Run this Town (featuring Primeape)

Penance

Hey guys, fourth attempt at posting this team. It wasn't locked but VBulletin signed me out. This team is kinda Bulky Offense. Now to the team.

Sorry for the lack of pictures but I am on a cellular and it is a huge pain.

[Scout Lead]

Primeape @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Vital Spirit
Nature/EVs: Jolly/4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Moveset:
-Close Combat
-U-Turn
-Earthquake
-Return
Nickname: SURPRISE!

Meet SURPRISE! the Primeape. Now he is completely for scouting and revenge-killing. Max speed scarf makes him insanely fast. 252/252 EVs are there because SURPRISE! doesn't do much other than attack and scout. His moveset is pretty good getting 10 type coverage only walled by Gengar and stuff. I chose Vital Spirit just because trolls trying to put me to sleep are stopped in their tracks. Return was thrown in because I couldn't think of anything else.

[Steel Control]

Magnezone @ Leftovers/Shed Shell
Trait: Magnet Pull
Nature/EVs: Timid/188 HP/192 Def/64 SpA/66 SpD
Moveset:
-TBolt
-Charge Beam
-Hidden Power Ice
-Substitute
Nickname: <3 Steels

<3 Steels is my Magnezone, it locks down Steel types that lack moves like EQ and HP Fire. Magnezone is just a great troll. Leftovers recovery is useful. TBolt is a pretty good STAB, Sub + Charge Beam is a good setup conbo HP Fire is straight forward.

[The Beast]

Metagross @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
Nature/EVs: Adamant/88 HP/252 Atk/88 Def/82 SpD
Moveset:
-Meteor Mash/Bullet Punch
-Stealth Rox
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
Nickname: The Beast

Metagross, I mean Jirachi is an absolute beast. Nothing stands in it's way, bar nothing. Clear Body choice is obvious in case somebody is an actual troll and uses -stat moves. Leftovers is dead obvious, Lum Berry has served half useful but anything that wants to status Metagross can usually take attacks. EVs have been iffy for me but this is a work in progress. The moveset is so I can get Rox and just use the beast that is Metagross and attempt to kill off everything.

[Hazard Control]

Accelgor @ Focus Sash
Trait: Unburden
Nature/EVs: Modest/4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
Moveset:
-Spikes
-Encore
-Bug Buzz
-Hidden Power Ice
Nickname: LOLNARUTO

LOLNARUTO is just unstoppable with godlike speed, a cool movepool and access to Spikes he's the Gold Medal Champ. The EV Spread just explains Accelgor speed and Special Attack. One thing that bugged me in the past was Fake Out Sash breakers but Encore was just a simple solution, they're stuck in a useless move while I get up at least 2 layers of Spikes. Bug Buzz is STAB and can get the greatest gift of all, a Special Defense drop. HP Ice kills off a good deal of Gliscors and Dragons.

[Versatility]

Mew @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs/Nature: Timid/192 HP/252 SpA/64 Spe
Moveset:
-T-Wave
-Will-O-Wisp
-Psyshock
-Focus Blast
Nickname: inb4support

inb4support is a pseudo-mixed attacker with dual status. While making this team I realized I needed something with versatility that doesn't get OHKO'ed constantly and wasn't an ugly guy in a Barney costume, then Mew appeared. Sometime through testing my team was needed status moves and a mixed attacker. Mew does that. WoW shuts down physical sweepers/attackers. TWace checks set up sweepers and fast leads thinking they're all of that. Psyshock lets me crack down on special walls and Focus Blast destroys physical ones. The Nature/EVs are in testing.

[Indestructible]

Dusclops @ Eviolite
Trait: Pressure
Nature/EVs: Impish/60 Atk/192 Def/252 SpD
Moveset:
-Curse
-Pain Split
-Disable
-Payback
Nickname: RecoverPlz

Dusclops is an absolute monster. He omnoms on Choicers with Disable, destroys walls with Curse/Pain Split and will inherit the Earth before the meek. The Nature/EVs help a ton, Dusclops takes Outrages then hits with Disable Pain Splits his health back and then Payback spam. Pressure even makes for great PP stalling. The moveset makes a tank-like display, Curse will crush walls by dropping their health every turn while I watch, Disable will stop set up sweepers and mono attackers in their tracks. Pain Split is nice recovery seeing as my Dusclops has minimum health and Payback is my mono attacking move it works well with Dusclops' low speed.

I'll get TBP and threat list later.
 
Looking for a move for the last slot? I suggest using Stone Edge here. Hits those pesky flying types harder, it really is mainly for Dragonite/ Thundurus though, which your team currently has no answers for.

I don't see who's going to abuse the steels that Magnezone destroys. Instead of slapping a dragon onto your team, I suggest replacing Magnezone for a Bronzong. You currently have no answer for Excadrill/ Landorus, which Bronzong can take on (except Adamant LO+2 Excadrill X-Scissor). As well, Metagross is all about physical, and wont enjoy taking meteors. Bronzong can do that instead.

Speaking of Metagross, your EV spread is kinda wierd. I'm not going to edit it yet, but what is it for?

Lastly, I think with 100 SpA, Accelgor is very stoppable. Your team currently absolutely despises sun and rain teams. Especially Volcorona and Rotom-W. I suggest using a CB DRagonite in its place.

Dragonite @ Choice Band
Multi Scale
Adamant
252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 Hp
Outrage
Extremespeed
Fire Punch
Waterfall
 
I do love them Stone Edges. Sorry for the upcoming arrogance but out of self-principle I refuse to use all Dragon type Pokémon. I dunno Scizor and Ferrothorn have annoyed me a bit to the point I had that Magnezone. Bronzong does seen promising since that darn Mole is unstoppable.
 
Hey man, Your team seems weak to sun teams and rain teams. For this I propose you to chose a Deoxys-S over Accelgor.
Deoxys is more viable than Accelgor and could set up the spikes and the Stealth Rock with ease.

Deoxys-S@Focus Sash
Pressure
Jolly
252 HP / 252 Spd / 4 Atk
-Spikes
-Stealth Rock
-Taunt
-Superpower

Then you should consider a better moveset on Magnezone your won't be as effective as this one.

Magnezone@Leftovers
Magnet Pull
Timid
36 HP / 252 SpA / 220 Spd
-Substitute
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power Ice
-Charge Beam

With this one you could setup on a Steel poke who can not do anything like a Ferrothorn and then you kill or weaken an other poke.

You don't use the trap of Magnezone for a pokemon so I propose you to take a DD Dragonite over Metagross it can set up with ease due to his really good bulk.

Dragonite (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Fire Punch​


Finally I'm suggering you to use a Mienshao or an Infernape over Primeape. Both of them are better than Primeape.

GL for the next.
​
 
I like the moveset. Mienshao is a gay cat, Infernape is like the media, oversaturated and finally Dragonite is a homo and I refuse to use him.

I'll expand on what I said, first people expect Mienshao or Infernape I like playing mind games/using the element of surprise instead of lol Ninetales, Volcarona, Venusaur, Heatran and 2 good counter Pokémon or lolPolitoed and Thundurrus Ferrothorn and 3 sweepers or better yet Excadrill and Tyranitar. Also for Dragonite I refuse to use Dragons, why? Cuz they have all been used to oblivion and they're blatantly unstoppable.
 
Dragons are easy to stop. I just use my buddy Shell Smash Cloyster

Anyway......this is a pretty solid team. You get major points for using Accelgor as well, since people don't appreciate the ninja bug's awesomness.
 
Mew @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs/Nature: Timid/192 HP/252 SpA/64 Spe
Moveset:
-T-Wave
-Will-O-Wisp
-Psyshock
-Focus Blast

I suggest not running double status, Mew can do better. Try these moves, Taunt WoW Psychic/Seismic Toss and roost
 
No. Why? I need the status and Mew can do it also Psychic isn't that good if I have Psyshock. Also I lol that my Dragonite hate post was deleted.
