Hi guys
Ive decided to make a team without weather. Ofcourse it was a challenge, but I have peaked at #20, and this team is consistently top 100. However, I feel this team has room for plenty of improvement
So here we go..
Deoxys-S@Life Orb
252 Sp.atk/252 Speed/4 Atk Naive
Psychic
Superpower
Ice beam
HP (fire)
This thing gets so many surprise kills, most notable being Genesect. People always expect Hazards and switch in Espeon, allowing me to be more careful when I SR. I am thinking of Shadow ball, but I cant find a place for it:/. Deoxys also acts as a great late game sweeper. Outspeeding a +1 Dnite is fun too
Celebi @leftovers
@252 HP/252 Sp.atk/ Modest
Energy Ball
Stealth Rock
Psychic
Energy ball
This thing is the perfect switch in to Politoed, taking minimal damage from water attacks and not minding those bogus burns. Psychic KOs most conkeldurrs and all brelooms. The Evs were plain lazy on my part, Im thinking of changing it to 252 HP/148Sp.Atk/108 Speed, to outspeed all Brelooms.
Infernape @Choice band
Iron Fist
252 Atk/252 Speed Jolly
Flare Blitz
Close Combat
Mach Punch
U-turn
Band infernape gets plenty of surprise KOs with its surprisingly powerful CC/Flare Blitz. Mach punch allows me to Revenge Excadrill, finish off weakend pokes. U-Turn for keeping momentum. CC outright KOs lots of Ninetales as well, which, surprisingly, is annoyng for this team.
Scizor@Choice Band
Technician
252atk/252 HP/4 Speed Adamant
Bullet Punch
U-turn
Superpower
Counter
CB Scizor, nuff said. Adds Valuable priority + Offensive Momentum. I could not find a useful fourth move, so decided on counter for its ability to revenge a +1 Dnite locked in outrage/ Bulk up Scrafty etc
Thunderus @Leftovers
Prankster
252Sp.atk/252 Speed/4 Hp
Thunderbolt
HP(ice)
Thunderwave
Substitute
Priority T-Wave + Sub is Amazing. Sub eases prediction while T-wave cripples sweepers. Sub Also allows me to get a free turn when facing Gliscor who usually tries to Protect or breloom who usually tries to spore, expecting NP. It also allows me to beat Zapdos who hopes for a free Sp.Atk boost. It also allows me to take draco meteor uncathed, usually forcing a switch.
Kingdra@leftovers
Swift Swim
252 Atk/252 Speed/4 HP Jolly
Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Outrage
Substitute
Ah kingdra. Rain teams hate this guy. He is also one of the few pokemon able to shrug off Specs Kingras water attacks and D dance in its face. He also loves Jellicent/Blissey who try to WoW/toxic and allow a free sub. I originally put him in simply to counter rain, bt this guy has been serving me surprisingly well.
Well hit me Smogonites :D
