@Focus Sash
6 HP/252 Spe/252 Atk
Jolly
Pressure
-Spikes
-Stealth Rock
-Taunt
-Superpower

When making my team I wanted something who learned both Spikes, Stealth Rock, and was fast as a lead. Who better to use than Deoxys-S? Focus Sash guarantees that it gets at least Stealth Rock down. Superpower is for Tyranitar leads who like to stay in, expecting a dual screen Deoxys with no attacks. 252 Atk because Superpower can't OHKO ttar without any.

@Leftovers
252 HP/16 SpA/240 SpD
Modest
Flash Fire
-Overheat
-Toxic
-Earth Power
-Roar

A twist on the burn support Heatran from the analysis. Heatran is bulkier than people give it credit for. With this spread it can survive 2 surfs from crocune and a timid life orb focus blast from Gengar and OHKO back with Overheat. Toxic>Will-O-Wisp because sub-roost zapdos can give this team quite a bit of trouble. It also breaks stuff like Vaporeon or Porygon2 who may try to switch in. Roar is for more SR and Spikes damage, its also helpful for scouting the opponents team. Earth Power is for more coverage, people are often surprised when Heatran survives a LO Close Combat from Infernape only to get KOed back.

@Choice Scarf
164 HP/236 Spe/108 SpA
Modest
Levitate
-Overheat
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow ball
-Trick

Rotom-H is one amazing spin blocker, it can switch into Tentacruel, Starmie, Donphan, or Forretress and beat them all. It makes a very nice Lucario, Scizor, and Metagross counter as well. Trick is mainly filler since Rotom-H has a very limited offensive movepool, although I sometimes find it screwing me up later because I can't outrun stuff like Lucario anymore and get crunched to death. The EVs above let it outspeed Aerodactyl and a once DDed max speed Gyarados, and the 164 HP is for more bulk when switching into stuff.

@Leftovers
252 HP/220 Def/36 Spe
Bold
Natural Cure
-Grass Knot
-HP Fire
-Recover
-Leech Seed

Celebi complements Heatran almost perfectly as you may know, both resisting all of each other's weaknesses. Pretty standard set, HP Fire for Forretress who think they can set up on me or Scizor who think they can get a safe switch in.

@Leftovers
188 HP/252 Def/68 SpA
Bold
Water Absorb
-Wish
-Surf
-Protect
-Ice Beam

My team's wish passer and Heatran/Infernape counter. This can counter or at least threaten most of the things that counter the celetran combo while healing them in the process.

@Choice Band
252 HP/252 Atk/6 Spe
Adamant
Technician
-Bullet Punch
-U-Turn
-Pursuit
-Superpower

I opted to use CB scizor instead of SD scizor because it can OHKO Mamoswine and Gengar without setting up. This rounds off my team nicely by giving me an insanely powerful priority move to revenge kill with, and a check against Tyranitar and Blissey.

What the hell, why do none of my RMTs get even 1 response. Is my team so perfect that no one can make even one suggestion?

 

[Bogmire]

lol do you guys not like my username or something? Or is it the sprites that are distracting you? I really need help with this team. RMTs with less views than mine have more rates =/

 

[remlabmez]

lol since no one is responding I guess I can try to help you out. Your lead is nice and does catch those pesky TTar leads off guard. Ive actually been wanting to use that exact set for a while since I saw someone else use but I didnt want to copy it. The thing that scares me about this team is that you only have 1 physical sweeper, meaning the rest of your team can be walled by a bliss =/ I am not sure how you take care of bliss, my assumption by looking at the team is by tricking it with rotom? Oh yeah and I see a HUGE zapdos weakness with this team. With heatwave and tbolt it can clean up on your team. so what would I suggest? I would probably replace celebi with some sort of physical sweeper that counters zapdos which would probably be TTar.

Just so you don't feel left out.

That's a pretty interesting lead, nothing to say about it really. As much as you want to be original, that won't be working, not the set itself, but with the team, as this team is rather slow, so Scarf Heatran is what I would suggest as a replacement, to handle Skymin and outspeed it, and just be the 'surprise' scarf pokemon in the team. I don't think of Rotom-H as a good scarfed to be honest, I would rather just make it a real defensive oriented to handle Heracross and Lucarios, Scizors as well, and it will still be the best Anti Rapid Spinner, so basically I would suggest using: Overheat / Discharge / Shadow Ball / Reflect or Light Screen, depends if you want to really be heavy with physical defense or have some special coverage too. I really don't like how this team gets shut down by Bulky Team pokemon, such as the SkarmBliss combination, you can't do nothing to it, Scizor isn't doing anything to Skarmory, especially not Choice Banded. I would suggest using a Coice Band Heracross, replacing Scizor for it would seem the most wise idea here. I know if you lose Scizor, Tyranitar will eat this team alive, but Heracross can be capable of handling Tyranitar, but with a different EV Spread. 72 Atk / 200 Def / 236 Spd @ Adamant would work here, and having a defensive investment is always good when you have awesome Ground, Dark and Fighting resists like Heracross does. With this spread and Choice Band, Heracross will always 2HKO Skarmory with SR up with Close Combat, since it will reach 501 Attack, and the rest in speed to outspeed Breloom, Machamp, and Magnezone, so I would strongly suggest trying it out.

I really don't know what else to say, this team has potential.

that deoe set is great, im not sure about needing the max attack that bad since tars dont seem to run hp anymore and even 0 attack evs nets you a ko on 0 hp tars almost all of the time... either way it's nifty set!

i like the ideo of a suicide spiker with rotom-h on a balanced team, as well as pairing scizor/tran as a good offensive pair and cele/tran as a defensive pair wih vappy to take the heat off of tran with wish to handle gayra who kinda craps on all of them. also glad to see you using gouki's evs and not the alalysis'. i thin the greatest thing about those evs is surviving neutral 252 tran's earthpower and ohkoing it back, which is pretty awesome when everyone in the world has timid scarftran on their teams. like venom said, great team :D


It's a great offensive/defensive pairing core but yeah as said zapdos is a bitch, not to mention having to decide which dder you're gonna be weak to with vappy..

one solution is making vappy into p2 with toxic, ice beam discharge, recover (wich handles zapdos gyara mence heatran) youd be hera weak but you can play around that hopefully. you could turn heatran into a resttalker since p2 handles zapdos now and it even gives you a status taker!!


whoa that sounds fun try it out ;D

as for hera/scizor i can see how he'd be desirable for the tar weak (which i didnt discuss due to the coolness of the deoe lead i guess) but i tihnk i'd rather a straight up rock/dark resist like machamp, who works great with spikes.

another weak, speedy SD SP scizor but nothing beats that excexpt zapdos x__x

 

[Corrupted]

SD Scizor cleans up so much imo better so try that out.
Heatran is begging to be a stalker or a scarfer, Toxic/Roar are so meh. Going for ScarfTran + Stalker Rotom is also an option.
Deoxys can't OHKO max HP Tar without a boosting item/nature, just so that you know.

support your shit in the context of the team... seriously.


also run calcs for superpower.. his does min 92% to a max hp ttar, ohkoing 80% of the time
think before you post !!!

 

[Bogmire]

Thanks for the suggestions everybody, I'll try some of them out on an alternate account and see how they work.

I'm happy to say this team has finally got me to the leaderboard =)
