I'm Trying to get Deoxys-S Banned from OU Again (RMT)

[MythTrainerInfinity]

Ganon (Metagross) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 108 HP/196 Atk/204 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Explosion

ScarfGross makes a nasty surprise for anyone unprepared for it. Its kinda like Agilegross, but without setup. Enough speed to outrun Jolly Dugtrios.

Makes a great counter to those LO Lucarios that think that they can SD on anything else.

Mudkip Final Boss Form (Swampert) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/56 Def/104 SAtk/96 SDef
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Surf

HP Electric? Why yes. Whenever Gyarados rears its ugly head I'd be happy to send it back to the high seas plus BoltBeam is amazing when it gets a couple Nasty Plots passed to it. It surprises Dusknoirs and other things that try to burn it. EQ is for standard Ttar coverage 'n such.

Also its fun to be able to use this when those annoying Blisseys out there fire off T-Waves every which way. Of course with Torrent activated... This is pretty nightmarish to fight.

Before you suggest that I put Stealth Rock on this thing I won't. I see SR as too cheap of a move, so don't waste your breath.

Hi! I'm Uber! (Deoxys-e) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 124 HP/152 Spd/232 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Taunt
- Psychic

Best BP recipient in the game, folks.

Even with one Nasty Plot given to it... This thing is brutal. This outruns (lol) Max Speed Neutral Nature Electivire with a Choice Scarf. Hey it was only a few more speed points to do that since Jolly Cross would ruin my fun.

Kiss of Death (Togekiss) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 228 HP/188 Def/92 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Roost
- Nasty Plot
- Baton Pass

My bulky favoring Def EV spread. I don't want Speed EVs because if its too fast to get T-Waved by something and I BP to Deoxys-S... well there goes its speed. Plus making this thing live as long as possible is nice.

Most even sweepers cannot OHKO Togekiss without some sort of boost, so if you're smart you can easily get at least one NP to pass.

Loudmouth (Zapdos) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 192 HP/148 Spd/168 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Roost
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Roar

My typical HP Ice set (14 IV in Attack for legal BP 70 HP Ice). This thing can tear through teams after getting a couple Nasty Plots as well.

Egg of Doom (Blissey) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Seismic Toss
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled
- Toxic

Blah, blah status generic cleric.

My thoughts:
I'm a man if a few words... so...

Overall this team's weaknesses... hmmm... I do have a bit of trouble with Celebi if Metagross and Togekiss die, so I might switch Deoxys-S' HP to Bug if I really need to. Weavile and Infernape can be annoying at times...

This team is really fun, expect people to feel really helpless vs. Deoxys-S if you use it in this style.

So, if I understand you correctly, you are going to Nasty Plot BP to Deoxys who's only STAB move is one that lowers it's special attack 2 stages? Might want to reexamine that though. Change Psycho Boost to Psychic otherwise BPing it Nasty Plots is wasted.

 

[Stathakis]

not much to say, it's a pretty cool team. about your problems, well, as far as weavile, you may as well just bump up scarfgross's speed a tiny bit and he's a pretty reliable switch. switching zapdos to a slightly more special defenisve calm set could easily remedy your mixape problems as well, and gives you a decent switch to gengar should something happen to blissey. actually, now that I think about it, why not just go roost/stalk zapdos and absorb sleep as well? that allows blissey to actually do something to subgars as well if you don't care about random burns and whatnot. as for celebi, zapdos can semi-deal with it and blissey can force it out with toxic until damage racks up. but of course with deo-s, metagross blowing up and whatnot, and togekiss, I wouldn't really worry too much about celery.

edit: I missed psycho boost, but psychic is prolly a better idea.

Hi! I'm Uber! (Deoxys-e) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 124 HP/156 Spd/228 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Psycho Boost
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam

Best BP recipient in the game, folks. Only things PsyFight doesn't hit something at least neutral is Spiritomb, Sableye, and Shedinja.

Um, actually, Psychic + Fighting is resisted by nearly all (or many anyway) Psychic pokemon, just so you know. Of course boltbeam can hit the other psychics for neutral, but just not a whole lot of damage.

Thanks for reviewing this team, guys!

Bah my bad, anyways I changed around some things with Deoxys (gave it Psychic and Shadow Ball) and it seems to be working alright for me (haven't had too many Celebi problems now).

This team has gotten me to within the top 25 already on the ladder (I go by Infinity on Smogon's server). I've never gotten so many 6-0s with any other team in a short period of time, really. Deoxys-S getting Nasty Plots passed to it is just so brutal...

Edit: Replaced Shadow Ball with Taunt, this allows Togekiss to set up a little better.
