Intro:
This is my second RMT on Smogon. I have feel as I have matured as a player and I'm back for another UBERz RMT.
The general strategy behind this team is to knock out the lead then set-up and phase my opponents until I can I can finish the job with ekiller Arceus. There have been many changes with them team for example for a while I was running Darkrai instead of diagla. Needless to say it didn't work out to my favor, but this team so far has only shown a few weakness which I will discuss later.
@ Choice Scarf
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunder
- Fire Blast
- Spacial Rend
- Hydro Pump
I know the idea of leads is outdated, but I find this just being my default option. I can 2 hit K.O groudon, kyorge, and deoxys-N/A/S depending if they have the focus sash. Also the set covers ferrothon and defensive fortress sets with ease. Since I am running max speed+ scarf I can out speed every other dragon type in Ubers giving me an advantage. The only trouble I find is Grachoms running the haban berry and bulky latias. Overall it is essential part of my team thought most of the battle.
@ Silk Scarf
Trait: Multitype
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- ExtremeSpeed
- Swords Dance
- Brick Break
- Shadow Force
Pretty mindless set. This is really the idea of a sweeper. I use it to clean-up my opponents team. I use to run recover instead of brick break, but since this was usually the last pokemon I sent out I needed something to finish up steal types when Plakia was dead or I was against Heatran.
@ Dragon Fang
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Rest
- Outrage
- Dragon Tail
- Sleep Talk
This is my main phaser. Giratina takes unboosted hits like the great wall that it is. Rest allows me to cure any posin/burn/ toxic spike nonsense and keep phasing. It also allows me to use dragon tail first if my giratina is asleep and out speed which is a huge helper. I use dragon fang because doing my many test runs I found that leftovers rarely made the difference and I didn't want to take the damage from using life orb. So Dragon Fang was a happy medium since I am only running dragon type moves anyway.
(Deoxys-A) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4Atk
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Stealth Rock
- Shadow Ball
- ExtremeSpeed
- Psycho Boost
Deoxys is really only on the to set up stealth rocks then hit hard. Not much to it.
@ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Draco Meteor
- Roar
- Aura Sphere
Plays a support role. Set up stealth rocks also. The double coverage of stealth rocks is handy as deoxys is quite frail and it doesn't always make sense to send it out just to get rocks up. Roar lets me phase how Substitute users and draco meteor slams dragon types when their users are unsuspecting.
(F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Spikes
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Volt Switch
Just here to help set-up and rapid spin. Pretty standard set IMO.
Some known problems.
I have come into a couple of rough patches though. Defense sandstorm teams just dominate this team. I personally have had a problem identifying My best guess is the use of steam types. In general steal types give me a lot of trouble. Another common threat to my team are bulky latias/latios sets. Palkia can't really take them out. Then by time I can get diagla in the game they have already done the calm mind thing and my only option is to use my -6 priority roar which it isn't fun taking that damage and leftovers isn't usually enough to recover from anything boosted latios/ latias can do. I also have trouble agaisnt teams that are based around darkrai. If I have to sleep fodder something early in the game it causes some trouble.
Thanks!!!
