Hi guys I am currently building a team and would like your advice on it.
I will list the guys i am currently having problems beating and would ask what you would add or change on the team to deal with the threat.
Jirachi-Flygon beats him but that's about it. Infernape does ok but he doesn't live long.
Dusknoir- I can widdle him down but he stalls my team out
Cresslia- scizor is the only one to deal with him
Yawning kingdra- Flygon is the only one who can take him and that's only before he dd's
Any fast mixed special attacker- Scizor has some hope but it's up to tentacruel
Machamp- with choice scarf (I guess good prediction is necessary
Sandstorm teams- I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THESE!!!!!!!
Zapdos- Flygon has him covered if he is non choiced if he's choiced it requires accurate prediction. Stealth rock will wreck choiced sets.
There are more but those are the main ones that f me up
But anyway the goal of this team is to use my lead nape and tentacruel to set up entry hazards, use flygon to bust down the walls. They in turn bring out counters to my scizor and then those counters are dispatched and he is free to sweep.
My lead:
Infernape naive focus sash
the Smogon special lead nape
64 Atk / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
~ Fake Out
~ Stealth Rock
~ Fire Blast
~ Close Combat
He is my lead it's a pretty easy strategy beats pretty much everything but swamperts gyrados gengar.
Attacks to him go to
Suicune leftovers
252 defense 252 hp 4 sp attk
bold
-roar
- calm mind
- surf
- hp electric
Standard physical wall all special attacks go to tentacruel
unless it's electric which goes to flygon grass to scizor
Hp electric to deal with bulky waters
Tentacruel Black sludge
calm
252 sp def 252 hp 4 def
- Toxic spikes
- surf
-rapid spin
- toxic/Giga drain
I did some testing and found that this guy gets walled alot when I ran giga drain so i switched it to toxic. Even though it seems redundant to have two toxic attacks it's beneficial because it beats other walls and surf will deal neutral damage to anything that is resistant
Electric attacks and eq aimed at him go Flygon
Flygon jolly Life orb
252 attack 252 speed 4 hp
- stone edge
- fire punch
- outrage
- earthquake
My mini garchomp. I originally used choice band but i found it to easy to get around for the opponent. So now I use life orb. It still does a decent job and will smash though pretty much any wall in two hits. All water and ice attacks are sent wither to scizor or the tentacruel or suicune
Scizor life orb
Adament technician
252 attack 252 speed 4 def
- bullet punch
- x-scissor/superpower?
- swords dance
- pursuit
He is pretty much the clean up crew and he does the job nicely. He has good resistances and such. Not a choice band set because i don't wanna get walled by those who are always expecting bullet punch
Gengar Expert belt
Timid 252 speed 252 special attack
- t-bolt
- shadowball
- focus blast
- destiny bond
He takes more eq's fighting and normal attacks he is my special sweeper and always does a nice chunk of damage. I use him over latias because of destiny bond though i may switch it if i feel like having two pokemon seriously weak to ice
