Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 80 HP/252 Atk/176 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Trick
- Stealth Rock
- Iron Head
- U-turn
Trick is my favorite cripple move as of now, it allows my to shut down various walls or sash leads. Stealth rock is for its usually reason, to wear down the opponent as much as possible. It will hopefully wear down a few things before my main sweepers take the stage
Iron head and U-turn were tough choices, but I chose them in case Rachi came up against a lead it couldn't handle, and if so, it would act like a sweeper/scouter with those moves.
Elemental punches are also an option here.
Flygon (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- U-turn
Flygon does 3 things for me on this team. Scout, Revenge Kill, and Late game sweep. While his main purpose is to scout things for predicted switches. He's also a good revenge killer, though I haven't made much use of that.
Gyrados (M) @ Leftovers/Chesto berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP/226 Def/32 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Rest
- Stone Edge
- Waterfall
Here is my favorite Pokemon on the team, this is an exceptionally bulky Gyrados that tanks hits like a monster. I was considering making him a crocune type of Gyra, but that didn't work out so well. He is sort of a replacement for my lack of a physical wall, but his main job is sweeping. I was also considering giving him a chesto berry in hopes of just DDing up and then proceeding to sweep, though I'm not sure how well it would work, I've never tried it.
Lum Berry is also an option for this set.
Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def/40 SAtk/216 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- S-toss
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Softboiled
Blissey is here to do what she does best: Stall the crap out of special sweepers. I'm sure you all know that she's a good special wall and everything, so I'll cut to the chase.
S-toss was originally a replacement for Aromatherapy, I found it to be far more useful.
Ice Beam is for coverage against Mence and Flygon and any 4x weak to Ice Pokemon
Toxic is there to help out Gyarados. This will allow him to get more DD's up if I switch him in on a Poke that Blissey just poisoned, since they will most likely switch. It also allows for Blissey to stall easier herself
Softboiled is for healing.
Gengar (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]
I needed a good special force on this team, as I'm seriously lacking. I also noticed that I'm really lacking in fire type coverage, so hidden power fire was chosen here. I'm a bit unsure about Gar, this is the Poke I'd readily replace on this team.
But he does the job well, so I shouldn't complain too much
Scizor (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
EVs: 176 HP/156 Atk/176 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Brick Break
- Roost
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
This is my backup. Another bulky sweeper in the form of Scizor. His only real purpose is to take the stage if Gyara falls, and he does his job well. This Scizor takes hits from both ends decently and packs a punch. Like I said though, he's mainly the backup.
Note: The EV's here are not really custom, they're just the "It's a trap" set EV's with the speed taken out to provide attack. This Scizor has done pretty well, but I'll gladly put the speed EV's back if given a good case or something, because the set didn't really explain what they were doing there.
Other Note: If anyone has a better bulky Scizor spread I'll gladly take it, this one was thrown together hastily because I'd forgotten the EV's given to me by a friend.
I've posted this on one other forum before, and I've gotten two main things:
Agiligross weak
Blissey can be replaced with Latias
To fix the agiligross problem, I was suggested to use Rotom-H with an offensive spread, I'm not sure on this though, I would lose a lot of speed.
