well after some more testing I have created my new team. I am open to critiques.
I have been around Serebii and have seen my share of smogon teams and heres a team idea I have. Please dnt be too hard on me I am new but I am open to others ideas.
this is a new singles team that I have used on PO and its done well so far...so tell me what you think
Summary:
Azelf@Focus Sash
Hasty-252Spattk-252Spe
-SR
-Taunt
-Fire Blast
-Explosion
A rather bland lead Azelf. Sr is a great entry hazard while Taunt destroys stallers and other entry hazard users. Fire Blast is very usefull for Skarmory and other steel leads like Metagross. Explosion is pretty obvious. So far the only real troublesome leads are choice scarf leads and Aerodactyl which outspeeds and taunts Azelf. Otherwise I can usually just switch in if the opponent lead will take out Azelf.
Venusaur@Black Sludge
Bold-252SpDef-252Hp
-Energy Ball
-HP Fire
-Sleep Powder
-Leech Seed
This used to be a Roserade but after deciding to ditch Toxic Spikes I needed a bulkier grass type. Venusaur was my choice. With him i still get Sleep Powder and grass fire coverage. Leech seed was chosen over synthesis to help support my team a bit and for nice residual damage. Hp Fire is for Steels and Energy ball is for bulky waters especially Swampert who Zapdos hates. Black Sludge is for recovery. Im using Venusaur also to take out other Toxic Spikes which are quite annoying.
Suicune@Leftovers
Timid-32Hp-252Spatk-224Spe
-Surf
-HP Electric
-Substitute
-Calm Mind
Calm Mind Suicune is a monster. With a few CMs and decent coverage few can stop it. Sub prevents status and lets me set up more. Toxic Spikes prevent it from being a sitting duck while CM. HP Electric destroys Gyarados and other Bulky Waters that try to switch in. Ive gone with an offensive set to surprise the opponent who will think its the common crocune and it outspeeds a decent amount of opponents.
Zapdos@Leftovers
Bold-248Hp-224Def-36Spe
-Thunderbolt
-Hp Ice
-Roost
-Toxic
Zapdos is another nice semi staller that pairs well with Suicune. Its a defensive ev spread since Suicune sponges up most special attacks. Thunderbolt is a nice attack in general and STAB helps. HP Ice is of course terrific coverage in tandem with electric. HP Grass is unneeded with Venusaur destroying Swampert. Toxic are for those annoying tanks that will out stall my team.
Scizor(Technician)@Choice Band
Adamant-252Spe-252Atk
-U turn
-Bullet Punch
-Pursuit
-Superpower
Scizor is a great revenge killer with its technician STAB Bullet Punches. Choice Band adds power to the low base power moves. Pursuit is great for pokes switching out such as Gengar and Azelf. Superpower is just great against Heatran who can be trouble and Tyranitar to get back the attack loss. The main issue here of course is that any poke that resists BP is very hard to take down such as bulky waters in which case i will use U turn.
Infernape @ Life Orb
Naive
252 Atk / 64 SpAtk / 192 Spe
-Close Combat
-U-Turn
-Stone Edge
-Overheat
The last slot is still kinda hazy but so far im using this Infernape. Life Orb and nice speed are deadly while STAB Fire and Fighting is nice. Close Combat is a terrific move for some top threats(Tyranitar, Heatran, Snorlax) and Stone Edge of course for flying types. U turn is for scouting and some free damage.
Threats list:
Ddance Gyarados-gets up 1 ddance while i switch in Zapdos and gets kod my thunderbolt.
Tyranitar-either kod by SuperPower or Closecombat
Hippowdon-Suicune surfs it to death
Scizor-tanked bp and Thunderbolted by Zapdos
Heatran-Suicune absorbs Fireblast and sets up
Ddance Dragonite-same as Gyarados
Choice Scarf Flygon-Tanked by Zapdos
Swampert-Venusaur tanks and uses Energy Ball
Suicune-Venusaur can tank its Surf and leech seed it or Zapdos can use Toxic if its not a crocune.
Well thats it please tell me what you think and any suggestions.
