RMT:Team Mat Attack - A group of pokemon named Mat o.0

[Tooks]

Yes I named my pokemon after myself.This is my first RMT.Anyways...here are the Mats o.O:

The Matz​

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In-Depth Look​

Mat-Pert

Swampert
Ability:Torrent
Nature:Impish
Item:Leftovers
Ev spread:252 Hp|252 Def|4 Atk

Moves:
Ice punch
Stealth Rock
Waterfall
Roar

What I normally do depend on the lead.If I know the lead is a taunter I use an attack first,if the lead does not taunt I use SR.I roar anything I know Pert cannot handle like other water types and what not. Roserade pretty much owns him.

-----------------------------------------------
Mat-Dos

Gyarados
Intimidate
Adamant
Leftovers
156 Hp|74 Atk|96 Def|184

Moves:
Dragon Dance
Stone edge
Waterfall
Taunt

One of the versions of Bulky Gyara.This thing takes care of walls.it can even take down Rotom-A after I think 2 DDs.If my opponents send in an electric that I am slower than(normally without any DDs) and I know they are going to use an electric attack I swithc to Vire.Vire cannnot handle full hp Rotoms.This creates the GyaraVire combo.This is another pokemon Roserade owns,along with that cheap brute known as Brelomm.
------------------------------------------------
Mat-Cune

Name:Suicune
Ability:Pressure
Nature:Bold
Item:Leftovers
Ev spread:252 Hp|252 Def|4 Sp.Atk

Moves:
Calm mind
Surf
Rest
Sleep talk

Suicune is my tank.Most times I attempt a sweep with him.After one CM boost it hits very hard.This pokemon is capable of taking down Blissey.Here is how,I have done it at least 5 times.
1.Max Sp.atk using CM
2.Keep spamming Surf
3.If the PP for surf runs out,use rest and sleep talk.
4.You don't need to PP stall.
Note:When low on life use Rest.
Cune can take lots of hits,even super effective ones.Cune has problems with other CM users like Celebi.
--------------------------------------------------
Mat-Z

Name: Porygon-Z
Ability:Adaptability
Nature:Timid
Item:Choice scarf
Ev spread:252 Spe|252 Sp.atk|4 Hp

Moves:
Ice beam
Thunderbolt
Tri attack
Dark pulse

You will be amazed with what Porygon-z can do in late game,when the opponents pokemon are weakened.It hits HARD with Tri-attack.Thunderbolt is for water types.Ice beam is for dragons and dark pulse is for Latias.I have trouble choosing wheter to Ice beam or dark pulse Latias,which should I go with?Porygon-z also takes on Gyarados really well.Always a OHKO on it.Steel types are a problem.(Metagross)

----------------------------------------------
Speedz Mat

Name:Weavile
Ability:Pressure
Nature:Jolly
Item:Life orb
Ev spread:252 Atk|252 Spe|4 HP
Moves:
Ice punch
Ice shard
Low kick
Night slash

As you can see I am a Weavile fan.Weavile is very under rated IMO.I know he is not the "best" pokemon,but hey,it's not the worst either.Ice punch is for dragons(that means you Mence!!),Ice shard is for scarfed Latias,brick break is.well..hmm...oh right T0tar and steels and Night slash is for Gengar.I don't know if I should Ice punch or Night slash Latias.I don't expext to sweep with Weavile,but it softens up pokemon for me or Koes them.When SR is not on the field I attempt switch ins.Believe it or not,even when SR is on the field I attempt switch ins,VERY RISKY.
Weavile normally deals with Roserade and Breloom.Weavile holds a SOLID spot on my team,it's irreplacebale.When I think about replacing a member,I never question Weavile's spot.Should I use pursuit on it?
-----------------------------------------------
Mat-zor

Name:Scizor
Ability:Technician
Nature:Adamant
Item:Choice band.
Ev spread:252 Atk|252 HP| 4 Spe
Moves:
Bullet punch
Brick break
Pursuit
U-turn

Credits go to ame.otani for telling me to use CB Scizor.Excellent in KOing/weakening my opponent's pokemon so that Pory-Z can sweep easily.Bullet punch is for hitting very hard,brick break for steels,Pursuit for Rotom and U-turn for scouting.

--------------------------------------------------
That is it.

Threats:

Breloom:The thing is ultra cheap,Normally it would sleep one of my pokemon then I switch in Vire or Weavile.

Machamp: Another ultra cheap pokemon <.<.I have to sacrifice a pokemno to weaken then i KO with Tri attack from Pory Z.

Kingdra:All though I rarely see them.I normally reaken it then KO with Tri attack.

Roserade: I try to counter with Vire or Weavile after it has put one of my pokemon to sleep.

Celebi: I normally send in Weavile to Night slash it.

Jirachi: Sometimes I send in Vire to EQ it or other times I use Cune and set-up.

Swampert: I mormally have to weaken it then use Porgon-z's Tri attack to KO.

Latias:If not scarfed,Vile(weavile) Koes it.If Weavie has fainted,I have problmes.

Lucario: SD + Extreme speed = win :'(.Most time Weavile(if he is still alive) OHKOes with Low kick.


As you can see my team is all about prediction.

 

[ame.otani]

Your team has 3 Water-types. That within itself is an issue. A lot of builds can abuse this, but I'll just use a rather common one for an example:

Zapdos @ Life Orb
Thunderbolt
Heat Wave
Hidden Power (Grass)
Roost

Obviously this Poke can rip your team apart. The only chance you have against this is switching in Vire on a predicted T-Bolt. And even then, switching into a variety of counters to Vire will just eat him alive and continue to sweep your team. The weak links--at least to me--seems to be your Suicune and your Weavile. So, that's what I'd suggest switching out.

Crocune really is only successful when you're using Toxic Spikes on your team. So, it really kills the moment of this heavily offensive team. I'm honestly not sure what role your Suicune is performing on your team. But, it seems like you really need to get a revenge killer that can destroy Breloom, Celebi, Roserade, and the like. For this reason, I'd suggest exchanging your Crocune with a MixApe

Infernape @ Life Orb
Naive Nature
64 Atk / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
Flamethrower
Nasty Plot
Close Combat
Grass Knot

I elected to go the route of Nasty Plot MixApe over that of a regular MixApe because without the +2 to SpA, Vaporeon walls most of this team. The way to use this Infernape is pretty simple: Switch into something that Infernape threatens to OHKO, then use Nasty Plot. Proceed to sweep. Flamethrower was chosen over Fire Blast because I hate 80% accuracy. However, Fire Blast is statistically better.

The new thing you need is a nice Pursuit user/revenge killer. You've said Weavile hasn't been working for you, so we probably need to change it. As much as I don't want to admit it, Scizor fills this role quite nicely. So, a basic banded Scizor will work well in Weavile's slot:

Scizor @ Choice Band
Adamant Nature
Ability: Technician
248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
Bullet Punch
Superpower
Pursuit
U-turn

This Scizor is the one you've probably seen on 33% of the teams you've faced. It works well as a revenge killer with Bullet Punch and Pursuit. It also can scout with U-turn, seeing how Scizor is only weak to fire. Superpower is there for type coverage. With 591 ATK, Superpower does better than Brick Break. However, if you want to run Brick Break in order to smash Light Screen/Reflect, that's perfectly reasonable.

I'd consider switching out Porygon Z for a sleep talker. Immediate ones that come to mind are Machamp and Rotom-A. However, since your team is leaning rather physically, a special attacker needs to take this role.

Rotom-F @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SpD
Sleep Talk
Rest
Thunderbolt
Blizzard

Thunderbolt and Blizzard have near perfect type coverage together. However, Blizzard has that annoying 80% accuracy I mentioned earlier. The purpose of this Pokemon is to switch into when you predict a sleep (Breloom and Roserade are excellent examples) and have Rotom-F take the sleep. Then, just spam away your Sleep Talk. Of course, Porygon Z is fine.

So, what does making these three switches do for your team?

-You have a status absorber now. Yay, refrigerators.
-Your team has 6 steel resists. Lol. Scizor hates you.
-1 immunity to fighting, 1 immunity to poison, 1 immunity to normal, 2 immunities to electric, and 2 immunities to ground.
-No more than 2 weaknesses in a type.
-The types in which you have a x4 weakness in, you have at least 2 resists in. Example: Infernape and Electivire are weak to ground; Rotom-F and Gyarados are immune to ground.

As a side note, if you're worried about your Electivire not doing enough damage, I'd like for you to switch him into this build:

Electivire @ Expert Belt
Adamant Nature
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Thunderpunch
Cross Chop
Ice Punch
Earthquake

With that brutal 123 base ATK, why not take advantage of it? You might consider adding your last EV to ATK on your current build, though. 35 isn't the EV stat you want; 36 is.

Cheers.

 

[Sheshi]

When considering teams, you must ask yourself, what major threats does this team cover? I'm not seeing too much of that here. Regardless...

Swampert
Ability:Torrent
Nature:Relaxed
Item:Leftovers
Ev spread:252 Hp|252 Def|4 Sp.atk

Moves:
Ice beam
Stealth Rock
Surf
Roar

Why are you using a Relaxed Nature when you are using only Special moves? I suggest you change this one completely. The EV's are Ok. However, I suggest an Impish Nature with moveset of:
-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock
-Ice Punch / Roar.
Keep roar if you want. But Ice Punch can help a little against a few fliers.

-----------------------------------------------



Gyarados
Intimidate
Adamant
Leftovers
156 Hp|74 Atk|96 Def|184

Moves:
Dragon Dance
Stone edge
Waterfall
Taunt

184 what? Speed? I suggest that you have Ice Fang over Taunt and have an EV spread of 252 ATK, 252 SPE and 6 DEF. However, your current spread is OK. The spread I gave is more offense oriented and it may suit your team better.
------------------------------------------------
Mat-Cune

Name:Suicune
Ability:Pressure
Nature:Bold
Item:Leftovers
Ev spread:252 Hp|252 Def|4 Sp.Atk

Moves:
Calm mind
Surf
Rest
Sleep talk


Your team relies heavily on Water Pokemon. I suggest using Rotom-H. This makes a better revenge killer than Porygon-Z does. It also helps you take down Electric Types that may otherwise give you trouble. Ame.otani is correct also in suggest Rotom-F. The choice however is entirely up to you.
Rotom-H @ Choice Scarf
-Shadow Ball
-Overheat
-Thunderbolt
-Trick


Name: Porygon-Z
Ability:Adaptability
Nature:Timid
Item:Choice scarf
Ev spread:252 Spe|252 Sp.atk|4 Hp

Moves:
Ice beam
Thunderbolt
Tri attack
Dark pulse

I actually believe that if you wish to save this one for Lategame sweeping, then I suggest the following:
Porygon-Z @ Leftovers
Adaptability, Modest Nature
252 SPA, 252 SPE, 6 HP
-Agility
-Tri Attack
-HP Fighting
-Thunderbolt
The idea is simple. Agility when you have time and then sweep. But I don't suggest you use Porygon-Z. I listed the above in case you don't want to change it. I suggest that a Nasty Plot Mixape would aid your team in breaking stall, which your team appears to have trouble with.
Infernape @ Expert Belt / Life Orb
Naive Nature
64 ATk, 252 SPE, Rest in SPA.
-Nasty Plot
-Fire Blast
-Close Combat
-Grass Knot
Close Combat OHKOs Blissey with 64 ATK EV's and Nasty Plot doubles SPA and lets you sweep.

Name:Weavile
Ability:Pressure
Nature:Jolly
Item:Focus Sash
Ev spread:252 Atk|252 Spe|4 HP
Moves:
Ice punch
Ice shard
Brick break
Night slash


I don't know what game you're playing, but most teams if not all have Stealth Rock, which effectively screws over your Focus Sash, rendering it utterly useless. I suggest using Expert Belt or a Life Orb over it. Also, Low Kick is a better option than Brick Break. Finally, change either Ice Punch or Ice Shard for Swords Dance.


Name:Electivire
Ability:Motor Drive
Nature:Mild
Item:Expert belt
Ev spread:35 Atk|220 Spe|255 Sp.Atk
Moves:
Thunderbolt
Earthquake
Flamethrower
Hidden power(ice)/Cross chop

Best advice I can give about your problem of not hitting hard enough: Don't use Electivire.
Who should you use instead? Salamence.
Salamence @ Life Orb
Naughty Nature
232 ATK, 24 SPA, 252 SPE
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast
The most dangerous set Salamence has today and an absolute nightmare to stop once it gets the DD in. Outrage for STAB and the other two to hit Pokemon that resist Outrage.

Thanks for the advice.I tried the Scizor only and it made wonders.I also tried Ape,but it was terrible..

When considering teams, you must ask yourself, what major threats does this team cover? I'm not seeing too much of that here. Regardless...

Thanks for the rate.The Swampy has been working wonders.

Yes I did mean 184 Spe,sorry about that.I prefer a more defensive Gyara.


Cune is my tank.

I sometimes use Pory-Z as a revenge killer also.

I changed the set and item on Vile and it has been doing good,but I did not give it SD.

I switched Vire for CB Scizor.

 

[JarardoMartino]

most ghosts other than rotom-A try to flee from weavile so i suggest either replacing ice punch or night slash with pursuit. I second lowkick in place of brick break and go for expert belt since he is already frail with SR.

Hope this helps!

Wait I didn't change it,I ment to say that it is a kinda weak if the opponent does not switch his pokemon.

If you've made changes to your team, edit your actual post to show what you changed.

OK changes have been made.

 

[PCMario64]

I'm not sure exactly why your running a different Swampert than the standard one, but if u are gonna run Ice punch and Waterfall there is absolutely no need for sp.attack ev's.

That was my bad.I fixed the typo.
