Pass it On!(OU)

Team At A Glance

Smeargle @ Salac Berry
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 96 HP / 120 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature (+spe, -SpA)
- Belly Drum
- Substitute
- Spore
- Baton Pass

I had an Ingrain/Mean Look passer, but found out it had a weakness to fast attacking leads that don't set up. So I just switched to a simpler more reliable set for Smeargle. I spore, substitute, Belly Drum, and keep substituting if I didn't get the Salac Berry boost yet. Then I pass to Dragonite if I still have sub up and sweep.

Fighting moves directed to Drifblim

Zapdos @ Leftovers/Lum Berry
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 84 Def / 6 Spe / 168 SpD
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Agility
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt

He can switch in on Earthquake easily, and use agility while the Choiced EQ switches out. Zapdos needs to be kept alive for Agility, so Dragonite does not get outsped. Thunderbolt hurts with 125 base SpA, even with no EVs in it. He stops those menacing Taunt users with his own Taunt if he can use Agility while they're asleep from Spore.

Ice moves directed to Vaporeon
Rock Moves directed to Vaporeon

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 128 HP / 252 Def / 124 Spe
Calm Nature (+SpD, -Atk)
- Acid Armor
- Substitute
- Surf
- Baton Pass

This guy is one hell of an important pokemon because of the Water/Ice resist. I noticed that when I get Vaporeon out, the opponent will usually switch out to an Electric pokemon, so you get an Acid Armor in with the free turn, and you can pass to Gliscor when they try to revenge kill. The bulk allows him to take as many hits as possible since you'll be switching to him a lot with all the ice attacks.

Electric moves directed to Gliscor.

Gliscor @ Yache Berry
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 158 Spe
Impish Nature (+Def, -SpA)
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Taunt
- Baton Pass

My sword dancer. Keep this guy alive if you want to win. Taunt pokemon with Roar/Whirlwind, and Swords dance while you get a free turn. Then pass to Vaporeon for the Ice attack, or to Dragonite if you have Sub up. Ever since everyone started to carry Bolt-Beam, he easily avoids Thunderbolt with his Ground type, and can pass to Vaporeon if you see the Ice Beam coming.

Ice moves directed to Vaporeon.
Water moves also directed to Vaporeon.

Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Fire Punch
- Aqua Tail

The final receiver, he can easily switch in with Sub up, and revenge kill. You can then continue to sweep. With Lum Berry, you can Outrage without worrying about that confusion. I changed the moveset for better coverage. I'm thinking about switching this guy for Metagross.

Rotom-h @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature (+SpA, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- HP Ground
- Overheat

The team really needed a SpA, and Rotom gets the job done. He can take Explosions like Drifblim, and Fighting moves for Smeargle. He can switch in on leads that are Spored, and get that free turn to revenge something, or even sweep a team. I would've put Choice Scarf on this guy, but you don't really need it if you can get the Agility from Zapdos. I'm thinking if I should switch Choice Specs with Life Orb so I can switch moves.

Ghost moves directed to Smeargle

How it was made

With the Mean Look/Baton Pass combination, I couldn't keep him off the team, since I need to trap a lead so I can set up.

I added Zapdos because I need a bulky, reliable, Agilipasser. So here he is. He also resists EQ, which so many leads have now.

I wanted a bulky pokemon that could pass on defense, and had an Ice resistant, and Vaporeon did the job just right.

The main idea I had in my mind was to have a Swords Dance team, and what better pokemon to do it than Gliscor? With Taunt at his disposal, I just had to put him on the team.

After picking out my passers, I had to pick out a final receiver, my sweeper. I always liked Dragonite, and his 134 Base Atk is amazing. Along with a great movepool, he became my sweeper.

I had Metagross as another sweeper, but that was too much, so I had Drifblim replace him. Also being an Explosion absorber, which many leads have now, is a good thing to add to my team so Explosion can't kill off a passer.

Rotom can absorb Explosions too, and hit back with pretty hard. He also covers a lot of my teams' weaknesses.

The End. (:

Threat List
To be announced :D

Rate it please, bump

Okay, I'll try my best cause I don't really see a mistake here, anyways, you could try using the BellyPass lead Smeargle, Though You don't have a Special attacker and A special attacker would be really helpful, you could try Agility on Smeargle(change Ingrain) Ingrain would trap your pokemon which Sucks, by the way use this set on Drifblim...

Drifblim@Chesto berry
Rest / Shadow ball / Calm mind / Baton pass /
Timid Nature

Pass a sub to Drifblim and then Calm mind all you can then Rest to Activate Chesto berry and Unburden which raises your speed (+1) then if you want to sweep change Baton pass > HP[Fighting] otherwise keep the set, anyways you can sweep with shadow ball and if something walls you, you can pass the Calm mind and the +1 speed boost to a special attacker, and I highly recommend Azelf, with it's high speed and high Attack that would be really awesome..

Azelf@Life Orb
Explosion / Flamethrower / Psychic / Grass Knot /
Timid Nature

Psychic is your STAB move, Flamethrower kills steal types real good that would resist Psychic, Grass knot helps you stop Tyranitar and Explosion, it's very useful, well, your life would go down pretty fast(w/ Life orb), when your life is pretty low you can Explode...That's all I can do, Anyways Good team!!...

Hope I helped..
And Hope to battle you sometime..

Why not Dragon Claw over Ice Punch on Dragonite? STAB, and still super-effective against dragons.

I need that Ingrain to stop Whirlwind/Roar users. I can baton pass it anyways.

I might try that BellyPass lead though.

Well, are you going to try what I suggested? you must try others suggestion so you'll see whether it's effective to use or not...Also, Scarf-Moltres would destroy your team, Smeargle, Vaporeon, Dragonite, Drifblim and Gliscor can be attacked by Air slash, While Zapdos eats a STAB'ed Overheat, which would 2HKO your Zapdos...

I would've gone with Outrage, but since he's probably gonna be the only pokemon doing the killing, you don't want that confusion messing you up, killing only half of your opponent's team.

That's why you have Lum berry...

I tried doing BellyDrum Smeargle, but it was too easily taunted and killed. Is there an easier way to get that Belly Drum?

I edited the team too btw.

Well, you can try..

Smeargle@Salac Berry
Spore / Substitute / Belly drum / Baton pass /
Jolly Nature

Usually, leads use Stealth rock which would let you spore your opponent, when their pokemon is asleep they'll switch out, giving you a free Sub, then they'll break your Sub, giving you a free Belly Drum!! Also, activating Salac berry, which would allow you to outspeed other pokemons, after Salac berry Smeargle reaches the speed stat of 409, outspeeding many things then you can pass the Speed boost and the Belly drum..It's like a BellyZard, lol!...If Smeargle gets Taunted, switch to Rotom-H, By the way you should change it to Scarf, Scarf allows you to Revenge kill without Agility from Zapdos, AgilityPassing would take time...

eggwhoa · Oct 24, 2009

I put that set for lead.

darkfireslash · Oct 25, 2009

Run Focus Sash on Smeargle, it gives a much higher survival rate. You NEED Mr. Mime. Since you are not running Ingrain, Roaring you out or PSonging you will destroy your team. I would recommend Ninjask as a speed passer instead of Zapdos. Putting Taunt on Gliscor will do absolutely nothing. Since Roar and Whirlwind have a negative priority, if you switch out to Gliscor to Taunt, Gliscor is phazed out.
