First Glance
Basic Premise
This team is designed to let Salamence run any and all pokes he can out with a setup free Choice Specs variant. After that it is designed to wear down the foes with its resistances aided by stealth rock support and sandstream support (with 3 immunities).
SpecsMence @ Choice Specs
Role: Lead
Modest
EV: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Draco Meteor
~ Dragon Pulse
~ Flamethrower
~ Hydro Pump
Basically used to put a dent in any and everything. Most users will mispredict the Physical variant and switch to a physical wall. Takes care of steel leads such as bronzong, metagross, and jirachi with flamethrower. Most others get a Draco Meteor to the face. If threatened with Ice by the ever declining weavile, P-Z, or swampert lead switches to forretress or bliss. If threatened by dragon, goes to forretress. If threatened by rock, also usually goes to forretress. Awesome for scouting for Bliss.
Forretress @ Leftovers
Role: Physical wall and Resistances
252 HP / 112 Atk / 144 Def
Relaxed
~ Stealth Rock
~ Gyro Ball
~ Rapid Spin
~ Explosion
Amazing Physical wall. Eats attacks from the most threatening of foes, namely dragon and steel. Lays out SR on the switch out. Used to sponge attacks and usually explodes on Blissey late game.
Scizor @ Life Orb
Role: Priority User and Physical Sweep.
32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spe
Adamant
~ Swords Dance
~ Bullet Punch
~ Superpower
~ U-Turn
Metagames most deadly threat suits well on a defensive team with its great bulkiness. Great priority move, Sword Dance, Scouting. Scizor has it all. If threatened by fire usually passes to Gyara or Ttar.
Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Role: Sets up sandstream, Great physical Coverage
Adamant
6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
~ Dragon Dance
~ Crunch
~ Stone Edge
~ Earthquake
Takes hits from a lot of common types. Can switch in on many pokes to get the DD off on the switch out. Always a good poke.
WishBlissey @ Leftovers
Role: Wish passing and keeping Sp Sweepers at bay
252 Def / 80 SpA / 176 SpD
Calm
~ Wish
~ Protect
~ Flamethrower
~ Toxic
Blissey... Whats there to say? Takes special attacks like a monster, pashes wishes when it can. Toxic stalls in conjunction to others.
Zapdos @ Leftovers
Role: Pretty good at crippling and Absorbing
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid
~ Thunderbolt
~ Heat Wave
~ Thunderwave
~ Roost
Covers much needed types as well as does a pretty good job stalling and setting up TW on sweepers.
I also have an EV trained Celebi and Gyarados I was thinking of using. Any advice?
Thanks!
