I always get pwned by hax in Pokemon Online. Whether it's freeze on my 2 most important pokemon in LC, or the common game-changing critical, I always seem to be unlucky. So I've decided to harness the power of hax onto my team, and cause tons of ragequits in the process.
Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 160 Def / 64 SDef / 32 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Trick
- Thunder Wave
- Iron Head
- Wish
Togekiss (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Body Slam
- Air Slash
- Aura Sphere
- Roost
I begin with the resident flinch haxers, Togekiss and Jirachi. Flinch hax is one of the most annoying forms of hax, and of course, I intend to exploit this to the fullest.
They both play out pretty similarly. First I paralyze with Body Slam/Thunder Wave, and then flinch hax away with Iron Head/Air Slash. The opponent only has a 30% chance of actually doing something, and it's not uncommon to get 15 in a row and kill a skarmory (no really).
Jirachi also serves as the wish passer, and I can U-Turn out. Trick catches those stat boosting sweepers and entry hazard users.
Absol (F) @ Scope Lens
Trait: Super Luck
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Magic Coat
- Night Slash
- Sucker Punch
- Psycho Cut
Continuing with the hax theme, Absol is a perfectly way to abuse the supposedly broken RNG in Pokemon Online. With a Scope Lens, Super Luck, and a high critical move, I have a 33.3% of a critical. Absol serves at my "lead," depending on what the opponent has. I have it first, but I can easy change to Machamp or Jirachi through team viewer.
Magic Coat gets entry hazards up for me, as well as Taunts and such. Night Slash and Psycho Cut are the perfect moves to abuse crit with. Sucker Punch hits hard on any sweepers that dare stand in the way.
Machamp (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: No Guard
EVs: 128 HP / 252 Atk / 128 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- DynamicPunch
- Substitute
- Payback
- Stone Edge
Ah Machamp. No Guard is just amazing, making DynamicPunch a no miss move with power, and guaranteed confusion. No set up required like the flinch haxers. Simply confuse anything, get a sub up, and pummel away at their pokemon. Payback and Stone Edge complete the coverage.
Feraligatr (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 28 HP / 252 Atk / 228 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Ice Punch
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
Next up is the set up sweeper. The idea is to come in on something while it's confused and paralyzed, use Dragon Dance on the switch, and sweep. I've tried a few other pokemon here, namely Dragonite and Latias. Ice Punch hits dragons, Waterfall is STAB, and Earthquake is always reliable.
Breloom (F) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Spore
- Leech Seed
- Focus Punch
Last up is Breloom and its trusty Spore. Spore incapacitates any threat, and on the switch I go for sub.As perhaps the best sub seeder in this game, it can stall entire teams to death, while it focus punches away.
I was doing extremely well with this team yesterday. I got 5 rage quits in a row, and I was beginning to this I was unbeatable.
And then I met a Gliscor. And another. And another. I got walled by it every single time, to the point where I replaced my setup up sweeper, Dragonite, with Latias, then Feraligatr. And I still have some problems with it. It's simply too slow without Dragon Dance to do anything. Actually, that's a major weakness with this team, its ridiculous slowness. Nothing is over base 100, and in this metagame, that's begging for a sweep.
I'm thinking of taking out Absol, because it dies way too easily. When I go for Magic Coat, the lead just attacks and destroys it, and sets up entry hazards later. Sucker Punch also never gets the intended effect. And Feraligatr is a bit of a let down too. I'm looking for a set up sweeper that easily counters Gliscor, preferably rather fast and bulky. Not only Gliscor, Ground types give me a pretty hard time in general.
I'm thinking Swampert would do nicely against Gliscor, and set up rocks. Maybe I could bring back Dragonite? Keep in mind to stick with the theme, rage quitting.
EDIT:I forgot to say that this idea has been posted a few times in previous generations. I got a couple ideas off of those. Now I just need to update it for the current metagame.
