Introduction
Hello everybody , this is my 3rd RMT here in Smogon and my last one was quite a long time ago and I did get a little better in competitive(I was really bad)by gaining experience from battling here and there and gaining tips from opponents and mostly from watching Youtubers battle , that taught me quite a LOT of stuff.This really isn't a Sandstorm team utilizing its full effects but since it has both Tyranitar and Hippowdon and how Cradily loves the Special defense boost I called it that.Please note that all these sets are from the smogon team builder and that this is on shoddy so I can use all Rotom forms.Before we start this hax I just like...love Empoleon so much that I think he deserves this...
Yes Empoleon , you are worthy of being a king and thank you Arkeis , anyway , here we go~!
Team at a glance
Team in detailz
Lead Roserade~>My Lead
Roserade@Focus Sash~Timid
4HP/252Spe/252SpA~Natural Cure
~Sleep Power
~Toxic Spikes
~Leaf Storm
~HP Fire
Roserade was suggested to me over Hippowdon as Toxicspikes can really help my team , Usually Sleep powder right off the start unless its Aerodactyl/Azelf since most of the time Taunt is available for them , If its Azelf I usually go with Leaf storm since that can 1HKO Azelf[I think...]due to it being very frail and how leaf storm gets the STAB boost.If its Aerodactly I usually switch since either SR/Taunt/Earthquake is coming and I cant really predict with three choices availalbe , thats where Flygon comes handy.HP Fire is there for Scizor and others who are weak to the fire type and Toxic spikes is needed for team support.
Agiligross~My Physical Sweeper
Metagross@LifeOrb~Adamant
112Hp/252Atk/12Def/132Spe~ClearBody
Agiligross , after an Agility I can do a ton of damage , although it is not as great as the damage I do on Empoleon , most pokemon do get 1HKO'd after stealth rock damage , some though like Vaporeon and Metagross , can tank my Earthquake and thunderpunch even after Stealthrock damage , if its the former Im pretty much fine because I can KO in another two or three Thunderpunches and if its the latter I usually get KO'd by Earthquake(Although I kinda dont understand how their Earthquake is superior than mine)Thunderpunch was swapped with Zenheadbutt for coverage on rotoms , I was also thinking for BulletPunch over Meteor Mash for the sake of a priority user and since the risk of Meteor Mash missing and how it doesnt increase my attack stat that often just sucks.
Agility SubPetaya Empoleon~My Special Sweeper
Empoleon@PetayaBerry~Modest
14Hp/32Def/212Spe/252SpA~Torrent
Choice Scarf Flyong~My Revenge Killer
Flygon@ChoiceScarf~Jolly
4HP/252Atk/252Spe~Levitate
~Earthquake
~Outrage
~U-turn
~Stone edge
The most popular flygon get , ChoiceScarf flygon , with its awesome base Speed and a choice scarf this guy helps the lack of speed in my team , It avoids ground type attacks by levitate , has a electric immunity , a SR immunity and finally nuetral to fighting type attacks , Earthquake is its main STAB along with Outrage although I hate the confusion after 2-3 turns and I might change to Dragon Claw , it's going to stay as Outrage for now though.I chose Stone edge over Fireblast because My tyraniboah takes care of scizors easily.This flygon was chosen over Gyarados because it covers the same resistance as well the SR and electric damage.
CurseTar~>My Special Wall
Tyranitar@Leftovers~Careful
252Hp/40Def/216SpD~Sand Stream[0Spe IV's][Currently testing for bulk]
Double Status Rotom-C~My Physical Wall
Rotom-C@Leftovers~Bold
252HP/168Def/88Spe~Levitate
~Discharge
~Will-o-wisp
~Leaf Storm
~Shadow Ball
Rotom-C as suggested was chosen as a physical wall over Hippowdon as it can take physical hits pretty good and at the same Levitate those ground type moves , Rotom-C was specifically chosen because Leaf Storm counters Swampert.Discharge was chosen over Thunderbolt and Thunderwave because I actually wanted too actually do STAB damage other than Shadowball but at the sametime wanted higher paralysis rate which made Discharge fit there , Will-o-wisp was chosen over Toxic because it cripples those physical sweepers even more and it still does constant damage[Although not better as toxic]. Shadow ball is mainly there for STAB and other Rotoms.
My team overall
