This is my 2nd team on Smogon and hopefully one that will help me win a local tournament. This tournament has banned use of all in the "Uber" Tier and requires that you have at least 4 of your members in the type have you have chosen. You are then allowed to have 2 wild cards which can be on any type/gender/appearance/etc. Now on to the Team.
Dragonite @ Life Orb
Inner Focus / Quiet
248 HP / 4 Spd / 252 SpA
Draco Meteor
Extremespeed
Fire Blast
Earthquake
This is the standard Anti-lead Dragonite. I use this to start since it provides a decent amount of coverage and can usually take down the other leads. The problem sometimes with using Dragonite is that when it takes down the other leads they still have stealth rock on the field and the problem with that is that when I have to switch Dragonite back in it takes 25% of its HP and with Life orb recoil, this dragon isn't going to last that long. I don't really want to change what my lead is since there aren't really many dragons that I can use instead of Dragonite as a lead.
Salamence @ Life orb
Intimidate / Hasty
176 Atk / 252 Spd / 82 SpA
Draco Meteor
Outrage
Fire Blast
Earthquake
Salamence is my near identical set to Dragonite. It uses the standard new Mix-Mence set which I find useful when trying to break through walls. I usually use Salamence near the end when most of my opponents are weak and can be easily taken down due to Salamence's raw power. Again the problem with these flying dragons are that stealth rock easily takes them down and they all share the 4x weakness of Ice.
Blissey @ Leftovers
Natural Cure / Calm
252 Hp / 4 Def / 252 SpDef
Wish
Protect
Heal Bell
Seismic Toss
Blissey is the first of my two wild cards. Blissey is my special sponge, sponging any types of special attacks targeting my poor Ice weak dragons. The Wish Protect combo is meant to either A) Heal Blissey or B) Passing them back to my Dragons which need HP due to their life orb recoils and Stealth rock due to re-entering. Seismic Toss is here just so Blissey won't be complete Taunt bait while Heal Bell provides a needed Status removal off of my sweepers.
Flygon @ Choice Band / Life Orb
Levitate / Naive
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Outrage
Earthquake
Fire Blast
U-Turn
Flygon with a Choice band packs a Punch. With Outrage and Earthquake as Duel STAB's. With an Electric Immunity and reduced damage from Stealth Rock this is the only decent dragon that I can use to break holes in many walls. The problem with this Dragon it as well adds another 4x weakness to Ice causing my team to be like ridiculously weak to ice.
Starmie @ Leftovers
Natural Cure / Timid
4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SpA
Grass Knot / Ice Beam
Hydro Pump / Surf
Recover / Thunder Bolt
Rapid Spin
Starmie is my Dragon Saver and my 2nd Wild Card. Rapid Spin allows me to take down stealth rock and with the leads that usually place them fainted, they are usually unable to place stealth rock back up. I'm not sure on the move set as Grass knot allows me to take down Heavy waters while Ice beam gives better coverage over my grass and dragon weakness. Power vs Accuracy is another problem which Starmie has with Hydro Pump being stronger but missing when I need it vs Surf which allows me to always hit but sometimes doesn't KO when Hydro pump would. Recover allows Starmie to stay healthy but Thunder bolt gives me a way to take down Gyarados before it sweeps my team. Opinions or switches would be helpful here.
Kingdra @ Choice Specs
Sniper / Timid
4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SpA
Draco Meteor
Surf
Ice Beam
Dragon Pulse
Kingdra is the final dragon on my team and also the only one that doesn't suffer from the dreaded Ice weakness as well as the Stealth rock weakness. Kingdra is meant to fool someone to believe that this is a DD set since not many people have seen a Choice Spec'd Kingdra before. (In my experience I have yet to see one.) Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse and Surf all have STAB while Ice beam can take down other pesky things that come in on me and try to ruin my fun. The Problem with Choice specs though is I need to keep switching this in and out if someone comes in on a resist move allowing them to set up. A Replacement set would be nice, but I would like to keep the Kingdra though.
Thank you for reading my team and rate away. ( Sorry for no pictures its a little late here and I got kind of lazy)
