This is the team im planning to use on shoddy with the new platinum metagame. Ive been away from the smogon forums for a while i know but not to pokemon. Ive failed 3 times already to make an RMT without getting a notice from the mods so hopefully this one will be ok xD. Ive been doing my best in shoddy. Currently im better at UU since they made those platinum changes ive been haxed a lot by skymin but i want to dominate in OU anyways here it is:
Deoxys-e @ Leftovers
Taunt
Stealth Rock
Reflect
Light Screen
Timid-hp252, sdef 6, spe 252
I use this pokemon to set those all important rocks of doom. Also those dual screens help a lot. Max speed to outspeed other deoxys leads with the same moveset to taunt and screw them over completely. It also counters a problem pokemon called metagross with trick. Thanks to taunt.
Zapdos @ Leftovers
Thunderbolt/Discharge
Heat Wave
Toxic/HP[Grass]
Roost
Bold-hp252, def220, 36spe
This is my sort of anti-skymin. It also is a great wall and stops luke in its tracks barring stone edge. Im thinking of whether i should use toxic or hp grass both of them take out swampert hmmm. I dont know u guys help me xD.
Tentacuel @ Black Sludge
Surf
Ice Beam
Rapid Spin
Toxic Spikes
Calm-hp204,36spe,satk96,sdef172
This is my spinner also sets up the toxic spikes for my team. It also sort of counters scarftran but if he uses earth power on my switch i may be screwed but w/e. Surf for stab and ice beam for grass types i dont need hp electric since i have zappy for those bulky waters. I dont know if I should have him maybe i should take him out for starmie?
Rotom-h@ Choice Scarf
Thunderbolt
Overheat
Shadow Ball
Trick
Modest-hp6,satk252,spe252
My anti spinner and debatably the best antispinner in the game. It also tricks when I know the opponent will try to wall me with bliss only to have a speedy bliss xD. This thing has been great has won me many battles. So I use him in every team I make.
Salamence@ Life Orb
Outrage
Fire Fang
Earthquake
Dragon Dance
Adamant-hp80,atk252,spe176
My sweeper it clears everything my opponent may have left. I usually only use him in the late game. Ive been having some troubles with him though since he gets trapped with outrage. And steels are just annoying to him.
176 spe evs to reach 280 so that i can outspeed adamant luke and kill him with EQ. He may be packing ice punch so thats why i want assurance cause luke rapes if ur not prepared.
Jirachi@ Choice Scarf
Ice Punch
Zen Headbutt
U-Turn
Trick
adamant-hp6,atk252,spe252
My revenge killer it may seem awkward but thats the beauty of this set. Nobody expects this I always revege kill skymin with ice punch because of the surprise omg factor. U-Turn to scout. Trick is usually saved for the late game with jira if i really need to do it cause i usually want his speed more than incapacitating a skarm or gliscor.
So what do u think does this team suck badly? Or is it going to have a chance at keeping me in 1500s on shoddy? Anyways, rate and i hope i followed all the rules now lol.
