After the edits made to my previous team, there was one thing that I found my team hated. There were NO recovery moves in the entire team, and, as a result, SR damage from switch-ins, and Life Orb damage, ect, were piling up. I also found that Garados wasn't pulling an awful lot of weight in the team, often coming in, taking 25% damage, failing to OHKO after a Dragon Dance only to be killed in return (Or worse, miss altogether with Stone Edge on a Salamance, and get hit my a Draco Meteor).
As a result, I switched my Garados to the very bulky healer that I have trouble with usually. Vaporeon.
So, without further ado:
Lead:
Swampert@Leftovers
Relaxed
EV's: 240 HP, 216 Def, 52 sp.attack
Moves:
Earthquake
Ice Beam
Protect
Stealth Rock
Notes: With Swampert, I can scout leads such as Azelf, to see if they are carrying Grass Knot, a OHKO on Swampert, and other leads as well. Setting up SR is always nice. Swampert hits all common leads for at least Neutral damage, and Metagross, Jirachi, Tyranitar, Aerodactyl and Ninjask for Super-Effective damage, scoring a OHKO or a 2HKO. Protect is also endlessly useful when I predict something might explode.
Scizor@Choice Band
Adamant Nature
EV's: 248 HP, 252 Attack, 8 Speed (Debating to move some from HP to Speed)
Moves:
Bullet Punch
Persuit
Superpower
U-Turn
Notes: Standard Scizor. If something's on low HP, and I bring Scizor out, or weak to Persuit, my foes often just sacrifice it to bring out something that forces Scizor to switch.
Rotom-H @ Choice Scarf
Timid Nature
EV's: 6HP, 252 Speed, 252 sp.attack
Moves:
Trick
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Overheat
Notes: My Wall-crippler, and a revenge killer. Most people expect a Rotom to be slow, not this one, and they are shocked as their unscarfed Gengar, Lucario, Garados, ect gets OHKO'ed by a SE attack. Blissys, Shuckles, Skarmorys, ect, beware, this thing WILL Trick-scarf you. (Once, I had a LOL moment when a scarf Jirachi used Trick on this thing. Scarf for Scarf.)
Infernape@Life Orb
Timid Nature
EV's: 64 attack, 192 speed, 252 sp.attack
Moves:
Close Combat
FlameThrower
Grass Knot
Thunderpunch
Notes: I need help with Thunderpunch. Origionally, I thought it could score a OHKO on a Garados that came in on SR. It can't, if it's invested in HP/Def. As a result, I need a replacement move.
Infernape and Rotom are quite a good combo, as neither share any weaknesses. Rotom absorbs EQ's, and Infernape dosen't massivly mind coming in on a Shadow Ball or a Dark attack every now and then.
Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Bold
EVS: 188 HP, 252 Def, 68 Speed
Moves:
Toxic
Protect
Wish
Surf
Notes:
Anything without rest, or is not resistant to Surf and part Steel/Posion hates this thing. But, Vaporeon plays a more vital role. A lot of my team switches a lot, and hence, takes a ton of residual damage. Wish helps to lessen that. Great when you get to heal up your battered sweepers, so they are suddenly in a position to take an attack again.
Electrivire @ Expert Belt (Toying with using a Life Orb)
EV's: 36 Attack, 252 Speed, 222 sp.attack
Rash Nature
Moves:
Thunderbolt
Flamethrower
Brick Break
HP Ice
Notes:
Elec' is greatly underestimated. When someone comes at me with a predictable T-Bolt/Wave, this monster comes in, ready to sweep. Expert Belt is good, due to most things getting a SE hit from one of the 4 types this thing hits with, but Life Orb can help with the others.
BTW, the amount of Scizor who stay in against this thing, only to be OHKO'ed by Flamethrower... insane.
Threats list:
#1 Scizor - Scizor dosen't like facing Swampert much, taking heavy damage. Rotom OHKO's it and outspeeds it, and Elec does the same. Vaporeon can also defeat it with Wish, Protect and Surf.
#2 Salamence - Swampert destroys these. Electrivire can beat it if it's got a speed boost. Scizor defeats it unless it's packing Fire Blast. Vaporeon can come in and Toxic-stall Salamances that havn't set-up yet, and have fired a Draco Meteor.
#3 Gyarados - Rotom. Eletrivire works too. Infernape can take a large chunk out of it's HP as well.
#4 Heatran - Swampert and Vaporeon do well. Infernape deals a lot of damage to it with Close Combat.
#5 Infernape - Swampert fails to be OHKO'ed by those without Grass Knot, and OHKO's back. Vaporeon can stall it. Rotom can defeat it if it's weakened, with a Thunderbolt.
#6 Metagross - Swampert 2HKO's these, as does Rotom. Rotom walls Metagross as well, resisting MM, and being immune to both EQ and Explosion.
#7 Tyranitar - Anything not named Rotom in my team can 2HKO it at least, although, Elec' will die to an EQ if it dosen't OHKO.
#8 Swampert - First thing I have some trouble with. Infernape can OHKO it, and outspeed it, but, to get it in, I often have to sacrifice. Vaporeon can defeat Rest-less Swamperts, and my Swampert is a toss-up to defeat them.
#9 Blissey - My team's mainly physical, so Blissy is no trouble. Even Rotom can defeat it with Trick Scarfing.
#10 Gengar - Scarfless Gengars are killed by Rotom. Scarfed Gengars are dealt with by Scizor... as long as they don't use a Fire Move. (Bullet Punch deals a shedload of damage)
#11 Lucario - Rotom can out-speed and OHKO. Electrivire can withstand unboosted attacks, bar an EQ, and OHKO. Infernape outspeeds and OHKO's.
#12 Latias - Rotom can withstand it's attacks, and OHKO/2HKO. Otherwise, Vaporeon has to try and stall it, or Swampert has to be around to Ice Beam it.
#13 Jirachi - Swampert kills the leads. Non-lead Jirachis are rare, but, can be delt with no trouble by Ape/Vire.
#14 Azelf - Usually carries Explosion, so, Vaporeon/Swampert can force it to explode (Especially if it lacks a suitable move to kill them with, GK for Pert, and T-Bolt for Vap), and Protect. Scizor likes killing varients that don't carry fire moves. Boosted 'Vire can also beat these.
#15 Starmie - No problem for Vaporeon, who walls n stalls. Vire can also come in on a T-Bolt and crush it. Rotom kills it too.
#16 Zapdos - This is trouble. My best bet is to lure a T-Bolt, and use 'Vire. Rotom beats it, but takes a shedload of damage in doing so.
#17 Celebi - Scizor OHKO's it, and Celibi knows it, and often decieds to switch out, and take 60% form Persuit.
#18 Bronzong - Swampert baits Explosion, as it can't do anything to it. Vaporeon is even better.
#19 Skarmory - The special devision of my team, such as Rotom, Infernape, and 'Vire can all OHKO.
#20 Vaporeon - Didn't I say I hated this thing? Toxic with my own Vaporeon, then, switch in and try to T-Bolt it to death and back with 'Vire and Rotom. With Toxic, they wittle down Vaporeon.
#21 Breloom - Not actually faced this. Infernape can out-speed and OHKO though.
#22 Gliscor - Vaporeon, Swampert.
#23 Jolteon - If it's Specs, Rotom, 'pert and Vire force switches. Best I can hope for is to get it with a EQ from Swampert. Infernape also does a good job, not being OHKO'ed usually, and then dishing out enough for BP Scizor to kill.
#24 Flygon - Swampert likes killing this. 'Vire can surprise it, but it's often scarfed, Rotom fares well as well.
#25 Machamp - Rotom walls it's DynamicPunches.
#26 Kingdra - Smash it with Scizor if it Outrages. If it's using Water attacks bring in Vaporeon and poison it. In rain, I have to be even better with prediction. Kingdra is a threat.
#27 Togekiss - Rotom outspeeds it, and OHKO's.
#28 Rotom-H - My own Rotom can defeat these. Other than that, it's a case of 'Vire takes a bucketload of damage, or Scizor threatens with Persuit.
#29 Suicune - It dosen't like being Toxiced. Vaporeon basically walls it. 'Vire and Rotom beat it if it hasn't set up yet.
#30 Weavile - Can't OHKO 'Ape, can't take a CC. 'Vire's in the same boat. Rotom's Overheat too, with the bonus of outspeeding.
#31 Magnezone - Kills Scizor. Anything else... it can't kill.
#32 Hippowdon - Ugh... too much HP and Slack Off. Dosen't like STAB Surf from Vaporeon, especially when posioned. Rotom can deal a fair amount, and resists EQ.
#33 Electivire - Swampert. A taste of it's own medicine works well too. Rotom beats it as well.
#34 Forretress - They never expect the Spanish Inqi... sorry, Flamethrower 'Vire. Rotom and Ape OHKO too, but those often force it out.
#35 Mamoswine - Scizor, Rotom, 'Ape, 'Vire.
#36 Dusknoir - Rotom kills it, but hates Shadow Sneak. It fails to beat anyhting else, it just takes a while.
#37 Empoleon - Close Combat, oh how I love the way both starters in D/P lose to Infernape. Rotom and Ape beat em too, Rotom even after 1 Agility is faster.
#38 Aerodactyl - Swampert beats all Aeros, as they are only leads. They stop SR with Taunt, then die.
#39 Snorlax - I won't let it set-up, and I'll smash it with Close Combat. Rotom walls it quite well too, but can't do much in return, other than Trick Scarfing Rest or Cruse.
#40 Heracross - Infernape, the surprise Flames from Vire, and Rotom all OHKO. Rotom is the most reliable though.
As a result, I switched my Garados to the very bulky healer that I have trouble with usually. Vaporeon.
