Okay so without any more delay here is my team:
THE LEAD
Roserad@FocusSash
Nature: Timid
Abilitie: NaturalCure
EVs: 4 HP/252 Sped/252 SpAt
Moveset:
- SleepPowder
- ToxicSpikes
- LeafStorm
- HiddenPower (Fire)
The first member of my team, its the standart SleepPowder Roserade. Its main role is to put something to sleep, setup ToxicSpikes and from there attack. I can use it as setup fodder if i encounter a threat i cant handle well if its still with some HP. Roserade can put to sleep almost any lead except for a few: LumBerry Machamp, LumBerry Metagross, Azelf and Aero.
- Machamp: I usually LeafStorm and switch back to Rotom.
- Metagross: Mostly ill switch to Rotom to use Overheat or ShadowBall.
- Azelf: This is always a gamble, it eithers Taunts or sets rocks in the first turn; so i need to try and overpredict to decide which move i should use.
- Aerodactyl: I always LeafStorm but sometimes they end setting rocks first turn so its also about luck as with Azelf.
RevengeKiller
Flygon@ChoiceScarf
Nature: Jolly
Abilitie: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Sped
Moveset:
- Outrage
- U-Turn
- EarthQuake
- StoneEdge
My revenge killer, it gets rid of Pokemon that otherwise could cause problems to my Jirachi, see Infernape, Heatran, Mence, etc. Outrage and EQ for a solid STAB and U-Turn to scout. StoneEdge is there to kill weakened Gyaras and Mences and not get locked in Outrage. He mainly comes in Ground or Electric type attacks if i predict them or seem too obvius. The depending on the situation i either U-Turn or use a super effective move. It is my main counter against Salamences which i always end up revenge killing.
The Uhmm..
Gyarados@ChoiceBand
Nature: Adamant
Abilitie: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Sped
Moveset:
- Waterfall
- Bounce
-EarthQuake
- IceFang
First it was a bulky DD set but after some time i couldnt find time to set up due to Suicunes walling me. So i decided to give it instant power in the form of ChoiceBand. Even with this improvement its still one of the weakest members from my team. It enters in a Ground or Fighting move and then i decide what attck to use. Waterfall eliminates those Pokemon that are weak to it and dents the others. Bounce is there if i predict a change to a bulky Water but it gets phazed easily by Vaporeon (Wish+Protect set). EarthQuake to eliminate Water types and Pokemon weak to it. Finally IceFang is for those Grass and Dragon types.
Anti-Spinner
Rotom-H@Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Abilitie: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/168 Def/88 Sped
Moveset:
- Will-O-Wisp
- OverHeat
- ShadowBall
- ThunderBolt
This guy assures me my Spikes arent blown away. Its also my Luke counter. If you have a better set or a better spinner tell me please, its just that these guys die very quickly. Its weak to Gengars but my Porygon can take care of it, if FocusBlast misses. Rotom takes care of Lucarios, spinners that try to blow away my TSpikes and can eliminate other Ghosts. Will-O-Wisp is for crippling physical attackers, Overheat helps me against Steel types, Thunderbolt is a reliable STAB and can take out Water types and Gyarados. Finally ShadowBall is another STAB move and eliminates Psychics and Ghosts. Im thinking of making him a Scarf user but i would need to change Gyarados to a bulky DD set. I would get rid of OverHeat seeing how i can cripple Steels with W-o-W.
TheNiche
Porygon2@Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Abilitie: Trace
EVs: 252 HP/216 Def/40 SpAtk
Moveset:
- ThunderBolt
- IceBeam
- ThunderWave
- Recover
This guy here keeps me safe from Heatrans, Mences and Gyaras who would otherwise run free through my team. Again if you can suggest me a better wall or even a special wall i will see if it fits. I dont know how many times this guy has helped me achieve a win. Im thinking of changing ThunderBolt for Discharge and T-Wave for MagicCoat. Porygon stops Scarf or Specs Heatran, DD Gyarados and DD Salamences. Mixed Mences can be a problem for my team because DracoMeteor kills my Pory. The reason of why i want to change T-Wave for MagicCoat is because Porygon always seems to be the target of status and he can bounce them back for a nasty surprise, but tell me if this is a good or bad idea.
TheSweeper
Jirachi@Leftovers
Nature: Timid
Abilitie: SereneGrace
EVs: 252 HP/176 Sped/80 SpAtk
Moveset:
- Substitute
- CalmMind
- ThunderBolt
- FlashCannon
This is my main sweeper. I sometimes have a hard time setting up because my team is weak to Heatran and special sweepers. But when it set ups even stall teams get decimate factoring ToxicSpikes. He can come in several special attackers and even physical attackers, bar Heatran and Mences, and start CalmMinding or Subbing. Blisseys are also setup fodder and this set even laughs at AgiliPetaya Empoleon because almost all the time he lets me set up on their face. I first need to get rid of phazers such as Swampert and Skarmory because they can end my fun almost all the time, mainly Swampert. I can also take out Gyarados because they think im a Scarf version and i take them out with T-Bolt. FlashCannon is for STAB and for Tyranitars but Psychic could also help against Perts and others that resist Steel attacks.
