"grrr.... Even my fart is harder than your ridiculous attacks"




Yeah, my first RMT thread on smogon. I made this temas a couple of weeks ago and had some success with it.

Here we go

Uxie @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/104 Def/152 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Trick
- U-turn
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock
---

Yes, the trickscarfer. It can Outspeed Aerodactyl and Azelf / All common leads and trick before they can taunt.
If Hippowdon or Swampert are the leads, i trick them and paralyze switch-in-pokemon nearly 100% because most teams only have one electric immunity.
Twave is important to cripple sweepers like Infernape so swampert / scizor/ dragonite will have some fun with them.
Uxie is also my important SR dealer.

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP/216 Def/52 SAtk
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Roar
- Rest

---
Yeah, i love this guy. It is my favourite pokemon for battling. Since i play shoddy i use Swampert. For a good reason. He walls common threats in the OU enviroment like tyranitar which is great.
It also handles most Salamences and Flygons.
I use Rest because its helpful to take status better, ecspecially toxic. So for example, blissey can't do anything.
Rest also helps to counter Zapdos a bit easyer since it is a big threat against my team.

Magnezone @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 6 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Flash Cannon
- Explosion

---
My Rvengekiller and steel trapper. Not much to say about him. He helps Dragonite to sweep the enemies thanks to magnet pull.
One thing i do not like is the fact that hiddenpower fire often let the opposite Scizor surviving and give him a chance to Break / Power / U-turn in my face =/
All in all a good pokemon and an important Steel type in my team.

Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 136 HP/156 Def/216 Spd
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Recover
- Rapid Spin

---

Starmie and Dragonite are good friends since Starmie can delete the annoying Stealth Rocks. The Star can easily handle OUs like Gyarados and Infernape and absorbs toxic and other status.
It is my special sweeper, too and its attacks are real pain for things like skarmory, steelix, gliscor, forry,....and so on.
I really like this pokemon.
I chose Recover for an instant recovery move which works well with the bulk starmie has.

Scizor (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 244 HP/252 Atk/12 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
---
The physical power of the team exclude dragonite. He is my scouter and revengkiller #2. Pursuit kill ghosts and psychos. U turn is for scouting and STAB damage. Bullet Punch is a revenge kill move and STAB, too.
Thanks to Pursuit and U turn and its type, scizor is often my switch in into cresselia and celebi and Latias. But he is actually the only pokemon which can deal big damage to them =/ Hidden Power Fire hurts a lot. Maybe i should add some spD Evs??

Dragonite (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 248 HP/72 Atk/188 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Roost
- Dragon Dance
- Substitute
---

The reason i made this team. I used Lightscreen in the place of Substitute, but i noticed that the time for using it is very rare. So i decide to use Substitute. Substitute is GREAT. So many pokemons try to status him (Rotom, Dusknoir,....) and are surprised that it fails. And even if they are faster, the Lum berry will help me and i get a free Sub.

Its shame that there is no place for a second attack =/.
I am really dubious about him. Maybe i can change something on him.
(Or replace =[ )











 
for your swampert, I would actually reccomend the following:

Swampert@Leftovers
Impish
252 HP/252 Defense/ 6 Attack
-Waterfall
-Ice Punch
-Earthquake
-Roar

This guy has stronger STAB earthquake, and a few extra moves. I took out rest because I cannot see a point in putting your pokemon to sleep for 2 turns, mainly because you could get setup on while your sleeping, thus making status more preferable.

As for the rest of the team, It's generally good but I'm too lazy to critique.
 
I'm not too sure how much Swampert is helping this team. Overall I feel your team is a bit lacking in offense, and might not be able to muster enough damage to win reliably. You don't have a particularly bad Tyranitar weakness since you have Scizor, and Uxie is setting up your rocks for you, which makes me think you could do better with a more offensive Pokemon in Swampert's slot. I think a Kingdra might serve you quite well there, as it will identify and weaken your opponent's primary dragon counters, allowing your second dragon to take them out a lot easier. If you're running Kingdra, I'd alUsingso recommend dropping your Sub Roost Dragonite for a more powerful LO Salamence. Since Kingdra is doing the methodical substitute + weaken method to get at your opponent's dragon counters, and Magnezone is removing Steel types as well, the additional power and speed that Salamence brings will do your team good.

Here are the Kingdra and Salamence sets I'd recommend:

Kingdra @ Lum Berry | Swift Swim | Adamant | 8 HP / 248 Atk / 252 Spe
Dragon Dance / Substitute / Outrage / Waterfall

Salamence @ Life Orb | Naughty | 232 Atk / 24 SpA / 252 Spe
Dragon Dance / Outrage / Earthquake / Fire Blast

Using a double dragon attacking method like this is very effective, especially so since Kingdra and Salamence don't share too many weaknesses apart from the dragon one. Since Kingdra can use a STAB Waterfall to hit the likes of Metagross and Bronzong (who your Magnezone have a bit more trouble trapping), Salamence can just blast through with Outrage during the late stages of the game when your opponent's team is weakened.

Running a slightly more specially defensive spread on your Scizor might be an idea, helping it to switch into the likes of Gengar and Latias with more ease. Try out a spread of 172 HP / 252 Atk / 72 SpD / 12 Spe in place of the one you're running now, just to see how you fare. It gives Scizor more of a chance of surviving consecutive Specs Surfs from Latias, and just gives it a bit more freedom switching in.

There's really not too much I can recommend for you, it's a nice team you have. Good luck with it :).
 
thanks.
I tested the new team (including Kingdra, ...) and noticed a problem with Salamence since swampert is gone =/

edit: Stat-up pokemon (e.g Curse Swampert) are difficult to handle without a roarer.
=/
 
if you have a problem with salamance try giving icebeam to starmie so it can come in and revenge them? because your magnezone kinda already covers the gyarados problem?
