Well hey there everyone! My name's (not really) GoodwillBBQ and I present to you my very first post and RMT! I've been playing competative pokemon for about a year or so and I just started my own battling channel on youtube about a month ago. Anyways, thanks for looking at this thread/my videos and let's get started!
So, to start off I love stall. My favorite play style by far. However, I kinda wanted to try something a little more offensive. I had made another team with a Sub/Ice Beam/Outrage/Fusion Bolt Kyruem-B, so I decided to make another team with Kyurem-B as the main focus.
I picked Choice Scarf Kyurem-B (aka The Cube) as a general wallbreaker/immediate threat. However, this set is walled by steel types like Ferrothorn, Forrestress, and Skarmory so I needed something to take those out. Enter: Magnezone!
I figured after Magnezone eliminates all steel types there's nothing to stop me from just loading my team full of dragons to just completely sweep my opponents. So I added Moxie Choice Scarf Salamence, Choice Specs Latios for some Special offense, (you'll notice Choice items kinda become a theme here) and SubSD Garchomp to try and set up.
So, after all these dragons I had a screaming weakness to not only Dragon, but Ice as well. To combat other dragons I might face I had to employ the best dragon check in the game (and one of my personal favorites) Jolly Life Orb Mamoswine!
So after playtesting a bit, I realized Garchomp wasn't really pulling his own weight. He was just compounding my Ice/Dragon weakness as was honestly too frail to take any attack (I even gave him the berry that reduces super effective Ice damage, but he would still die frequently) and he rarely ever had a chance to set up. Additionally, all the scarfers in the world wouldn't be able to handle powerful priority uses (mainly opposing Mamoswine) so I had to employ my own, Choice Banded Scizor.
After this point I began to realize having 4 choiced pokemans was making predicting on my end very difficult and easily punishable so I changed Scizor to Iron Plate and Latios to Expert Belt.
And that's it! That's my Drag Mag team! Now, without further adieu, let's get to the individual pokemans.
Kyurem-Black @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Teravolt
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Fusion Bolt
- Stone Edge
- Dragon Claw
Ahh, the dreaded Cube. Remember when we all saw the Cube's and Kyurem-W's base stats and immediately said, "Uber! Uber away!" and hence they went and all was well. Until somebody said, "Dragon/Ice sucks and the Cube sucks and his movepool sucks so lets try him OU fools!". And somehow, this BEAST of a pokeman was allowed in. Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Man this thing is gewd. The cube is my typical lead. Outrage is my typical first move. If my opponent doesn't have a steel type in, something is most likely gonna die. And it's gonna die dead. Basically, I outrage to force my opponent to go to their steel type, at which point I bring in Magnezone and BOOM! dead. All the other moves are filler, Outrage is the only real move you need. I chose Adamant because people aren't usually expecting this to be Scarfed so chances are it'll outspeed whatever they have out and the extra damage is really noticeable (IT'S A FREAKIN KYUREM-B).
Magnezone @ Leftovers
Trait: Magnet Pull
EVs: 36 HP / 220 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Thunder Wave
This is the standard trapping Magnezone. Like I said earlier, the reason the Cube exists is to force my opponent to bring in their steel type and then use this to kill it. The EVs are the given Smogon set to outspeed Scizor, the main offensive threat this needs to be able to kill. I chose Thunerbolt and Flash Cannon over Sub Charge Beam for a few reasons. I don't want this to be walled by ground types (especially Dugtrio), the set is gimmicky to play, and Flash Cannon hits opposing Kyurem-Bs for super effective damage. Thunder Wave is extremely useful as Paralysis is the only status this team needs. If this somehow lives an attack from something threatening (opposing Scarfers), I can TWave them to make them easier to take out. I chose Leftovers over Specs because it's not like I need another choiced pokemon and I don't want it to become set up fodder for my opponent.
Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SAtk
Naive Nature
- Outrage
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
The next powerful dragon I've got to show is Moxie Salamence. I chose Scarf because once it gets its Moxie boost, nothing wants to take a hit. Ideally, once all the steel types are eliminated I can bring it in on a safe switch in and get a Moxie sweep goin. I chose Naive (+Atk, -SpDef) since it's flying typing allows useful resistances to fighting type attacks which are mostly physical. Outrage is win button. Dragon Claw is if I don't wanna get locked into Outrage. Earthquake is for remaining steel types and coverage. Fire Blast was for specifically Genesect, but since it got banned (THANK GOD) it's mainly used for backup incase Magnezone goes down early before I kill Ferro or Forre.
Latios (M) @ Expert Belt
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Surf
- Ice Beam
Latios. My only Special attacker. Originally, he used to be Specs but I didn't like being locked into moves. Especially Draco if there was a steel type or any other resistance. I chose Expert Belt because it makes it easy to bluff the Specs. I chose Psyshock so I couldn't be walled by Blissey/Chansey, but since I have so many physical attackers I might wanna change it to Psychic.
Scizor @ Iron Plate
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 248 HP / 8 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Superpower
- Pursuit
The standard CB Scizor but this time with Iron Plate. There isn't much to say. Iron Plate means it's possible to bluff the band and it's made for revenge killing when scarfers can't. Most notably, Mamoswine. Superpower helps with remaining steels and U-Turn is for scouting. Pursuit is good for when I know my opponent is going to switch out, or against a psychic type. Since he's not choiced, I suppose it's possible to plug in roost or maybe even SD to get a Scizor sweep agoin. He makes an excellent replacement to Garchomp.
Mamoswine @ Life Orb
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 HP / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
By golly do I love Mamoswine. Especially Jolly Life Orb Mamoswine. While he's no speedster, with max speed he can be faster than a majority of troubling pokemon. Namely Jolly Breloom who loves to spam Technician boosted Mach Punches left and right. Even though Mamoswine is Jolly and not Adamant, his Ice Shards can still reliably kill all the dragons he needs to, many at full health. All the other moves are filler coverage moves. I suppose I could take out Stone Edge (err.... maybe not) or something for Stealth Rocks, but the rock coverage is very helpful.
So that there is my hyper offensive team. It really struggles with super defensive pokemon and dedicated stall teams. If you'd like to see a video of this team click HERE to see it in action, as well as check out my other videos. Thanks for looking at my team/channel and have a good one!
