Changes in bold

shuckle.png

Shuckle w/Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP/ 208 Def/ 48 SpDef
Nature: Bold
~Stealth rock
~Gastro acid
~Helping hand
~Knock off
I needed something that could use helping hand and skill swap while still having good stat's and espeon is fine! Shadow ball and HP fighting provide good type coverage. He switches abilities with regigigas and doesnt care about the speed drop since helping hand always outspeeds! He's just here to prepare an uber sweep!

regigigas.png

Regigigas w/LO
Nature:Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 6 HP
~Return
~Earhquake
~Ice punch
~Thunder punch
Regigigas is meant to be uber but after Gastro acid he's an uber sweeping in OU! He's has excelent coverage! Nothing much to say he's just very powerful sweeper.

heatran.png

Heatran w/Choice scarf
Nature:Timid
Evs: 252 SpAtk/ 252 Spd/ 6 HP
~Overheat
~Earthpower
~Explosion
~HP Grass
Overheat for power since he's timid, Explosion when i finish and HP electric>ice because vappy can handle salamence

vaporeon.png

Vaporeon w/Lefties
EVs: what do u suggest?
Nature: Bold
~Protect
~Wish
~Hydro pump
~Haze
He uses haze when heatran overheats to avoid the Spatk drop. Hydro pump > Surf because surf hits both opponents weakly. Wish is standard. Protect is when heatran explodes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

azelf.png

Azelf w/Life orb
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/ 6HP
~Explosion
~Ice punch
~Thunderpunch
~Zen headbutt
Standard physical azelf. Zen headbutt for STAB, Ice punch and thunder punch for coverage, and explosion for when i'm finished. When i'm winning i usually explode.

gengar.png

Gengar w/ Leftovers
Nature: Hasty
EVs: What are the evs for sub punch gar?
~Substitute
~Shadow ball
~Focus punch
~Explosion
The 2 opponents are KOe'd by azelf's explosion while gengar subs and do what he does best: straight sweep. Explosion when i'm finished.

Thanks for reading! Hope you liked it! Rate my team!
 
Espeon should have Protect and Psychic instead of HP and Shadow Ball so Regigagas can have Earthquake instead of Superpower (which lowers his sweeping abilities with the Att. drop, works well alongise Protect and Gengar should Espeon faint). Psychic is for the STAB, and is the best option as a stand alone move.

Vappy only handles Salamance with Ice Beam, so HP Ice on Heatran. HP Grass > HP Electric for Swampert and Rhyperior.

EVs for Subpunch Gengar are up to you, consider what you would be sub punching. Also, Leftovers > Black Sludge because pokemon that Trick your sludge will then Trick it onto one of your other pokemon (though you could just explode to avoid the second or first trick).
 
I'm not one to give EV distributions, just wanted to say it looks good.



I drew your team up in a diagram and it has a lot of synergy. You effectively do this by repeating the Explosion strategy. Also, you prevent the opponent from exploiting this repetition by relying on other strategies. Good job there. But my last point is also your undoing.

You have a lot of synergy, but that is due to the Explosion factor. Take that out and you have issues. Espeon is a sacrificial piece. It is there to take Regigigas' ability away from it. If Regigigas Explodes, all but Vaporeon have synergy with Espeon, but only due to Explosion. Espeon can Helping Hand them, but that's one attack against two foes.
Heatran and Vaporeon... hazing Overheat is good, but the only other synergies are once again with Exploders. The only attacking move you have is Hydro Pump.
Azelf and Gengar... The best Exploding set you have. Azelf can Explode and Gengar doesn't have to Protect. They both have nice moves. But the only other synergy with the rest of your team is through Explosion.
Gengar has synergy with itself with Substitute+Focus Punch, and if combined with an Exploding Azelf it is dangerous.

The underlying theme of your team is Explosion. You have two manifestations of an Explosion combo that stretches throughout your entire team. But should a Damp Quagsire appear, with the right support, you are undone.

Thus with all said, may I make the following recommendations? Give two PKMN of different sets each a Grass move.
Keep an eye out for ways to improve your team's synergy OR remember to control the battle (Exploding to control when your PKMN faint and when you send out who).
 
Thank you for the advice i'l put HP grass on heatran to avoid this. But once again does anyone know good ev spreds for subpunching gar vaporeon?
 
I'm pretty sure after Skill Swap, Regigigas still has its attack halved as well as its speed. Try something with Gastro Acid instead, since I know for a fact its stats return after that.
 
What do you think about that:
Schuckle w/Leftovers
Nature: Bold
EVs: ? (Im really bad at EVs...)
~Gastro acid
~Helping hand
~Knock off
~Toxic?

This over espeon?
 
Thanks mikey, you were really helpful. I just edited and I want to ask again: CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME EVS FOR SUBPUNCHGAR AND VAPOREON!!
 
Hold on...

According to Smogon's entry of Slow Start (http://www.smogon.com/dp/abilities/slow_start), unless I understand "to unnerf" wrong (first time I've seen it...) Skill Swap should do the trick along with Gastro Acid. Sorry Absol Lover on the lack of EV help... But props for choosing Heatran to hold HP Grass, as it also helps relieve its Water trouble.
 
Ok i will use slaking instead of regigigas, does any one know a good movesert for him but not the CB one because i dont want to switch and truant comes back. Thanks Lost.no for the info. And i repeat EVS FOR SUBPUNCH GAR AND VAPPY! I thought smogon was the best place to rate my team. I guess i'm wrong...
