MY 1ST RMT!!!!
hello all and welcome to my attempt at a rmt. Id like to start off by saying ive been lurking on this forum for a couple months and that im not big on posting, with that being said sorry if my images are to big, to small or just kinda weird. by the beginning of december i started playing on shodown and by about mid December i put what could possibly be the best team ive ever assembled...this is that team RIP :nerd:
TEAM BUILDING PROCESS
rain is arguably the most dominant weather in this meta game, the loss of tornadus T wasn't a huge loss and didnt take to much away from the meta that is rain. I knew i wanted a rain team and in order to successfully do that you need a...any one?...thats correct! a rain inducer and who better than a long time virtual buddy of mine POLITOAD!
next up was who can work in tandem with the toad to give me a better chance (in rain) to win me the game, thats when it came to me GREEN IS MEAN!...but seriously ferro is one of my favorite steel types and hey what can i say it worked
THE TEAM!
POLITOAD @CHOICE SPECS
NATURE=BOLD
DRIZZLE
252 HP / 252 DEF / 4 SPD
-PERISH SONG
-SURF
-ICE BEAM
-HP ELEC
bulky toad because im not the best with ev spreads, sets up the rain although many people ive played with have asked me why even have toad on the team and that it could possibly work well if not better with out my little buddy here...PHOOY I SAY! stab surf on a specs toad in rain can 2HKO almost anything that doesn't resist it. surf over hydro pump because ive missed to many times with the pump and surf is just a little stronger then scald although ive been back and forth between the 2. perish song is something gimmicky that ive been testing out and works alright with pursuit plus its decent for stall breaking
BRELOOM @FIGHTING GEM
NATURE=ADAMANT
252 ATK / 252 SPD / 4 DEF
TECHNICIAN
-SPORE
-MACH PUNCH
-SWORDS DANCE
-BULLET SEED
techniloom is by far my favorite of the looms, sub punch loom isnt with out its charm but mach punch/bullet seed with technician TOO charming...its like the Denzel Washington of the pokemon world. fighting gem is so that first mach punch hits HARD BODY! spore followed by a swords dance can be dangerous. bullet seed can break through subs and gets a boost with technician. the ev spread/ nature is like that because like i said im not the best with evs and i figure adamant over jolly because im shooting for a priority move most of the time so speed wouldnt really matter right?
WEAVILE @CHOICE BAND
NATURE=JOLLY
PRESSURE
252 ATK / 216 SPD / 40 SD
-ICE SHARD
-LOW KICK
-PURSUIT
-NIGHT SLASH
so this is my #1 favorite poke of all time, the original assassin and master of the dark arts. Basic trap set priority ice shard OHKOs the things its supposed to after stealth rock damage (and sometimes before rocks are even up) i love playing teams with starmie because they assume im leading with toad and i send good ol weavy up to bat first night slash and a well timed pursuit will OHKO that thing 1 million times out of 1 million times. pursuit also works well with toads perish song...again if timed correctly. Low kick OHKOs tyranter and heatran which is good enough for me. the ev spread i preety much got from other people, i heard 216 speed is the number to out speed scarfs with a certain base speed (not sure about the number) and the 40 sd because if i switch in on rocks the the hp evs all of a sudden no longer matter
FERROTHORN @ LEFTOVERS
NATURE=SASSY
IRON BARBS
252 HP / 252 SD / 4 DEF
-LEECH SEED
-STEALTH ROCK
-POWER WHIP
-THUNDER WAVE/GYRO BALL
if ferro is a biznitch to take down then hes even harder to take down in the rain. SD evs because flamethrower can still hurt in the rain, HP evs because its ferro and leftovers because...ITS FERRO. Torn in between gyro ball and Twave trying them of and on and so far i like Twave more?
LANDORUS THENIEN @EXPERT BELT (/LEFTOVERS?)
NATURE=ADAMANT
INTIMIDATE
252 hp / 252 atk / 4 spd
-SLEEP TALK
-EARTHQUAKE
-U TURN
-SUPER POWER
ah landorus my pseudo tank, max hp evs means he can survive long enough to deal blows with his massive atk stat. max atk eq puts a dent in just about anything that isnt levitating, nothing wants to be put to sleep but if some one has to catch some zsss it might as well be this guy with an atk stat of over 400. expert makes sure he can land his KOs you would be surprised what u-turn can do against some things that its weak to although ive recently played with leftovers and am liking the results
LATIAS @LEFTOVERS
NATURE=TIMID
LEVITATE
252 SPD / 240 HP / 16 SPA
-SUBSTITUTE
-CALM MIND
-THUNDER
-DRAGON PULSE
why have rain and not abuse the 100% accuracy of either hurricane or thunder? this slot was originally thunderus T, then it was jirachi, latias has just enough bulk to land hits effectivly while being able to take a couple blows for the team. sub calm mind boost her already beefyness and also allows me to avoid para/burn/toxic/leech seed ect... as stated many times im no pro when it comes to ev investment this was a spread i saw a while ago, forgot the reason but im pretty sure there had to be a good one if i went with it?
THE CONCLUESION...
thanks for reading this and remember its my 1st one and i worked fairly hard on it so go easy on me lol
