Hello all, The Grim Garchomp here, and I'm back after a month to do ANOTHER RMT consisting of my new Mega Gallade team!! When I first saw the ORAS megas, i was kind of interested, but not interested enough to make a team out of it. But one day, I was laddering with my earlier RMT team when Mega Gallade came by and ate me for lunch. Seeing it's prowess, a newfound interest came about and I made the team we have now. Without further ado, Levi "Beyblade" Ackerman and his team!! (Yes, I'm an Attack on Titan fan, you got a problem?)
Jester (Gengar) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Taunt
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Sludge Wave
To start off with this RMT, we have my taunter, spinblocker, revenge killer and special sweeper Jester the Gengar!! To guarantee the OHKOs from Levi, I needed to keep my hazards on the field for the residual damage. Yes, I know you might say how Defog is more common and it isnt blocked by Jester, let me tell you Jester blocks Defog as well through Taunt, while screwing over the common Chansey switch that counters Gengar. I gave Gengar a Life Orb and SpAtk and Speed EVs to be as fast as possible, to outspeed any possible defoggers to Taunt and deal tons of damage revenge killing. The moveset is pretty simple, with Taunt already explained, Shadow Ball for STAB and dealing with Defog HP Fire Latios (Latios with HP Fire has only 349 speed, while Jester has 350), Focus Blast to destroy all normal/dark/steel types thinking they can take the Shadow Ball, and Sludge Wave for fairy killing and another Super STAB smashing. As the Jester of the king (in this case, the king is Levi), this bad boy paves the path for Levi to wreck havoc on his enemies.
Juggernaut (Bisharp) @ Life Orb
Ability: Defiant
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Knock Off
- Sucker Punch
- Iron Head
- Pursuit
Replacing Santa the Scizor is my physical sweeper, new fairykiller and complete badass, it's Juggernaut the Bisharp!! As the team's knight is shining armor, Juggernaut was destined to be the destroyer of worlds. The Life Orb gives Bisharp the extra oomph in it's attacks, leaving holes in someone's team with no effort. Bisharp also eliminates the Landorus-T threat, with Defiant boosting it's attack to crazy heights, since a +1 Sucker Punch kills the cat of concrete after Stealth Rocks damage. The nature and EVs boost Juggernaut's attack EVEN HIGHER to crazy levels, almost on par with Levi's monstrous 427 attack. The moveset may be pretty simple and predictable, but even resisting the attacks from this bad boy smashes a chunk of your HP to oblivion. Knock Off screws around with all scarfers and Eviolites thinking they can take a hit. Sucker Punch destroys you before you can blink. Iron Head blows up all fairies that come and try to take it's dark attacks. And finally, Pursuit traps all weakened pokemon, thinking they could run away. In short, Juggernaut is the irresistable force to this team, destroying all foes, and taking no prisoners. Watch your back...
AimBot (Rotom-Wash) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
As the second part of my VoltTurn, my physical wall, and my Talonflame/Landorus-T killer, it's everyone's favorite washing machine of death, AimBot the Rotom-Wash!! To pair up with Santa, I needed a slow Volt Switch user that could take a few hits and have a reliable recovery move that didnt cripple me, like Rest. Seeing the criteria needed, AimBot was a perfect choice. With Lefties and Pain Split, AimBot could recover tons of HP in a turn, if played right. It also allows me to stall bulky physical sweepers better, which would be a serious problem to my team. The nature and EVs allow me to deal with strong flying types like Talonflame and Mega Pinsir easier, and the 44 speed EVs outspeed Jolly Max Speed Azumarill for the Volt Switch/Will-o-Wisp. The moveset is pretty simple, with Hydro Pump as STAB, Volt Switch for the VoltTurn momentum, Will-o-Wisp to screw with physical sweepers, especially Dragon Dancers like Mega Gyarados, and Pain Split for the recovery. As the best partner for Scizor out in the OU metagame, AimBot is the squire of Santa, helping him whenever he can in any way possible.
Kraken (Garchomp) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
Looking at my team, I saw that I needed a hazard setter and lead that was not a steel type, since Magnezone, the destroyer of worlds, was turning out to be a threat to my team, so I also needed a nice Magnezone counter. And the pokemon that filled up the criteria was none other than the one and only Kraken the Garchomp!! With speed fast enough to outspeed the base 100s, which is most of the tier, Kraken is one of the best leads I have seen, with power to sweep if given the chance. The Lum Berry is to play around with pokemon like Sableye to net the KO with 2 Sword Dances bypassing the attack drop from the Will-o-Wisp. If I am not wrong, burns drop your attack 2 times, so 2 SDs bypass it pretty well. Stealth Rock is the hazard for this team, and EQ and DClaw are for STAB. To summarize, Kraken is the scout of this team, scouting potential threats Levi might not predict, and setting traps for the enemy to sweep.
Tesla (Zapdos) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 68 SpA / 168 SpD / 20 Spe
Calm Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Roost
- Defog
- Heat Wave
Needing a defogger that wouldnt give me a Gengar or fairy weakness made me throw the Lati twins out the window since they wouldnt fill up the criteria needed to fit in my team. However, one pokemon did it right. Enter the legendary bird of thunder, Tesla. I know the normal set is the physically defensive set, but I needed some special bulk on this bad boy to wall both sides of the attack, with AimBot up there taking all the physical hits. Leftovers was an obvious choice for an item to tank even better and for longevity, while Roost compliments the item with it healing Tesla halfway. The EVs may seem weird, but they are needed, with just enough SpAtk EVs to guarantee the OHKO on Mega Pinsir, HP EVs to get the maximum Lefties recovery (6%) and enough speed EVs to outspeed the base 60s like Magnezone. The nature and remaining 168 EVs are dumped into the special side as much as possible to tank the special hits my team could have trouble with. The moveset is self-explanatory, with Thunderbolt for STAB and to destroy Mega Pinsir, or normal Gyarados (the RestTalk version), Roost for recovery to keep my defogger, Defog to sweep away any hazards that could sabotage my VoltTurn, and Heat Wave as my coverage move to destroy all steel types thinking they could tank a Thunderbolt and get away with it (especially Mega Scizor and Magnezone). In a way, Tesla is the team's castle, taking hits and dealing damage right back, while protecting the remaining members from attacks that could possibly finish them in an instant.
Levi (Gallade) @ Galladite
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Drain Punch
- Zen Headbutt
- Knock Off
I guess we cant hold off this guy for long. As the king and leader of this team, my physical setup sweeper and win condition Levi "Beyblade" Ackerman the Gallade!! Also, a shout-out to Albacore for suggesting this mega indirectly through his wallpaper XD. This guy is a total beast(just like in the AOT anime!!).350 speed and a whopping 427 attack makes Levi one of the strongest megas in the pokemon world. And the 427 attack is WITHOUT the adamant nature. The EVs and nature give Levi the maximum speed he can have and tons of attack to spare, enough to slay Titans. The moveset is pretty simple, with Swords Dance giving Levi steroids, boosting his crazy high attack EVEN MORE (it will go OVER 9000!!!) and Drain Punch healing Levi to either tank a hit better or keep him alive. Zen Headbutt was chosen over Psycho Cut for the extra power and the nice flinch chance, in case I meet a situation where I actually DONT OHKO (once in a blue moon :P), and Knock Off for some coverage and scarfer's bane, destroying the ghost types that THINK they can punk me when they think I will pull out a Drain Punch.
And there's the team!! Now to cover the threats I had encountered while laddering!
Right now that was usually the only thing that could have put holes in my team when I was laddering, and I will edit my threatlist once I find more threats on the ladder. Until next RMT, this is The Grim Garchomp, signing off.
