Mono Special Anyone?

chaos 9

Well I was thinking about a team that is only one type and focuses on taking out the specific walls of that type. Then i thought why not mono special? Blissey is the only real wall so why not? without further blabering heres the team.

Typhlosion (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Eruption
- Earthquake
- Overheat
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Decimates leads. late game sweeps if there are not stealth rocks. It either lures in Blissey or kills stuff.

Jynx (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Forewarn
EVs: 252 HP/252 Spd/4 SDef
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Lovely Kiss
- Mean Look
- Perish Song
- Substitute
Slap fight! Blissey vs Jynx. Ding! Jynx wins every time. Kills bliss so that my team can sweep after one of my sp. atkers lures her in.

Magnezone @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Substitute
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Magnet Rise
This kills the steels that are problematic for sp. atkers as well. Basicly come in on a steel, set up and kill it.

A great scarf sweeper once blissey is gone. This thing decimates things. Also revenges chomp and other things.

Basicly kill bliss and sweep. revenge stuff instead of using walls.

RMT~
 
not bad at all, but think Focus Punch > EQ on typh, so if jynx is gone, u can kill bliss ( donot forget to not show focus punch to your opponent, and use it in 2nd blis switch)
 
rather than choicing togekiss why not make advantadge of serene grace and use t wave? explosion would make a good option on magnezone in case of any special walls with low def(particularyl blissey) Also, nice team.
 
The amount of Choice'd pokemons you have isn't good. Reduce that number by at least a half. That's easily solved anyway! Togekiss works best without Scarf and on your PZ, you want Nasty Plot on it anyway. The reason being is that it is your only chance of taking down Blissey.

Here are some sets you should consider to replace on your team:

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Nature: Modest
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 212 HP, 120 Def, 76 SpA
~ Air Slash
~ Roost
~ Thunderwave/Body Slam
~ Aura Sphere/Body Slam

With the current EV spread, you can take insane amount of attacks from both side of the spectrum, whether it be Super Effective or not. You can survive max attack Adamant Gyarados' Stone Edge even after switching into Stealth Rocks and Weavile will also have a hard time taking it down. Mamoswine isn't going to enjoy being up against Togekiss too. Thunderwave + Body Slam lets you paralyze everything but it makes you lose your coverage. The moveset depends on you.

Porygon-Z @ Life Orb
Nature: Timid
Ability: Adapatability
EVs: 4 HP, 252 SpA, 252 Spe
~ Nasty Plot
~ Hyper Beam
~ Tri Attack/Hidden Power: Fight/Ice Beam
~ Dark Pulse

Adaptability + LO + NP + Hyperbeam = Opponent's Blissey fainted.
Otherwise there is absolutely no way Blissey is going down. Dark Pulse is needed for coverage and to hit Ghost. The last slot is up to you. Do you want to hit Dragons harder, Tyranitar/Steel harder or everything else harder in general?

Good luck with such a gimmicky team.
 
actually its working well thank you. i might do that with kiss because i found it needs a bit more bulk. and pz is used for late game sweeping so maybe not np but ill test it. Jynx is actually a 99% counter to bliss. Thanx for the help and keep rating! about 10-2 on shoddy.
 
Okay, quick little rate, I'll elaborate later...

The biggest thing that bugs me with this team is that you only have one way to reliably take down Blissey: Jynx. PerishTraping is cool and all, but if your Jynx goes down, which is very likely, you're absolutely screwed against the pink egg. Also consider that nothing else on your team can safely switch into it, as most everything would be ruined by Twave (Gengar, Typhlosion, Porygon-Z).

This all comes from the fact that you're way too sweeper heavy; there are plenty of sweepers capable of beating Blissey that you neglect. The list includes Infernape, Blaziken, Slowking, Heatran, Houndoom, and Gardevoir. You also don't have many support options that would help out a lot, such as Celebi or even a Blissey of your own.

In short, don't rely so much on attacking, try some other means. Working with what you have now...

TYPHLOSION: You need power to kill Blissey, so I would change this to Infernape instead: Infernape has a higher base speed, almost the same base Sp. Atk, still gets powerful STAB fire attacks, gets Nasty Plot, can OHKO a Blissey with Focus Blast with a Life Orb and Nasty Plot, and won't really add any major weaknesses to your team if you use it over Typhlosion.

Also, Earthquake is not a special move.

JYNX: If it works, it works, but keep in mind switching it into a Thunderwave may be troublesome.

MAGNEZONE: What steels "that are problematic for Sp. Atkers" exactly are you trying to kill? Skarmory? Everything else can handle it. Metagross? It'll kill you with EQ before you Magnet Rise. Bronzong? I don't see it being a problem, as you could probably Perish Trap it or just set it on fire. Lucario? It'll kill you first. Heatran? It'll kill you first. Empoleon? Maybe, but that can probably be dealt with in more efficient ways.

All in all, I would drop this guy and go for some sort of wall. May I suggest...Blissey? Yes, Blissey; you currently don't have anything to take any special attacks nor status. Blissey could fix this problem right up and won't add any additional weaknesses. She won't be able to use Seismic Toss, but still gets access to things that will help, particularly Toxic, which will force out other Blisseys (particularly CM ones) and Aromatherapy, which will help your sweeper-heavy team. The standard special wall set should do it.

PORYGON-Z: While this pokemon is good, you should consider a Nasty Plot set for its power in taking down Blissey.

TOGEKISS: Doesn't really need a choice scarf, I would consider making it more defensively orientated. You can try the the set Junior mentioned, the NP set, or the Baton Pass set to help out the rest of your team.

GENGAR: This is fine, but have you considered using any of its support moves? Hypnosis is always a good choice, and Destiny Bond can take down a Blissey or other enemy with too many CMs under its belt quickly with some good prediction (although if you screw it up the first time, you'll get no second chance).

Two more things I'd like to mention: One, you have no physical walls and I can especially see Heracross giving you problems. You could add Weezing somewhere, but it could put you at three Psychic weaks with the addition of Infernape (I'd have to look over this some more to see where to put it). Second, you say that Blissey is the only real wall, but this is dangerous thinking. Remember there are other special walls such as Slowking, Snorlax, Cresselia, Tentacruel, Empoleon, and Regice, and they don't all go down the same way a Blissey would, so make sure you're prepared to take those guys down as well.
 
its not all special moves just all special atk oriented pokes. this team was actualy built around that typhlosion. thanx for the rates and l will test them.
 
If it's not all special moves, I'd highly suggest getting a Rapid Spinner or something, as you have a massive SR weak (did I mention Infernape would reduce your Rock weakness?). I don't know where, though, so you'll have to give me a minute to figure out what best is replaced.
 
Ok i like the team, just two or three things:

-I'd suggest you to use a Bold Zapdos over Porygon-z . The reasons are that you need a reliable counter to stuff like Garchomp, Heracross and Lucario, you can't solely be based on Revenge killing, especially if your opponents masses walls with lucario as his late game cleaner .
-Starmie imo over Magnezone since your team isn't really weak to steel . Specs Shadow balls rape Bronzong anywayz and Togekiss has Fireblast . Since your team is offensive you could just go with 3 moves + Spin instead of Recover . This remedies the slight Gyarados weakness aswell .
-Last but not least, i would prefer your Togekiss to be a bit more bulkier with Roost over Tri Attack for more variety with Leftovers . Scarf is mostly a coinflip and sicne with the changes that i recommended you you can't afford too many mispredictions on Bronzong .

This changes won't make your team any less offensive, instead it will create more variety to your team, aswell as give it a way to remove Stealth Rocks from the field and a change against scarftran .
