Introduction
Hey Smogon, its been 2 months since I've been on Smogon, and I'm back with another RMT, its been a long time since I made a RMT, but you guys know me as the Trick Room user. I know some people don't like Trick Room but I don't care I love it. Its a good anti-meta gameplay thats gets surprise KOs and throws a lot of people off guard. Also the team is full of shiny Pokemon so just a little side note.

Team Building Process
I started off with Jellicent to be my check to Drizzle Teams. B/c B &W is crawling with Politoed and Co. Also with Will-O-Wisp is also needed to stop Physically attackers from tearing through my team.
Next, with the help of @ Expert Physics, I added Donphan. He is here to be my Spinner to get rid of any Entry Hazards from getting on my side of the field, which would hurt Emboar and Salamence. He also is a good check to Dragons with its Ice Shard and its priority is great for Trick Room b/c he might be able to KO weakened Pokemon on my opponent's team. He has some good Synergy with Jellicent, seeing how Water Types will go straight to Jellicent for some quick HP, the problem is Grass types but Emboar covers that weakness.
You can't have a Trick Room team with out this little guy. We all know the pain of dealing with Reuniclus and the Trick room versions throws a lot of teams for a loop. With it's magic Guard ability I don't have to worry about Reuniclus being hurt by entry hazards which is very good.
Now I chose this Glass Cannon, because I wanted a Mixed Sweeper on the team. After seeing Sciztar's version of Emboar is serves great as a Mixed Sweeper to only problem he has is hitting Water Types. I used the set made by Sciztar, so all credit goes to him. I didn't make this set so don't ask me, ask @ Sciztar.
Bronzong and Emboar have great synergy, as they both resist each others weaknesses was great, but I needed another sweeper so this is where Bronzong was thought of.
The final member of the team Salamence. He is my revenge killer, and my clean up sweeper. He is my other mixed sweeper which does great for when Trick Room is not up.

A Closer Look At The Team
Jellicent @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
Quiet Nature
EVs: 248 HP / 212 Def / 44 Sp Def
Trick Room
Will-O-Wisp
Taunt
Scald
When I was making this Trick Room Team I really wanted it to be as agressive as possible but drizzle teams just gave me trouble, especially Choice Specs Politoed. Jellicent is the defensive pivot of the team because it is capable of switching on it all day ,although it must be carfeul of random toxic. Jellicent is a reliable trick roomers and is very difficult to switch into because of Will-o-Wisp or scald. c And he's also my counter to Scizor which is one of the biggest threats to TR teams , he also checks Infernape nicely (if he doesn't pack grass knot -_- ). The spread is pretty straightforward, maximizing jellicent physical bulk.
Donphan @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Brave Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 252 ATK / 6 Def
Stealth Rock
Ice Shard
Earthquake
Rapid Spin
Seeing how I needed a Spinner for Emboar and Salamence, @Expert Physics suggested I add Donphan. Also he helps stop +1 MixMence so he won't start tearing through my team, with Ice Shard. Earthquake is for STAB move to hit those Fire Types, he is also good against Sun Teams, unless its Venasuar.
Bronzong @ Macho Brace
Ability: Levitate
Brave Nature
Evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Trick Room
Gyro Ball:
Earthquake
Zen Headbutt:
Bronzong is a staple on every trick room team because of its many resistance to the OU tier. Bronzong is even more valuable in BW because of its checking most of the sand sweepers with its excellent bulk, good ability ,and a really underestimated attack. With macho brace its main STAB Gyro ball is always at 150 BP so it'll be OHKO a lot of thing that doesn't resist it. With SR support, Pokemon such as latios , landorus , latias gets 2hkoed, by Gyro Ball. Bronzong is also a reliable dragon counter (a part from haxorus u_u ) , and it isn't trapped by magnezone because of Earthquake, which makes strategies around.
Emboar @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 156 HP / 160 ATK / 192 SpATK
Overheat
Hammer Arm
Hidden Power Ice
Stone Edge
I stole this Emboar set from Sciztar. It really is a good set for Trick Room if you use it correctly. It's good IMO because most people in the OU only see Emboar as a physical attacker, but when they see Emboar sweeping their team they are confused. He is very unpredictable, but the downside is as Sciztar stated you need to make sure there is no Entry Hazards on your side of the field because it cuts Emboar's life in half.
Here are Some Attack Calculations of Emboar

Reuniclus @ Life Orb
Trait: Magic Guard
Evs: 192 HP / 64 Def / 252 SpAtk
Quiet Nature
Trick Room
Psyshock
Focus Blast
Shadow Ball
The most broken pokemon to still be in the OU Tier. I love this pokemon he can fit on every Trick Room Team, he was like Bronzong in Gen IV, everyone had to have him, but enough about Bronzong. Hidden Power Fire is to opposing Scizors and MAgnezone, Skarmory, etc from stopping Scizor from sweeping my opponents team. As unreliable Focus Blast is its all I have, sometimes it might hit sometimes it might not, but when it does Tyranitars that don't have Chople Berries, there KOed. Psyshock is to BLissey and Chansey who want to try and wall me but threatened to be 2HKOed. The Evs are simple more Def Evs to help sponge an attack or two.
Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 64 Atk / 192 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature (+Spe, -SpDef)
- Outrage
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
Draco Meteor is Salamence's best STAB move, which gets rid of a lot of pokemon except Blissey and Chansey. So I gave him outrage to hit Pokemonn on the defensive side, which throws a lot people off. Earthquake is here to hit Steel type, and Rock pokemon who resist my STAB Dragon type moves. Fire Blast is for those annoying Scizor, Skarmory, Ferrothorn, and Forrestress who want to come in after I use Outrage or Draco Meteor, and they are sent to Hell with Fire Blast.
