Introduction
Hello, well I'm new here and this is my first RMT. Anyway, hope you like the team and I am Brazilian, so patience with me please, because my English is horrible!
Team Building Process:
Well, first off I want start a team with Starmie, just because I love Starmie, and with its speed and decent special attack, it will give troubles for any team without Snorlax and Blissey. So I needed some pokemon that could end the happiness Blissey and Banded Tyranitar appeared to be the perfect partner for her with his powerful Pursuit, which also helped a lot against scarfed Latias, other Starmies, Jolteons etc. So my team was
Then I added a Gyarados on the team because he also has its counters removed by Tyranitar, helped a lot against Lucario, if I get locked in Pursuit and serve as a late game cleaner with ResTalk and and gave a great status absorver. But unfortunately it was completely stopped by Vaporeons, so I put SubToxic Heatran, as it can attract Vaporeon and bulky waters in general and to end their happiness with Toxic. So the team was:
Well, then I had a good solid core and lacked someone who could use Stealth Rock, taking a look at the team, I saw Celebi gave an excellent Stealth Rocker and has formed a good partnership with Hetran and could give some support to the team with Reflect. So the team:
Then, turning to the time, I realized I was missing a revenge killer, so I looked for a pokemon that can cover a wide variety of pokes, especially Salamence Dragon Dancer, and that is not weak to Pursuit or the SR. Jirachi was perfect for the job.
After the team was finished it was time to decide the lead. And Starmie was the best for this position, because it's good against most commonly used leads and could also scouter which counters the opposing team has against her.
So, the team at a glance:
Ruby (Starmie) @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Surf / Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Recover
Lead with the goal from the start of the thump and push the opponent, not to say that it works wonderfully well against most of the leads and attracts the most common pokemon that Celebi counters, that can go out and set up SR.
The moveset is standart, but I'm considering use Hydro Pump for the extra power, but the accuracy is a problem which can cost the game.
Here, Starmie vs. Top 15 leads:
-Azelf - Surf for the 2HKO, and she cannot do much back as they usually only use Psychic and Fire Blast to attack. But sometimes I bring Tyranitar to the field, if is some version of TW, Dual Screen etc.
-Metagross - Surf for the 2HKO, but the explosion is very annoying. Sometimes I bring Celebi for set up Reflect and SR.
-Swampert - Bring in Celebi
-Aerodactyl - Surf
-Jirachi - Most use U-turn, so I change to Gyarados or Heatran
-Infernape - Surf, but Endeavor is really annoying
-Roserade - Ice Beam for break the sash and take sleep. Then switch for Gyarados to take the second Sleep Powder and back to Starmie. But I hate the Toxic Spikes
-Heatran - Surf
-Smeargle - Surf for break the sash and take sleep. Then switch for Gyarados to take the second Spore and back to Starmie.
-Hippowdon - Surf, but sometimes I use Ice Beam.
-Tyranitar - Dangerous, as they all use pursuit, I lose my Starmie right at the beginning of the game.
-Gliscor - Ice Beam, sometimes Surf
-Dragonite - Ice Beam, but Extremespeed is really annoying
-Bronzong - Bring in Celebi to use SR
-Crobat - Annoying with Super Fang, but Jirachi can kill her.

Smoky Quartz (Tyranitar) (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/164 Atk/92 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Earthquake / Aqua Tail
Tyranitar has the function of removing the counters of Starmie and Gyarados for them to be happy.
The EVs are to outspeed Skarmory, with a maximum HP is the best way to maximize the two defenses while the rest went to the Atk.
The doubt is between Earthquake and Aqua Tail. With EQ I can beat Lucario and Heatran with a super effective moveTyranitar has the function of removing the counters of Starmie and Gyarados for them to be happy.

The doubt is between Earthquake and Aqua Tail. With EQ I can beat Lucario and Heatran with a super effective move and with AT I can hit Gliscor and Hippowdon. But as Gliscor is faster and can heal with Roost and kill me with EQ and Hippowdon already killed by Celebi, I think EQ is a superior choice.

Sapphire (Gyarados) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP/224 Def/32 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance / Roar / Stone Edge
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Gyarados is the Status Absorber, late game sweeper and counter for several pokes as Scizor, Lucario, Machamp, Infernape, Heatran etc. This set is the standart Waterfall to attack it gains STAB, ResTalk to heal status and Dragon Dance for increasing your stats and sweeper in the late game, But I'm thinking about changing for Roar, because baton pass chain is a major problem for the team. Stone Edge is also there for me to have a response to other Gyarados.
The EVs are the analysis, to pass pokes with 90 base speed with a positive nature and maximize the defense.
---
Spinel (Heatran) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Toxic
- Substitute
Heatran adds several resistances to time, make combo with Tyranitar and Celebi and Starmie. It attracts Suicune, Gyarados, Swampert, Blissey and Latias wiping them out with your Toxic.
Well, the moveset and EVs are quite obvious and standart. Fire Blast for STAB and Earth Power for coverage. Max SAtk to hit hard and max speed because he had no place more useful = D
---
Emerald (Celebi) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/216 Def/32 Spd/8 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Grass Knot
- Recover
- Reflect
- Stealth Rock
Stealth Rocker, great partner for Heatran and a great help against Gyarados, Electives and Reflect it protects the team against Pokemon as DD Mence, Metagross and Explosions.
The moveset and EVs are standarts, max HP to maximize overall defenses, 32 Speed beats even Jolly Tyranitar, 216 Def with Bold gives me the extra point and the rest in SDef.

Alexandrite (Jirachi) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Iron Head
- Fire Punch
- Trick
- Zen Headbutt / Ice Punch / Thunderpunch
Jirachi is a great revenge killer, helping out against Pokemon like Salamence, Dragonite, etc. Tyranitars. Trick scarf is also a weapon against stall teams and also for late game sweepers, as Crocune, Lucario (helps a lot if he cannot change moves), Curse Lax etc.
The doubt is about the last move. Zen Headbutt help against Infernape and Machamps, while Ice Punch serve mainly for Salamence and Gyarados to be ThunderPunch.

Threat List
Here the greatest threats to the team:
- Salamence - DDMence is the biggest threat to the team, as it will depend on a speed tie with jirachi, but SR + Sands help to kill him.
- Metagross - AgilityGross is another poke that hinders my happiness, especially those with Lefts, but Reflect, Gyarados and Heatran help against him
- Empoleon - Agility Empoleon is another poke that hinders the team, but Celebi and Starmie has a chance against him
