Clamp (Gliscor) (M) @ Shell Bell
EVs: 110 HP/200 Atk/200 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake-
- Sky Attack-
- Aqua Tail-
- Stealth Rock-
Gliscor is my lead for several reasons the first is his decent bulk and speed. The second reason is his capability to get stealth rocks out, this helps my team get the upper hand as far as HP% goes. The final reason is how he still can be used later in the game. Earthquake and Sky Attack were chosen as powerful STAB attacks that will inflict a decent amount of damage to anything that doesn't resist them. Aqua tail was chosen for coverage so that Gliscor can hit the ground, types that may switch in, and to cover any other possible resistances to Gliscor's attacks.
RaiRai (Raichu) (M) @ Focus Sash
EVs: 96 HP/214 Spd/200 SAtk
Ability: Static
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Grass Knot-
- Signal Beam-
- Nasty Plot-
- Thunder-
Raichu is on my team for coverage, and sneaky Grass Knot usage His moves hit plenty of his counters fairly well. Riachu's speed usually allows him to strike first with the appropriate move. Grass Knot allows him to hit bulky waters like Swampert with ease and to take out ground types that would normally reek havoc on Riachu. Thunder provides a strong STAB, and Nasty Plot, which is a very recent addition has done wonders for me, especially when coupled with Focus Sash.
Dusk (Umbreon) (M) @ Leftovers
EVs: 80 HP/252 Atk/178 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Payback-
- Curse-
- Moonlight-
- Sucker Punch-
Umbreon is my favorite Pokemon, and I used to have a lot of issue with choosing his EV's and move set, but I think I figured out how to fix him so as to wreak monstrous amounts of damage on hard to KO Pokemon. This set allows Umbreon to reach monstrous attack and defense. The thing that lets this set work so well is Umbreon's high def and high Sdef. After a few curses Umbreon can survive any physical attack and its high Sdef allows it to live through several strong special attacks. Its Payback will KO nearly anything after several Curses and because Curse lowers speed Payback will nearly always hit last giving it a base 100 power. Moonlight allows for immediate healing and even with the prevalence of sandstorm immediate healing is more beneficial to Umbreon. Sucker Punch gives him a strong priority move to use when his HP is low and he could be KO'd by an attack, or when people are using Psychic and Ghost types.
Blaze (Typhlosion) (M) @ Charcoal
EVs: 96 HP/214 Spd/200 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Focus Blast-
- Roar-
- Extrasensory-
- Heat Wave-
Typhlosion is the special attacker and Phaser on my team his role is pretty simple attack with the most appropriate move and try to do as much damage as possible before he faints. Roar works relay well on Typhlosion because it helps clear the field of things like Cursers and Dragon Dancers and it also helps further gain Stealth Rocks induced damage. I make sure his speed is high enough to out speed as much as possible. I recently noticed Extrasensory's ability to demolish Infernape users, much to my pleasure.
Render (Heracross) (M) @ Silverpowder
EVs: 110 HP/200 Atk/200 Spd
Ability: Guts
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Megahorn-
- Stone Edge-
- Close Combat-
- Shadow Claw-
Heracross is my dedicated Physical attacker. His ability also allows me to switch him in on a predicted status ailment to boost his attack. With 2 stab moves at 120 base power he really is something terrible to see in battle. The combination of Shadow Claw and Close Combat gives him a completely unresisted move set. Finlay Stone Edge is to perfect to cover both his Fire and Flying weaknesses as well as his fellow Bug types.
Ecto (Gengar) (M) @ Big Root
EVs: 152 HP/148 Spd/208 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball-
- Sludge Bomb-
- Dream Eater-
- Hypnosis-
Because each Pokemon in my party handles another's weaknesses Gengar pairs excellently with Umbreon. Gengar also can attempt to put opposing Pokemon to sleep. This allows me to gain the upper hand or a free switch. Not only this but with Dream Eater Gengar can heal itself while inflicting good amounts of damage especially on other Gengars. Shadow Ball and Sludge Bomb are used to give Gengar two powerful stab moves, with the ability to lower Spec. Def, and Poison my foes.
