature at the same time. Or maybe Bullet Punch > Extremespeed?

Hmm...switching Gallade to ScarfCross...I don't know. One reason for a ScarfLade was for the element of surprise, and a ScarfCross can be very obvious. I suppose it is effective, though...But if I go Bullet Punch over Extrmespeed on Luke, then I could keep Gallade, since I'd have Crunch on Luke still....


Thoughts on this? >_< I really like Gallade, and I'm not a huge fan of Heracross (bad memories....plus Gallade helps my resistances and stuff). Thanks so much to you both for the suggestions. :]
 
You have a relatively large Gengar weakness. TyraniBoah also gives you large problems, especially the newer Crunch/Ice Beam/Sub/FP varient, though Milotic can handle it fairly well.

Basically, any special sweeper can give you lots of trouble, considering your primary Special Wall has all of it's EV's in defense. The outdated SpecsMence can give you lots of trouble. I think one of the sweepers has to go for a more reliable counter to special threats. Blissey is the easiest remedy to this problem of course. Gallade seems out of place with SDLuke on the team. Probably replace that with Blissey, using a spread of 252 Def/236 Sp.Def/24 HP and a Calm nature.

A minor suggestion is to replace Aerial Ace on Gliscor with Ice Fang for better Dragon coverage. Besides, Heracross/SDLucario would be crazy to stay in on Gliscor.

Also posting to say that you are forgetting 4 EV's for every pokemon. Add those to the appropriate stat for an extra stat point (4 Sp.Att for Uxie, 4 HP for Lucario, 4 Att for Gliscor, 4 Sp.Att for Milotic).
