Choice Scarf
252spatk/252spd/4hp
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- HP Fire
- Dark Pulse
This guy can come out and basically threaten every lead out there. Gengar, azelf, zong, gyara, hippowdon, and some roserade leads ive been seeing lately. And the best part is I can bring him in later game for some serious sweeping.
Metagross , Adamant
Choice Band
252hp/244atk/12def
- Bullet Punch
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
Standard Choice band meta. Ive been having a tough choice choosing between t punch, i punch, and explosion. Ive been thinking t punch for the gyara coverage but i dunno.
Vaporeon, Bold
Leftovers
124hp/252def/76spatk/56spdef
- Surf
- Hp Electric
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
My status absorber. Ive been thinking of replacing it with suicune because suicune gets CM. But the HP electric is nice for bulky waters that try to stall me and gyara. Good infernape counter as well. But im still contemplating suicune. Max lefties recovery with the spread.
Salamence, Naive
Life Orb
120atk/240spatk/148spe
- Brick Break
- Draco Meteor
- Flamethrower
- Roost
Now this guy is something special. No one ever sees this coming because everyone either picks ddmence or specsmence these days. But mixed mence? Wow does it catch blissy off guard or what. I picked naive for the speed boost so i could outrun neutral 100's.
Venusaur, Bold
Leftovers
204hp/180def/124spdef
- Leech Seed
- Energy Ball
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder
A nice mixed wall. Gives me access to sleep inducing status and its hella annoying. Swampert is going to run as far away as it can from this thing. But i cant decide between energy ball for consistant stab or leaf storm for a much harder hit. Max lefties recovery with the spread.
Spiritomb, Careful
Leftovers
252hp/252spdef/6atk
- Pursuit
- Sucker Punch
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
My answer to the common spatk'ers like zam and azelf. Psychic immunity is nice and its spread makes it pretty bulky. Pursuit catches switchers and sucker punch hits anything staying in really hard. Im having trouble between will - o - wisp for status and to ruin phys attackers or curse to boost my lower def stat up making him bulkier and strengthening its hits. Pain split for recovery.
Advice and comments appreciated
