~ Smile or Flame ~ In The End I Won A 128 People Tourny

[Dzcarlos]

Azelf @ Focus Slash (Lead)
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Speed / 252 Att / 4HP
Nature: Jolly
- Stealth Rock
- U-Turn
- Taunt
- Explosion

After many chances I found this guy to be the best around lead. With 361 can outspeed a large number of leads to taunt and set-up stealth rock. Those few that can outspeed him its itself which he can U-Turn to his teammate Flygon which can kill/scout. Also, U-Turn can allow me to break the focus slash many leads posses nowdays. It can also use explosion to eliminate or injure an enemy.


Gyarados @ Wacan Berry (Bulky Sweeper)
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 136 Hp / 72 Att / 96 Def / 204 Speed
Nature: Adamant
- Taunt
- Stone Edge
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance

Almost too similar to the smogon bulky version with a very few differences like: I prefer wacan berry, even if sometimes seems useless, sometimes it survive with +2 dance (which can sweep an unprepare team.) The other is that I put up a bit more evs from Hp to Speed, that can help outspeed other gyarados without a DD and any 120 speed base pokemon like alakazam, dugtrio or sceptile which is resistant to both of his attacks.


Electivire @ Expert Belt (Sweeper)
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 100 HP / 252 Att / 156 Speed
Nature: Adamant
- Thunder Punch
- Cross Chop
- Ice Punch
- Fire Punch

This guy goes pair with Gyarados. Everyone will try to attack Gyarados with an electric move. Which he can come and get the speed boost he needs to even sweep. He as enough speed after a boost (397.5 arounded to 397) to outspeed those 394 speed pokemons and non-smart tricky scarf 396 speed pokemons. Commonly your better off using ice punch if your opponent as something weak to electric attacks, since switch mostlikely will be weak to ice.


Snorlax @ Leftovers (Curselax: S.Def Wall/Sweeper)
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Hp / 252 S.Def / 4 Att
Nature: Careful
- Body Slam
- Curse
- Fire Punch
- Rest

This guy can be really annoying and powerful. I prefer to max S.Def and Hp, so it can be able to resist Special Sweepers more while cursing. Body Slam for possible Paralize and fire punch to use before cursing if you think your opponent will switch Scizor to kill him.


Scizor @ Choice Band (Revenge Killer)
Ability: Technician
EVs: 236 Hp / 252 Att / 20 Speed
Nature: Adamat
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- U-Turn
- Superpower

Bullet punch is the primary attack. It needs as much power as it can get 394 power + stab + technician + choice band it's the highest priority moveon out there. Pursuit, its to kill any ghost pokemon that pops on its way or kill anything thats gonna die. U-Turn can scout so you dont get stuck and superpower for anything resistant to U-Turn and Pullet Punch. A bit extra Speed to possible outspeed another Scizor.


Flygon @ Choice Scarf (Scouter)
Ability: Levitate
Evs: 252 Att / 252 Speed / 4 Hp
Nature: Jolly
- U-Turn
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Crunch

This guy can help me switch while dealing a bit damage. Also, it can sometimes allow you to choose a pokemon after your opponent switches. EQ and OR Both stab moves and Crunch can kill Gengar after stealth rock for what I have seen.


Common weakness I know:
Machamp - Best hope I have is switch to Gyarados for less damage and killing or revenge killing it, depends on confuse luck.
Jirachi - Usually ends up dying by flygon but its annoying when I keep getting flinch.
Rotom (forms) - Most diffucult thing for me to kill. He usually pops up for gyarados I can get second DD and waterfall for flinch kill or switch to Electrivire for boost and get a speed boost while damaging it. If he pops on Snorlax, I know its a trick one, so best thing is Flygon switch so I get a free turn with flygon.
Breelom - If he sets up, Im practically lost since spore makes it a -1 + switch = -2 pokemons which just ends up kill by revenge.
Tyranitar (Scarf) - I never know if to expect this guy. If its an scarf it can sweep at least 1 or 2 pokemons (if switch).

8 HP / 140 Atk / 144 SpD / 216 Spe

^ thats the orrginal colbur berry lead set, and the one smogon suggests. Although speed ev's can be taken added out of attack. The set can survive a meteor mash from metagross, as well as a leaf storm from roserade. These are the most powerful attack's azelf will face as a lead, so the ev's mean she also lives things like a life orbed starmie hydro pump, Fake out + fire blast from infernape ect. Azelf also lives a payback from machamp easily. Then keep your old set, and you have a better lead.

As you already have a Pursuit user in Scizor to get rid of Ghosts which means that you don't really need Fire Punch on Snorlax to hit them, this also means that Tyranitar and Heatran absoloutely wall you to death. Therefore changing Fire Punch to Earthquake allows you to easily KO them after a Curse. Also Wacan Berry is kind of useless on Gyarados, as the only people who use electric attacks on Gyarados are Starmie and Jolteon. Standard Life Orb Starmie's Tbolt does 61% minimum and Jolteon even without a boosting item does a minimum of 74.6% and if he is holding any kind of boosting item then you are KO'ed. Also nearly any Stone Edge will KO you. Therefore you should change the item to Leftovers or make Gyarados Offensive with Life Orb, 252 Speed 252 Adamant 4 Def.

My thread got closed for noobish-ness, so you may not want to listen to me. BUT Azelf and Flygon look pretty good to me. I would, however give superpower to Snorlax, rather than Scizor. It's strong against rock and steel, the only things that resist body slam (excluding ghost), and Snorlax can curse to get rid of the attack loss. It would be a good fit. Also, since Scizor would have to switch to eliminate stat loss, you want to consider brick break for him instead. It still gets rid of steels, which resist his other 3 moves. I'm mostly ok with Electivire and Gyarados, but you may want to consider replacing stone edge with avalanche. Completely unorthodox and unpredictable, but with waterfall, it covers the same types and more; plus it has good accuracy. I Don't think Electivire needs cross chop, since my solution would already have two fighting moves on your team. That slot could go to............. rock slide??? Since you would've lost stone edge on Gyarados, you get one rock move on your team. Just a thought. Anyway, that's all the advice I have, so good luck with your team.
