Re-spawn And Attack! Hyper Offensive Monsters!
Introduction:
For the past few weeks, I have heard people talking about how offense is the only thing working this gen.Not that I ever liked stall but this made me search about different styles of offensive play and one that really appealed to me was "Dual Screen Hyper Offense".After weeks of trying many different teams this is the one that brought me the most success.I did not ladder much on 1 server but kept switching between Pokemon Online and Smogon.I hit about 1300 in both so I think that is decent.The team revolves around Deoxys-S setting up Dual Screens and Stealth Rock for the team.Then 4 sweepers with a double dragon duo abusing those screens and hurting everything and if something dies then as the title say... Re-Spawn and Attack!
Team Building:
Whenever I build a team I start off with a Pokemon to center it around.I thought that Lucario does not work well this gen but it does manage to catch many people off guard due it hardly being used now.
Haxorus is like the god of Hyper Offense, he hits like a truck and can OHKO almost every Pokemon that takes 0x damage from Outrage just after a +1 adamant boost.He also seemed like a good switch in after Lucario due to resisting fire which is very common
Gyrados acts as my ground resist and easy to set up sweeper.He needs 1 dragon dance on jolly to outspeed all positive base 130 speed pokemon like Jolteon.After the dragon dance he just has to attack and Moxie raises his attack for him.. a great way to weaken a team mid-game.
Garchomp completes my double dragon strategy, the whole plan is using the others to weaken either Garchomp's or Haxorus's counters so I have atleast 1 of them ready to sweep late game.This Garchomp is hard to take down because I am running a Sub+Dragon Claw Set... very deadly and even more if my opponent has sand.
The last line said that Garchomp is even more deadly in sand.A Tyranitar was added to the mix to allow me to get sand which makes things harder for my opponent when against my Lucario or Garchomp.Running a mixed set he also serves as a much needed Wall Breaker.Destroying Skarmory, Chansey, Blissey, Ferrothorn, Bronzong single handedly and helping out the entire team.
Deoxys S was chosen as the Dual Screen as it is very fast and starts off the game at a great pace for my almost always getting up Screens and Rocks.
The team has taken a major overhaul making it much more effective.Hyper Offense requires the user to have pokemon sharing weaknesses to remove each others same counters.Now this is much more effective by running.Dual Screener+Double Dragons+Double Fighters for the HO core.Latios was added because it does tyranitar's job off dealing with physically bulky pokemon much better thus replacing him.
Lets Take A Closer Look:
AuraClaw
Lucario (M) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Steadfast
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- ExtremeSpeed
- Ice Punch
- Swords Dance
Lucario is just my favorite Pokemon and when I decided to make a Hyper Offense team I knew he just had to be included.Getting 1-2 swords dance is simple for Lucario with Screen support and the amount of resistances he has.He is not used often and thus players are not prepared for him.Close Combat dents/KOs many Pokemon.Extremespeed If I know I am slower and I cant survive even with screens and Crunch for the Ghost types such as Chandelure.Life Orb+Adamant is for maximum damage output.Steadfast>Inner Focus because i can switch in on Jirachi's Iron head, Mienshao's Fake Outs... both resisted by Lucario for a free +1 Speed.

Haxorus (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4Hp / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Taunt
Oh Haxorus.... The moment I saw you back in June in that Magazine announcing B/W I really got my hopes up and thank you for keeping them up.Pure Dragon means he can take any Attack under screen because no 4x weakness to Ice.Dragon Dance on Adamant gets him to over 630 attack and over 400 speed.Its easy to get 2 DD's with this guy and if he does and you dont have Steel then its GG.After a +2 Haxorus can 2HKO any pokemon you can name on Adamant.Lum Berry has allowed Haxorus to pull off an Outrage 6-0 sweep many times.Taunt for status and Skarmory.Earthquake for coverage.Due to Mold Breaker pokemon like Gengar dont require me to Outrage and Unaware Quagsire gets a punch in the face too.

Terrakion @ Air Balloon
Trait: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Rock Polish
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
Terrakion is one of the most easy Pokemon to set up behind screens and is usually my first pokemon to come out after Deoxys.He is running the classic Double Set Up with Rock Polish and Swords Dance.He provides amazing STAB with Fight+Rock and even skarmory wouldnt want to switch into a +2 close combat being fired off by Terrakion.He can also sweep at a moments notice right at the beggining of game killing all the opponents pokemon if it gets a RP and SD.

Garchomp (M) @ Yache Berry
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang
Garchomp.I never really got the chance to use him Competitively because I started playing during the HGSS days and he was already banned.I run a Sub+Dragon Claw set usually after any steel types are dealt with by Tyranitar which also activates Sand Veil.Behind a Sub+Sand Veil Garchomp can eaisly get a Swords Dance and start Dragon Clawing/Earthquake the MetaGame.Jolly to outspeed positive Base 100s.He is usually my late game Sweeper after all Skarmorys, Ferrothorns and Dragon counters are dead.
The Special One
Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Surf
- Recover
This is what my team needed.I was reluctant on adding a Special Sweepr to my team but after trying Latios I want to my words back.Latios is the glue of my team fixing any weakneses I had.Draco Meteor(Keep Spamming through game), HP Fire and Surf are for amazing coverage along with recover for recovery purposes It is working much beter than TTAR for me.

Deoxys-S @ Light Clay
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Magic Coat
Deoxys-S is just an amazing lead for Hyper Offense it gets the Momentum going right off the bat.With an amazing speed stat it can always get Dual Screens and Stealth Rock and nobocy can stop me because of Taunt.So most of the time my opponent does not get any hazards up which is great for my team since I have 2 LO users.This lead has been used on an old team of min and worked beautifully and will do the same in Hyper Offense.Max HP also aids in the Setup.
ONE FINAL LOOK
Special Thanks To:
Without them this team would not be here.Thanks a lot guys.
