Hello hopefully you guys remember me and my first team, if not that’s ok. :) Anyways without further ado here’s my second team.


Here's my team at a glance: - - - - -

breloom.png

Breloom (F) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Effect Spore
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Spore
- Seed Bomb
- Superpower
---
My lead, he will stop any lead (barring Aerodactyl) from setting any rocks with Spore. He also makes a fantastic revenge killer sporting a 393 speed and 359 attack. Superpower is his primary attack with stab and good coverage it makes it a deadly attack. Stove Edge is for type coverage to hit flyers who resist Superpower like Gyarados and Salamence. Seed Bomb is a second STAB that would hit any Water and Ground types hard. The EVs are quite simple 252 Atk EVs allows Breloom to hit as hard as possible, the 252 Speed EVs allow him to go as fast as possible. >_> The rest in HP. The Jolly nature is for Breloom to have enough Speed to outspeed Azelf leads and to outspeed +Speed Nature 125 Pokémon like Weavile.

Azelf @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Explosion
- Thunderbolt
---
My second lead, I'll summon him when Breloom Spores the opposing lead. Azelf will set up rocks hopefully after that he can take out a couple of Pokémon with Explosion/Thunderbolt/Fire Blast with his fantastic Speed and Special Attack. If he kills more than 1 Pokémon he has done a job well done. :) The EVs here are simple (again >_>) 252 Spd EVs allows him to go as fast as possible, and 252 SAtk lets him to hit as hard as possible with Fire Blast and Thunderbolt. Hasty Nature is so Explosion doesn't get hampered. :D

lucario.png

Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Extremespeed
- Swords Dance
- Thunderpunch
---
Lucario..... One of my favorite new Pokémon out there. ^_^ Anyways he's a beast; he's a great wall breaker. Capable of breaking stall teams with his godly Close Combat coming with 350 attack (700 with a Sword Dance :D). He's also the best finisher in the game. He can come in after a Pursuit from Scizor/Tyranitar and destroy entire teams. Thunderpunch is for incoming Gyarados who think they could counter me Instantly destroying them after a Sword Dance. The EVs and Nature here are pretty self-explanatory. :/

rotomwash.png

Rotom-w @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 66 HP/192 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Trick
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
---
My primary Lucario Counter, switch him after Luke does a SD and OHKO him with a STAB Specs Thunderbolt. With the following EVs he reaches 281 speed to outspeed Adamant Lucario and Pokémon aiming to outspeed him such as Gliscor and Manoswine. Hydro Pump/Thunderbolt have good type coverage and hit many Pokémon hard, Shadow Ball is for STAB and hit things like other Rotoms, Latias, Celebi hard. Trick is to screw up the opponents like Blissey/Snorlax who would otherwise laugh at this set.

heatran.png

Heatran (F) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Flash Fire[/FONT]
EVs: 34 HP/224 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Dragon Pulse
- Earth Power
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power [Grass]
---
Good synergy with Breloom and Azelf can take all his super-effective hits for either half-damage or no damage, also Heatran can take Fire moves targeting to Luke or Breloom and hit very hard with a STAB Fire Blast. Can potentially 2HKO Blissey with FlashFire Fire Blast (with Stealth Rock/Leftovers factored in) Earth Power is for incoming Heatran looking for a Fire Blast to eat. HP Grass is for coverage and for those pesky Swamperts out there. Dragon Pulse is for Salamence/Kingdra/Latias who would wall this set. 224 Speed EVs is so Heatran hits 246 to assure him to outspeed defensive Zapdos and Celebi, 252 SAtk is for Heatran to obviously hit as hard as possible. The rest in HP.

salamence.png

Salamence (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 40 Atk/254 Spd/216 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake
- Outrage
---
My wall breaker and mid-game breaker, he can practically hit any Pokémon really hard and 2HKO most OU Pokémon with this set. Outrage and Draco Meteor are Salamences' high-powered STAB moves that he will use most of the time to wreak havoc. Earthquake and Fire Blast are moves in helping Salamence to get rid of those pesky Steels out of the way that resist his STAB moves. The 254 EVs is to maximize Salamence's speed, the rest of the EVs is to balance his Special Attack with Attack. The Nature is so Salamence hits hard as possible. :)

This is my team, please fix it. :)
 
Hi there, this is a good team but I can already see some changes you might need, Thunderpunch on Lucario is not the way to go. IF anything at all you should carry Stone Edge so that you can deal with Zapdos too. Seeing as a +1 Stone Edge does 120.54% - 142.16% to the BulkyGyara and 88.32% - 104.06% to the ResTalkGyara commonly run in Stall teams. Thats a KO with Stealth Rock so you have no need to run ThunderPunch. Stone Edge also lets you hit all the Rotom formes for at least neutral damage.


Continuing you have a huge Dragon Dange Gyarados weakness . If it gets a Dragon Dance against your Vashta while its locked in to Earth Power it can sweep your team. It does 99.61% - 117.90% to you Rotom-w and a definite KO if Stealth Rock is in play. For that reason I recommend you change your Rotom-w to a Scarf version. This would work:

Rotom-w @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Trick
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball

The extra speed allows you to outspeed a +1 Speed Gyarados and +positive nature base 85 pokemon like Heracross. You outspeed Scarf Heatran and hit it with Hydro Pump dealing 66.05% - 78.40% a KO if it has taken prior damage.



Im not too sure how well that heatran has worked for you but you could run a Naive nature and max speed so thta you can 2KO Offensive Gyarados after Stealth Rock damage.




I hope I helped and Godd Luck with this team.
