Revenge: My Turn. RMT?

Olijar

Welcome to my first serious attempt at a team that will win. It's been less than stellar thus far. I haven't been keeping track, but it's about .500 so far. I think it has potential and I'm simply a poor predictor. What do you think?


Leading off: Skarmory
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP, 6 Atk, 252 Def
Holding some: Leftovers

Stealth Rock
Brave Bird
Whirlwind
Roost

Fairly normal Skarmory. Whilrwind once Stealth Rocks are up, Brave Bird for some STAB, and Roost to give him some lastability. Simple enough.

Special Wall: Blissey
Nature: Gentle
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp Def, 6 Sp Atk
Holding some: Leftovers

Shadow Ball
Seismic Toss
Aromatherapy
Softboiled

Welcome to a weird Blissey version I am testing. Shadow Ball is the messed up part here. I put it on to stop Stalls between Blissey and Gengar, etc. What? I can't Seismic Toss you? Take a Shadow Ball. I have no calculated damage on that, your welcome to do it yourself if you want. Aromatherapy is for Status help, I hate Status.

Spinning Sponge: Tentacruel
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 Def, 252 Sp Def, 6 Sp Atk
Holding: Black Sludge

Sludge Bomb
Toxic Spikes
Surf
Rapid Spin

I needed a spinner. Badly. So here it is. Toxic Spikes can help support Skarmory if he is still alive while this thing is out, and Surf for some Good STAB. Sludge Bomb is filler for now: Suggestions?

Mix it Up: Infernape
Nature: Hasty
EVs: 252 Sp Atk, 232 Spd, 24 Atk
Holding more: Leftovers

Close Combat
Grass Knot
Flamethrower
Earthquake

MixApe - Nasty Plot + Earthquake= amazing pwnage of other Mixapes. Seriously, this thing has been owning MixApes and Blazikens all around. It's amazing. Other than that, Standard stuff.

Scarfs are cute: Porygon Z
Nature: Modest
EVs: 6 HP, 252 Spd, 252 Sp Atk
Wears a : Choice Scarf

Ice Beam
ThunderBolt
Dark Pulse
Psychic

Welcome to a scarfed world. This guy has 405 Sp Atk and 418 Spd with this set, and I love it. It has good coverage on basically anything, and it takes you down. Averages about 1.5-2 pokemon killed per game.

Finally: Rampardos
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Spd, 252 Atk, 6 Hp
Kill you with: Choice Scarf

Earthquake
SuperPower
Stone Edge
Outrage

Yes, this is a ScarfPos. He has been somewhat effective. Let's just say those Rotom switchins haven't been working. Being Scarfed lets him be somewhat Standalone, and he's been a stalwart Ally thus far.

The Problem with Leading with Skarmory is that anything with taunt, (namely Deoxys-E and Azelf) cause serious problems for it. Since Nobody on your Team is REALLY suitable for it on your team, It may be worth replacing it with a Lead Deoxys-E. Not only are you able to set up SR, but you are also able to set up 8 turns of Light Screeen and Reflect, which is great for setting up a sweeper or just to spread status etc.
Your Blissey set is... just strange. Shadow Ball is not a functional move on it at all. If you intend to use the set with Arometherapy to help remove status, then I recommend this set:

Blissey@ leftovers
Natural Cure
Calm
252 Def / 40 SpA / 216 SpD

-Aromatherapy
-Ice Beam
-Toxic/Thunder Wave
-Softboiled

If one of your Pokémon is indeed statused and you send out Blissey, it is somewhat predictable that you'll use Aromatherapy, giving a physical sweeper free reign to switch in, so you're likely going to want to use Ice Beam or Thunder Wave on the switch. The more you know about your opponent's team at that point, the better.

EQ on mixape is quite strange... the only thing it really helps you is with is opposing Fire types not named Heatran (Close Combat OHKOs if I recall correctly), and electric types. If you personally notice that Magnezone (CC would do more anyway) and like... Arcanine are causing problems, then use it, but I'd strongly recommend you replace it with Nasty Plot.
Not all that familiar with Scarf Rampardos, but keep it if it works.

That leaves porygon-Z...
I'm not saying the scarf set is bad, in fact, it's very good, but you already If you want to try out a fun set that also offers terrific type coverage, then try this out!

Porygon-Z@ Salac Berry
Adaptability
Modest
6 HP / 128 SpA / 124 SpD / 252 Spe

-Substitute
-Tri Attack
-Hidden power (Water)
-Nasty Plot

Porygon-Z is a fearsome special attacker, and as such, forces quick switches to special walls. Using this free turn, you have two options. If your opponent has a Blissey, you should Nasty Plot first. This will lead your opponent to believe it is a regular Nasty Plotter, and they will likely attempt to Thunder Wave you. This will allow you to set up a Substitute on them. You can Nasty Plot a second time as they break your Substitute. After two Nasty Plots, you should be able to 2HKO most Blissey. Most opponents will not Thunder Wave again, thinking you will Substitute. If you Nasty Plot, then Substitute, then Nasty Plot, then Tri Attack, then Substitute, you will beat every Blissey with a Salac Boost. If you play intelligently, you may even walk away with a Substitute depending on their reaction to your first Tri Attack. Flamethrower/Toxic Blissey has no chance. With the given Special Defense EVs it will take two hits to break one of Porygon-Z's Substitutes with Blissey's Special Attack of choice (Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, or Ice Beam). Take advantage of this, and you should very easily win the game.

Your choice if you want to use this set, but I highly recommend it ^____^
 
I really like that set for Porygon, but the one I have now has been marvelous, so I'm not going to mess with it. Thanks though.

Skarm: Yeah, I know, I have been having that issue. It was solved easily though. If I recognize a Taunter (usually D-e), I switch in Porygon, and precede to Dark Pulse it. Most people don't realize its Scarf and just set up. After I kill it, I switch in Tentacreal ASAP and Rapid Spin if they set up SR.

Blissey: I'm beginning to come around to that set, but I'm going to keep testing the one I have for a little. If it doensn't start being better, I'll try out yours.

Mixape: Nasty Plot hasn't seemed helpful to me in the past. EQ gives some coverage against Poisons and Rocks as well, btw. Idk. I haven't seen a reason to deal with it yet. Him and Porygon have been my stars thus far.
