My Buddy Fland helped me with this team

Catch 22

Introduction
Ok, this an offensive team Ive made due to the hype of them recently. No, its not designed to counter Husks team. Thats not how the game should be played. This team has a blend of speed, power, and priority. More times than not, before I edited this team, id somehow lose to Deoxys due to not being able to out speed it, which annoyed me because Id usually outplay my opponnent until Deo came out and swept. This team has 4 priority moves, yes 4. Yet i dont feel it hinders this team what so ever.


Teams Goal
So, on to the teams goal. My goal, in a nutshell, is to completely bombard my opponent to the point where he gets frustrated and baffled. Yes, there some exaggeration but there are times when people have confronted me and said nice team.

Synergy
With a blend of Speed, Power,Priority and also Immunities, I can be successful with even the slightest prediction. This team is no husks teams even though it may look somewhat similiar since he used the power house sweepers most offensive teams need. Anyways, I digress and reveal you my team

475.png

Gallade @ Lum berry
Ability: Stead Fast
Evs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/6 Speed
Nature: Adament
Moveset:
1. Swords Dance
2. Close Combat
3. Ice Punch
4. Shadow Sneak

Why I picked Gallade For My Lead
Answer: Gallade is getting more and more popular these days. I like this set alot and it really does a great job of taking special hits as well as status (stares down bronzong). Shadow Sneak 2hko's various ghosts/physics that give myteam a little trouble. Also, like i mentioned, takes special hits very very well. Which is key to this team.

Gyarados @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
Ev's: 80 HP/252 Atk/ 176 Speed (Ev's Subject to change)
Nature: Adament (+ Atk - SpA)
Moveset:
1. Dragon Dance
2. Ice Fang
3. Aqua Tail/Waterfall
4. Earthquake

Why I picked Gyarados:
Answer: Gyarados instills fear into any team thats not prepared for it, ev's out run base 115 Speed pokes such as Starmie. A +1 Stabbed Aqua Tail with Life Orb hits stuff extremely hard. Ive been using this team for a while and have yet to see Aqua Tail miss. +1 Ice Fang will 2hko celebi with rocks up and 2hkos vaporeon with +1 earthquake . Plays a big role with Mamoswine. They nearly cover each others weakness' and hit hard. Both of which work very well together. Gyara is a viable role to this team and I prefer it over mence.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Ability: Steadfast
Nature: Mild (+ SpA - Def)
Evs: 160 Atk/252 Spd/ 96 SpA (weird Ev's subject to change)
Moveset:
1. Hp Ice
2. Agility
3. Shadow Ball
4. Close Combat

Why I picked Lucario: Moveset by Remix!
Answer: Lucario is simply amazing, finishes off stuff the rest of my team cant. HP Ice if for the unsuspecting Gliscor, but it only works when I show off my physical moves hiding HP Ice and Bullet punch which isnt too hard to do. Close Combat obliterates various Blisseys/Umbreons/Snorlax etc and vaccum wave is stab and is a priorty move that hits what bullet punch can't. Bullet punch is for those near ko'd gengars and misseys. Lucario has finished off teams a number of times and owe many wins to it. I no the moveset looks weird but it really is effective.

mamoswine.png
Mamoswine @ Choice Band
Ability: Snow Cloak
Nature: Adament (+Atk - SpA)
Ev's: 64 Hp/252 Atk/ 192 Spd
1. Ice Fang
2. Ice Shard
3. Earthquake
4. Stone Edge

Why I picked Swine:
Answer: Ah I love the phrase "Your team is Mamo weak". This standard CB set its stuff so hard, 2hkos nearly all physical walls, guaranteed 2hko with Rocks. 2hkos Forre, Pert, Cune, Celebi (With Ice fang), and is a nice counter to magnezone( hp grass less ones). Mamo outruns some bulky Gyara's as well and ohkos with rocks up and with stone edge. Ice shard is amazing and at least half or more to all the mainstream sweepers that dont resist it, which includes Gengar, Azelf, Jolteon, P-Z, and and others.
Mamo may be the most viable member of this team, i absolutely love this thing and stops outrage chomps in there tracks. Awesome.

Magnezone @ Lefties
Ability: Magnet Pull
Nature: Modeset
Moveset:
1. HP ice
2. Thunderbolt
3. Magnet Rise
4. Sub

Why I picked Magnezone:
Answer: A much needed steal killer for this team. Every beginning of a battle goes like this, fake out, taunt, u turn (the leading bronzong) and then switch into a gyro ball, and then proceed to sub and kill off Zong. This thing is a beast behind a sub.

Deoxys @ Expert Belt
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Hasty
Ev's: 160 HP/96 Spd/ 252 SpA (Needs help with ev's)
Moveset:
1. SUPERPOWER
2. Ice Beam
3. Thunderbolt
4. Physic


Why I Picked Deoxys:
Answer: I need a fast bolt beamer who could take care of infernape and scarf chomp (incase mamo went down early). Deoxys, in my opinion, ties up all the lose ends up this team.
Im debating on whether to remove Ice Beam or Thunderbolt for Superpower. Other wise, Gyara or Chomp/Mence could really hurt this team. But then again, a T-Tar my come in and pursuit my switch and get off being barely scratched by thunderbolt or ice beam.


Threat List

Azelf - Gengar, Ambipom, Deoxys
Bronzong - I have trouble, usually Ill try to DD up with Gyara or just close combat. Really think Magnezone would work
Deoxys -S: Requires some prediction, but a blend of priority will 2hko
Dugtrio - Lol
Cresselia - Most of my teams use Gengar just so I can 2hko Cressy, +1 Aqua tail will do a lot of damage.
Dragonite - Mamo, Deo, Gyara
Dusknoir - 2hko'd by Aqua Tail from Gyara, 2hko by Eq from Mamo,
Electivire - Deo outspeeds with motordrive, Ambipom hurts it with fake out and Gengar can outspeed it if the nature is changed to timid. Lucario and Mamo do nice damamge to it with priority moves
Forretress - 2hko by Cb eq from mamo, 2hko by +1 Aqua Tail, Close Combat manages to fall short of 2hko with rocks. Another reason why I want Magnezone.
Gallade - Double Status verions are annoying, usually I go for the intimadate while previously fakeing it out. And shadow sneal wont ohko gengar.
Garchomp - No chance
Gliscor - No chance
Celebi - Ambipom with U turn/Ice Fang from Mamo 2ko's, shadow ball nearly ohko's
Gyara - Deoxys/Gengar
Heatran - Gyara/ Lucario/ Gengar (if necessary)
Heracross - Gyara/Gengar/
Hippowdon - Gyara/Lucario/ Deo/
Infernape - Gyara/Lucario/Deo/ Ambipom
Jirachi - Gyara/Mamo/ Lucario
Lucario - Lucario/Gyara/ Gengar
Jolteon - Mamo/Lucario/Ambipom/ Gengar
Magnezone - Mamo/ Gyara (without sub)/ Lucario
Metagross - Mamo outspeeds most Metagross/Gyara/ Lucario/ gengar
Gengar - Ambpiom/ Deo/ Gengar
Starmie - Ambipom/ Gengar/ Deo
Wobba - Ambpiom/Gengar/Mamo
Weavile - Ampibom/Lucario/gyara

Conclusion
Constructing this team and making this RMT took alot of effort and time. I ask that you criticize what you think that looks like a problem. This team has been very successful on shoddy with a mere handful of losses. Honestly, with correct prediction this team can be very successful if you used correctly. Im shaky with Gengar, He provides excellent resistances to the team but I think Magnezone could really tear up those steel threats that hinder this team.
 
A boah with a sub up can ohko your whole team if it packs t-bolt. Deoxys-s is just asking to be set up on by boah so you might want the standard lo sweeper set and put rocks on something else. Maybe make mamoswine a curser and throw rocks on that. You could also change your lead to a stealth rocker, thats if you really like cb mamo though. Not at bad team at all, but you will beed great prediction to use it. Also, is it just me or does this seem like a messed up version of husks team? ._.

Also I would change gyarados to a resTalker to help out your bronzong weakness, and not make it worse.

I agree with Zarzema. But Imo I think that you should have Deoxys as your lead. You could lay down rocks when they switch, and then set up what you want.

If you make your Gyarados a resttalker, you can absorb Hypnosis from the likes of Bronzong and such. The only slight problem is that Your resttalker will be walled by Bronzong...
 
I want to keep Mamo a Cb swine, um Ive been trying out Magnezone on shoddy and its been doing wonders over Gengar. I guess stealth rocks arent too necessary, but I may have deo be hasty with super power and with an expert belt. the restalk gyara isnt too necessary if im using Magnezone. Thanks for the help so far
 
Actually, Zarzema. After seeing your Lead gallade, i thought that may work over ambipom, and I can then go ahead and switch Lucario into mixpert or support uxie. Ive officialy changed gengar to magnezone

Boah will have a hard time setting up period on this team though. Most of the Pokemon pack either Earthquake, Aqua Tail or a powerful Fighting move. Magnezone is the exception, but a Thunderbolt won't be loved by Tyranitar, regardless of it being a Boah in the sand.

And to the team.

Effective lead, I hate it with a passion. It can only be beat by a Physical Wall, but if you want to cover most walls, replace Stone Edge with Ice Punch, it hits Zapdos, sacrificing a bit of power, but Gliscor will wall you if you don't use it, as it can roost off a good portion of the damage from Stone Edge. I prefer waterfall to aqua tail, just because of that chance of flinch, and the accuracy is worth the 5 BP. Correct me if I'm thinking of the wrong move, I just know a move with Aqua has a higher base power than waterfall but less accuracy. I know a set that could work very well for your Lucario, but I don't really want to post it here, it's a friend of mines that I tested and he said I can use if I want. Mamo is fine, thats a pretty standard set. Magnezone is cool, especially when you need to get rid of Skarmory and Forretress, who can stall your teams sweep with a high ratio of Physical attackers to Special/Mix sweepers. Last but not least, Deoxys looks a bit mangled. Use either a Hasty or Naive nature, with 252 Speed, thats the big thing right now, and you may be in a situation where you need to rely on the luck of a speed tie with another full speed deoxys. Thats all though

Pretty solid team, sorry for the big amount of text, I'm just in a kind of helpful mood
 
Honestly, I see little to no reason to use Focus Sash on Deoxys, unless you're paranoid about Dugtrio. Deoxys-S' offensive stats are a bit mediocre, and without Expert Belt he loses the ability to OHKO Gyarados with Thunderbolt. Without Expert Belt, Tyranitar will survive a Superpower, and Blissey will simply say hi to it.

I would switch from Timid > Hasty or Naive here. Superpower is utterly useless with Timid as even with Expert Belt, Blissey will stop it. Shift the EVs from HP to Attack.

Waterfall should be used over Aqua Tail on Gyarados. The 10 BP loss isn't a huge deal, especially when you have 100% accuracy, 20% flinch and more PP to work with. Unless of course, I'm missing somehing here.
 
Edited:

Galldes' Stone edge to Ice punch

Deoxys changed to Hasty/Naive with expert Belt

Aqua Tail Changed to Waterfall

thanks guys
 
Gallade with 252 EV HP? Why? it needs all the speed it can get. Relying on the weak, unSTABed Shadow Sneak for the lack of speed won't work. Use this:
Jolly nature
Scope Lens item
252 EVs Atk/6 Def/252 Spe
~Swords Dance
~Psycho Cut
~Close Combat
~Night Slash/Leaf Blade/Stone Edge
Gyarados is good.
Lucario-both types that are steel-weak (rock and ice) are fighting-weak as well, therefor replace Bullet Punch with any decent attacking move to your choice. I'm not sure if it actually needs a 1st-go attack, but if you seem to think so, good luck countering Revarsalers.
Manoswine is good.
Magnezone-I never understood why should it ever use Sub over it's secondery STAB to suprise Regice, but as it's the standart the set is good.
Deoxys (speed I suppose)-why 160 EV HP? Pour then into attack, and use Life Orb.
 
I played this team only difference was Garchomp replaced Lucario. And i really think Mamo is the standout all-star of the team, if theres good prediction Mamo can take out 2+ threats in a game. If anything for lucario i would not try to agility with it in stead give it a priority move (extremespeed or bullet punch) to increase its revenge killing opportunities
 
I am actually going to voice dissent on Gallade using Ice Punch over Stone Edge. Mainly because it is a lead and will see plenty of Gyarados in that position, having the ability to throw a Stone Edge at Gyara is very powerful. I think that Ice Punch only benefits against Gliscor, which is easily handled by almost everyone else on his team except Magnezone. I'd rather have 2 pokes that can put a dent in Gyarados than one, especially when Mamoswine is weak against Waterfall.
