Meh Offensive Team.

People see me sometimes in shoddy, chatting about random stuff, getting flamed because of the random stuff I type and me, Bbaming myself to stop thinking about waffles.

I tested this team in Shoddy and got me some nice wins. I want to further improve this team due to the fact that I cannot find any way to improve this team aside from the fact that I suck at mindgames.(Not saying this is the best team, but every time I want to replace a poke, Nothing comes into mind.)

Finally, the Team: (No Sprites yet, But I will make it as neat as possible.)


The Lead:

Pinsir @ Choice Scarf
Mold Breaker/Adamant
252 atk/252 speed/ 6 hp

Close Combat
X-scissor
Stone Edge
Earthquake

WTF is this!? GO Heracross! OK, I have thought of a lead for quite some time to counter leads and still function great late game. 100 base defense is nothing to sniff at. I know that Close Combat and Earthquake has redundant coverage BUT...It hits Bronzong SE damage and how rare is that. Also my team status absorber once hypnosis hits.:P

Earthquake: Damage: 188 - 221 Damage: 55.62% - 65.38% to a Standard Relaxed Bronzong @ 252 hp/8 def.

I know it's not OHKO but it's not it's purpose. It's purpose is to severely weaken it for my other teammates to kill it. Also gives the WTF reaction to your opponents.And yes, I hate that blue bell so much that I gave it an exclusive pokemon slot to kill it (Well, maybe not kill it.)


Salamence @ Choice Specs
Intimidate/Modest
252 sp.atk/252 speed/6hp

Fire Blast
Hydro Pump
Draco Meteor
Dragon Pulse

Yes, The standard Specsmence. I claim it the BEST specs user In-game. why? a 210 move and two 120 moves to back it up off 110 base sp.atk. It also has nice resistances. And why no flamethrower? Answer: I switch often so I need the maximum amount of damage I can deal at any given instant. BUT WHAT IF IT MISSES? Well, that's life I guess, I play for fun not for rank. :P

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Intimidate/Adamant
252 atk/ 184 speed/ 72hp

Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Ice Fang
Water Fall

LOL n00b, Bulky Gyara owns. Yep, I use this Gyarados at late game where I would need only a DD to finish things off, where areas Bulkydos would need 2. And WTH no taunt?
Uh, why would anyone set-up late game?(except meh and revenge killers) and lastly gives me superior coverage from Return and Waterfall only. Speed EVs are given to outspeed base 115s like Starmie after a dance.


Heracross @ Choice Band
Guts/Jolly
6 hp/252 atk/252 speed

Close Combat
Megahorn
Pursuit
Stone Edge

WTH is this? A Pinsir and a Heracross in the same team? As I said earlier I needed to weaken my opponents team before I can sweep with my DDos. What more immediate threat is is a CBcross? Absolutely destroys my opponent's walls. With the advent of T-spikes I can 2HKO many walls.


Alakazam @ Choice Specs
Synchronize/Timid
6 hp/252 sp.atk/252 speed

Psychic
Shadow ball
Focus blast
Hp ice

Why another Choice user? Furthermore, why another Specs user? I though mence was the BEST specs user? This set is similar to Heracross in it's purpose: Weaken the opponents team and back-up late game sweeper. Who says 135 base Sp.atk and 120 base speed should be put back to BL? This is used for long-runs as Mence's job is to OHKO annoying walls like Zapdos and stuff, then switching back. This is used for mindless spamming of Psychic and all that resists it are KOed by it's other moves. Hp ice is for Yache Chomp which I find Quite annoying.


And Finally:

Metagross @ Leftovers/Life Orb
152 Hp/ 252 atk/ 104 Speed

Agility
Meteor Mash
Earthquake/Pursuit
Thunder Punch

The most unstable member of the team, rather the weakest link. This is the poke I have been trying to replace, but no luck. the only reason this stays is because I needed a deoxys-E counter and a Gyara counter. I have been using this as a switch in to almost any attack because of it's nice resistances due to most of my team are choice users.


Threat List:

Zapdos - annoying as hell, that's why most of my teammates have Stone Edge. Easily taken care of with draco meteor.

Deoxys-E - At late game, Metagross is my only hope.

Scarf Gengar and Scarf garchomp - Yes, I have issues with these, Planning to scarf my alakazam or sumthing...

If you could add some, that would be helpful.

Please Give Comments :P


 
You are really weak to pretty much every rock type, especially since Rock+Ground is a great combo, thus it is very common. Expect Rhyperior, Tyranitar, Relicanth(win) and other rocks to give you trouble. Your only rock resist is holding life orb and is a sweeper, so it shouldn't be taking such assaults. I suggest a bulky ground for this, Donphan will do and it helps with the next problem.

You have quite a few pokemon who don't appreciate Stealth Rock, and none of them except Metagross(who resists Stealth Rock) are immune to sandstream. This is going to make battling against the ever common SST team very annoying, and even typical balanced teams will rip you apart because Stealth Rock is THAT good. A Rapid Spinner would be nice here, and Donphan can take on those rock types too(except Relicanth, who just destroys everything anyways).
 
I run agilgross, its really a ncie pokemon. However, go the Shuca berry route trust me. Lefties seem nice but 9\10 the thing they come in to hit you with is an EQ, and if they do you can survive it alot of the time with a shucca berry and get off a free agility...kkthxbai lol. Also earthquake is essential and pursuit is pointless as mm does more anyways
 
honestly, you're going to get fucked by another agility metagross. let's say meteor mash, thunderpunch, earthquake @ life orb. pretty much a 6-0 sweep =[

what i'd like to do here is get rid of the alakazam. bronzong is nearly perfect here. he gets rid of that rock weakness someone mentioned, he helps out like crazy against deoxys-s like you said, and it makes switching into scarfchomps a little bit easier. not to mention stealth rock will help ruin opposing focus sashes. but as for bronzong helping out with metagross, you can run a set like: gyro ball hypnosis earthquake stealth rock, the standard, or maybe trying reflect over hypnosis or osmething.
