Hey everybody. I previously played in the HGSSDPPt and now i'm back forsome BW action!!! Ok, the team:
iWish (Jirachi) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 80 HP/ 252 Atk/ 176 Spe
- Iron Head
- U-Turn
- Stealth Rock
- Trick
Jirachi is a pretty amazing lead. Iron Head will usually flinch leads such as Aerodactyl and Azelf, and it can take down Tyranitar and Terrakion (non-scarfed) as well. U-Turn is basically a scout move, Stealth Rock is, self-explanitory, and Trick will cripple a defensive wall such as Chansey/Blissey, Dusclops, Jellicent, ect. A useless defensive wall on the opposiong team will open up more options for Onyxia (Gyarados) and Bitch (Virizion).
Onyxia (Gyarados) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant
Evs: 156 HP/ 72 Atk/ 96 Def/ 176 Spe
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Taunt
- Stone Edge
Defensive Sweeper. The presence of Taunt allows Gyarados not to be stopped by old foes such as Skarmory. Nattorei is still a problem however other team members such as Heatran can take it down. Waterfall is a reliable, 100% accurate, possible flich inducing STAB that does the job whilst Stone Edge takes care of Flying types such as Dragonite, Salamence and opposing Gyarados.
Heatran (Heatran) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Timid
Evs: 4 HP/ 252 SpA/ 252 Spe
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Substitute
- Dragon Pulse
I have revived SubTran from the 4th Gen into the 5th Gen. If iWish (Jirachi) manages to Trick a Choice Scarf onto a Fire Move, then Heatran comes in, gaining a boost from Flash Fire, forcing a switch whilst using Substitute then the other Pokemon that switched in will have to get around Heatran's Substitute whilst trying to avoid a deadly Fire Blast or whatever. It's a plan that worked back in 4th gen, so it can work in 5th gen.
Bitch (Virizion) @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
Nature: Hasty
Evs: 128 Atk/ 128 SpA/ 252 Spe
- Work Up
- Close Combat
- Giga Drain
- Stone Edge
A mixed sweeper that is bulky, deals decent damage, fills in the role of Grass type to go with my Grass/Fire/Water core, takes on Blissey and Tyranitar? Virizion fills the role. Close Combat for most things, and Giga Drain for bulky Waters (and a bit of HP restoration). Stone is there to take on Flying Types, and I won't be lucky enough to get Hidden Power Ice anyway.
Hassamu (Scizor) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/ 252 Atk/ 8 Spe
- U-Turn
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
Another scout, but a powerful one. STAB, Choice Band, Technician, Priority Bullet Punch and do some decent damage and U-Turn is a very powerful scout move. Superpower can take out Chansey/Blissey, Tyranitar, ect in one clean hit should prediction be correct, and Pursuit traps Ghosts and Psychics such as Gengar, Alakazam and Espeon.
Rubee (Starmie) @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 SpA/ 252 Spe
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Rapid Spin
Rapid Spin support for this team is necessary as it lets Onyxia (Gyarados) come in and set up without losing 25% of its HP and Hassamu (Scizor) to bounce in and out with ease. Starmie is not only limited to Rapid Spin support, but it serves a power Pokémon that can hit hard against many things making it easier for everyone else to sweep. Base 115 Speed also makes it an effective revenge killer.
Support and honest feedback greatly appreciated
