This team was not made for competitive battle, but for instead made to have lots of fun with my oponent. I will greatly appreacite any defects and any help needed to make it a better team and be able to actually play on the ladder. Now let us proceed to my team Note: This team was made strictly for shoddybattle.
Team at a glance :
Team in depth:
Metagross (L100) Lum Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 208 HP/76 Atk/224 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Earthquake
- Meteor Mash
- Stealth Rock
My favorite lead metagross.Metagross gets his job done 90% of time. Against leads like Infernape with this evs it will live their Fire Blast 100% of the time making me able to use earthquake and the kill them with Bullet Punch if they had carried a sash. Meteor Smash + Bullet Punch takes those frail Suicide Leads before they can go BOOM. Against slower leads like Hippodown I lay Stealth Rock and then proceed to switch to my next pokemon.

Gyarados (L100) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
- Ice Fang
This is my first Dragon Dancer in the team. With one Dragon Dance I 2OHKO the mighty steel bird, skarmory. The flinch chance of waterfall should be never let down as with 1 Dragon Dance it will surely help. Jolly Nature is a must and I won't change it since most Jolteon's come in while I Dragon Dance and still expect me to be slower than them. Stone Edge is for coverage against other Gyarados or Salamence. Ice Fangs hits Choice Banded Flygon and is my only way of dealing moderate damage against celebi.

Kingdra (L100) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 240 Atk/16 Spd/252 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Draco Meteor
- Waterfall
- Rain Dance
- Hydro Pump
Now I needed a pokemon that could break through common walls and a weather changer so smeargle could take its roll. Hydro Pump in the rain OHKOes Skarmory, Bronzong, Hippodown, and has a chance of OHKOing Swampert. Waterfall is there for Blissey and friends whoo think they can take a walk in the park out with my Kingdra. Draco Meteor is there for Bulky Waters and takes around 75% out of a normal Suicune before a calm mind and around 60% out of vaporeon's HP.

Salamence (L100) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 232 Atk/252 Spd/24 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Fire Blast
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Outrage
My other deadly dancer, Salamence. Most pokemon scream in fear at its sight and run away. I choose Naive nature to at least tie with other base 100 positive speed nature pokemon, such as Flygon or Jirachi that could prove deadly to my sweep. Yet another pokemon that is Stealth Rock weak. Scizor is not a problem since Donphan can take its Bullet Punches all day, Rapid Spin and hurt it with STAB Earthquake. If my last pokemon has not yet been revealed I will either swicth to Gyarados and dent some damage on scizor or switch to Donphan. STAB Outrage hurts everything not resistant to it. Earthquake and Fire Blast are there to take care of Skarmory and Heatren.

Donphan (L100) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP/6 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Rapid Spin
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
My Rapid Spinner. Having two pokemon Stealth Rock weak and having my last pokemon have a Focus Sash, ment I obviously needed a spinner. This is the standard wall and my main pokemon I switch to when I see Scizor lurking around. It is a great wall and should not be understimated. It serves its purpose on most of the games.
---
Smeargle (L1) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: None
Nature: Docile ( Neutral)
- Dragon Rage
- Trick Room
- Spore
- Endeavor
Now to the star of the Show, Smeargle! Yes you heard my right, and no you are not seeing things smeargle is my last and most unpredictable pokemon. Yes he is Level One and for a good reason. I bring in smeargle on any pokemon I know will attack me for sure. First Turn I set up Trick Room. Then Spore them. I then Endeavor bringing them to 1 HP and then use Dragon Rage. This Cycle only wastes 4 turns of the 5 Trick Room takes so I could repeat the cycle another times except using Spore first then use Trick Room. No EVs are needed as he is level one. Nature is also uneeded.
---
Conclusion: I built the team around one of the most unpredictable pokemon smeargle. And for this reason I needed a Spinner and a Weather Changer. Donphan and Kingdra fit the job. I needed two offensive pokemon that could destroy Defensive walls, Gyarados and Salamence surged from there. Stealth Rock is needed in most games and thats why I brought my favorite lead, Metagross.
Threats: I was thinking what could counter Smeargle I had weather changers already taken care of. Entry hazards were disposed by Donphan. So I tought, what pokemon could also counter smeargle? Priority users. Lucario and Scizor being the most common of all and both being physically offensive on the most part I choose 2 Intimidaters that could take care of them. Gyarados especially handling scizor since it resists his attack, and Salamence taking care of Lucario before it Sword Dances, since he is resistant to his 120 Base Power STAB attack, Close Combat.
Now I'm done with my team now it's your turn to help me get it better. Have a nice day and please RMT.
