My Spring 2013 Team

[nesgirl119]

I am only a beginner and I don't know how to RNG (I try to, but always get strange error messages), so I just got together some Pokémon I was given by some people and created a team to use in Spring 2013 (a combination of OU and Ubers and I hardly even used any Ubers despite facing them in battle actually).

Reuniclus
Focus Sash
Psychic
Focus Blast
Trick Room
Shadow Ball

I tend to use it as a "Suicide lead" since I know very well it will likely only survive 2 attacks as soon as I put up Trick Room. If I could only use Destiny Bond or Healing Wish, it would really be much easier.

Tyranitar
Choice Band
Crunch
Pursuit
Stone Edge
Superpower

I am considering replacing pursuit, since it doesn't do hardly anything to my opponents even if they retreat. Trick Room really helps Tyranitar

Metagross
Leftovers
Meteor Mash
Bullet Punch
Earthquake
Stealth Rock

I am thinking about an all offensive Trick Room Metagross with 0 IVs Speed, because it does extremely well in Trick Room, even KO'ing Kyruem W and Genesect (though it would help if it knew another attack like Hammer Arm which would actually strengthen it in Trick Room)

Excadrill
(actually I am not even going to say much since I only used him once or twice out of the 50 times I battled since I found him completely worthless and since he is UBER, I mostly used the top 3 Pokémon seen above)


Gliscor
Toxic Orb
Substitute
Protect
Earthquake
Toxic

Just a last minute add in

Espeon
Light Clay
Reflect
Light Screen
Hidden Power Fighting
Psyshock

Last Minute add in


Here are some of the other Pokémon I had given to me (though I doubt they could be of any use on a TR sand team):

Ferrothorn (I was afraid of too many Ground-type weaknesses)
Leftovers
Stealth Rock
Power Whip
Leech Seed
Gyro Ball

Actually I would have replaced one of the attacks with Spikes if I only knew how to breed.

Thundurus
Life Orb
Thunder Wave
Thunder
Hidden Power Ice
Volt Switch

I didn't want him to get damaged in the sand

Ninetales
Air Balloon
Fire Blast
Hidden Power
Will-O-Wisp
SolarBeam

I don't need 2 weather changers

Jolteon
Choice Specs
Shadow Ball (could replace with Signal Beam)
Hidden Power Ice
Thunderbolt
Volt Switch
I didn't think it would do well in a field full of Ubers

Vaporeon
Leftovers
Wish
Protect
Scald
Toxic
I cannot use more than 1 Leftovers user on the field.

Actually I only used it to get started in battling and all I really want to know is if I made any mistakes based on the Pokémon I had available.

you need to add nature, ability, ev's and have at least three lines in the description of each pokemon. Check out the rmt archives or the rmt rules

this team looks cool but one big problem is that three are weak to the very common Earthquake. I definately think reuniclus could use the leftovers over focus sash and metagross could take an occa berry or the air balloon. Volcarona would be a big issue for this team if it sets up before you get stealth rocks out. You should post excadrill's info because he really isnt so terrible. Maybe give gliscor ice fang over toxic to gain some offensive pressure.

Hi,

I moved this to the appropriate forum (guessing its not OU because you have ubers). Aside from that, this team is in violation of a few RMT Rules, mainly Rules #2 and #4. Try to expand your descriptions to include why you chose that specific set and why that specific Pokemon over another option. Also its best to post your sets in this format:

format

Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 156 HP / 252 Atk / 100 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Superpower

as it is much easier to read and understand (your current format lacks natures and EVs). If you would like to see examples of this, it would be best to look at the RMT Archive.

On a side note, I'm not entirely sure what format you are trying to play, but if its singles you can only have 6 Pokemon.

PM me your updates and I will unlock this thread.
