Hey everyone. Unfortunately my last RMT kinda failed due to my finals occurring at the same time. Although that tread failed the poll results will be taken into account for my next one coming out close to mid-August (which might be my last one for some time). However I decided to lurk around on the forums and on the strategy dex to create a team with plenty of planning. (And I finally got a good computer for Showdown!) Seeing as my username is from Code Geass I decided to create a team with a few Pokémon named after some characters in that anime. I've some good time and thought into this team and made countless revisions. After testing it a bit I think its a solid team and I'd like to show it off. Without any further ado here is the team.
I decided to base my team around Mega Charizard- X. This is a Dragon Dance set used to set up a quick sweep. Its powerful at a force to be reckoned with.
One of the main problems facing Zard-X are water, bulky ground and rock types. Serperior was added to counter these. With Contrary, it quickly becomes a dangerous threat and deal with Ferrothorn better than Zard-X with HP Fire.
Since Zard-X lacks Earthquake a good counter is needed to deal with Heatran and to give the team some much needed bulk. For this reason I added a CroCune set to give me what I needed in one package.
At this point my team lacked a counter to scarfed dragons such as Garchomp and Kyurem-B. A fairy was needed to counter this and to also help dispose of some fighting types such as Conkeldurr and Mega Heracross. However, I desperately needed a Heal Bell user for Charizard and Serperior in case of Paralysis and Poison. Clefable fits this role perfectly and also counters Mega Sableye better than Sylveon.
As of now I needed a Stealth Rock user and some one to be a fairy slayer. I originally had a Scarfed Heatran at this position. However, I realized that my team was way too special heavy so I switch him with a Ferrothorn for more physical attackers.
Finally, I needed a Rapid Spinner for Zard-X. Excadrill was used originally but after closer inspection I still needed something to counter and outspeed Garchomp and Dragonite. Starmie was a good choice since its Ice Beam can OKHO Garchomp and Dragonite (after Stealth Rocks).
I decided to switch Clefable with Sylveon. Sylveon provided mish of the same as Clefable but has more Special bulk and has a strong Hyper Voice for damage. It also makes it easier to hit behind substitutes.
Since Starmie seemed a bit too frail and not too strong I switched it out with Latios. Latios eliminates Stealth Rocks with Defog and deals more damage while still having type coverage against fighting types.
Cornelia (Charizard-X) (F) @ Charizardite X
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Flare Blitz
- Dragon Claw
- Roost
This is the main star of this team, Mega Charizard-X, Cornelia li Britannia. Like her anime counter part, Cornelia brings victory through fast and powerful attacks. This set is a Dragon Dance set used to set up and sweep. I chose an Adamant nature to get the maximum amount of damage while still having the potential to sweep after a Dragon Dance or 2. Its EVs are used to maximize its attack and speed to get the most out of Dragon Dance. Flare Blitz is used to nuke almost anything in sight after a DD or 2 and is a safe option against fairies. Dragon Claw is a sfe option to use as Charizard will not be confused or locked into a move. Charizard is a good team mate to Suicune and Serperior as it burns grass types and melts ice types. It also helps Sylevon eliminate steel types.
Schneizel (Serperior) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Contrary
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Glare
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Leaf Storm
The second member of my team, Serperior, Schneizel el Britannia. The main goal of this set is to utilize Serperior's ability Contrary. With a life orb all of Serperior's attacks do great damage that is only helped by Leaf Storm. The EVs on Serpieror are used to give it enough speed to out speed the Lati twins and inflict the maximum amount of damage possible with a timid nature and HP Fire. Dragon Pulse is used to hit fast dragons such as the Lati twins. Glare paralyzes opponents which makes it easier for Charizard or Latios to easily knock them out. HP Fire is used to take out Ferrothorn and Scizor which are common switch ins. Leaf Storm combined with Contrary gives a +2 boost to Special Attack with each successful use.
Madi (Suicune) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
The main idea of this set is to give some good defense to the team while also checking Heatran. This is a standard Crocune set that can be used to annoy opponents and is usually a safe switch in. Its bold nature combined with max EVs in Defense makes Suicune very bulky. Calm Mind is used to boost Suicune's low Special Attack and Special Defense. Scald is its STAB move which can cripple Pokémon such as Azumarill and Mega Lopunny who may want to switch in to knock it out. Rest is for recovery and eliminates status conditions in case of a powerful steel type is in play such as Mega Metagross which would OKHO Sylveon. Since Rest is used, Sleep Talk is also used so Suicune isn't completely useless while asleep.
Tatl (Sylveon) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pixilate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SpD
Bold Nature
- Wish
- Heal Bell
- Protect
- Hyper Voice
This Sylveon set works as a cleric for Charizard in case of poison and paralysis as well as for Serperior in case of Paralysis. Its EVs give it some good Special bulk and allow it to take some hits. Leftovers help Sylveon heal itself if it has taken a lot of damage. Hyper Voice combined with Pixilate does great damage and hits behind substitutes. Heal Bell removes crippling statuses from its team mates and itself. Wish is used for a good healing option and can be passed on to other team members. Protect gives a guaranteed Wish and scouts the opponents' moves.
Siegfried (Ferrothorn) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip
Another Pokémon with a name from Code Geass, Ferrothorn, Siegfried. Ferrothorn is mainly used as a Stealth Rock users but has some good defenses too. Its Evs give it plenty of bulk while its 0 IVs in Speed maximize its damage from Gyro Ball. Relaxed nature also increases Gyro Ball's damage and increases its Special Defense. Leftovers allow it to heal itself throughout the battle. Stealth Rocks is the main reason Ferrothorn is on this team to create an entry hazard and keep other Charizard and Talonflame away for a while. Leech Seed further heals Ferrothorn and can force the opponent to switch out. Gyro Ball is used due to Ferrothorn's non-existent speed and to kill fairies. Power Whips is used for another strong STAB option incase the opponent resists steel.
Lelouch (Latios) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 29 HP / 0 Atk
- Defog
- Roost
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
The final member of my team with another name from Code Geass and who shares my user name, Latios, Lelouch vi Britannia. Latios is a good sweeping option that also doubles as a Defog user. Its EVs give it maximum speed and deals plenty of damage with a Life Orb. Defog gets rid of entry hazards such as Stealth Rock which would make Charizard's job much harder. Roost allows it to heal itself, something that Starmie didn't have. Draco Meteor does large amounts of damage that is useful against Garchomp and Dragonite. Pyshock hits Assault Vest Conkeldurr harder than Psychic and makes sure Latios won't be walled by Chansey or Blissey.
Mega Altaria (can't find a good mini-sprite) - Mega Altaria is a powerful threat to my team. It resists Dragon Claw leaving only a few Pokémon to deal with it. Sylveon can handle a Special Altaria but falls easily to a Physical one.
(Ezio and Connor are missing from the poll as Greninja is banned and I run a Mega Salamence set for Connor which is also banned)
