RMT GEN V (again)

I've done a lot of reworking of this team, and now, it seems prety sturdy. Tell me what you think!



Whimsicott @ Leftovers
Ability: Mischievous Heart
EVs: 90 Def / 168 SDef / 252 Speed
IVs: 31 Def/ 31 SDef/ 31 Speed
Nature Timid
- Encore
- Taunt
- Leech Seed
- Substitute

This pokemon is my lead. It's stats let it force a speed tie with other whimsicotts, and make its defenses equal. substitute + leech seed is for stall, in adition to using leech seed for recovery on other pokemon. Encore locks an opponent into a stat boosting move, while I switch for a good counter. Taunt stops entry hazards. Air mail stops trick/switcheroo.

Electross
~: Coil
~: Wild Charge
~: Brick Break
~: Dragon Tail
item: Leftovers
nature: Careful
evs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
IVs: 31 HP/ 31 Atk/ 31 Spd

This is a basic Electross set. Coil for a defense and Atk boost, then go to town. Sp Def makes it bulky on both ends of the spectrum. Wild charge is STAB, and Brick break hits steels, rocks, and darks. Dragon tail hits most things for neutral, and causes switches.

Volcarona @ Lum Berry
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Speed
IVs: 31 Def/ 31/ Speed/ 31 SAtk
Nature Modest
- Flame Dance
- Butterfly Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Psychic

Basic bulky "moth dancer" set. butterfly dance to boost stats, then sweep. Flame dance for accuracy and a sp. atk boost. bug buzz is the other STAB option. psychic kills poisons, and most things the other moves dont. lum berry stops status from ruining his sweep.

Conkeldurr @ Leftovers
Ability: Encourage
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Speed
IVs: 31 Hp/ 31 Atk / 31 Def
Nature Adamant
- Substitute
- Mach Punch
- Focus Punch
- Payback

Substitute blocks status, then focus punch kills A LOT. mach punch finishes off anything else. payback hits ghosts. apreciates leech seed support from whimsicott. leftovers + leech seed lets him keep making subs.

Zoroark @ Life Orb
Ability: Illusion
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Speed
IVs: 31 Hp / 31 SAtk / 31 Speed
Nature Timid
- Night Burst
- Nasty Plot
- Focus Blast
- Flamethrower

Comes in looking like Cofagrigus, so no one will try a fighting move on him. in adition, they both learn nasty plot, so they might not relize it's zoroark at first. night burst is STAB, and the chance of accuracy loss is nice. Focus blast hits blissey and rocks. Flamethrower hits steels.

Rueniclus
move 1: Calm Mind
move 2: Recover
move 3: Psycho Shock
move 4: Focus Blast
item: Leftovers / Life Orb
ability: Magic Guard
nature: Modest
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4SpD
IVS 0 speed / 31 HP/ 31 DEf

Uses calm mind to boost his Sp. def and Sp. Atk, then, with his natural defense, he can stall/ sweep. PSycho shock is STAB, and wFocus blast hit its counters, and it also hits blissy. recover lets him recover (DUH), and Magic gaurd prevents burn, poison and entry hazards.
 
Bump

Also, here is a threat list:

Gliscor: walls everything except cloyster, and stalls him out with toxic. (funny, i thought dream world gliscor wasnt alowed in 5th gen standard OU)

tyranitar: sandstorm whittles health, other than that, not too bad unless on a sandstorm team.
darmanitan: not sure why, this thing just messes me up.
hippowdon: sandstorm whittles health, and uses entry hazards plus roar.
garchomp: this things good at revenge killing, then sword dances and outrages to sweep.
excadrill: sword dances then sweeps in sandstorm.
Voltos: Mischiveous heart, plus good bulk, and attack walls my team.
landolos: Mischiveous heart, plus good bulk, and attack walls my team.
tornados: Mischiveous heart, plus good bulk, and attack walls my team.
heatran: walls my team, sets up hazards.
kojondo: fake out and u turn, high jump kick too.
Skarmory: uses entry hazards plus whirlwind, brave bird hits my team hard.
latias: walls my team, and hits just about everything i've got
Jeliscent: stalls me out with recover and will-o wisp
breloom: spores and focus punches my team, and uses poison heal.
scizor: priorety moves and u turn hurt my team
Swampert: uses entry hazards plus roar.

Thats all i've found so far. Unfortunatly, these guys are everywhere!
 
ok, i'll try that, any other ideas? I pretty much suicde whimsicot.

edit: pics wont work for me... it just posts a link.
 
if I give it leftovers, what should I run on conckledurr, since its his only recovery outside of leech seed?

Are you playing with Item Clause on or something? Because you can give more than one of the same item to different members of your team.
 
I thought you were always supposed to play that way, unless specificley agreed to use multiples. I feel stupid now...
 
BUMP: ok, I updated whimsicotts item to leftovers, any ideas to make this better? I want to change cofagrigus, but dont know what to change. any ideas?

<EDIT> maybe I could use shibarudon (eel thing), gliscor, or another bulky pokemon...
 
I'd definitely drop the speed EVs on Whimsicott and put them into HP. That gives it much more bulk, and the speed lost hardly means anything because every move has priority. I know you mentioned speed ties with opposing Whims, but that seems like such a minor benefit compared to having a full hp investment. It's not like your Whims can do much to enemy ones anyway.
 
Just a quick nitpick, use the iron fist ability on conckledurr (what a horrible name), as it doesn't seem like you have any moves that encourage would boost anyway and it makes Focus punch hit like a truck. On the moth, max out speed. The bulk is nice but doesn't mean very much when Rocks take away 50 percent of your health each time. Also use max SAtk/Hp with it.
 
Bump: Updated team members for more bulk...

I dont have WI-FI, so no iron fist for me. T_T
I had whimsicott without HP evs so it could heal more with leech seed.
I liked the bulk on volcarona, but since I don't have spin support I guess I should use a faster varient.
