New team, includes a Probopass o_o

Vincents.Zydane

Ok well here we go.

Zapdos
145.png

w/ Life Orb
Modest Nature.
Pressure.
252 SP. ATK, 252 HP, 6 DEF.
-Agility
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power [Ice]
-Roost

This Zapdos is I guess an invention of mine, not being a set on the Analysis and all. I noticed a beautiful base 125 special attack (383 maxed), which got me to make this set. Agility first, then sweep. With roost I can heal off Life Orb damage. I didn't need to invest any speed EVs, 'cuz Zapdos's speed is 225 even without them.

Alakazam

w/ Lum Berry
Timid Nature.
Synchronize.
252 SPEED, 252 SP.ATK, 6 HP.
-Calm Mind
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Psychic

I guess this is pretty self-explanitory. With Lum Berry this is an Anti-Breloom and Anti-Gengar. I've always liked Alakazam.

Hitmontop

w/ Leftovers
Adamant Nature.
Technician.
252 ATK, 252 HP, 6 SP DEF..
-Mach Punch
-Bulk Up
-Bullet Punch
-Stone Edge

Having a priority spammer around is good. I used to have Fake Out over Stone Edge, but then Gyarados gives me problems. This works exceptionally well after I set up Stealth Rock and a layer of spikes or two.

Heracross

w/ Choice Band
Adamant Nature.
Guts.
252 ATK, 252 SPEED, 6 HP.
-Close Combat
-Megahorn
-Shadow Claw
-Sleep Talk

I guess this is a little weird. But this is an Anti-Breloom Hera, I switch in on Spore then use Sleep Talk to hit it when it thinks it's safe (sleep gives me gut boost too). The reason why I chose Shadow Claw over Night Slash/Stone Edge is 100% because this is for Breloom. But of course, not just for Breloom. Cress and Bliss hate CB Heracross as well.

Forretress

w/ Leftovers
Relaxed Nature.
Sturdy.
244 HP, 66 ATK, 200 DEF
-Light Screen
-Spikes
-Gyro Ball
-Explosion

Yes, Light Screen. It supports this thing amazingly well, and let's me get out spikes if I might not be able to or helps me switch to one of my sweepers if I need to. Spread give me magic leftovers number, as well.

Probopass

w/ Leftovers
Calm Nature.
Magnet Pull.
252 HP, 58 SP. ATK, 200 SP. DEF..
-Stealth Rock
-Thunder Wave
-Thunderbolt
-Earth Power

Probopass is underrated. Special wall, Porygon-Z counter, Azelf counter, Yanmega counter, Skarmory counter, Stealth Rocker... so yeah. Plus he looks funny, which adds onto my desire to use him. :pimp:

So there it is Smogon. Help, praise, bash, do your thing.
 
Umm Alakazam is not an Anti-Breloom or Anti-Gengar. Breloom's Focus Punch does a shitload, despite resisting, and Seed Bomb nearly OHKOs. Gengar's Shadow Ball OHKOs 'Zam...
 
Umm In case of which Breloom Focus Punches, I can bring in something else... but it usually spores first, or it subs and then spores while I destroy the sub, and then I can scare it off. if Gar hypnoses, I bring it in and that gets scared away as well.
 
if you switch heracross in on a sleeping move, he will be able to use sleep talk only once since banded. then youll have to switch out.
 
If you're going to use Probopass as a special wall, you're probably going to want a Tyranitar or Hippowdon on this team, since they can raise Probopass's special defense 1.5x with the Sandstorm since Probopass is part Rock.

He's honestly not that great of a Porygon-Z counter since lots of P-Z have HP Fighting, which P-Pass is 4x weak to...

On Zapdos, I'd really recommend having it reach at least 250 speed before the Agility. The reason being that you don't want to get completely screwed when you're slower than Garchomp and can't pull off your HP Ice in time. ScarfChomp can get up to 499 speed, so after an agility you can reach 500 speed with 250 before, which is why I'm recommending that.

You have 2 pokemon weak to Fire, and no pokemon resisting it. You might want to fix that.

Standstorm Makes probopass a beast. I use the probopass in my thread for my Sand Storm team. It takes 4 ice beams from a max s.attack P-Z to break the sub it makes. I use Substitute on my probopass so that i can get an extra hit, or t-wave, on Salamence or anything else that would OHKO him .

Okay how do you counter Breloom and Gengar again? Nothing on your team can handle its Stone Edges, and nothing can absorb Spore(except Heracross who is sketchy at that.) Even Zapdos isn't in too good of shape due to it not having defense EVs.

Gengar still owns Alakazam.

So your team is raped by scarfran....milotic over probapass plz.

Don't say "plz", or no one's going to take your rate seriously.

Anyway, Scarftran against this team is just like any other Choicer. You just have to predict what the thing's gonna do. I did tell him about the Fire weak so I guess you have a point there. Probo can come in on Fire moves no problem from Scarftran though, and Zapdos can come in on Earth Power.
