Hello everyone, I'm fairly new, and i have been testing this team over shoddy for a little while and have really take a liking to it; the stratagy is to use my lead, walls, and "secret wepon" to wear my opponents down which will lead to a sweep via my last two pokemon. any comments would be very much apprecated! :D
Areodactyl @ focus sash
jolly; pressure.
EVs 252attack, 252speed, 4hp
- taunt
- SR
- EQ
- stone edge
pretty standard dactyl, and in this team getting the stealth rock up is especially clutch. A main strategy in the early game is to force a lot of switches and this guy really helps. a few games i keep him at 1hp on the bench and send him in a death faughter, or to force and obvious EQ miss.
Tentacruel @ black sludge
calm; liquid ooze
EVs 252hp, 252def, 4spc.d
- toxic spikes
- rapid spin!
- ice beam
- surf
im such a fan of this pokemon now, and it is pretty self-explanitory. toxic spikes is very important for the early game, and i often find myself going to this guy right after aerodactyl all the time. surf and i-beam are just for coverage, and rapid spin makes sure my secret wepon can be most effective.
Bronzong @ light clay
relaxed; heatproof
EVs 252hp, 156def, 102spc.d
- hypnosis
- reflect
- light screen
- gyro ball
i try to use this wall with as much subtlety as possible. Leaving him in on fire attackers, trying to make them think ill go into tentacruel; setting up screens and holding hypnosis as long as i can untill i can bust it out against an unsuspecting sweeper. pretty simple. it is also sweet to send this guy in to get paralyzed and boost gyro ball for later.

lonely; wonder gaurd!!!
EVs 252attack, 252speed, 4def..?
- WoW
- sucker punch
- shadow sneak
- protect
yes. this. is. the. secret wepon. on the surface it seems pretty silly; im not going to lie, but i made this as a joke and it ended up winning me games. when you have rocks and spikes up this forces the switch and going in and out with this and a wall can stall for a while. so you burn and protect, scouting their moveset. and fluidly switching out again. his attack is fairly good so shadow sneak can do away with a few pokemon after two turns of burn damage. sucker punch is something very few people see coming and really hits hard if used correctly. note: if they are poisoned, switch into the ninja, protect, then switch into whatever wall is most effective.
Metagross @ choice scarf
jolly; clear body
EVs 202hp, 252attack, 56 speed
- meteor mash
- EQ
- explosion
- trick
the first time metagross hits the field, i most likely have it mash and continue to do so untill i switch out, in other words make it known to have a scarf. the next time it comes out it tricks, and often will explode on the switch depending on hp. gross is an absolute beast and i take a lot of kids out by scarfing a wall keeping it stuck on something stupid :3
Salamance @ choice specs
rash; intimedate
EVs 4attack, 252spc.a, 252speed
- draco meteor
- flamethrower
- hydro pump
- brick break
this guy could use some work.. but the plan is to make it appear as if i am going to do an obvious (send it out against a scizor to presumably fire attack it) and draco meteor for massive damage. or just attack based on what is needed.
~thank you all for reading and i hope you can provide some good suggestions!~
Nuge.
