Hello there, this is my second RMT hoping to get as many rates as posible. Thanks for whatching. (this is not youtube)

First, I started using PKGaming and Jabba's AWESOME team, however I started to realize I've seen many people using the same, or a little changed team very often so I started making some of my own.

Since the only roblems I've had with this team where some ice, rock and psychic types I decided to put scrafty and scizor who where doing a great job but, if politoed and latios were down bulky pokemons such as quagsguire, would be VERY annoying for this team, since they would stall me to death. I kept haxorus because it may be the greatest lead I've had ever, and tremendous attack and nice speed can OHKO many pokemon fromthe late metagame exept for steel types, which is why I have magnezone aswell.

Since the last team version i saw easily how some poeple could stall me with ferrothon or skarmory if magnezone was out which made me rage sometimes so I stried going stall aswell and tried the new sableye and evolite chansey combo which worked kinda well until a scizor, or a tyranitar showed up. I changed Latios back to dragonite because it's my favorite pokemon, and with its new ability it had DD almost warrantied but then mamoswine shows up and ice shard me, it 2HKO's it.

The current and final version of the team. I finnaly found some good balance between these pokemon. Swords Dance Scizor could OHKO Tyranitar and 2HKO-OHKO another scizor by brick break aswell as Scafty, celebi is maybe the best counter against quagsire and can take ferrothon's annoying leach seed without problem. Going bulky DD dragonite is a great sweeper, I've seen Dragonite sweeping entire teams by doing 2-4 DD, and with its new ability it's easy to set up.

The Team

150px-612Haxorus.png

Haxorus (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SpA)
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Brick Break
- Dual Chop


"I definitely thought Haxorus was a piece of shit before I even used it once. Using CB Haxxy, though, I was immediately sold on the pure raw power that such a manly dragon could bring to the table". ~Jabba. That is the exact same thing I thought about haxorus, however, having a nice typing, nice movepool and convinient ability can make a battle start beautifully. Tyranitar leads get OHKO by Brick Break, Outage is almost my first option since its tremendous power + choice band kills most of the things. If he survives long enough I can switch in rotom-h / gengar and earthquake would make the kill since mold breaker makes levitate useless, however, gengar is faster. Dual chop Works to take Sub users out, but it has imperfect accuracy

Considerating: Nothing.
Tomarken%20%28Dragonite%29%2027.gif

ImaSweep(Dragonite) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 252 HP / 44 Atk / 212 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Claw
- Roost
- Fire Punch
- Dragon Dance

This set is easy to set up and has nice coverage. Dragon Claw is, of course, it's stab attack, which has great power after some DD's along with fire punch which 2HKO's OHKO's Ferrothon or other annoying steel types. Roost is to help Multiscale to make its work again and maybe some DD after, depending on the situation. I often switch in this guy when someone tries to go eq over magnezone.

Considering: Maybe Brick Break over Fire Punch? Idk, tyranitar often swicth in this Dragonite but I have scizor to help me with this guy. Also I've thinked about going lum berry over leftovers, poeple often try to inflict status ailments since it ruins him.

462Magnezone.png

BOOM! (Magnezone) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Magnet Pull
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Thunder
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Explosion
- Flash Cannon

This guy can take some dragon attacks, as well of electric, besides it works great as revenge killer, going choice scarf allows it to KO lots of unsuspecting players. I went thunder over thundebolt because, if I set rain first thunder is a better option. Hidden Power fire + magnet pull = Good bye scizor and ferrothon and flash cannon hits non-scarfed mamoswine and tyranitar. Blissey seems to be a ploblem for this guy though.

Considering: Nothing really

Scizor_art_by_Pokemon_Diamond.png

MetaKnight (Scizor) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Brick Break
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite

I'vealways loved swords dance scizor, in this gen, it makes a great sweeper and has a nice coverage. Bullet Punch is its stab attack and with +1 priority and if I SD it means problems for lots of pokemon. Brick Break is to hit some annoying steel types harder and that big pink (BAN ME PLEASE) if blissey and bug bite hits lati@s great, however Latios may do big damage, rain is very helpful with scizor since togekiss would 3HKO with flamethrower and Heatran would 2HKO with Fire Blast which makes me really happy.

Considering: Maybe super power over brick Break, but i dont really know about this. also, life orb over leftovers? the problemis that, for example if i hit ferrothon Iwould get Iron Barbs damage + Life orb damage + his attack = suicide and I like to see scizor to stick around

Celebi_%28dream_world%29.png

Tinkerbell (Celebi) @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Leaf Storm
- Rest
- Thunder Wave
- Hidden Power [Fire]

This is mostly like a hit and run pokemon, although it can survive many turns, I use it to thunder wave fast threats like vulcarona, starmie, gyarados, infernape etc. and having the opponent rage because of paraflinch is one of the greatest feelings in the world. Leaf storm is to kill those annoying bulky water types while hp fire works to hit steel and other grass types. And Rest combined with natural Cure is great, as I stated above this pokemon is like hit and run so, if it gets hurt just rest and switch.

115px-186Politoed.png

Politoed (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Perish Song


"Scarf Politoed fixes up a lot issues with the team and I appreciate its ability to check annoying threats like Excadrill and Garchomp. Hits like a bitch with Hydro Pump considering its low SpA stat. The thing I like the most about Politoed is that people are so desperate to preserve Tyranitar when they see Politoed they sack other Pokemon just to keep him alive but thing is ee don't even run any rain sweepers" ~PKGaming. As he said, having drizzle to automatically take sandstorm or sun out is great and if you add choice scarf you can revenge kill lots of pokemon however it requieres some prediction. Ice Beam is great against other dragon and gliscor nad hp grass is, again to hit bulky water types.

Considerating: Maybe Hypnosis over Perish Song? I love how perish song stops baton pass teams however, I've seen many people go hypnosis.



Threatlist
Non Dangerous
Dangerous
Dang it
Pendient
286MS.png
Breloom: This guy isnt a big danger for this team, celebi can takeany spore and kill with hp fire. Only Magnezone or politoed fear him but they are usually faster.
242MS.png
Blissey: Haxorus and Scizor can take her out, however I hate how she would inflict status to my team members. If she does that other sweeper may take adventage
437MS.png
Bronzong: Kind of annoying because it can tank a wide variety of hits and it hard counters politoed / scizor. Furthermore, its not always trappaple because some carry Earthquake. Its not that bad though, Dragonite can go Fire Punch until it dies, celebi can wall it. Haxorus can smash it to pieces with Mold Breaker Earthquake.
251MS.png
Celebi: Not really a problem, most of my pokemon carry fire/ice moves which can kill celebi, besides scizor has a x4 attack to this guy. Calm Mind ones are somewhat a problem
534MS.png
Conkeldurr: This guy's mach punch are annoying however, dragonite can set up infront of this guy, unless it has bulk up, then Im in trouble.
386SMS.png
Deoxys-S: His amazing speed is a problem for my team, since it has a huge movepool you cant really predict what i'd do. attacker ones are a problem definatly
530MS.png
Excadrill: Since i almost always win the weather war this guy isnt a big problem. Haxorus can brick break, d-nite fire punch, and if it doesnt have x-scizor, celebi can kill also.

598MS.png
Ferrothorn: This guys is a physical bitch. It requeres time to take this guy out, however most of my pokemons have something to work on it. The problemis that it puts entry hazards easily as well as leech seed. I'll leave it in blue.

205MS.png
Forretress: See Ferrothorn, altho, this guy is easier since it doesnt have Iron Barbs nor leech seed, dragonite can set up on him

445MS.png
Garchomps: SD garchomp is mean, celebi may wall it but it would set up easily. Choice ones arent so hard since I can switch easier. However this guy's attack is high wnough to sweep.

094MS.png
Gengar: This guy isnt much of a problem, it is indeed very powerful and fast however, it is very fragil, it wouldnt survive a thunder from magnezone. however, if my 2 scarfed pokemons are gone I only depend on haxorus' eq.

472MS.png
Gliscor: This dude has indeed some stickey life however, ice beamfrom politoed, and the amazing power from haxorus can kill it (Haxorus would 2HKO). Not really a problem

130MS.png
Gyarados: I depend on Magnezone to kill this guy, otherwise celebi can wall it, but not for too long, if it DD's alot im dead.

612MS.png
Haxorus: I think this guy would be a big problemfor my team, however I havent faced one yet. Pendient

485MS.png
Heatran: This guy in rain sucks, its fire attacks arent powerful enough, magnezone would evern susrvive on flamethower from this guy in rain and then kill or at least hit hard. As well Haxorus has brick break, and politoed can kill everytime.

635MS.png
Hydreigon: This guy is a problem, Every time it comes it means one of my teammember will die. Unless D-nite has some DD's on my favor It'll be something dangerous to deal with.

392MS.png
Infernape: Beeing as fragile as it is most of my pokemons cankill it (exept for celebi) however in rain it wont do much.
593MS.png
Jellicent: Its lack of defence makes it easy for my to KO, the only one who hates this guy is politoed, and scizor hates to get burned. Not really a problem if I still have magnezone,however I hate getting burned, and if it has ice beam i need to be careful.

385MS.png
Jirachi: If this guy is a paraflinch then I most prolly quit, boy I hate him, if haxorus isnt herethe other teammember would need some time to kill it and it usually makes me mad with thunder wave or Iron head. Calm Mind version arent so bad since, again haxorus makes the kill.

230MS.png
Kingdra: If im lucky enough to help kingdra set up by puttin rain for him then I can say bye bye to my team. Ihavent really battled one of this guys with this team, however I think it would be dangerous.

646MS.png
:Kyurem: Magnezone OHKO's however, my other pokemon fear him, exept for scizor ofc. Magnezs sucks

645MS.png
Landlos: It is fragil enough for meto kill with politoed, and even celebi, not really a problem. I really havent battled many of this guys,

380MS.png
Latias: If it gets calm minded many times and scizor is out it is a major problem, I need d-nite or scizor or haxorus to kill her, without them Im screwed


381MS.png
Latios: Latios is probably the biggest problem for this team. It has little it can come in on, but when it does it's going to be a massive problem. You don't want to toss Zone in there to take the hit since it's going to 2hko most of the time unless for some reason it's just tossing out non specs dragon pulses. I'd say scarf is the biggest problem since it outspeeds everything on the team and can ohko-2kho everything. This has been one of the bigger reasons I've wanted to try to fit Scizor in somewhere on the team. Maybe over Toed. It's worth a shot. But yeah this thing is just a menace. Some games can come down to that Latios/Latios speed tie which just isn't fun.

462MS.png
Magnezone: Well, since magnezone is scarfed, ifit switches in im dead, and sub ones will make haxorus almost dead, but other from that, celebi can wall fairly well, and kill slowly by hp fire

151MS.png
Mew: Most of this guys are baton passers, perish song is the way to roll, however I need to be careful on that he baton passes, since it is hard to take a mew out. Idk if hoxorus would kill it.
038MS.png
Ninetales: Sun teams are a breeze. Surprisingly they're generally easier to take down if using the Dragonite version as multiscale dragonite is definitely a great failsafe against sun teams, especially volcarona. But sun teams are generally frail and have trouble taking outrages/draco meteors so eventually ninetales goes down and toed can keep rain up if i even need it.

186MS.png
Politoed: Not really a problem, Ican OHKO_2HKO with magnezone, besides I have on for myself. other guys need to be careful with this guy. Expet for celebi aswell.

579MS.png
Reuniclus: Calmmind guys are hard to take out, since thei attacks are high however I shouldnt let him set up by doing outrage or using scizor, also celebi can thunderwave him to make it easier to kill.

479WMS.png
Rotom-W: I NEED haxorus to kill this guy, all of my other pokemons have a very hard timekilling this guy. Celebi may wall it but cant kill it.

373MS.png
Salamence: One of the least threatening dragons to the team. Though if I'm locked into an unfavorable attack with one of my choiced users, it can definitely force me to sac something. DD isn't a problem with 2 mons that can easily revenge it. Mixed is something I definitely have to look out for though, but it's not more threatening than Latios. Fatmence is dangerous though.
212MS.png
Scizor: Obviously try to catch it with a Zone switch, but definitely have to be careful while doing so. A lot of our team can just power through it, like Haxorus with the sexy 2hko. Not that dangerous. It's most annoying when it gets a free chance to u-turn though since that's putting a dent in everything and the team definitely doesn't like losing the momentum to a U-turn. Also Dragontie can set up infront of one, but beeing careful with bullet punches.

560MS.png
Scrafty: If this guy DD's I need to be wary, and kill asap with haxorus, other wise I'll try to revenge kill with magnezone, if it has ice punch, crunch and drain punch and I dont have haxorus, scizor then im dead.

561MS.png
Sigilyph: Never battled one of this

227MS.png
Skarmory: I try to catch it with zone if I can, but Skarmory is probably the most cautiously played steel if your opponent sees magnezone in team preview. This can of course be used to your advantage but you definitely still need to be careful. Shed Shell Skarm has only recently started to pop up a bit and those are downright assholish.

080MS.png
Slowbro: Definitely an asshole to the team. I've played a lot of matches where it comes into Haxorus, takes a massive chunk of damage, then switches out and regains enough to wall the rest of my team pretty well. Usually I'll try to catch himwith celebi, I'll know he switch to regain hp, unless he is the last one, then I'd be happy.

121MS.png
Starmie: Life orb sets can be slightly problematic definitely. it is fast, bad, mean and small but scizor may survive a surf and then kill with bug bite, but Iprefer trying to use magnezone since it hits hard.

639MS.png
Terrakion: Not really a problem if I still have politoed, magnezone, or scizor, most of my fellas canhit hard and kill this bitch.

642MS.png
Thundurus: Fuck this guy so hard. He's the most uncool genie bro. I have to be careful when switching in definitely, and I have trouble revenging it because I'm usually going to be forced to be locked into something unfavorable, especially since this thing can even be a problem early game. Celebi needs to go thunder wave and then pray for parahax since only haxorus can OHKO

641MS.png
Tornadus: See Landorus.

248MS.png
Tyranitar: If celebi sees this guy Imay say good bye to it, other from that, all my teamhave somesuper effective attacks, howevevr Ineed to be aware of mixed sets

494MS.png
Victini: Havent battled one.

640MS.png
Virizion: Celebi can wall easily, however, if choiced, d-nite, politoed and magnezone need to be careful, sicor almost kills with bug bite but finishes the job with bullet punch

637MS.png
Volcarona: Simple, D-nite lols at it, I can set up on it, and if rain is up, celebi can thunder wave it to be even easier,since it would be 2HKO even after quiver dance.

Will put some other threats later
 
I would recommend changing Fire punch to Earthquake on Dragonite so you arnt walled by it. Some heatran forms can really hurt your team when politoed is gone. Im assuming fire punch is for steels (Ferrothorn) but you have magnezone to trap and KO.
 
Hi, DarkCry. I have a few suggestions for your team.

First off, I would like to note that Multiscale Dragonite+Roost is NOT illegal due to the fact that its first evolved form learns roost via leveling up.

With that aside, back to the rate.

Keep Fire Punch on Dragonite, it provides super-effective coverage for Skarmory and Foretress, and you already have a check for Tyranitar in the form of Brick Break on Scizor and Haxorus. Earthquake is an option so it can hit damn Heatran hard. Ehh, the choice between Lum Berry and Leftovers is a tough one. Leftovers keeps multiscale working through hail and sandstorm damage. With the prevailence of sand teams, I would run leftovers just to keep multiscales effect.

Since you have no real way to phaze in the form of Roar/Whirlwind or Yawn, keep perish song on Politoed. It kills set-ups and baton pass chains.

Leftovers on Scizor all the way. You need it to keep it around longer since it lacks the roost. Brick Break is overall more efficient and losing the Attack and Defence isn't worth it if you want it to stick aound for awhile.

I see a Latios weakness here though. It can hit all of your Pokemon with Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse, Hp Fire, and Thunder super-effectively. The LO set can be dangerous since it can switch attacks and still outspeeds all of your Pokemon (bar magnezone and politoed with scarf). Latios can shrug off an un-STABed ice beam from Politoed and then hit it with thunder. Your best bet would be to blow up in its face with magnezone, or hope your Scizor can live hp fire and return fire with Bug Bite.

You team doesn't like taking status whatsoever, perhaps you can make room for armoatherapy on Celebi just ease your worries, but I don't know what you are able to replace.

Just a few nitpicks: Maybe Modest over Timid on Politoed? The extra power will help and it already outspeeds a lot of things with scarf. I can't help but notice your team has a large amount of Choice users, but that's just my thoughts.

Overall, good team. The team covers each others weaknesses to Ice and Electric.

Yeah, I was going to put Latios as a big threat, I'll change to modest on politoed. Thanks alot for your rate! :D
