RMT Please Smogonites

'Sup Smogoners? I'm back with an RMT which I use on Wi-Fi. I'm trying not to be the same as everyone else, but trying to keep my team OU-worthy. Please have a look and post, even if it's all negative. I'll read and consider :D

Seviper @ Choice Scarf
Jolly
Shed Skin
252 Atk 252 Speed 6 HP

Poison jab
Earthquake
Crunch
Return

ScarfViper FTW! He's a real surprise to opponents who expect to be faster. Jolly because he outspeeds Starmie and pals, whereas adamant doesn't. Speed is becoming oh-so-useful in the Metagame. He outspeeds Infernape and OHKOs with EQ. He can also 2KO TTar who dragon dances in his face then expects to be faster. A very successful lead.

Camerupt @ Leftovers
Relaxed
Solid Rock
228HP 208 SpDef 74 Def

Flamethrower
Earth Power
Stealth Rock
Explosion

I love camerupt. He can come in on electric attacks like T-wave and set up some rocks. Solid rock is a truly awesome ability. It allows him to take earthquakes like a beast. Explosion saves me from Blisseys who try and wall me, as well as waters who predict I'll switch and not expect to die. An example is vaporeon, who often comes in and just wishes. Not many people realise Camerupt can explode either.

Hitmonchan @ Life Orb
Impish
Iron Fist
120 HP 252 Atk 66 Def 72 Speed


Drain Punch
Ice Punch
Thunder Punch
Bullet Punch

You may read that and wonder, but that spread is incredible. 206 outspeeds stuff which hits early 200s to get the jump on heracross. Impish actually allows it to take some good hits and still survive. This makes it a fairly good gyarados killer if Mesprit faints. I just love it. Iron fist boosts his attacks, and life orb + drain punch is awesome. Bullet over mach Punch because he can finish off Gengars and Azelfs, and nothing resists steel. Also the 66 [64 effectively] EVs in Def actually give 2 more than 60 would. The EVs give 271 HP because life orb wll do 27 per hit, and If I fire off 10 attacks I still have 1 HP left. Unlikely, but it may happen.

Mesprit @ Leftovers
Bold
Levitate
252 HP 166 Def 92 Sp.Atk

Calm Mind
Psychic
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam

Ah, the common-stuff counter. Switches in and scares off Gyarados, Garchomp and infernape. Takes hits like a champ and can boost with calm mind on predicted switches. Great coverage with its offences, and a nice bulky sweeper to have on the team. EVs are pretty standard to OHKO stuff, and I went for bulky EVs to take hits well. I don't see much need for speed.

shayminon5.png

Shaymin @ Leftovers
Bold
Natural Cure
252 HP 252 Def 6 Sp.Def

Seed Flare
HP Fire
Leech Seed
Aromatherapy

Shaymin takes hits like a beast. Easily takes water attacks from Camerupt, and isn't scared to take starmie on if needed. Unlike Celebi, Shaymin can handle weavile, as well as run away from it safely. Also not very scared of Tyranitars. Aroma support is godly if I make mistakes and let stuff get burned, or if I get hax'd and something is frozen, Paralysed, etc. Seed Flare and HP Fire for Coverage. Leech seed because it can help bring down annoying walls / Defensive stuff.

Note: The Shaymin I use on wifi is not legit, but most battlers agree to me using one. So please don't ask how I have a usable shaymin, because the answer is Via AR... When I manage to I'll try and ge a legit Movie one. Please ignore this factor when Rating my team :D

scizorqh8.png

Scizor @ Life Orb
Adamant
Technician
252 Atk 252 HP 6 Speed

Swords Dance
X-Scissor
Quick attack
Brick Break

Pretty standard DanceOrb Scizor. I Love this guy, he's late game clean-up pushed to the max. Brick break over Iron head because it hits the same 2 for Super Effective plus steels like Magnazone. X-scissor 2KOs Cresselia, and brick break keeps blissey at bay. Skarmory outspeeds me and therefore cannot roost while Scizor is in play. 6 Speed for any ties, so I get the one-point-jump.


Problems

I need a Phazer. Badly. Camerupt can yawn/Roar, but he needs all of his slots. I used to have suicune over Shaymin, but I was major weak to swampert. I just can't find room for one.

I lack rapid spin. I've also had tentacruel in Shaymin's place, but I never seem to be able to get it into play.

Aside from Shaymin, I don't have a status absorber. I had a RestTalk snorlax, but I find RestTalk too random to be of much use.

Metagross can be a problem if he gets an agility in, with Ice Punch, EQ and Meteor Mash. I tend to get a leech seed on him and try and stall with Scizor. It's rather problematic.

Thanks for reading :D Please help.
 
Loving the team dude :)

Anyways, I can see why your lack of a phazer would be a problem. As you said Agiligross and possibly DDMence give you some sort of trouble. Also SDLuke decimates you. A sufficient counter for those would be good over Camerupt would do well, as I can't see Camerupt doing much at all really. Zapdos does good here :)

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Bold - 252 HP/220 Defence/36 Speed
-Roar
-Roost
-Thunderbolt
-HP Ice

I would go with Mach Punch over Bullet Punch on Chan. I can see your reasoning for Bullet but Mach Punch would help you out a lot more tbh.
 
^Mach Punch also gives you that extra x1.5 STAB boost :P

Starmie seems like the perfect option.

Starmie @ Leftovers
Timid - 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Spd / 6 HP
-Ice Beam
-Rapid Spin
-Hidden Power [Fire]
-Thunderbolt

HP [Fire] handles your Metagross weakness. It's also unpredicted, so a Bronzong, Magnezone, Skarmory or Metagross may switch in, only to get vapourised by Hidden Power. The rest help your team in general, and notice the ability to use Rapid Spin.

ScarfMence may work here, too, to help against opposing Salamence:

Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Adamant - 6 HP/ 252 Atk / 252 Atk
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Dragon Claw
-Brick Break

Just something i made up. It will massively help your type coverage, as well as hurt Metagross and REALLY hurt Salamence, Garchomp and Dragonite. Stone edge for Gyara and Staraptor, and finally, EQ for Infernape and Lucario, as well as it being disliked by Tyranitar, Hippowdon and Heatran.

Hope this helped.

Oh yeah, forgot about Surf. It's your choice what you replace for it then Banana, but i recommend taking out Ice beam for it. If you have trouble against Dragons, then Thunderbolt to be taken out. You need Rapid Spin, to be honest.

HP Fire is shit on Starmie. It deals out more damage when neutral and to compensate for the 30 speed IV you must waste 4 EVs from special attack or HP.

@ Sinnoh_Ultimatum: Why run Scarf Salamence when you can use the more efficient ScarfChomp?
 
Thanks for the rates guys. I'll keep zapdos in mind, But my team is a wee bit Bolt-Beam-Heavy. Thanks anyway :)

I'll put mach punch on 'Chan I guess. I'm not sure, But it can't hurt to try.

Why rapid spin? Like, nothing on my team is weak to SR =/. I don't like starmie because weavile already rapes 2 of my Walls. Starmie would increase that problem. I've never liked starmie TBH.
