Yep, for those who remember me from my first RTM, I'm back, this time with a Team that looks (to me) a lot better.
1. Ninjask @ Focus Sash
Jolly, 252 Att/252 Speed
Swords Dance
Protect
Baton Pass
X-Scissor
Your basic Ninjask Lead. Has Focus Sash to ensure that it can get off a Swords Dance. I can usually get 2 S-Dances off by predicting the opponent using Stealth Rock. This has often run into problems with Leads like Aerodactyl and Skarmory, and could use a move to beat these and other leads.
2. Gyarados @ Muscle Band
Adamant, 252 Attack/252 Speed
Dragon Dance
Ice Fang
Earthquake
Waterfall
My Teams most effective Pokemon. This can do 2 things (1. Receive Boosts from Ninjask or 2. Use D-Dance, in case Ninjask can't BP to Gyarados for whatever reason) then gets a good-effective hit on all 492 Pokemon. Most likely on my Team to Sweep other Teams. I definately need a new Item for this thing, seeing as with its almost-good item it can be so good.
3. Metagross @ Lum Berry
Adamant, 252 Hp/236 Atk/12 Def/8 Spe
Stealth Rock
Explosion
Earthquake
Bullet Punch.
Metagross's main purpose is to set up Stealth Rock (mostly to annoy Salamence). Lum Berry makes sure that it can get off it's S-Rock. After using Stealth Rock, Bullet Punch is my Main choice because of its STAB and priority, although it can usually get off a few EQ's before Exploding. This was originally my Lead, but it has recently been replaced by Ninjask. If the opponent's Lead is something like Aerodactyl or Swampert, this can receive Stat boosts from Ninjask and take out a good 2 or 3 pokemon (and then use Explosion)
4. Jolteon @ *Ground-Resistant* Berry
Timid, 252 Sp.Att/252 Speed
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball
Signal Beam
Wish
Jolteon uses its rediculously high speed and high Sp.Attsck stat to tale out a few Pokemon and help my next pokemon recover from a Possible Stealth Rock or Spikes. Signal Beam's purpose is to take down Tyranitar and Grass-type pokes. shadow Ball takes care of most Psychic Pokemon, and Thunderbolt gives Jolteon a powerful STAB attack. It's held item (a Berry whose name I forget) allows Joltoen to survive an Earthquake attack from almost every Pokemon, which Joltoen can then either KO or use Wish to heal the next battler.
5. Latias @ Leftovers
Timid, 252 Sp.Att/252 Speed
Dragon Pulse
Surf
Calm Mind
Recover
My Team's best Special Attacker. First uses Calm Mind, then uses Surf and Dragon Pulse to systematically destroy the opponent. Recover allows it to get back some HP after its taken a few hits. Leftovers makes this Pokemon pretty hard for people to beat.
6. Starmie @ Life Orb
Timid, 252 Sp.Att/252 Speed
Thunderbolt
Surf
Ice Beam
Recover
Usually the last Pokemon I send into battle. althoguh its Sp.Attack is the lowest attacking stat, it's Life Orb makes up the difference. It can survive an attack from powerful Attackers like Latias after taking damage from Spikes and Stealth Rock, and can take Latias down with two Ice Beams. It has great type coverage (like all of my attackers) and has good enough defense to survive two or three non-super effective hits and Recover the lost HP.
This team has been Battle-tested, with a Record of 10-2. The two losses weren't very close though, 0-5 and 0-3, but it can beat some quality teams.
Any Help is Appreciated.
