rmt standard singles (a little inexperienced)

[mikeA.C.]

this team is for standard battle and not meta game

i dont know what i want my lead to be and i dont think the one i have is very good


also i chose this team based on the fact that there arent any common weaknesses

the lead/special wall
swampert@leftovers
nature:calm
EV: 68atk/192HP/248spdef
moves:
stealth rock
waterfall
roar
toxic

now i know this seems like a bad choice for a special wall but it is a good partner for skarmory because of skarmorys weakness a thunderbolt/fire blast is an obvious choice to take it out and swampert can take both of those easily and the grass weakness is countered by skarmory so with some good predicting these two make great walls
i picked waterfall over avalanche for better coverage
now what im thinking is this set makes a bad lead especially to a faster hypnosis leader

stall/wall/aromatherapy
chansey@chopple berry
nature: calm
EV:252HP/252DEF/4spdef
moves:
aromatherapy
seismic toss
thunder wave
softboiled

the main purpose of chansey(not blissey to avoid skarm/bliss clause) is to get aroma therapy up and Twave if its necessary with a chople berry it can take a close combat from a heracross and survive with just under half HP

physical sweeper/bulky
salamence@choice band
nature:jolly
EV:252HP/252Sspeed/4atk
moves:
fire fang
thunder fang
dragon claw
earthquake

thought this set was a bit original not sure if itll work to well though its got decent coverage and STAB plus it can take a hit so im thinking it can be used for hit an run or something similar

physical wall
skarmory@lum berry
nature: impish
EV:252HP/252def/4atk
moves:
roost
brave bird
payback
steel wing

this guy is an amazing wall it used to have spikes and toxic (basically the exact same set i saw on a smogoners guide) but this set works pretty well with 2 stab moves and payback which works great because of the amount of damage skarm can take it can usually take a physical attack with out any trouble and payback does pretty good damage and its got good resistances with swampert

spinner
hitmonchan@sitrus berry/muscle band
ability: iron fist
nature:impish
EV:252HP/129DEF/129SPDEF
moves:
bullet punch
mach punch
rapid spin
counter

the main purpose if this guy is to get rid of spikes and such and after that do as much damage as it can before its taken out

special sweeper
espeon@life orb
nature:modest
EV:252spatk/252speed/4hp
moves:
psychic
grass knot
HP ice
shadow ball

pretty great special sweeper there are few things that can wall this guy and if anyone ever tries paralyzing it with Twave there just gonna paralyze themselves and ill have chansey aromatherapy
this one has taken a fireblast from salamence although i have no clue how that mence was trained so i cant be sure

ive only had one battle with this team and i made some bad decisions and did lose the battle so im not sure how well it can work

Blissey > Chansey.

 

[mikeA.C.]

Blissey > Chansey.

im avoiding the bliss/skarm clause and chansey does just fine

(i know its not against any standard rules but its cheep)

also unless its in the place of an OU dont suggest an OU because im doing a league challenge and no more than 3 OU are allowed on a team

If your team is deemed to show a severe lack of the understanding of the metagame, it will be closed and possibly infracted. This is completely up to the discretion of the mods.

Even for an alternate league metagame, things like Calm Swampert with physical attacks and Steel Wing on Skarmory show that you have little knowledge of the competitive scene. Lurking and playing on Shoddy Battle are good ways to improve your knowledge of the game; or if you feel you need a bit of help you can enroll in Smogon's Battling 101 program.
