Yep, the name is based on that Spider Man group of villains.
Well, here is my second RMT. The first one was utterly and completely ignored, but I'm hoping this time someone will rate my team (please :| ).
Anyway:
Boa Hancock @ Gardevoirite
Ability: Trace
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hyper Voice
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast
- Will-O-Wisp
The main goal of the team was to make one where Mega Gardevoir was viable, and so far this is working. She is the main special attacker of the team, able to spread pain and destruction everywhere, as well as being a good wallbreaker and a decent revenge killer. The first three moves give coverage against almost everything, and Will-O-Wisp is to troll the rest of the pokemon on the switch. She is the main answer to fighting pokemon, Mega Venusaur, and pretty much anything slow who doesn't have amazing special defense.
The nickname was based on a character from the One Piece anime.
Zeus @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
IVs: 2 Atk / 30 Def
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunder Wave
- Psychic
This guy is a special sweeper with boltbeam, able to stop water pokemon from being a threat to my team, as well as dealing with a few other critical types. It's a pretty good late game sweeper even without setup, as well as a great revenge killer. Boltbeam is the standard eletric type coverage, and Psychic is to deal with Mega Venusaur, who otherwise can wall my entire team as soon as Gardevoir faints. Thunder Wave is here to make sure my team will never get swept, and this pokemon is the answer against most sweepers, often sacrificing its life to paralyze them. It makes a great combo with Gardevoir, since she can easily come in against the paralyzed pokemon afterwards and kill it.
The nickname was based on the famous greek god.
Donkey Kong @ Assault Vest
Ability: Guts
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Knock Off
- Ice Punch
This is a pivot who can switch in on most pokemon and threaten to deal a lot of damage. It's also the main source of special bulk, should I need to tank some powerful special attack. And it's a good check to many steel types, killer of Chanseys, remover of items, and absorber of burns, as well as a good revenge killer with mach punch. Ice Punch was chosen because it's a very useful type and Thundurus' HP Ice isn't really poweful, and it can be essential in a lot of matches.
Nickname was based on the character from the mario franchise.
Amidamaru @ Spell Tag
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SAtk
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- King's Shield
- Shadow Ball
- Shadow Sneak
- Iron Head
The crumbler. A pokemon who can both take hits like a boss and spam a shadow ball that almost nothing resists, this pokemon is also another useful pivot. Iron Head is to give my a chance against those pesky fairies, and shadow sneak lets it become another revenge killer (you can never have too much of those). There's not much to say about it since it's a great all around pokemon, able to threaten most of the metagame and find a role in every match.
Nickname was based on a ghost swordsman from the Shaman King anime.
Sharknado @ Lum Berry
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
This guy has a few essential functions. The most obvious one is setting rocks, which works pretty well since it can force a lot of switches and the lum berry allows it to take a WoW from Rotom leads, then switching into Conkeldurr to take the second, and obvious, WoW. The next one is being an all out physical attacker, who can deal quite a lot of damage with Outrage+EQ combo, both types that my team lacks elsewhere. Fire Blast is also another lacking type that helps against Scizor, Skarmory and Ferrothorn, some common pokemon who love to lead or switch into it.
Nickname was based on the most awesome disaster movie I've ever seen.
Buzzar @ Leftovers
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SDef
Impish Nature
- Foul Play
- Roost
- Defog
- Knock Off
This girl was added to the team with one main function, to be a defensive wall and support the rest of theam who is kind of lacking in the defense department. It's also an important counter to Aegislash, which is essential for Gardevoir to function well. Foul Play and Roost are obvious, while Defog provides situational, but very useful, utility. Finally, Knock Off make it function better as a pivot, and makes it able to cripple defensive pokemon like CHansey who love to switch into it.
Nickname was based on a boss from the first Paper Mario game.
Well, this team has been proving kind of sucessful in the ladder, having peaked at 1753 until now. There are a few pokemon who give it a lot of problems, though. The main offender is Mega Manectric. It checks every pokemon except for Gardevoir and Conkeldurr, and even those two don't last long if they keep taking Volt Switches. Mega Mawile is also a big problem, it can be checked by Garchomp, but everything else has trouble dealing with it and not even Thundurus can stop it once it sets up, since it's a slow priority attacker anyway. Finally, Azumarill has been a pain in the ass for many matches, and while three of my pokemon can check it, none of them can easily switch into the fairy, and the other three are checked by it, giving it a lot of switch in opportunities.
So I'd like to get some tips on how to cover these weaknesses in my team without making it too weak against everything else. I've peaked at 1699 with this team, and I believe it has what it takes to get even higher if I make the right changes. Thank you very much.
