Hey people this is my first RMT. Ive been in the competitive online battling Scene for quite some time now but ive been on a losing streak lately and i need some help with trying to fix up my team.
-------------------------------------
Forretress@ cutsap berry/ impish
-------------------------------------
252 HP/ 178 DEF/ 80 SPDEF
~stealth rock
~toxic spikes
~rapid spin
~explosion
Forretress is my lead and does its job very well. I set up entry hazards and if i see them setting up anything dangerous i switch to a counter, eliminate the threat and switch back in too blow it away. By the time forretress is done with its job it usually has low health so cutsap berry is a great way for me to switch in and eliminate a potential sweeper.
----------------------------------
Scizor@ choice band/ adamant
----------------------------------
4 HP/ 252 ATK/ 252 SPE
~bullet punch
~u-turn
~super power
~pursuit
scizor is my revenge killer who almost always gets me a KO when i switch him in. The set is pretty self-explanitory. predict correctly and get a KO. I usually start off with a u-turn to scout magnezone as it would do a lot of damage to my team. Scizor is the best revenge killer you can get, however it adds another 4x fire weakness to my team.
--------------------------------
Gengar@ choice specs/ timid
--------------------------------
4 HP/ 252 SP ATK/ 252 SPE
~trick
~shadow ball
~psychic
~thunderbolt
this is my wall breaker and it is very effective. If im up against something that could OHKO me i attack and usually, with specs boost, OHKO if i anticipate a blissey switch i trick and cripple it right off the bat. After that i shuffle the items of their team. Gengar also serves as a rapid spin blocker and its my only counter for taunt gyarados other than mass explosions. The earthquake resistance is also very useful when escaping from heatran counters.
-----------------------------------
Heatran@ choice scarf/ rash
-----------------------------------
4 HP/ 252 SP ATK/ 252 SPE
~flamethrower
~dragon pulse
~earth power
~explosion
my final choicer and my counter for fire types and magnezone. Its the typical scarftran set. Again this set relies on predictions which i rarely get wrong. I've never used explosion so i might want to use something else but i dont know what. Heatran is a great answer to skarmory that messes up bronzong and dragonite. I also comes in rather easily with the abundance of steeal types that Draw in fire attacks
--------------------------------
Bronzong@ leftovers/ impish
--------------------------------
252 HP/ 80 DEF/ 178 SP DEF
~flash cannon
~hypnosis
~calm mind
~iron defence
due to the short life span of forretress, i decided i needed a mixed wall which bronzong fits the job for. I usually switch in on a resisted choice attack and comence setting up my defences. I can also use hypnosis to stop a sweeper from setting up and in turn put up my own defences. Flash cannon is the best form of attack with this set due to its
lack of immunities unlike psychic. I have had many sweeps with this set.
-----------------------------------
Dragonite@ leftovers/ adamant
-----------------------------------
224 HP/ 84 ATK/ 200 SPE
~dragon dance
~dragon claw
~earthquake
~fire punch
this is my attempt at a sweep And the only pokemon in my team that could be labeled as a sweeper. I usually bring him out late in the game and set up a dragon dance and see how it goes from there. This set is very good for picking up the scraps at the end. I chose not to use roost for fire punch and more type coverage.
