Seriously, Play Little Cup

sbc

My first Rate My Team for some years as part of promoting the Little Cup Metagame.

Bronzor @ Oran Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 52 Atk/228 Def/228 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Reflect
- Earthquake

A great lead, gets in SR early to disrupt random sashers and sets up reflect to help with stuff like choiced murkrow etc. I may change the moveset since I rarely use EQ although there isnt much else and anyhow a KO on magmemite is cool.

Diglett (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Arena Trap
EVs: 34 HP/240 Atk/236 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit
- Aerial Ace

Has been on every single LC team I've made thus far, dealing with the likes of Elekid, Magby, Rhyhorn etc in one hit is awesome and can revenge kill stuff like Dragon Dance Dratini.

Gastly (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 118 HP/196 Spd/196 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Will-o-wisp

Sub Gastly is just so cool, and protects against Sucker Punch and just lets me scout against choice pokemon and stops me being revenge killed or being as weak to pursuit. Used to have explosion over WoW, but I rarely used it. Perhaps HP Fighting?

Chinchou (M) @ Oran Berry
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 62 Def/220 Spd/228 SDef
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
- Confuse Ray

Awesome pokemon with a good set of resistances and counters Staryu well. Parafuses random stuff or hits away with Surf or Thunderbolt. Part of my way of dealing with Dratini, luring the Outrage from it for...

Murkrow (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Insomnia
EVs: 236 Atk/192 Spd/80 SAtk
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Sucker Punch
- Drill Peck
- Pursuit
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

Murkrow to revenge kill! This thing is simply devastating. Immunity to sleep is great in LC and CB STABed sucker punch OHKOs a bloody lot in LC, stuff like Dratini, Porygon etc fall in one hit. Added bonus of fucking over a Diglett locked into EQ.

Staryu @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 36 HP/236 Spd/200 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Hidden Power [Grass]

My cleaner, I wanted a quick pokemon who can do the equivalent of Mixape or Deoxys-S in OU and this does this well. With SR down, Surf is OHKOing most pokemon that don't resist it and BoltBeam gives great coverage. HP grass is for Chinchou but I usually go to Diglett for the quick kill.

My main problem is my initial switch into Dratini, perhaps Aron/Shieldon could come in for Bronzor. Anyhow, rate/suggest/recall how I beat your ass with this team...
 
Leftovers does not heal much at such low levels so I suggest Sitrus Berry on your Gastly because it will heal more than Leftovers even if you are using Substitute.

Oran Berry may heal more or less, depending on its HP. If it's less than 22, use a Oran Berry. If it's more than 21, use a Sitrus Berry.

I'm assuming you know the reasoning I have for that so I won't explain.
 
Right, Oran>Leftovers (Oran is 10 HP, Stirus is 25% so you would need 40+ HP for it to be better) on Ghast, try out Sludge Bomb on Ghastly over W-o-W its been working great for me.

will do full rate later
 
I remember using oran berry+sub on one of my teams and it didnt activate with sub so I am not so sure.
 
Yeah, oran only activates when the opponent bings you down to the activation range.


Nice team overall. Will rate fully later.
