My Ss Team

[DMP]

Hi there! I have been working on this team for some time now and I have come to this team who has worked well but still have some issues, so I come here to get my team rated and to take this team to it's fullest potential so here is:

Team at a glance

In depth:

Tyranitar @ Focus sash
Ability: Sandstream
Evs: 174 Atk / 84 Spe / 252 Sp. Atk
Rash Nature (+SpA, -SpD)
-Dark Pulse
-Ice beam
-Flamethrower
-Superpower

My lead focus sash tyranitar. I took this set after viewing some RMT and decided to give it a try and it have worked very well for me. Dark pulse is for those annoying azelfs that trick or stealth rock and obviously for STAB. Ice beam 2HKOs hippowdon and OHKOs things like salamence, flygon, gliscor. Flamethrower is for forretres, skarmory, scizor, mainly to hurt steels. Superpower puts a large dent in heatran and blissey and OHKOs other tyranitar leads.

The speed evs allow me to be faster than skarmory and choice band tyranitar among other slow stuff. Rash nature to maximize his special atack. The evs in atack to maximize superpower damage.

Bronzong @ Choice Band
Ability: Levitate
Evs: 252 HP / 84 Atk / 80 Def / 92 SpD
Sassy Nature (+SpD, -Spe)
-Stealth rock
-Gyro ball
-Explosion
-Trick

Bronzong is my wall and my tricker, it also set up stealth rock. I was having trouble with dd outrages so that's why I choose him. Stealth rock to help take out those salamences and gyarados. Gyro ball for those speedy threats. Explosion is when something isn't going right and also one way to stop dd kingdra, calm mind suicune and swampert, generally bulky waters. Trick to counter another tricker aiming at my blissey or bronzong. Also to ruin walls and is another option to stop stat uppers, specially oriented of course.

That's my team and I think my only hope to dd kingdra because I always explode when he is locked on outrage. I'm thinking to change the evs spread for another more defensive, but I need some opinions.

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
Evs: 252 HP / 236 Def / 20 SpD
Impish Nature (+Def, -SpA)
-Waterfall
-Dragon Dance
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

Gyarados is my answer to scizor and fighting moves. Waterfall for STAB and to stop heatran, infernape etc. Stone edge help to take out salamence, gyarados and other flyers. Rest and sleep talk because I needed something to absorb status and my answer to breelom too. I used to have a standard dd gyara but it died very fast, then I tried bulky gyara but also died fast, then I opt for the sleeptalker set and it worked better, also with rest + intimidate this gyara is one of the last to take down in my team and handles scizor and other powerful physical attackers fine.

It is my only chance to do something against a swords dance scizor and breelom, so that's why I miss a little the speed and atk of the other sets.

Edit: Added dragon dance on gyarados

Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Evs: 252 Def / 80 SpA / 176 SpD
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
-Wish
-Protect
-Flamethrower
-Toxic

Blissey is my special wall and my wisher. Wish to support the team and also helps gyara and bronzong to last long. Softboiled to recover damage faster than wish, but I also stall with wish and softboiled + toxic + stealth rock+ sandstorm. Flamethrower to those incoming scizors and heracross, but also helps me to handle steels when tyranitar has fainted. Toxic is one of my options to take bulky waters and flyers too. Works better when bronzong has tricked for example a calm mind suicune then I just switch to blissey and stall with toxic and softboiled.

Blissey helps me to handle bulky waters that cause me some problems with this team. Thinking to maybe change it to a calm mind blissey because I only have tyranitar as a special attacker and I think I need another but I don't know.

Edit: Added protect over softboiled to scout attacks and recover with wish

Scizor @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
Evs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-X-Scissor
-Superpower

Scizor with the standard swords dance set and my late game sweeper. Swords dance to increase his high attack. Bullet punch for STAB + Technician + Life orb to hurt a lot also helps me to revenge kill things. X-Scissor for STAB and to handle cresselia and celebi. Superpower for those threats that resist bullet punch or x-scissor and also can hurt a heatran that switch in.

Usually scizor comes in when I have the field clear to sweep, but also when something has been tricked it has the chance to do a swords dance and start to sweep.

Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
Evs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 172 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-U-Turn
-Stone Edge

Flygon is my revenge killer. I was looking for something fast so I choose this
and because the inmunity to sandstorm and resistance to stealth rock. Outrage for STAB and my answer to kill dragons and other weak sturff. Earthquake to kill some threads like heatran, infernape, steels etc. U-turn if flygon comes early in the battle to scout enemys team. Stone edge to hurt zapdos aiming at my gyarados.

The speed evs let me outrun scarf heatran and other things because of the scarf. The evs in HP just to make him a little bulky.

Flygon covers well with gyarados and also can stop earthquakes aiming to tyranitar. It can revenge kill some important threats that otherwise will hurt my team a lot.

So that's all of my team, I hope get some important suggestions to make this team better. I tried to do the best to explain my team.

Alright. Fresh meat to breed my sour infection in.

I like your team overall, i do. For a second i thought you meant choice scarf bronzong lol.

Mence is doing serious ouching to everyone but gyara. Only gyara and zong can really stop him- and if hes not outraging, fire attacks will slay the zong. And i should use a resttalk gyara for my scizor problem, maybe. Hmmm. never tried a resttalker, or even a bulky one. Btw Normal/Water hits almost everything neutral, but for you in OU Stone Edge is probably better.

If your bronzong is a physical attacker, i'd say switch to metagross. It can run the exact same set, and more.

This is better than a bump!

 

[DMP]

gg Thanks, at least one person say something and yes mence is a problem for my team especially mixmence, I switch to bronzong to take an earthquake or draco meteor and then take the life orb fireblast to finally get the ko with choice band gyro ball, but if bronzong is down, even sleeptalker gyara take serious damage with life orb draco meteor. I would consider metagross but I think would be in the same situation with mence maybe if I put a scarf and ice punch. Im thinking for a replacement for scizor, it hits hard but it is not doing very much for the team, any suggestion would be nice.

 

[Articanus]

The problem I see is a lack of a way to really beat down stall in general. Especially the common Skarm/Rotom/Bliss combination that in-theory seems to wall your team indefinitely. Other than your sash starter, which stays no longer than turn 5, correct?

First I want you to consider running Choice Band Flygon: this makes it a great switch into Celebi, which will then be forced to eat a U-Turn or switch, allowing you to easily keep your offensive momentum. Also use Fire Blast to hit skarm, though that's going to require prediction on your part. iirc with SR and SS you shold be able to grab the needed 2HKO on Cresselia, who also poses problems to this team with protect.

A great fix to this proble would be to use Dragon Dance on Gyarados, which makes it a potent sweeping force and doesn't let it sit there as the last pokemon "doing nothing". You also have a great switch-in to it's usual counter, Celebi, and over time you should be able to wear it down.

 

[Vincent_Valentine_4]

The Ttar lead is amazing I'm not sure if it's you who I battled who had it but wow that thing is awesome it gave me huge problems early. Also Heatran laughs at your Blisey but then it can only explode in return and nothing on your team is immune to explosion just resists but it will still take a nice chunk out. Maybe a good old Rotom on your team to help take some hits and possibly set up a reflect or so. I just have no idea who to replace it with to be honest.

 

[panamaxis]

This team looks pretty solid. I'd suggest changing your tyranitar to the CB version. To add on to what articanus was saying this will help you beat stall as after you eliminate their zapdos / rotom / celebi you can sweep with gyarados. It would make a better counter to zapdos, which would help scizor sweep as well.

Well thats all i can see thats the problem, nice team.

 

[DMP]

thanks, I will try choice band flygon and also choice band tyranitar to see what works better.
