This is my first ever RMT. So please bare with me!
My theme is, of course, the characters of my favorite books.
Let us start off with our tragic hero/suicide lead
Oedipus (Smeargle) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Spore
- Sticky Web
- Endeavor
Fairly straight forward. My team is not the quickest, so in order to truly shine, I believe a Sticky Web must be down. This is especially true for Kingdra. With sticky web down, Kingdra REALLY tears into teams with its set. With a Stealth Rocks too? BAM. What do you think about the EV spread?
Dorian (Zoroark) @ Life Orb
Ability: Illusion
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 40 SAtk / 216 Spd
Naughty Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Flamethrower
- Low Sweep
Ahh. My favorite Pokemon, and favorite character of all times. The Immortal DORIAN GRAY. I built my team around this fellow for the simple reasoning that I love this Pokemon. Adds a depth to my team that I really just love. Switch in on something safe, disguised as a Mawile. Swords Dance. If they don't break it, then you're sweeping just as a Mawile would, with slightly less damage. Flamethrower for Skarm/Forettress/Ferrothorn
Lennie (Mandibuzz) @ Leftovers
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Foul Play
- Taunt
- Whirlwind
- Defog
I'm really loving this thing. I'm not sure how he can learn Foul Play in game(Can someone clarify that for me? Since it is allowed in pre-pokebank OU) He is an absolute monster. If I see an opposing Smeargle, I lead. Belly Drum Azumaril? Have you met Foul Play? Nice Shell Smash, Cloyster.... Defog to clear the field. Whirlwind for pesky subs/damage with stealth rocks.
Sherlock (Kingdra) @ Scope Lens
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Focus Energy
- Draco Meteor
- Scald
- Ice Beam
A bit of a gimmicky set I admit...hehe. But I have a LOT of fun with it. Scope Lens+Focus Energy=100% Crit chance. Sniper = 225% of the original damage. 2HKO's turn into OHKO's. Crits also ignore stat changes, so the Draco Meteor spam is....nice to say the least. :P Very fun set, a great special sweeper with nice bulk.
Alex (Chandelure) @ Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 68 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 184 Spd
Modest Nature
- Substitute
- Fire Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Pain Split
Great synergy with the whole team. Fantastic coverage, and a fantastic pokemon. Switching into a fire blast, an getting a sub in on the switch out has enabled me to sweep full teams with this pokemon. If you. Named after Alex, the main character of A Clockwork Orange.
Antigone (Mawile-Mega) @ Mawilite
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Play Rough
- Sucker Punch
- Iron Head
The star of the team. Mega Mawile....what a monster. Highest attack stat in the game with huge power, mixed with amazing defensive typing. Providing it 2 immunities (one being dragon...) and decent HP. Being on the receiving end of a Sucker Punch from this thing is not reccomended....with one swords dance...oh baby.
Now, as you can see. I have built this team purely because I love the pokemon in it, and have a lot of fun with all of them. What I am hoping to get out of this RMT is to competitive it up a bit. I'm slowly learning all of the type match ups, and one thing I've noticed is that I have a gigantic weakness to Electric. Especially Magnezone. Flamethrower 3HKOing him and him completely walling Kingdra....I've just never been able to really dig into him. Or any electric type for that matter. So, Smogon Community. Do your worst. Tell me my team sucks. Tell me what I can do. Lets go! I'm ready.
