AT A GLANCE..
Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Adamant
Intimidate
120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 Spe
- Fire Fang
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
Great coverage. Outspeeds lots and covers almost everything with its monstrous attack.
Blissey @ Leftovers
Bold
Natural Cure
148 HP / 252 Def / 104 SpDef
- Stealth Rock
- Softboiled
- Thunder Wave
- Seismic Toss
Standard. Absorbs special attacks really well. Sets up Stealth Rock and Paralyzes. Seismic Tosses when there isn't much of a threat and heals when necessary.
Gliscor @ Leftovers
Impish
Sand Veil
252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
- Knock Off
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Roost
Standard, again. Gets rid of the opponents item, and AA+EQ for type coverage. Roosts when necessary and equalizes resistances. I'm considering replacing this with Skarmory. Skarmory isn't x4 weak to ice, which is a weakness on this team especially. It can Whirlwind and set up Spikes. Opinions?
Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Adamant
Poison Heal
44 HP / 252 Atk / 212 Spe
- Substitute
- Spore
- Focus Punch
- Seed Bomb
This thing can last for so long in battle! It amazes me. I spore an opponent, set up a sub, and then blast away the Focus Punches or Seed Bombs. It works really well. The Toxic Orb heals my HP so I can usually get 5 subs up if I'm lucky.
Starmie @ Leftovers
Timid
Natural Cure
172 HP / 120 SpAtk / 216 Spe
- Recover
- Rapid Spin
- Surf
- Ice Beam
Great Garchomp and Infernape counter! It works really well. It spins off spikes and rocks, recovers when necessary, and the two attacks are for coverage.
Gengar @ Choice Scarf
Modest
Levitate
64 HP / 252 SpAtk / 192 Spe
- HP Ice
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
WOW. Thing can almost outspeed anything and I love it. It's monstrous SpAtk can almost guarantee a OHKO on anything with the great type coverage of its moves.
Weaknesses
Although my team covers a wide variety of types and has better-than-adequate defenses, it still has some weak spots that need to be taken care of. For example, (I've tested this team out on Shoddy) I've been swept by multiple Weaviles. That's one reason why I'm considering replacing Gliscor with Skarmory. Weavile OHKO's Gengar and Starmie with Pursuit/Night Slash, Breloom, Salamence, and Gliscor with Ice Shard, and Blissey with Brick Break. If I replace Gliscor with Skarm, even when it Roosts it will still be weak to Brick Break. My lack of fire moves late-game doesn't help. I really don't know what to do here.
Gyarados is also a bitch, I've been swept by it a couple times too. Dragon Dance, Ice Fang, Stone Edge, and Waterfall is a nasty combo for my team and I also don't know what to do about it either.
Threat List:
Tyranitar - Breloom can take care of this. Put it to sleep, sub up, and Focus Punch away! Seed bomb works too.
Gyarados - Ehh, not so sure. Gengar DOES have Thunderbolt, but after Gyara Dragon Dances he can usually outspeed Gengar, even with a Scarf.
Infernape - Starmie outspeeds him and uses Surf.
Azelf - Gengar Shadow Ball.
Electivire - Salamence Earthquake? That is, if it doesnt outspeed me. I'm kind of screwed if he does.
Heracross - Gliscor, duh? Aerial Ace FTW
Salamence - Starmie uses Ice Beam and Recover if necessary.
Togekiss - Starmie and Gengar.
Gengar - I don't know. I would say Shadow Ball from my Gengar, but if it outspeeds me I'm screwed. Help?
Garchomp - Gengar's HP Ice. Breloom's Seed Bomb does a large amount of damage to it, also.
Lucario - Salamence's earthquake can usually take it out.
Starmie - Seed Bomb by Breloom.
Weavile - HELPPPPPP! I don't know how to cover this! He's swept me too many times. (See weaknesses)
Dugtrio - Breloom usually does the job if Dugtrio doesn't sport Aerial Ace. If it does, then Starmie comes into the picture.
Porygon-Z - Breloom uses Focus Punch.
Snorlax - Focus Punch.
Machamp - Gliscor's Aerial Ace.
Zapdos - Stone Edge from Salamence.
Suicune - Seed Bomb.
Breloom - HP Ice from Gengar.
Ninjask - Aerial Ace from Gliscor.
Metagross - Earthquake does a great job of taking it out. If not, Focus Punch does.
Heatran - Gliscor or Salamence. Earthquake.
Celebi - This thing causes me problems too! >:[ I don't know how to deal with it.
Jirachi - Usually an Earthquake from Salamence does the trick.
Dragonite - HP Ice from Gengar.
Mamoswine - Starmie Surfs it.
Gallade - An Aerial Ace from Gliscor can kill it, or a Seed Bomb.
Yanmega - Stone Edge from Salamence.
Kingdra - Dragon Claw? Seed Bomb works too.
Roserade - Ice Beam from Starmie.
Scizor - Earthuake from Salamence usually kills it.
Opinion :
I really need a fire type. Any suggestions? I think this team is definitely better than average, but it has its difficulties with certain pokemon like Weavile. Also, should I replace Gliscor with Skarmory?
There you have it. Please give your honest opinion.
