introduction
sort of a team i already had.. from way back when Platinum was new, (october 08) the origional is in RMT.. that contained shaymin-s, the team was fairly solid back then... the loss of shaymin-s is a blow but due to the influx of stall there was only ONE replacement for the job
Gengar@ choice scarf
timid: 4hp/252spa/252speed
levitate
trick
hypnosis
shadow ball
focus blast
no need to change this.. especially with stall around, any other trick lead can be dealt with, with hypnosis, any irritant set up poke or BP can be cripped quickly with a trick, or in the case of stall, save the trick for heavy stallers, blissey loves to come in on gengar and is a very nice target.. also wish+protectors are prime targets
Heatran@ life orb
timid 4hp/252spA/252speed
flash fire
lava plume
earth power
WoW
hidden power [Electric]
one of the more bizzare builds, built soley as a surprise package in the team, and against agressive teams is priceless, timid give 278 speed, which outspeeds:
Gyarados
Suicune
milotic
mamoswine
which can deal with mixed bag of stall and offence
gyarados@wacan berry
adament 4hp/252attack/252speed
intimidate
dragon dance
waterfall
earthquake
ice fang
wacan gyara. another poke rarely seen back when i made this team, the wacan allows setup of DD, agained unSTABed electic moves this is a priceless battle turner of a poke, even nailing some jolteon builds and electives by using DD to outpseed on that second move hence the inclusion of EQ
tyranitar@Life orb
jolly 4hp 252attack/252speed
sand stream
dragon dance
earthquake
stone edge
crunch
a bit more agressive, TTar is a force without a DD, throw in a LO AND DD anything unprepared for this will be in for a shock, as this team was built for agression you dont get much more then this, also a handy switch in on sunny day teams due to the weather changes.
scizor@Occa berry
Adamant 252hp/252attack/4speed
technitian
bullet punch
swords dance
x-scissor
brick break
yes i know yet another scizor... Occa being a very handy item as even though scizor is light in defences, it survives unstabbed fire very often, which means a SD can be taken and with bullet punch powered up with technitian anything that doesnt resist steel is basically killed or heavily damaged (a crit is usualy OHKO).
infernape@life orb
naive/blaze
24 Atk / 252 SpA / 232 Spe
Hidden Power [ice]
flamethrower
close combat
grass knot
the replacement to shaymin-S, the good old mixape thrown in to deal with anything, currently turning battles on its own with the shock factor, especially in stall this is priceless, CC for blissey, AND flamethrower for skarmory, grass knot for swampert, HP ice for dragons, currently working its magic in battle to turn matches even none stall using its coverage.
having not battled for a while and the fact it is late.. i have kept this brief and having only just come back am using this to get a feel for the metagame currently
