Kangaskhan @ Kangaskhanite
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 132 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Return
- Power-Up Punch
- Sucker Punch
As someone who loves muscles, I always try to play a typically fast sweeper with some unexpected bulk if I can get away with it ;). You'll see that on Talonflame, too. Fake Out can help scout, Power-Up Punch can help sweep. Its all pretty standard stuff we've seen for years, haven't we?
Talonflame @ Life Orb
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 200 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Flare Blitz
- Swords Dance
Why is Thundurus so important in BSS? Because of this bird! Once again, we've got some moderate bulk investment, and a lot less speed, but that's what Gale Wings is for. Swords Dance and Roost help me YOMI Sucker Punchers and Aegislash into submission!
Garchomp @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Swords Dance
- Rock Tomb
"Boku no babyyy!!" This guy was #1 in the Rating Battles stats last year, and for good reason. Swords Dance provides potential win conditions/sweeps, Rock Tomb provides excellent speed control for my somewhat slow Kang, and especially slow Champ. I could possibly try Dragon Claw instead of Outrage, but the damage would be too weak. I feel confident that Outrage is my best choice for Dragon STAB.
Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 28 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD / 220 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Superpower
- U-turn
Shoutouts to Theorymon and flargananddingle for donating to me a flawless IV'd Lando-T! As a more-often Doubles/Triples player, I can attest to Landorus' power, and he's great in Singles, too. Intimidate disruption and U-Turn allow me to do some valuable scouting and pivoting. I get to see if my opponent switches, what move they're trying to use, whatever :P!
Isamu Akai (Clefable) @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 12 SpA / 72 SpD
Bold Nature
- Cosmic Power
- Stored Power
- Minimize
- Moonlight
Straight Outta Kanto. Having only achieved a mild portion of my potential in Kanto Classic, I'm taking Minimize Clefable straight outta Kanto and into BS Singles for a mean Revenge on life! Since Clefable base stats are higher in Sp. Def than Def. I figured adding more investment on Def with the Nature and the EVs was a good idea.
Aaron (Machamp) @ White Herb
Ability: Guts
Level: 50
EVs: 236 HP / 148 Atk / 24 Def / 100 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Close Combat
- Ice Punch
- Knock Off
"I sure do love muscles ;)." I love Machamp in a big, throbbing way. Bigger than the ESRB will allow in Pokemon games so far. Also, secret Guts Champ! Now I can absorb Toxic, Wisp, T-Wave (when I'm lucky) and use my
My current goal with this team is to reach extremely high in the BS Singles Showdown ladder, my current minor goal is 1500, and I'm at about 1412 I think. I don't have much time on my hands to play on 3DS enough, with all the animations and whatever, but I'll be playing on that somehow someway...
