What the title says. I'm not a good player by any means, and I'm certainly not good at building teams, but I think I might actually ask for help this time. I peaked at about 1250 on PS's ladder and I don't have any problems with Venomoth or the like, but I would like help to make my team the best it can be. I borrowed some sets from other RMT's, so don't be mad.
Veruc (Weezing) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 SAtk / 252 HP / 252 Def
Bold Nature
- Flamethrower
- Will-O-Wisp
- Thunderbolt
- Sludge Bomb
Despite his crackhead appearance, this dude has been more help than I could imagine. I can take Hariyama CC's all day, same with pretty much every other physical attack. I picked Will-O-Wisp over other options simply because I find it more useful than anything else, It cripples physical attackers just as good as any Prankster Mon could. I picked Weezing because I thought it would go well with my team and it exceeded my expectations.
Conference Call (Omastar) @ Life Orb
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Modest Nature
- Earth Power
- Shell Smash
- Surf
- Ice Beam
Handy with a broom, Omastar is my go-to guy when it comes to sweeping. I picked Omastar over Gorebyss or Barbaracle because I think Omastar is a better sweeper, not to mention I've had some bad Gorebyss experiences in the past. This is a pretty basic Omastar in that it just does what Omastar does, SS then sweep. The only problem I have is finding the right time to set up, though I'd imagine that's more user error than Omastar being frail.
Skullmasher (Hariyama) @ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 4 SDef / 252 HP / 252 Atk
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Close Combat
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
Power, POWER, MORE POWER! BIG HANDS! The strategy with Hariyama is: Fake Out, CC/Bullet Punch/Knock Off, switch. I use him as a light/mid/heavy damage pivot that can take a hit, although I'd like to try out a Belly Drum set at some point. I picked him for my team because I thought he'd work well as something semi-bulky to obliterate special attackers with on the switch in, sort of like the opposite of my Weezing, but more often than not I end up killing myself with a misclick or a stupid move on my part.
Hellfire (Typhlosion) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Eruption
- Extrasensory
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Grass]
My personal favorite Mon out of the team. He's basically a less bulky Hariyama, or at least I use him that way. I know that the rules state that I need at least 3 lines of text, but I'm not quite sure what to say. He obliterates everything that doesn't resist Eruption, and if they do he has a whole arsenal of moves backing him up. He just wrecks major face every time he comes in to contact with something. I picked him for no other reason than Typhlosion is my second Favorite Mon in my favorite tier.
Flakker (Uxie) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 176 Spd / 252 HP / 80 Def
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Zen Headbutt
- Knock Off
- U-turn
My lead, my MVP, my best friend. If you don't predict properly then Uxie will kick you to the f*cking curb and drop you like you're a hobo's retainer. But if he can't take you on he can straight-up leg it out of there with U-Turn and go to Hariyama or Sneasel. I'm pretty much guaranteed to get my rocks up in a match with this dude in tow, and I can use Sneasel to pursuit trap Xatu. Not much to say except that Uxie is the biggest stone cold badass you've ever seen. I picked Uxie because I like Uxie, not much else to say.
Shredifier (Sneasel) @ Life Orb
Ability: Pickpocket
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Ice Punch
- Ice Shard
- Pursuit
Now I actually can't think of anything to say, I mean, it's SNEASEL. He can pursuit trap or Ice Shard or Knock off pretty much anything. He will generally mess your day up if you get in his way. I picked him because I needed something to take care of Xatu and Sneasel can do so much more than that. There's a reason he's called "Shredifier".
