RKS Prized Possession # 3: Team Deity

[RKS]

RKS Prized Possession # 3

Sup guys, this is my 3rd RMT on smogon, and im still not good at RMT, i apoligize for not putting more indepth stuff, and for my speeling mistakes and grammar. This time i present you to Team Deity. Team Deity is a remake of my old team that did well but had its weakness, so i fixed it up to make this one. This team's purpose is to status and stall/ Set up. The team record up to now is 13-1. I tried so many different pokes, items, move set, to make it better than it is now, but i need new fresh ideas. I hope you guys can help me thanx in advance.

Team At A Glance:

Team In Depth:

Gallade: Achilles @ Lumberry/ Wide Lens
Ability: SteadFast
Nature: Impish
EV's: 252 hp / 234 def / 24 sp.def
Moveset:
-Close Combat/ Brick Break
-Night Slash
-Will-O-Wisp
-Hypnosis/ Thunder Wave

I love my gallade for some reason people don't know what gallade is it. gallade is my status poke. I lead off with hypnosis and hope it does not miss. Next turn hoping for a switch like gyarados, salamence, etc, i will do Will-O-Wisp, so i got two pokes status. Then i will switch to a proper counter. For the item im not sure which one to use i tried both, both worked good so i need help there. A problem i had was people setting up screens on me so that's why i have brick break as an option. Hypnosis misses to much without wide lens so i was thinking how bout twave which i haven't tried yet, but will soon.

Snorlax: Thick Fat @ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
Nature: Careful
EV's: 168 hp / 120 def / 222 sp.def
Moveset:
-Body Slam/ Return
-Crunch/ Pursuit
-Curse
-Rest

This thing = Beast!. so yeah body slam is for stab and has a good percentage for parahax, it goes with my team. crunch is for ghost and psychic pokes, and set up for the sweep. I use snorlax as my sp.def wall also so my walls are sweepers. Im not sure about what moves to use body slam goes with the theme of my team but return hits harder so i need your opinion there. A good friend of mine told me to put pursuit on snorlax since i use him as a sp.def wall forcing a switch but i haven't tried it yet but will soon. I also tried self destruct but i will be without a physical attacker, it worked good but in the long run it does no good for my team.

Suicune: NorthWind @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Bold
EV's: 252 hp / 252 def / 6 sp.atk
Moveset:
-Surf
-Hidden Power(Electric)
-Calm Mind
-Rest/ Roar

This thing = Beast!. So yeah suicune is my def wall. Surf is for stab hp(elec) is for gyarados and for bulky waters that try to poison me and stall but never works, so yeah i try to set up in the right time for the sweep. I tried the roar suicune but not in this team, i waz going to do one but i said no because i would not win most of my matches without rest, but a good friend of mine told me to go with roar to get stealth rock damage and toxic/burn depends if gallade and umbreon has done there job.

Shaymin: Gratitude @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Bold
EV's: 252 hp / 252 def / 6 sp.def
Moveset:
-Seed Flare/ Grass Knot
-Leech Seed
-Aromatherapy
-Rest

This little thing saved me so much times. So yeah this little guy job is to heal its teammates from status with aromatherapy which works wonders with umbreon's wish and also Snorlax and Suicune love this little guy once they have rested. So they will come back out with prefect health to start a sweep. leech seed works well if my opponent pokes are status with toxic or burn. Im not sure if i should use grassknot over seed flare to be in the save side since seed flare has terrible accuracy but has good power, so i need your help there.

Umbreon: Darkness @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
Nature: Careful
EV's: 252 hp / 94 sp.def / 164 speed
Moveset:
-Taunt/ protect
-toxic
-wish
-payback

This little guys is my wisher and toxic status and stall to get some damage in. i tried both taunt and protect both do there job but i prefer taunt over protect but im willing to change it. and also synchronize is pwnage in this team, i switch in a poke that i kno thats is going to status and bam a job well done.

Mesprit: Emotion @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Bold
EV's: 252 hp / 164 def / 94 sp.atk
Moveset:
-Psychic
-Ice Beam
-Hidden Power(Fire)
-Stealth Rock

This little creature sets up stealthrock. Mesprit hits infernape, salamence, and scizor(yeah its faster than scizor). I was thinking about changing its ev's to sp.attack and speed but i dont kno yet i need to see if its good first.

Previous Members:

Celebi: Hidden Leaf @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Bold
EV's: 252 hp / 128 def / 128 sp.def

I change celebi for shaymin sicne gengar pwned the first deity team. celebi was my leecher and twaver.

Ability: Own Tempo
Nature: Jolly
EV's: 96 hp / 120 def / 40 sp.def / 252 speed
Moveset:

i changed smeargle for umbreon. smeargle was used for his ability to not to get roared and pass ingrain to suicune or snorlax. But live got cut short by pokes that knew bulletpunch, extremespeed etc.

Threat List:
Electivire- choice banded electivire hurts gallade with earthquake or stab thunder punch, snorlax with cross chop, suicune with thunderpunch, shaymin with firepunch or icepunch, umbreon with cross chop.

yanmega- choice specs yanmega hurts gallade, shaymin, and mesprit with stab bugbuzz.

more to come soon once i have faced them and had problems.

I'd go with Wide Lens on Gallade, with Hypnosis accuracy drop and general unreliability of your two status moves you will benefit from the increased accuracy. Dual Screens also aren't too common, and Brick Break is a generally poor option against them anyway so just go with Close Combat. Do you find that Rest does well on Snorlax? If it works then fine but it might be worth trying Fire Blast or Self Destruct in that slot. Fire Blast will act as a Lure to Skarmory and will do up to 58%, and Self Destruct will destroy anything that might be problematic to you. Go with Body Slam for the extra paralysis and Crunch is gerenally more reliable than Pursuit is, those would be the two I would choose.

I'd keep Mesprit's EVs as they are the goal of the set is mainly to counter mons like Infernape, Flygon etc... so I would keep it the way that it is as you will need the bulk to switch in more than once.

As for your team as a whole, I see Umbreon as a weak link, he will allow in POkemon such as salamence and let them DD up, and deal some major hurt to your team, I think a Vaporeon would be much better suited to the Wishpassing job that you want the Pokemon in that slot to do, a moveset like this should do:

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Bold Nature / Water Abosorb
EVs: 188 HP / 252 Def / 68 SpA
~ Surf
~ Ice Beam
~ Wish
~ Protect

Now this makes Suicune seem a little more redundant so we might want to remove that, I dopn't know test it out and see if Vaporeon and Suicune "work" together, if they don't then try running something like Machamp there that will help you out against CBtar who is a "threat" to this team. With the removal of Suicune you will become a little more Gyarados weak so maybe Thunderbolt is better than HP Fire on Mesprit, as machamp will do "OK" against Scizor, it depends which threatens you more really, again more of a "test out and see what works" issue, so try them out see how it goes =D

Well buddy, good luick with your team, and I hope that some of this helps.

Its pretty obvious how this team has problems with Fighting-type Pokemon, Heracross, out of all of them seems to be the one that can destroy this team completely, but I'll get to this later. I guess Gallade is straight here, leads with double status, but why not use something that will actually give you an advantage if your plan is to stall and set-up, I think something like a Rosarade can be of some use here, it has the ability to put Pokemon to sleep with Sleep Powder, while it can also set-up Toxic Spikes to help with the stalling, its a pretty nifty Pokemon that is worth considering over Gallade. If you're going to run CurseLax, I would suggest using a much more effective EV spread to increase potential. The EV spread I would suggest is 204 HP / 52 Atk / 252 Def @ Careful, 204 HP gives you 512 HP, which is a Leftovers number, while the Defense will let Snorlax handle Outrages and Close Combats like a champ after 2+ Curses or so, and I would suggest running Rest / Curse / Return / Fire Punch for more coverage. The Suicune looks fine, just consider Roar for shuffling the opponents team, which will server for scouting purposes as well. I honestly don't see why Umbreon is here, its one of those Pokemon that just sits there and does nothing, even with Toxic in its moveset, its a pretty excuse to have it in this team. I would replace Umbreon with Zapdos, something that will actually handle Fighting-type Pokemon like Heracross and Lucario, and will also handle Scizor and Yanmega, whom you say you have problems with. I would suggest going with a more Defensive EV spread, 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 Spe @ Bold seems like a good idea, you can run Light Screen in the moveset for more insurace against Choice Specs Yanmega (lol). This still leaves you open to Tyranitar, so you will need Suicune to survive longer, you can run Rest Talk, if you run Toxic Spikes + Rest Talk Suicune, its a pretty effective way to bring big boy down.

For some reason, I feel this team isn't going to do well, its just a gut feeling though, so I need you to prove me wrong!

edit: what the fuck

Kind of interesting team, however suicune should be bold, which is +def -atk where impish is +def -spatk. Im also pretty sure pursuit+curse on snorlax is an illegal combination, so use crunch. As for shaymin, leech seed and rest seem a little redundant, so why not try substitute over rest for the subseed set?

[Scimjara]

I been looking at ure teams and prize posseson 1 and 2 are cool but i love gallades as leads use this.
Gallade@ Focus Sash
Swords Dance
Shadow Sneak
Close Combat
Stone Edge

This lead gallade atleast k0s 2-3 pokemon every game and can take out 8/10 most common leads. Hypnosis is pretty much garbage u should use this with 252atk/252speed/6hp

As for suicune just use decent subcune that really works wonders for this team i mean already u have 3 pokemon with rest or just stick with roar. I personally dont think shymin needs rest but u have aromatheropy witch is nice
