Other ORAS PU: Rain w/ Pelipper & Zebstrika

[BandedPyroar]

First of all, this team is supposed to be a balance between hyper-offense and hyper-defense. For example, we have Furfrou as an amazing physical tank, (hyper-defense), and belly drum Poliwrath, ready to sweep your team. Furfrou can be an astonishingly good tank with cotton guard & fur coat, allowing him to take Brick Breaks from a +6 Poliwrath. Here is the team:

Seven Nation Army (Zebstrika) @ Life Orb

Doge (Furfrou) @ Leftovers

Shofu (Pelipper) @ Leftovers

EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Rain Dance
- Encore
- Thunder Wave
- U-turn

This team's main purpose is to sweep with my big threats, Armaldo, Poliwrath and Pelipper. Zebstrika is mainly there to bait electric attacks and to dish out tons of special damage. I use volbeat to set up Rain, and I have many other rain setters as well. Surprisingly, Jolly swift swim Armaldo in the rain reaches 414 speed! :O! This can be used to my advantage to get off hard hits with X-Scissor, Knock Off and Earthquake. Rapid Spin is there to counter rocks, spikes, sticky web, etc. Hopefully you can give me your opinion on the team, I just started playing PU and I would like to know if this team is viable or not.

Hi! This rmt does not follow the rmt rules and will be locked, so you might want to fix your rmt. Aside from that, this team really isn't viable in the slightest, so you can try the PU room for some help or VM me when this is unlocked and I'd be happy to rate.

Hello BandedPyroar , and welcome to Smogon!

Unfortunately, this RMT is currently not following the rules which can be found in the RMT Resource Thread; specifically, this thread violates rule #4, because you lack sufficient descriptions for each Pokemon on your team. As such, I am afraid that I will have to lock this thread for the time being. If you would like this thread to be reopened, feel free to PM me with your updated RMT, and I would be happy to reopen this thread for you. If you need help making an RMT up to the required standards, I recommend that you carefully read the RMT Resource Thread and check out other RMTs from the Team Showcase and RMT Archive for some examples.

Good luck with your team, and have a nice day!
