Hi! Very new to smogon level of competitive play. So be nice, but I welcome harsh non-personal comments as long as it would help my team become better. Lol. Here goes.
Mamoswine @ focus sash
Ability: Thick Fat
Jolly / 252atk, 252spe, 4hp
-SR
-Ice Shard
-Icicle Crash
-EQ
Amazing lead so far. Mamo makes sure that SR is on the field before it faints. I'm also able to take down any weather starter that doesn't make it rain or snow. Faster than spore Smeargle, klefki runs away and that's about it. The only trouble I have with it is when I face a lead megakhan so people should stop using him. Kidding
Talonflame Choice Band
Ability: Gale Wings
Adamant / 252atk, 132spe, 128hp
-flare blitz
-brave bird
-U-turn
-tailwind
Who doesn't love TF? I does wonders. It resists both bullet punch and mach punch, even walls are left with half HP with BB. U-turn for my volturn offense which I really love cause TF and helio covers for each of their weaknesses. Tailwind works even with this set. I usually brave bird anything frail until I'm left with little HP then I switch my baby out. Next time it comes in, I use tailwind to set up for my sweepers. Doesn't work all the time though I admit but I can't think of anything to replace TW ATM
Heliolisk Choice Specs
Ability: Dry skin
Timid / 252s.Atk, 252 Spe, 4 s.def
-voltswitch
-surf
-grass knot
-HP ice
Say hi to my amazing lizard. I'm really at awe on how good this Pokemon is together with TF. Hydro pump, thunder bolt, shadow ball (lol), you name it, heliolisk will take it. Volt turn all day cause of its blazing speed!! I never saw its normal typing as an disadvantage because so far it really is useful especially mindgames with a certain shield and sword Pokemon. HP ice is for gliscor who I really hate, GK for gastrodon who I also hate and surf for coverage.
Starmie @ leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Timid / 252s.Atk, 252spe, 4hp
-ice beam
-hydro pump
-rapid spin
-psyshock
Hmm.. Starmie. I'm not sure why Patrick's sister is on my team but I like what she does offensive-wise. She's far from bulky, specially this set but I kinda like her having the offensive presence even if her role is just to do ballet when there are rocks, spiky stuffs and webs on the dance floor. It also doesn't mind burns, paralysis, sleep and toxic cause of natural cure and that's a big thing given that status attacks would cripple both my sweepers. Hydro pump, regardless of the nerf, still hits hard. Psyshock over thunderbolt because i like the coverage better and a switching Gengar faints plus its a STAB. Ice beam for M-Garchomp, DD Dragonite (massive damage even with marvel scale) and just about any dragons who think they're still cool even with the surplus of M-Mawiles.
Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Ability: Marvel Scale
Jolly / 252atk, 252spe, 4 s.def
-dragon dance
-fire punch
-outrage
-EQ
This used to moxie salamence but the lack of outrage coverage from that bahamut is very noticable. Plus! the set up opportunity I get from my orange barney compared to salamence has helped me.. a lot. My strategy is simple. Starmie removes SR from the field, she dies, I take out dragonite, for some reason the opposing pokemon attempts to WoW or T-Wave me but lum berry saves me or they switch to a counter only to realize that who can counter a full HP +1 dragonite??, I dragon dance and magic happens. The common steel/fairy switch-in is unprepared for fire punch. The non-steel walls think that they could tank outrage and EQ, well... should I replace it with roost?
Lucario @ Lucarionite
Ability: Jutified / Adaptability
Jolly / 252atk, 252spe, 4hp
-Close Combat
-Extreme Speed
-Bullet Punch
-Swords Dance
OMG! oh my God! This is the best mega pokemon. There's a million chance to set up SD due to the number of resistance my baby has. Power punch M-Khan fails to KO me (based on experience, twice) and did I mention the speed tier increase?? The only problem I have with M-Lucario is Dragonte now feels insignificant cause M-Lucario destroys everything. Kidding. You might be raising your eyebrows with my Extreme Speed coverage but it's my only counter to a weakened Talonflame. Gliscor has never given me problems cause my teammates take care of 'em. A +2 extreme speed also OHKOs greninja (not sure if a +2 BP also does) and that's big cause I hate that frog spoiling my fun. Though, just my opinion, M-Lucario will be banned to uber tier so i'm using it as much as I can right now cause I know i'm gonna miss it.
That's about it folks. Please Rate My Team. THANKS!!
