My Trickroom Abusing Team :)

[poketime7]

Team at first glance!:

Team Breakdown:

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/152 Atk/8 Def/96 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Trick Room
- Gyro Ball

Alright so this is ma lead pokemon what i usually do is take a hit and lay down hypnosis for a nice clean trickroom setup gyroball for the nice OTR setup and then the explosion if i get into a sticky situation or get taunted.

Slowking (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 SDef
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Trick Room
- Surf
- Nasty Plot
- Ice Beam

this is my usually my next choice if my bronzong failed to setup the trickroom or had to go boom surf stab along with nasty plot if i get the chance to demolish grounds and those pesky houndooms i have been seeing often and ice beam to take out myy grass type weakness.
---

Porygon2 @ Leftovers
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 HP/120 Def/136 SAtk
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Trick Room
- Thunderbolt

My Porygon2 is the one i call for mid battle as it can take some hits and is able to sustain itself with recover and to ward off any gyarados salamence and dragonite.

Machamp (M) @ Macho Brace
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 244 HP/248 Atk/16 SDef
Brave nature (+Atk, -Spd)

---

Marowak (M) @ Thick Club
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/ 4 Def
Brave nature (+Atk, -Spd)

Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 SAtk
Brave nature (+Atk, -Spd)

And lastly my executor i actually couldnt really think of anything so i dropped him in and he isnt that bad he is used the same way as my bronzong except this is my 'sacrifice' so to speak the focus sash to well help me get my last sleep powder or trick room off or give me time to blow up :) ... i like explosions sue me :p
---

um i think its safe to put this here but i this team is really weak against stauses due to my lack of a cleric and i dont know where to squeese one in and also entry hazards are also really irritating to me... thank you for reading and i look forward to your comments! :)

Ok, firstly you need to understand a few things.
a) What happens if you can't get Trick Room up thanks to Taunt Leads? Well then your whole team is fucked, its GG right there and then. Thats why all TR teams need to have a proficient priority user, or fast pokemon, [ie. Scizor or Gengar]
b) using Focus Sash on a non lead, when you have a slow non taunt lead and no rapid spinner is stupid.

I am not going to bother with a full rate, since I highly doubt you have even tested this team, or even put any effort into making this team.

 

[poketime7]

i have been testing this team all day o.o and wen i coem across taunt leads i usually have to use explosion...... and for spinners i was aware of that and im trying to find one to use and yea th focus sash has somewhat been proven pointlessand im currently changing .......thanks for ur opinion tho :)

If that's your general plan to Taunt leads, then something is wrong there....

If you really want to set up TR and keep a bulky lead, I would suggest Uxie > Bronzong. Uxie has respectable speed, much more than Zong, and has access to U-Turn, which can be used to your advantage should you face an unfavorable lead. Uxie would still keep your team's synergy, as well as Azelf. If you want Speed and the ability to stop spiking leads cold (which your team absolutely hates), then Azelf > Uxie.

It also looks like your team is heavily weak to bulky waters as well as stall. The fact that Zong can't do jackshit to spiking leads is not helping you either. Porygon2 is also horrible against stall. It gets set up on by Tress, which is bad news when only one Pokemon resists both Toxic Spikes and Spikes. I would suggest Jirachi > Porygon2 for this reason. Jirachi is able to threaten Forretress and Skarm, to an extent, with Fire Punch. On top of that, he is also able to set up TR, which your team needs. Here's the set:

Jirachi @ Occa Berry
Serene Grace
252 HP | 252 Atk | 6 SpDef // 0 Spe IVs
Brave Nature
Iron Head l Trick Room l Thunderpunch l Fire Punch

I also see Scarf Tyranitar or any other Tyranitar ripping this team apart via Crunch. Scarf Tar is able to outspeed every single member of your team, and just start spamming Crunch. Non-Scarf Tar is also able to run amok should you be under TR. I highly suggest you have a Scizor somewhere on this team, most notably the SD set. Scizor would be able to set up SD's should Tyranitar be stuck on Crunch spam; while in TR, you can spend the 3/4 turns that TR is up to set up +6 to sweep with max BP. Just use the standard SD set.

I don't see why you are running Focus Sash on your Gutor when your team is practically vulnerable to EH. Gutor also adds to your Tyranitar weakness. So to help you out, I would recommend using Gallade > Exeggutor. Gallade would also be able to set up TR. As a plus, Gallade can be your Gyara check. Here's the set:

Gallade @ Life Orb / Leftovers
Steadfast
8 HP | 252 Atk | 250 Def // 0 Spe IVs
Brave Nature
Trick Room l Close Combat l Night Slash l Stone Edge

I would recommend you testing Slowbro > Slowking because of its higher defense. In a metagame of physical hitters, I can see Slowbro abusing Calm Mind to boost up its SpDef, thus making it bulky on both sides of the spectrum. Simply use the standard set.


I hope I helped.

You're right. I was thinking about Lucario for some reason when I wrote that.

Sorry for totally overhauling your team...... I know I shouldn't be doing that as a team rater. I guess I got carried away...

 

[poketime7]

aaahhh thanks a bunch for clarifying but wouldnt a cleric pokemon be more viable for my status weakness? not saying no to the snorelax just asking about a cleric option :)

If you want. But what can Blissey do for your team? Vaporeon could work, but it can't do anything offensively to abuse TR. Dragonite would work, since it maintains synergy for your team. But RestTalk still provides that offensive pressure under TR, as well as provide as a status absorber. But it's your choice.

Cleric Dragonite, or RestTalk Snorlax

I think I have done enough. So I'm gonna let other raters do their jobs as well.

 

[poketime7]
