RMT: Sunny Day

Grovernator

Okay, so this is my sunny day team right here hope you like it!



130px-157Typhlosion.png

Murderface (typhlosion)
@Heat Rock
Timid
-Flamethrower
-Solarbeam
-Sunny Day
-Focus Blast
*Without Typhlosion, this entire team would be ka-putz, he is the main man behind my sunny day team and he's what i need to set up for a sunny day. Flamethrower makes a good STAB, Solarbeam Takes out the majority of typhlosion's counters, rhyperior, swampert, and milotic, wheras Focus Blast deals with umbreon, snorlax, and blissey. Heat Rock is attached to prolong sunny day

Garcian (Blastoise)
@Leftovers
Impish
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Toxic
-Rapid Spin
*The main reason Blastoise is out on this team is for two reasons.
1.Rapid Spin:With the majority of Fire Types on my team, Stealth Rock can become a major issue, and could severly cripple the majority of my team. For me to effectively prevent myself from this trouble rapid spin comes into play.
2.Defenses:With so much defense, and typing, Blastoise can prevent any likely fire blasts from heatran or infernape, and can eliminate any possible dragon that comes his way with ice beam. The only problem is that surf's power will be weakened. But with Stab and torrent, blastoise should be fine.

KAA-BOOM!!! (Exeggutor)
@Heat Rock
Adamant
-Sunny Day
-Hypnosis
-Explosion
-Wood Hammer
*This is who I need to use when I need to restablish sunny day, or solely kill off something that seems to just piss me off. Wood Hammer's equiped to provide a reliable Stab, Hypnosis is on to predict a switch in, and Explosions on here just to take down any of those pesky walls. With 252'evs in speed and cylorphyll to back me up, i should be able to outspeed the majority of pokes and Explode right in their face. This is mainly just to kill off Salamence, Gyrados, or any or defensively weak sweeper.

arcanine.png

KingofFire (Arcanine)
@ Choice Scarf
Docile
-Flare Blitz
-Extremespeed
-Thunder Fang
-Iron Head
*This is pretty much my Physical Sweeper for my team. With the sunny day boosting the base power of my stab flare blitz from, 180, to a ridculous 270 base, guarenteeing that this will kill off any thing that does not resist fire even Bronzong and Metagross at the max. Extremespeed is here as a standard, whereas thunder fang and iron head are here to take down anything that resists flare blitz.

464rhyperior.jpg

Frankttank (Rhyperior)
@ Leftovers
Bold
-Earthquake
-Toxic
-Stealth Rock
-Avalanche
*This is prolly one of the only Rhyperior's in the world that actually does not carry Stone Edge on him. Rhyperior literally serves as my defensive wall here and for no other reason. Earthquake provides him with a stab that will take down Electivire and Tyranitar, whilst Avalanche can pretty much annihalate Dragonite, Salamence, Flygon, Celebii, Shaymin, and anything else weak to ice. Stealth Rock is a standard, and toxic is here to serve as a stalling tool. And with the Power of water being weakened due to sunny day in accordance with solid rock, it would take a lot of power to end rhyperior, or something that has alot of Special Attack.



manectric.png

Nappa (Manectric)
Modest
@ Choice Specs
-Thunderbolt
-Flamethrower
-Hidden Power (Ground)
-Signal Beam
*Manectric is an underappreciated beast, but with this moveset on him, along with the choice specs boost, not many pokes can end manectric. Thunderbolt will prolly be used the most due to Stab, and will destroy Gyrados and Starmie, and will deal a nice amount to salamence. Flamethrower is desinged to end Metagross, Scizor, and Bronzong, due to the Sunny Day in Effect. Hidden Power Ground will OHKO Heatran and will deal heavy damage Rhyperior and Tyranitar, as well as electivire. Finally Signal Beam is in here solely for the reason to take down any dark and psychic types, and to hit for neutral over anything that the last three cannot hit, Ergo used for Latias, Celebii, and Flygon.

I hope you guys pick this team!!!
 
Do you have any EV's on your pokes? Also, your team doesn't really seem to utilize sunny day to its best potential. Seriously, a blastoise on a sunny day team?? Seeing as this is a UU team, i would reccomend basically any spinner over blastoise. Im assuming you will be using this in UU, so i dont think there will be any heatrans or infernapes running around loose there, and with Charizard and Magmortar now NU, i doubt you will have to worry about too many Fire Blasts going around in UU, and Donphan can threaten to OHKO physical Blaziken, im not so sure about Houndoom though. If you want a spinner, i suggest:

Donphan @ Leftovers
Adamant
52 HP / 252 Atk / 204 Def
Rapid Spin
Assuarance
Earthquake
Stealth Rock/Ice Shard

Max attack is to get as much damage as possible. the hp and def EVs are so you can take physical hits better by 5%. Assuarance is for ghosts who think they can come in on your rapid spin and earthquakes. last slot is up to you. If you're keeping Rhyperior with STealth Rock, put Ice Shard on Donphan.

As for a sunny day Lead, i suggest:
Uxie @ Heat Rock
Impish
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Sunny day
Yawn
U-Turn
Protect

It is a lot more reliable than a typhlosion lead imo. Sunny day for obvious reasons, Yawn for psuedo-phazing, U-turn for scouting and protect for same reason.

I hope i helped and BOL with your team.
 
First of all, nice to see another showing interest in Sunny Day teams.

Just a few nitpicks and concerns to mention, however.

Firstly, I think with the current Pokemon you are better equipped to fight the UU rather than the OU tier. You make references to a number of OU threats, however this team as a whole will not survive against OU teams. Threats such as Tyranitar and other weather inducers need to be catered for, which your team does not. Your prospects about countering are largely based on the Utopian dream, ie in the perfect scenario. That said, top tier OU teams disassemble this team fairly easily. Furthermore, UU teams will likely do the same. So, the first thing you need to do is figure out which tier you are fighting in.

Now, on to the current setup. Seeing as you are using completely UU Pokemon, I will use a UU approach.

Firstly, Typhlosion can work as a Sunny Day lead, however it tends to be a bit selfish should you wish to make it work the most effectively. When I used him as a lead rather than using Heat Rock, I used Petaya Berry to boost his special attack for a sweep. Until then, SolarBeam is an almost mediocre attack against the bulkier waters. A Substitute/Sunny Day/SolarBeam/Fire Blast set could hurt a lot of Pokemon, where STAB Fire Blast in the sun with Petaya Berry activated could 2HKO Chansey or Blissey.

However, having used a lead like this it became aware to me that possibly the best type of lead is a scouter who can set up the sun and U-Turn out for eased prediction to get sweepers in. A good example of a general purpose lead is Ambipom:

Ambipom @ Heat Rock
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Fake Out
- Sunny Day
- Taunt
- U-Turn

Speaking of sweepers. this brings me to my next point: lack of sweepers. Arcanine is not really a sweeper in my book. His function IMO is to come in and score powerful damage under the sun, but not stay in and line up prey turn after turn. The Chlorophyll Pokemon are the ones designated for sweeping since they are so fast. Tangrowth and Exeggutor are excellent sweepers under the sun since they have fantastic speed and power. I think you

Another thing I have to question on this team is Blastoise. I understand that you want a Rapid Spinner, but is it necessary? If you are worried about Stealth Rock, then don't be. At the moment you only have one fire-type, and he has 4 chances to switch in. If you were running a Charizard or Moltress, then a spinner may have been warranted, however I think you are better served by using this slot for another offensive Pokemon.

I am going to refer you to my Sunny Day team in my signature. I don't mean to overtly self promote, but I must add that it has worked well in UU competitive play, being able to overcome a number of top teams. I also suggest that you use it in concert with the Sunny Day guide suggested by aragornbird+. Of course my team is completely invalid if this is for OU play. If it is for UU I strongly urge you to at least try my team and see if you can get any concepts from it. Honestly I think the Sunny Day guide misses a lot of points regarding team synergy and methodology behind Sunny Day teams.

I'll stop here since I have spent a lot of time working with Sunny Day teams, and I do not want my views to completely inflict upon your team. Expanding on that, the movesets of my team are mostly detailed so you can understand them better, and judge them for yourself rather than have me suggest them here and force them unto you. I think you need to work more on who you want as sweepers, supporters, and so-on. Most of all, exposing yourself to the meatagame and teams as wholes rather than hypothetically countering specific Pokemon one-on-one is the best way to fashion one of these teams.
 
Okay im sorry that i forgot to include my EV's on all poke's, and you know what i enjoy using pokes that i like, and i really hate that you guys are dissing me for my natures. I have an adamant blaziken w/ choice scarf 252 in both stats, which i could easily replace arcanine with, but they are literally interchangable. As for Blastoise, i can easily replace surf and ice beam with waterfall and ice punch. And well, i just forgot to put sleep powder on exeggutor. I also have Gliscor, adamant that can wall the majority of the sets. See, you guys happy? But no matter what, im keeping manectric, typhlosion, Exeggutor, and blastoise.


Any way here are the Ev's of each.

Typhlosion 252 SA, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Blastoise, 252 HP, 252 Df, 6 Speed
Manectric 252 SA, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Arcanine 252 At, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Rhyperior 252 Df, 170 HP, 184 At
Exeggutor 252 At, 252 Speed

Please dont give any of that of this team is only good for UU crap. Cause it's done fine in OU
 
Actually, now that i realize it, Blastoise is a stupid idea here, i just wanted a good water type for my team, but frankly, i could prolly replace blastoise with Claydol and Rhyperior with Slowbro, cause Slowbro is still pretty bulky and has psychic, a necessary move i need for killing the majority of fighting types. And this will prolly be their sets. Also, i might exchange Arcanine for Blaizken cuase he's adamant.

Slowbro
Bold
@Leftovers
-Psychic
-Ice Beam
-Slack Off
-Toxic

252 HP, 252 Df, 4 SD


Cladol

@Leftovers
-Shadow Ball
-Earth Power
-Rapid Spin
-Stealth Rock

252 HP, 252 SD, 4 SA

Blaziken
Adamant
@Choice Scarf
-Brick Break (Like it better than Superpower)
-Thunderpunch
-Rock Slide (Like it better than Stone Edge)
-Flare Blitz

252 At, 252 Speed, 6 HP
I hope you guys like these guys better than Blastoise, Arcanine, and Rhyperior

On Claydol, go bold nature, Claydol has a lower defense stat and bold helps remedy that.

On blaziken...why are you running 252 HP? I suggest the Mixed Priority Set:

Blaziken @ Life Orb
Mild Nature
4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Fire Blast
~ Superpower
~ Hidden Power Grass / Hidden Power Electric
~ Vacuum Wave / Stone Edge

Your team will benefit much more because Blaziken can break down both Physical and special walls in UU.
 
You made 3 posts in a row, which is against the rules. Do you know how to use the Edit button?

frogbandit, Blaziken doesn't even have 252 HP.

Pokegrove, your attitude is pretty rude. The whole point of a RMT is to listen to suggestions made by people who are potentially better battlers than you. It is very immature to just ignore things everyone says, because then your team won't improve at all.

Lol, silly boy im not running 252 HP on Blaziken, just 6 ev for HP



Also aragonbird, i do apologize for my behavior earlier. I do not take criticism well at first, but then i realize that you were right and i was wrong, Blastoise, Rhyperior, and Arcanine were all bad ideas. Hence i replaced them with something else scene in the quote above. I hope you think that these guys will work better.

Please accept my apology for being a jerk earlier. I've had a stressful day today, and when i first read your note i took it real hard. Im sorry.
