[OU RMT] Team GlisBliss

[Double A]

I came here because no-one was criticizing my hypothetical team over at another forum. One ctrl+c later and here we are!

A couple of notes before I start:
I'm new here, and I'm pretty new to Pokiemanz, so please go easy on me :)
PLEASE don't tell me to use any "Hidden Power". I really don't want to go to the effort of IV breeding.
If possible, I’d like to keep possible weaknesses minimal, from a type-advantage standpoint.
To be honest, I don't have DPPt yet. I'm planning on getting it very soon though, and after studying some pokestuff for a while, I've come up with this team.

At a first glance:

Now, a second glance:

Finally, a slightly more indepth glance:

Swampert @ Leftovers
Torrent
252HP / 4Atk / 252Def
Adamant (+Atk, -SpAtk)
-Earthquake
-Ice Punch
-Stealth Rock
-Roar

My Swampert lead. Lay down some Stealth Rocks, and then Roar. Also makes for good PHazing. Earthquake for STAB, Ice Punch over Ice Beam because Swampert’s Attack is... better than his Special Attack, and it deals with Dragons and Grass-typed pokies, as well as helping against any ground-typed pokes that want to hurt my next two pokemon.

Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Sand Stream
160 HP/ 252 Atk/ 48 Def / 48 SpDef
Adamant (+Atk, -SpAtk)
-Stone Edge
-Payback
-Pursuit
-Fire Punch

The recommended Choice Band set, but with some major changes. For one, I changed “Crunch” to “Payback”, which, at full power, is noticeably more powerful than Crunch. The second change I’ve made in order to allow Payback to be at full power more often. The original set had 96 Speed EVs, I’ve spread them evenly among Tyranitar’s monstrous defenses (his SpDef is boosted even more by Sandstorm). This ensures that Ttar will be slower, and will be more capable of taking the attacks which are a result of him being slower.

I really need help with Tyranitar's last move. I can't decide between the elemental punches, Aqua Tail or Earthquake.

Empoleon @ Choice Specs
Torrent
12 HP / 12 Def / 252 SpAtk / 232 Spe
Modest (+SpAtk, -Atk)
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Grass Knot
-Sleep Talk

For the position of Special Attacker, I considered Heatran. However, the Choice Scarf set was far too incapable of dealing with his own weaknesses (without Hidden Power, which I don’t care for at all), let alone the weaknesses of most of my team. Empoleon has far better coverage. If you REALLY think that Heatran would be a better choice, then feel free to suggest it. But first read the rest of my team.

I stuck Sleep Talk on him to take advantage of Sleep Clause. If Empoleon's put to sleep, he can still attack and no-one else in my team can be put to sleep.

Empoleon resists Ice moves incredibly. Empoleon also has a resistance to Water type moves, with Grass Knot to counter Grass pokes. Why did I mention that? It’s because I have a Gliscor, who acts as my physical wall.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Sand Veil
Impish (+Def, -SpAtk)
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDef
-Aerial Ace
-Roost
-Toxic
-Knock Off

Physical Wall. Sand Veil, Roost and Toxic are self-explanatory. Aerial Ace for some emergency STAB, Knock Off to mess with the opponent. I love messing with people.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Natural Cure
24 HP/ 252 Def/ 232 SpDef
Calm/Careful (it doesn’t really matter, +SpDef, -Atk/SpAtk)
-Seismic Toss
-Softboiled
-Aromatherapy
-Toxic

My special wall. Seismic toss to cause consistent damage, Leftovers to withstand Sandstorm. Softboiled to heal, A-therapy to help my team, Toxic to inflict extra damage, taking advantage of the stalling capabilities of both my walls and the presence of Sandstorm.

Gengar @ Black Sludge
Levitate, muddafuggaz!!!11!!one!1eleven
4 Def / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe
Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
-Thunderbolt
-Psychic
-Energy Ball
-Trick

The entire point of this pokemon is to switch into Ground or Fighting-typed pokemon doing their STAB thang on my offensive pokemon (Tyranitar, Empoleon, or maybe even on Blissey), and take them out with Psychic and Energy Ball respectively. Gengar’s immunities to Ground and Fighting typed moves kinda helps too. His immunity to normal type moves also helps with Explosion and Rapid Spin. I have Black Sludge for Sandstorm resistance, but I can also use Trick to mess with the opponent, since losing 3/16 of their HP per turn (factoring in Sandstorm) kinda hurts, while simultaneously stealing their beneficial item. It REALLY hurts if I manage to swap my black sludge for a Leftovers.

I replaced Shadow Balls with Thunderbolt to deal with the likes of Skarmory and Gyarados, and because Shadow Ball's super-effectiveness sort of went to waste (Tyranitar can deal with both Ghost and Psychic types).

I’m a bit wary of his moves though. Feel free to suggest something else, keeping the rest of my team in mind.


Thank you and good day!

Warning: Huge walls of Text up ahead. Proceed with caution.​

Swampert: You're Swampert's moveset is a little offputting in m opinion. The standard MixPert lead is as good as it could be. Even though Ice Punch comes off of Swampert's higher attack stat, it still does do enough to KO Salamence who could switch in while you set up rocks since Intimidate cuts your attack. To fix this, I recommend you change Ice Punch to Ice Beam and change your nature from Adamant to Relaxed. This will allow you to do much more damage to Salamence and actually KO if he switches into SR as Intimidate won't weaken the Ice Beam.

Tyranitar: Your Tyranitar concerns me a slight bit. For one thing, Crunch is a staple to Tyranitar and even that slight speed boost is enough to do good damage. Besides, Crunch is consistent in damage with Tyranitar and it needs nothing to be changed. For one thing, anything that switches into Tyranitar can either OHKO or 2HKO and takes little damage from Crunch and Stone Edge because of his high defense stat. I'm talking about Gliscor and Swampert. Swampert is generally slower than most Tyranitar meaning that if you Payback, you might not do enough to finish off a weakened Swampert and he can easily KO you with Earthquake. On the other hand, even though Gliscor is faster, he can heal off the Payback damage with ease and can OHKO/2HKO you with Earthquake. Lucario can also switch into Payback since it's only a base 40 power move and set up which is trouble for your team. With Crunch, you can finish off weakened Swampert, threaten Gliscor with a defense drop and Lucario will take much more damage. So I recommend you change Payback back to Crunch. You don't seem to have that big of a bulky Ground weakness, therefore I recommend Earthquake in the last slot. It'll destroy Lucario, do decent damage to Swampert and can hurt Scizor even if you don't predict him switching in. The 96 Speed EVs are to outspeed 56 Speed Scizors who were popular back in the day of Platinum. Nowadays people run the standard 8 Speed EVs, however there are some who run 56 and for those I suggest keeping the 96 Speed EVs for. You never know when you might need them.

Empoleon: As much as I like Specs, I believe an Agility + 3 attacks Empoleon would better suffice your team. He'll be able to switch moves easily and since you have an Aromatherapist on your team. It should be no worries.

Empoleon | Life Orb | Torrent
Modest | 24 HP / 252 SpA / 232 Spe
Agility | Surf | Grass Knot | Ice Beam

With this moveset, you give up a slight boost in power (about 20% power drop from Specs to Life Orb) for the ability to switch moves and allow yourself to be powered up on the way. With Life Orb, you can switch moves and still do high amounts of damage to anything not named Blissey or Snorlax. Agility allows you to function similarily to the Agility in the Sub Petaya set however you won't have to sacrifice 75% of your health to abuse it. However since this moveset is lacking Substitute, it is far more susceptible to priority and status. Therefore a cleric is highly valuable to this Empoleon. The three attacks provide you with STAB and great coverage. With Grass Knot to hit Gyarados, Ice Beam for Dragons such as Salamence, Flygon and Latias. Surf is the biggest asset for this set, once Life Orb brings Empoleon into Torrent range, you'll do absurd amounts of damage to even Blissey.

Gliscor: This Gliscor scares me a little because for one thing, even though it seems to be a very physical wall, it lacks the speed to deal with faster physical threats. I suggest a Toxic Staller set.

Gliscor | Leftovers | Sand Veil
Jolly | 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 Spe
Earthquake | Roost | Toxic | Substitute

Sand Veil will be abused to it's fullest power here since you can Sub much easier here. Toxic will hit those Flying types and Levitaters who are immune to Earthquake. Earthquake will deal with those grounded Steels, Metagross, Scizor, Lucario, Heatran, Magnezone and provide a great STAB. Roost is to heal off Close Combats and Bullet Punches and other various physical attacks.

Blissey: Vaporeon got quite a few new tools to play with in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. The biggest being that it is allowed to use Heal Bell and Wish on the same set. Something that Blissey WISHes that she had (pun intended.) Vaporeon is a great Pokemon to use with the new tools. I suggest you try this set out. It might seem as if she is doing too much, but in practice you won't need to use Heal Bell as often.

Vaporeon | Leftovers | Water Absorb
Calm | 188 HP / 252 SpD / 68 Spe
Surf | Wish | Protect | Heal Bell

Vaporeon seems to always have the job of healing the team. So why not make it the universal doctor of a team. With Heal Bell, statuses are gone. Wish can now allow you to heal the whole team. Protect makes sure that Scizor's not getting greedy and using U-turn, for which you can swith to Gliscor. Surf is your general STAB and is great with base 110 Special Attack. As we all know, Vaporeon has higher Special Defense than Defense so why not abuse that. If you already have a Physical wall, a great special wall is sometimes needed. I suggest Vaporeon over Blissey.

Gengar: Since you lack a really powerful special attack, now that Empoleon is Life Orb'd. I suggest a Choice Specs Gengar.

Gengar | Choice Specs | Levitate
Timid | 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Shadow Ball | Focus Blast | Thunderbolt | Trick

Most Ground types are physical walls, Hippowdon, Gliscor and Swampert for example. Therefore their Special Defense won't like to take too many hits. To abuse that Gengar's Special attack is a whopping 130. Now abuse this to the fullest potential by using a very powerful STAB, Shadow Ball. The only problem with this is that Tyranitar and Scizor might come in and try to ruin your party. Deal with Tyranitar by Focusing your energy and Blasting it into his face. The same goes for Scizor. However sometimes you might feel as if you're too cool. Trade away your dark pair of shades for some nice food. Blissey makes some nice food and giving her a pair of your shades for her Leftover food is always nice. Remember sharing is caring. Finally, Gyarados might want to join your party. But you don't want him to ruin it. Zap the fuck out of him with a Thunderbolt from the heavens. Gengar is the coolest cat on the block.

Good Luck.

I really think with the empoleon you really need the move agility instead of resttalk.
Unless you are going for a bulkier empoleon with a differen ev spread/possibly different nature (it looks like you're going for a rather bulky offensive team). You could try the defensive penguin.

 

[Lord Blood]

I don't think that the Defensive Penguin has anything in today's metagame with all the Fighting and Ground type attacks going around. Every Gyarados and Salamence carry Earthquake. Gliscor and Swampert also carry EQ. Lucario, Infernape and Scizor have Close Combat and Superpower, respectively. And Empoleon also brings another Fighting weakness to the table. He has Blissey, 2x weak, Empoleon, 2x weak, Tyranitar 4x weak. Swampert can only take so many Close Combats, as can Gliscor. Then Gengar dies to some Pursuiting shit and he's screwed. However I do agree that his Empoleon should be some sort of Agility sweeper. But I believe that Agility + 3 Attacks would be suffice as to not lose 75% of his health to get the power and to be picked off easily. However if someone provides indisputable evidence that SubPetaya is better, go for it.

 

[Abutorn]

Hey decent team you have here Double A,

Swampert: Looks fine here, but you might want to change one of the move to destroy gliscor because Ice punch won't be able to do much to Gliscor, so you might just want to change it into Ice beam to make sure Gliscor will go down without a sweat, so you just might want to change the nature into relaxed rather then adamant the reason why is to not subtract any sp.attack from Swampert to make Ice beam does a chunkload and to also make swampert a bit more defensive since you had it on adamant nature.

Tyranitar: Tyranitar looks pretty well but Choice band isn't needed since you don't have a lot of speed on your team which is crucial because probably anything who could setup like Salamence, Kingdra, Gyarados, most dragon dancers could sweep your entire team so this won't help that much but it will definitly take out starmies latias gengars and all those kinds of pokemon with the moveset I'll give you since you're gonna be able to outspeed them, so here it is Scarftar: 252 Attack / 252 Spd / 4 HP , Nature: Jolly , Moveset: Crunch l Pursuit l SuperPower l Stone Edge. The Evs will make you outspeed Gengar, Latias , Starmie with scarf unless they have a scarf themselves and the the moveset Crunch is to take out any thing weak to dark that'll probably stay in Pursuit is when sure you know they're gonna switch out because they don't want to risk it, The Super Power is for Heatran, other Tar leads and Blissey, The Stone edge is for Gyarados , Salamence or anything that's a flying type.

Gliscor: This Gliscor's EVs aren't as popular as they used to be so you might want to change them to outspeed Lucario, LeadJirachi , etc So you might want to change the EVs on the Gliscor into 252 HP / 40 Defense / 216 Speed. The other thing about the Gliscor you definitly might want to change is to Take out Aerial ace and put it Earthquake since it'll hit harder and also stab, Then Keep toxic, replace knock off with taunt so they can't regain those hitpoints they lost during toxic if they try to regain it back, so you just changed this set into Stall breaking Gliscor which definitly help your team.

Empoleon: It's moveset and item is unpopular and it won't get through to much do to Empoleons speed, so you might want to change the whole pokemon into Suicune because if you keep intact with Empoleon you'll have 3 pokemon on your team weak to fighting so that isn't the best, so you might want to change Empoleon into a offensive suicune since it has a 295 speed when it has 252 EVs on speed during when the nature is timid, and it's when you add calm mind it can be a really annoying beast, so here's the EVs and Nature: 252 Spd / 252 Sp.att / 4 HP, then use this moveset: Surf , Calm Mind , Ice beam , HP Elec ( Since you said you didn't want a Hidden power, then you might want to put Hydro pump, but I really do recommend Hidden Power )

Blissey: Something minor you might want to change with Blissey is probably putting Thunder wave rather then toxic since it's not a WishBliss so it won't be doing much stalling with Toxic damage, also you have Gliscor now with Toxistall so you can put thunder wave on blissey just to reduce any sweepers speed and get lucky Parahaxing it.

Gengar: Something minor, since you don't have a spiker I don't see much use of a gengar since you can have a ScarfLatias which works much better then gengar version of the scarfed, So you might want to keep the nature and EVs and just change the Pokemon to Latias, and then have this moveset: Draco Meteor, Thunderbolt, Surf, Trick. Better moveset overall in my opinon, the Draco Meteor is to hit any other dragon or in some cases a Salamence who's DDing, Surf is for anything that's ground incoming or Tyranitar which comes in all the time for latias, then the other thing is Thunderbolt for water types or Gyarados in general.

Hope my analysis helped and good luck with this team in the future.

 

[Aircraft Cemetery]

Generally I agree with what Lord Blood already suggested.
Don't use Ice Punch on Swampert because Ice Beam hits those pokemon you'll want to hit with an ice attack harder despite of swampert's highher attack stat. So change its nature to relaxed and move those 4 EVs into spDefense.
On Tyranitar you should move all Def and SpDef Evs into Speed to outrun most skarmory so that you can hit with Stone Edge before they roost. Furthermore you should of course run Crunch over Payback and you should also drop fire punch. The only things you'll hit with this are Forretress and Scizor (who can outspeed and ohko in many cases). Go with Earthquake for good coverage or with Aqua Tail if you want to hit Gliscor and Hippowdon switchins hard.
On Gliscor you really should always use Earthquake over Aerial Ace as your attacking option. Additionally as there are way better physical tanks than gliscor in todays metagame you should concentrate more on its advantage over those: its speed and stall breaking abilities. So run Jolly nature and at least 216 speed in order to outspeed all SD Lucario, all non-choices Heatran and Magnezone and ohko them with Earthquake, put the rest into defense:
Gliscor@Leftovers
Jolly-252HP, 216Spe, 40Def
Sand Veil
-Earthquake
-Taunt
-Roost
-Toxic/U-Turn
With EQ, Roost and Taunt you'll shut down many walls. Toxic hits water and latias switchins and U-Turn gives momentum.
Specs Empoleon is not a good idea to hit hard. You should go back to Heatran for of 3 reasons: -Heatran is faster and has higher SpAtk stat, -Your team really needs a reliable fire attacker, -Heatran has a better movepool, so you won't have to use SleepTalk as a filler.
Heatran@Choice Specs
Modest-252SpAtk, 40HP, 216Speed
-Overheat
-Earth Power
-Hidden Power Grass
-Dragon Pulse
On Blissey you should only use Toxic in conjunction with Flamethrower, so that it can hit steel types.(also your gliscor can run Toxic for your team). You should change it to Thinder Wave in order to slow down your opposing team which will greatly help Ttar and Heatran.
On Gengar you just have to use Shadow Ball. As your team has no reliable revenge killer for DD Mence and DD Gyara you could use the Choice Scarf set:
Gengar@Choice Scarf
Timid-252Spe, 252 SpAtk, 4HP
-Shadow Ball
-Thunderbolt
-HP Ice
-Trick/Focus Blast
Trick can shut down walls while Focus Blast hits Ttar switchins and will be your only fighting move in the team.
If you now feel that 3 choice users are too much you can change your Heatran slot.

Hope this post helped you. Good Luck !

 

[Double A]

I mainly agree with Lord Blood, but Abutorn brought up some good points. Only in one instance did I disagree with Lord Blood, and it was a Substitute vs. Protect question related to Gliscor.

Warning: Huge walls of Text up ahead. Proceed with caution.​

Swampert: You're Swampert's moveset is a little offputting in m opinion. The standard MixPert lead is as good as it could be. Even though Ice Punch comes off of Swampert's higher attack stat, it still does do enough to KO Salamence who could switch in while you set up rocks since Intimidate cuts your attack. To fix this, I recommend you change Ice Punch to Ice Beam and change your nature from Adamant to Relaxed. This will allow you to do much more damage to Salamence and actually KO if he switches into SR as Intimidate won't weaken the Ice Beam.

Ah, I had forgotten about Intimidate. Good point.

I'm still a bit suspicious, since I'm attempting to take advantage of Swampert's weaker SpAtk for the sake of just one pokemon, which can easily be taken care of by Agility Empoleon (Ice Beam) or Tyranitar (Stone Edge), the latter of which has incredibly high defense.

... but then again, I read somewhere that the OU metagame generally has high Def...

Tyranitar: Your Tyranitar concerns me a slight bit. For one thing, Crunch is a staple to Tyranitar and even that slight speed boost is enough to do good damage. Besides, Crunch is consistent in damage with Tyranitar and it needs nothing to be changed. For one thing, anything that switches into Tyranitar can either OHKO or 2HKO and takes little damage from Crunch and Stone Edge because of his high defense stat. I'm talking about Gliscor and Swampert. Swampert is generally slower than most Tyranitar meaning that if you Payback, you might not do enough to finish off a weakened Swampert and he can easily KO you with Earthquake. On the other hand, even though Gliscor is faster, he can heal off the Payback damage with ease and can OHKO/2HKO you with Earthquake. Lucario can also switch into Payback since it's only a base 40 power move and set up which is trouble for your team. With Crunch, you can finish off weakened Swampert, threaten Gliscor with a defense drop and Lucario will take much more damage. So I recommend you change Payback back to Crunch. You don't seem to have that big of a bulky Ground weakness, therefore I recommend Earthquake in the last slot. It'll destroy Lucario, do decent damage to Swampert and can hurt Scizor even if you don't predict him switching in. The 96 Speed EVs are to outspeed 56 Speed Scizors who were popular back in the day of Platinum. Nowadays people run the standard 8 Speed EVs, however there are some who run 56 and for those I suggest keeping the 96 Speed EVs for. You never know when you might need them.

Okay, I'll buy it.

Empoleon: As much as I like Specs, I believe an Agility + 3 attacks Empoleon would better suffice your team. He'll be able to switch moves easily and since you have an Aromatherapist on your team. It should be no worries.

Empoleon | Life Orb | Torrent
Modest | 24 HP / 252 SpA / 232 Spe
Agility | Surf | Grass Knot | Ice Beam

With this moveset, you give up a slight boost in power (about 20% power drop from Specs to Life Orb) for the ability to switch moves and allow yourself to be powered up on the way. With Life Orb, you can switch moves and still do high amounts of damage to anything not named Blissey or Snorlax. Agility allows you to function similarily to the Agility in the Sub Petaya set however you won't have to sacrifice 75% of your health to abuse it. However since this moveset is lacking Substitute, it is far more susceptible to priority and status. Therefore a cleric is highly valuable to this Empoleon. The three attacks provide you with STAB and great coverage. With Grass Knot to hit Gyarados, Ice Beam for Dragons such as Salamence, Flygon and Latias. Surf is the biggest asset for this set, once Life Orb brings Empoleon into Torrent range, you'll do absurd amounts of damage to even Blissey.

Yeah, I'll buy this too.

Gliscor: This Gliscor scares me a little because for one thing, even though it seems to be a very physical wall, it lacks the speed to deal with faster physical threats. I suggest a Toxic Staller set.

Gliscor | Leftovers | Sand Veil
Jolly | 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 Spe
Earthquake | Roost | Toxic | Substitute

Sand Veil will be abused to it's fullest power here since you can Sub much easier here. Toxic will hit those Flying types and Levitaters who are immune to Earthquake. Earthquake will deal with those grounded Steels, Metagross, Scizor, Lucario, Heatran, Magnezone and provide a great STAB. Roost is to heal off Close Combats and Bullet Punches and other various physical attacks.

One thing that concerns me, are the 40 Def EVs. Skarmory apparently needs over 4 times as many, and he's supposed to be the best Physical wall, no? I don't see 40 Def EVs doing much for me, but I guess I'll take your word for it.

Another thing, why Substitute? Wouldn't Protect be a better alternative? No loss of life, same effects, priority, and the turn after allows me to actually heal with Roost, instead of make up for lost Substitute damage.

Blissey: Vaporeon got quite a few new tools to play with in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. The biggest being that it is allowed to use Heal Bell and Wish on the same set. Something that Blissey WISHes that she had (pun intended.) Vaporeon is a great Pokemon to use with the new tools. I suggest you try this set out. It might seem as if she is doing too much, but in practice you won't need to use Heal Bell as often.

Vaporeon | Leftovers | Water Absorb
Calm | 188 HP / 252 SpD / 68 Spe
Surf | Wish | Protect | Heal Bell

Vaporeon seems to always have the job of healing the team. So why not make it the universal doctor of a team. With Heal Bell, statuses are gone. Wish can now allow you to heal the whole team. Protect makes sure that Scizor's not getting greedy and using U-turn, for which you can swith to Gliscor. Surf is your general STAB and is great with base 110 Special Attack. As we all know, Vaporeon has higher Special Defense than Defense so why not abuse that. If you already have a Physical wall, a great special wall is sometimes needed. I suggest Vaporeon over Blissey.

I like it. It takes away one of my Fighting-Type Weaknesses, and gives me something to deal with Ground-Type pokemon doin STAB on Empoleon and Tyranitar.

Gengar: Since you lack a really powerful special attack, now that Empoleon is Life Orb'd. I suggest a Choice Specs Gengar.

Gengar | Choice Specs | Levitate
Timid | 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Shadow Ball | Focus Blast | Thunderbolt | Trick

Most Ground types are physical walls, Hippowdon, Gliscor and Swampert for example. Therefore their Special Defense won't like to take too many hits. To abuse that Gengar's Special attack is a whopping 130. Now abuse this to the fullest potential by using a very powerful STAB, Shadow Ball. The only problem with this is that Tyranitar and Scizor might come in and try to ruin your party. Deal with Tyranitar by Focusing your energy and Blasting it into his face. The same goes for Scizor. However sometimes you might feel as if you're too cool. Trade away your dark pair of shades for some nice food. Blissey makes some nice food and giving her a pair of your shades for her Leftover food is always nice. Remember sharing is caring. Finally, Gyarados might want to join your party. But you don't want him to ruin it. Zap the fuck out of him with a Thunderbolt from the heavens. Gengar is the coolest cat on the block.

Good Luck.

Lol @ second half of Gengar review.

Hmm... not bad. The low accuracy for Focus Blast is a little unsettling though.



I overall agree with you, but I'll keep up the original team in the OP for a while to see if anyone else comes up with anything better. Thanx for the review :)

 

[SevveN]

I think you should put Shadow Ball and Focus Blast over Psychic and Energy Ball, the former have unresisted type coverage and the latter are doing hardly anything in the current metagame.
