RMT for VGC 2010 (go TR!)

This is my idea for the upcoming VGC.

Infernape@focus sash
-fake out
-taunt
-fire blast
-close combat

The main lead. This infernape is there to make setting up TR easier. Fake out potential threats that can be covered under trick room. Taunt stops other TR users, gravity teams (i expect to be seeing at least one due to gravity being a new tutor move in HG/SS) and it also cripples pokemon like blissey or bronzong. Fire blast and close combat are both powerful moves so that infernape can sweep to a limited degree outside trick room so this team isn't entirely screwed if there is no trick room. Since EQ is a popular move, cresselia or giratina-0 would enjoy switching into it.

Dialga@leftovers
-fire blast
-dragon pulse
-metal burst
-trick room

Dialga will be setting up TR because not many people would expect it to do that so taunters won't be taunting it. It will take advantage of TR and sweep. Metal burst is there to get surprise KO's (thank u HG/SS) and dialga can survive most attacks due to its defenses. dragon pulse and fire blast go pretty well together b/c they hit a lot of things for neutral damage, and with a 150 special attack stat, it'll hurt.

Luckily, both of dialga's weaknesses are covered by its partner, giratina-0 and cresselia can switch into fighting type attacks.


Giratina-0@griseous orb (do i rly have to mention the item when its giratina-0?)
-shadow force
-dragon pulse/draco meteor
-earthquake
-aura sphere

Since Giratina-0 is immune to Dialga's weaknesses and dialga can switch into its weaknesses, it makes a good teammate. It is a general mixed attacker. Since it'll be sweeping mostly under trick room, shadow sneak won't be necessary. Shadow force is there b/c a common method to survive trick room is to stall it out with protect. Normal types and steel types that switch in will have to deal with EQ and aura sphere. And if under TR it manages to end against a slower enemy then that opponent will be faster outside TR and their attack will miss.


Cresselia@light clay
-reflect
-light screen
-trick room
-lunar dance

This cresselia is there for support and should be showing up around midgame. It can get the screens up so dialga and giratina-0 are even harder to KO. Since she is very bulky, she can set up TR under the screens if need be. She also fixes the earthquake vunarability of the leads. Since this cresselia has no way of restoring hp, it will eventually die. When its close to dying, Thats when lunar dance is used and giratina-0 or dialga (or infernape if its still alive) have a second chance to sweep.
 
Mamoswine could screw this team over.

Aerodactyl: Just asking for an Ice Shard or Avalanche.

Dialga: Earthquake Fodder.

Giratina: Same as Aerodactyl.

Empoleon: Same as Dialga.

So yeah. I'd make a few changes.
 
I think Giratina will not be able to transform at the VGC into its Origin Forme, so I would suggest you change it for something like Kyogre or stuff.

You could use Blizzard on Empoleon, for double hitting stuff.

Aerodactyl is not that useful in TR, so I would suggest changing him for something that moves good under TR, and that can double hit stuff, maybe hitmontop or Kangaskhan. SR is not that useful in VGC, because the metagame is extremely fast, and with it you could only effectively hit Togekiss, Rayquaza, Lugia and Ho-oh.

what makes u think u can't give a griseous orb to giratina for VGC? Ur right, SR won't be very effective. its mainly there for screwing up focus sashes. U know any good wish users for TR? maybe i could use a smeargle........


I've updated it anyways.
