This is the second team in awhile that I tried putting together.
My last team was stall based but now I wanted to go back to direct damage. So I wanted to create an offensive team.
This team has gone through a lot of revisions but I want to stick Pokemon I like and think are cool haha.
Sadly the Pokemon I like are pretty standard but when creating this team, I knew Infernape MUST be on this team!
First Look of Team:
WEAVILE | SWAMPERT | SCIZOR | SALAMENCE | INFERNAPE | VAPOREON
Weavile @ Focus Sash
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Hasty (+Spe -Def)
Trait: Pressure
- Fake Out
- Taunt
- Counter / Ice Punch
- Night Slash / Ice Punch
Weavile is my lead or rather my anti-lead.
With so many taunter leads, it got annoying because I can set-up.
So I thought I'd finally join in and prevent people from setting up.
Fake Out to break Focus Sash on suicide leads than proceed to Taunt.
After that, I either switch out or stay in and attack.
Counter if I know I can but I'm not sure if I want Ice Punch over Counter or not.
Night Slash is to take care of the common Azelf but I want ice punch to for Aerodactyl and Roserade.
So far though, with my test on Shoddy battle, he is preforming is job well.
Swampert @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relexed (+Def -Spe)
Trait: Torrent
- Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Roar
Now that I stopped my opponent from setting up, I can set-up my own.
Come in and Stealth Rock and attack, Swampert is the standard Mixpert.
I went with Roar because I wanted a phazer and to annoy my opponent.
Sending in Swampert usually attracts Grass attacks, a lot of the time its Gengar.
That is where Scizor comes in or send in Infernape and Nasty Plot as they switch out.
Swampert's other job is to eat Electric and Ground attacks.
Scizor @ Choice Band
EVs: 160 HP / 180 Atk / 160 SpD / 8 Spe
Adamant (+Atk -SpA)
Trait: Technician
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit
Scizor is another one of my favorite Pokemon. He comes in and revenge kill many opposing Pokemon (or damage cause I suck at predicting).
He comes in for my Swampert and Infernape when they attract Latias, Gengar, and other Psychics.
Pursuit for those that fear Scizor and Bullet Punch is just amazing so little is needed to be said.
For his Ev spread I wanted Scizor to be more bulky to take a hit or two from Latias on the switch in and out.
Salamence @ Life Orb
EVs: 232 Atk / 24 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive (+Spd -SpDef)
Trait: Intimidate
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
I already know my Infernape will be a special sweeper, I wanted something physical.
I wanted a dragon and I originally had wanted Dragonite but sadly Salamence is the better of the two for this set
Salamence can be very destructive once he get Dragon Dance off.Though he is very powerful before Dragon Dance.
Fire Blast and Earthquake for any steel types come his way and switch to Infernape or Swampert when Magnezone comes in.
Infernape @ Life Orb
EVs: 64 Atk / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
Naive (+Spd -SpDef)
Trait: Blaze
- Close Combat
- Fire Blast
- Grass Knot
- Nasty Plot / Hidden Power [Ice]
Infernape is my absolute favorite Pokemon, who doesn't love monkeys on fire?!
I think Infernape is very versatile with all the moves it can learn.
For my Infernape, I want him to be a Special Mixed Sweeper.
Infernape tries to come in to something it knows that it can scare and use Nasty Plot.
Than proceed to sweep with Vaporeon, Scizor, and others on the team to cover his weakness.
With his wide variety of attacks, Infernape is able to hit many targets.
If everything goes according to plan, he should a lot of damage to the opposing team.
Vaporeon @ Leftovers
EVs: 188 HP / 252 Def / 68 Spe
Bold (+Def -Atk)
Trait: Water Absorb
- Wish
-Protetc
- Surf
- Hidden Power [Electric]
To round my team up, the last spot goes to Vaporeon.
I want something that can easily take on Gyarados, Heatran, and Infernape.
Due to its mammoth HP, moderate Defense, Water Absorb, and resistance to Fire; it makes a excellently choice.
Along with having Surf and HP Electric, Vaporeon is able to take them out.
Wish can also be useful, as it heals damage that my team takes from Life Orb recoil, entry damage, or battle damage.
