My way MetaBOSS-Team

19Creature94

19Creature94

I wanted to create a team around my favorite Pokemon, Metagross. With the Gen 6 changes and his new Weakness to Ghost and Dark especially with special attacks i choise this build on my MetaBOSS

MetaBOSS (Metagross) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Clear Body
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 96 Atk / 252 HP / 160 SDef
Adamant Nature
IVs: 30 HP
- Earthquake
- Thunder Punch
- Power-Up Punch
- Bullet Punch

I filled in Honchkrow because i think he is a beast in UU and a great Revenge Killer. The set itself is pretty standart i think, but i chose Lum-Berry over Live Orb cuz i wanted Honchkrow to not suicide with Brave Bird and also this way you cant cripple it with one Will-O-Wisp.

Honchkrow @ Lum Berry
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
IVs: 30 HP
- Sucker Punch
- Superpower
- Brave Bird
- Roost

My Opening Pokemon with a lot of Options. Set up Rocks? Switch out with U-Turn? or kick ass with Close Combat and Flamethrower? This badass Hybrit attacker in combination with Focus sash and his great speed belongs to the strongest in UU...why the heck is that thing UU

Infernape @ Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SAtk
Hasty Nature
- Close Combat
- Flamethrower
- U-turn
- Stealth Rock

Standart Mega-Blastoise for Spinning with great offensive viability. Can hit nearly everyone with his great SpA

Blastoise @ Blastoisinite
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 SAtk / 160 HP / 96 SDef
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Aura Sphere
- Water Pulse
- Dragon Pulse
- Rapid Spin

Every team needs this beautiful Support..in my opinion. Its so strong as a Wall to check UU special threats, can heal your team and getting rid of burn, paralyze etc. I really like it.

Umbreon @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 Def
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Foul Play
- Wish
- Heal Bell
- Toxic

This Bug in UU? it is nearly unstopable with one good switch in, which results in 1-2 Quiver Dances. Great defensive Bulk with the possibility to get heald by Roost? same with Infernape..why is that UU?

Volcarona @ Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 204 Def / 252 HP / 52 Spd
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Bug Buzz
- Fiery Dance
- Quiver Dance
- Roost

I really like this team but i am open for criticism.. plz be not so harsh :D
 
Hey there! Just so You know Smogon's kind of a stickler for formatting rules, you should have at least 3 lines per pokemon as per what their role is, why you chose them, how they cover certain things, and things like that that help raters get to know your team a bit better. There's a rules thing pinned on the RMT page so you might want to check that out.

I took your team and played around with it for a few battles, I like how you can flow into switches with it, plus the good power o all the pokemon on the team. Anyway, onto the rate.

I was confused about power-up punch on Metagross, but upon testing it found that it proved fantastic or setting up and sweeping. It counters florges pretty well and overall has good type coverage Note: I do think you should include Meteor Mash somewhere, Whether replacing Bullet Punch or Thunder Punch. You don't have to, but I think it could help out late game. You should also consider switching AV out for some LO.

Volcorona is good on this team, the two-fire types hasn't hindered me in the slightest. This might just be my personal battle style (all-out attack rather than taking turns to set up) but I think a Giga drain + Big root set > Roost. With +1 from quiver dance it helps get rid of bulky water types like milotic and hippowdon and you still regain HP, but this switch is p to you as the roost set you have works great.

Maybe a different item on Honchkrow, you already have Umbreon to get rid of statuses, so the lum berry isn't really necessary, I'd switch it out for something like a white herb, left overs, or life orb (since it has roost).

Other praise:
I like SR on Infernape, he's one of my favorite guys on the team. You can put up rocks and u-turn out into Honchkrow to avoid ground attacks.
Your Umbreon is a great support mon.

Overall I like the flow and style of this team. Just a few tweaks and I think it'll get up there on the ladder! Good luck!
 
Interesting team you have here. I have a few points though...
1. Can you explain the ev spread on metagross? Any particular reason for 96hp and 160 sp def evs?
2. If its possible id recommend scarf ape over your current set. Your team doesnt have an answer to volc. Scarf ape with stone edge can check +1 volc with stone edge. If you want stealth rocks, then drop ass vest on metagross and fit rocks on there. You could run a suicide metagross set now that im thinking about it with sr, explosion with normal gem, meteor mash and earthquake.
3. You have to change that blastoise set. Aura sphere should be changed to dark pulse to hit spinblockers hard. And ice beam over d pulse to hit grass types that soak up your water attacks.also, change water pulse to hydro pump. The power increase is quite noticable and ypu wont regret it.
4. Im not really sure lum berry honch is a good fit for your team. Would you consider sd lucario in its place? Espeed andpriority are getting popular with lucario and fletch and they can bypass your sucketpunch simply by speed creeping boosting or attacking.
5. Umbreons okay.
6. Bulky moth is cool too
 
1. not a quite particular reason for this exact spread but i wanted more spd than atk in evs to take those special hitting dark/ghost attacks

2. my counter for volc is playing around my stealth rocks, which makes it hard for my opponent to use volc very effective. I force him to play around the rocks, i know its not that hard to use spinners etc, but i can just predict easier when my opponent will use volc. Also i can counter him with honchkrow cuz brave bird hits hard and with lum berry i can counter possible burn.
I also like the focus sash on ape cuz i can open with him, setup rocks and uturn out or do huge dmg cuz i outspeed most enemies in uu.

3. i like the aura sphere on blastoise just to counter lucario. He cant OKO Blast but i can with aura sphere. i also like using dragon pulse cuz i can hit most enemies with its great power. Will try it tho, also will try the hydrp pump

4. Honchkrow is, as far as i know this team, the most consistent part. He always does his job in cleaning up doing revenge kills. Also i have to say the lum berry helpd me alot, cuz everytime my opponent tryd a thunder wave or will-o-wisp to try to stop my moxie boosted honch they fail and give him one more moxie boost

5. I love umbreon..especially the beautiful shiney (aswell for metaboss)

6. yea the moth is so tanky
