Hey everyone this team is themed around none other then you guessed it zelda. It is not the most successful team (due to it being a gimmick) but it gets the job done. Also you know how some people put a song with there team well i am too with a fan made version of my favorite zelda song from my favorite zelda game but enough fanboying lets meet the team.

hero of time (Lucario) @ Lucarionite
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat
- Ice Punch
The hero of time and the hero of this team. I can see why many people like m-luke and find him broken as i have been having great success with him. He is the hero because he resembles one the best in my opinion out of any pokemon and because he has saved my team from being swept from the forces of darkness more times then i care to admit. This is a standar m-uke set and even thugh i am walled by aeigslash significantly i have team mates that can deal with him plus i think being able to hit land-I/T/gliscor is worth it due to me being fairly weak to them snd he is also one of my two set up sweepers.

evils bane (Aegislash) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 172 HP / 84 Atk / 252 SAtk
Quiet Nature
- Flash Cannon
- Shadow Sneak
- Shadow Ball
- King's Shield
whats the hero of time with out his trust master sword and famous hylian shield. aeigslash is a great pokemon this meta and this is an original set i came up with. The point of this set is to get people think your that silly shadow ball shadow sneak swords dance set and then nail them hard with a special flash cannon. i still use shadow sneak because it is priority and with the extra evs i put in to attack can help clean some weak opponents. aeigslash is one of my main counters too fighting types and my best bet against fairy types.

wait in vain
still there's pain
where did i go wrong

Epona (Keldeo) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Secret Sword
- Icy Wind
- Hidden Power [Bug]
Of course the hero of time needs his trusty steed aka epona. Now Epona here is my favorite little horse (or at least ou viable horse) and can help blow apart huge holes in the opposing team. The little horse of courage here is part of what me and a few other people in Bw2 called the big three and she is the wall breaker of the team allowing for the other two to sweep or for her to sweep after they have blown walls in the team. i chose specs because keldeo is already very fast and specs hydro pump still hurts a lot. icy winds there for a useful ice move and lowers the speed for a team mate to come in with while hidden power bug is there for that bitch celebii.

monstrosity of power (Tyranitar) @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit
- Superpower

Now you may be wondering who this is though if you ever ever even heard of the core premises of zelda you should know it is none other then the leader of the geruto and bearer of the triforce of power gannon. Tyraniar is the second part of the big three with keldeo and is there most of the time to pursuit trap psychics and ghosts that cause this team trouble a long and that wall keldeo and the other member of the big three. the moves are standard for a banded t-tar with pursuit trapping and stonedge/crunch for stab. i also run super power for other t-tar and just other rock/steel types in general that i wouldnt hit hard enough anyways. Now for the final member of the big three.......

I am trapped here in the dark
all on my own
Evil has left its mark
must fight alone

zephos (Landorus) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Modest Nature
- Rock Polish
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Earth Power
Thats right if you played BW2 and didnt see this coming then i worry for you. Now most people who played zelda don't even remember who this well he is the guy who teaches you the requiem of wind in waker you know the song that lets you change the winds direction. Now on am more serious note Lando completes the big three and complements them well. It is also my other set up sweeper besides Luke and does a fine good job of doing it too. Furthermore he is the only member of the big three i have that isnt choices i guess you can say he is free to make is own decisions (that's awful) and will often along with Luke sweep late game after the keldeo+t-tar core has made its mark on the team. its a standard lando set from last gen and he along with aeigslash(with baloon) are my only too counter to ground and fighting attacks.

Life is full of regrets
my chances are gone
I just can not forget
help me move on

meow? (Persian) @ Silk Scarf
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Taunt
the question mark is right persian wtf? well anybody who knows me on showdown knows how i worship this thing like its god and this sets the reason why. (besides me being a cat meow) Persian doesnt fit the zelda theme but it does fit my username so i had to pu it on. any ways this set i love using because of the fact hat it unsuspectedly counter so many things in the meta due to persians blazing fast speed and taunt not much is setting up on me. Furthermore persian has knock off which helps by taking off many pokemons precious items and doing decent damage. u turn allows me to get out of there and gain free momentum on the switch and will a lot of the time let me pivot into one of my sweepers and finish a team off. Last but not least fake out combined with technician is amazing and lets me pick of many set up sweepers even some who resist it and do decent damage when i firt come in.

Heal my soul
make it whole
for iv'e lost my way

Thank you for reading this Rmt and please post suggestions that would also fit with the whole theme and pokemon that can represent zelda characters/bosses (i really want a majora one) also persian is irreplaceable as you should know its my baby and the god of all pokemon. This has been a RMT by smogons favorite cat meow meow everyone.

Hello there.

I'll be blunt. Persian is not contributing to your team at all. If you want a scout, use Mienshao. Hell, if you want the whole moveset at least use Ambipom. Persian is not OU material in any way. If you would agree to replace Persian, I would suggest you use Mienshao or Gliscor. I would suggest Mienshao, as that prevents the double Ice weakness with Landorus.

Mienshao @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Trait: Regenerator
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Hi Jump Kick
- Stone Edge
- U-Turn

There are two types of gimmicks. The first is to use a niche pokemon which can support your team in a VERY specific way (for example Skill Swap Cofagrigus to counter Magic Guard users). However, Persian is outclassed in almost every way by Ambipom and Mienshao. This may be harsh, but it's the truth. Good luck with your team, and let me know how it goes!

Yes while this may be true you are missing two vital points without my feline friend i no longer have an identity (though i have been thinking about switching him out) and where would mienshao or ambipom fit in with the zelda theme?
 
You said yourself that Persian doesn't fit the theme



So I really see no problem for switching it out. However, this is just my opinion, feel free to disregard it.
Thats only because persian is my special little baby and i love him. Pokephillia aside now im saying that if you want to replace a pokemon you must fit it with the zelda theme so if you can find any pokemon that can do something somewhat similar or would just fit the zelda theme better then tell me.
 
I'm locking it given how ridiculous the situation is.
I usually give a chance to gimmick/theme teams even if they're not competitive, because why not ?
But since you let no room for rating I can't see the point of this thing being open.
