Introduction
Hello, let me introduce myself: I'm Capt. Crunch, and this is my first time posting a thread on RMT. I wanted to create a Pokemon team that revolves around a good center strategy, and I decided to make a Hyper-Offensive team, because it appealed to me the most. I would highly appreciate tweaks to my team, to better benefit my playstyle. Now without further ado, this is my Pokemon team:
Klefki @ Light Clay
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Spikes
- Foul Play
Klefki fufills the role of a suicide lead on my Pokemon team, because of its good typing and its ability to setup Light Screen and Reflect. Klefki can also setup spikes, so my team can get OHKOes or 2HKOes it needs to sweep. Foul Play is to stop certain Pokemon from setting up on it. Klefki is one of the best answers to Aegislash, a threatening Pokemon.
Latias @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Defog
- Draco Meteor / Dragon Pulse
- Healing Wish
- Surf
I prefer Latias over Latios for that high Special Defense. Defog is used to clear entry hazards from the field, but the downside is having my own cleared. Draco Meteor is Latias's best STAB, but Dragon Pulse has no drawbacks compared to the former. Healing Wish sacrifices Latias and safely heals the crippled Pokemon with maximum health and status effects removed. Surf is the best coverage move for Latias to use against opposing Pokemon.
Heatran @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature (+SpA, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power Ice
- Flash Cannon
Heatran is part of the F/W/G core of Pokemon, and it also has good defensive synergy with one of my favorite Pokemon, Celebi. Fire Blast is Heatran's best STAB, being the middle point between Overheat's power and Flamethrower's accuracy. Earth Power is an amazing coverage move for Heatran to use. Hidden Power Ice usually checks many Dragon types. Flash Cannon is used for checking Fairy types, although Steel is a subpar attacking type.
Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 220 HP / 252 SpA / 36 Spe
Calm Nature (+SpD, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power Fire
- Recover
Celebi is another part of the F/W/G core of Pokemon, and has amazing defensive synergy with Heatran as mentioned above. Nasty Plot boosts Celebi's Special attack by two stages, making it a great setup move to use. Giga Drain is a excellent STAB move that restores Celebi's health. Hidden Power Fire gets past most Steel and Grass types like Skarmory, for example. Recover extends Celebi's longevity, allowing it to sweep more than once.
Keldeo @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Secret Sword
- Hidden Power Bug
- Icy Wind
Keldeo is another Pokemon part of the R/W/G core, and is undoubtly one of the cutest Pokemon ever. Hydro Pump is a great STAB to use along with Keldeo, ripping apart most of its foes. Secret Sword hits the target's defense, meaning that special walls such as Blissey or Chansey cannot wall Keldeo. Hidden Power Bug OHKOes Celebi, and is good against Latios and Latias. Icy Wind hits Dragon-types well, and slows down faster Pokemon.
Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 160 HP / 252 Atk / 96 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
Tyranitar is a good user of Choice Band, sporting a monsterous 604 attack. Its main STAB is Stone Edge, is used mainly for its power, OHKOing or 2HKOing those that don't resist it. Crunch does well against Jellicent, Celebi, and Reuniclus. Pursuit hurts many of the frail Psychic- and Ghost- types that dare switch out. Superpower hits Steel-types and Pokemon that resist its STABs hard.
