So you say you want a revolution? (RMT)

Tyranitar.armaldo

Ok heres a little bit of backstory into why I am making this team.
I have recently been useing a team comprised of Salamence,snorlax,zapdos,celebi,dusknoir and tentacruel this had been working for quite a while now, until recently. I have been 6-0 5-0 and 4-0 in most of my recent matches, teams have been outpredicting me, out manouvering me and just generally being more powrful than I can handle. And I have decided to really make a powerful team, I have used far less defense here than usual, and I have picked out various pokemon which seem to counter my most common opponents. Also there is a slight emphasis on stopping my opponents stratagies (too many times have I let my opponents setup for free, not anymore) and just plain screwing them an thier team up.

And here it is with movesets.


machamp.png

Machamp: Lum berry
Adamant nature 252HP 160Atk 96Spd No guard
Dynamicpunch
Substitute
Stone edge
Payback
I cant belive I havent used an anti-lead pokemon before. I have always overlooked my opponents leading pokemon as being that important, not anymore. This guy is here to stop my opponents leading pokemon with whatever tricks they are trying to do, and crush them.
Leading gengars have been getting on my nerves the most recently which is why I am useing the stone edge/payback setup.

azelf.png

Azelf: Choice specs
Neive nature 36Atk 252SpAtk 220Spd
Psychic
Flamethrower
Grass knot
Explosion
Blisseys have been getting on my nerves recently as well which partly explains azelf being included in this team, the other reason is that it hits hard, especailly if my opponent thinks its safe to bring out their special walls if machamp goes down. Flamethrower is there to take out the many pestering steels types, and grass knot is for bulky waters.





bronzong.png

Bronzong: Leftovers
Sassy nature 252HP 86Atk 80Def 92SpDef Levitate
Gyro ball
Earthquake
Stealth rock/Explosion
Hypnosis
My secondary wall, works very nicely with swampert since each others single weakness is resisted by the other.
I am partialy undecided on stealth rock/explosion. His hypnosis is a very attractive part of this set, imobilising (and irritating) the opponent is always a good idea.

vaporeon.png

Vaporeon: Leftovers
Bold nature 188HP 252Def 68SpAtk
Surf
Ice beam
Wish
Protect
I love this pokemons defensive power, it can take some major hits and still stand strong. The wish passing is very helpful to my team, it lets my other walls get some extra recovery (well mabye not gliscor),lets machamp make more subs and can help revocer of the damage of Lucarios life orb. Its weakness's are also heavily resisted by bronzong and gliscor.
Yawn is for scaring off threataning pokemon or completly rendering them useless for a few turns.

gliscor.png

Gliscor: Leftovers
Impish nature 252HP 12Atk 28Def 218Spd Hyper cutter
Swords dance
Roost
Earthquake
Stone edge
Works well with my bronzong and vaporeon, this extra speedy version can take down other lucarios that would be packing ice punch (and if they arnt then they are screwed anyway). The swords dance means that if the opponents arent fast or strong enough he could even sweep them.



lucario.png

Lucario: Life orb
Adamant nature 252Atk 252Spd 6HP Inner focus
Close combat
Extremespeed
Ice punch
Swords dance
What can I say? I love this set. Anyway lucario is meant for late game sweeping after both azelf and machamp are out of action, he sweeps completly differently to my other two major attacking pokemon so I hope that throws my opponents off a bit. But like my Azelf he should be able to cause major damage.
EDIT: I just got my ice punching lucario, so this team will be ready to roll soon.
 
Solid Team. I see no huge weak, But you can heal, and each of your pokes can be stopped (bar maybe machamp, but Dynamic Punch can be PPstalled). Be stopped mean switches. Your team cant heal, so switches means attack that WILL be taken and cant be healed.

Maybe a WishBliss.
 
I'm seeing a bit of an offensive gyara weak, not like it could sweep your whole team but it has ample opportunities to switch in and you dont really have any checks for it. pretty much watch out for it lategame


one poke who will run through this is scarf heracross. nothing stops him at all and with one fight resist you're probably crying when your opponent sends him in lategame.

infernape is also a worry since you can just revenge him with azelf and if its scarf nape oh no~~~

bliss/zong is a kind of a frail defensive core for this team all things considered.. you really need a fight resist.

speedy gliscor over pert seems approprite, you can afford the ice weak since zong stops most physical ice threats. from there you need to deal with heatran/nape/gyara. wish vaporeon over blissey could work here as well as support zong in particular, and machamp and azelf if you got the chance.

with vappy>bliss and gliscor over pert you have a skymin weak among other things though, just be smart with zong and figure it out.
 
Great set for SubChamp, you'll sub if someone switched in like, Skymin, for example.

Also one a downfront, I can notice that TrickGar or TrickGross may disrupt the team so be careful.

Vaporeon,gliscor and bronzong, hehe thats where this all started from. Oh well good thing I have already bred them. It will mean I can use this team sooner.
Also I dont think I should take skymin into account just yet, its placement in OU is still being discussed.
 
I like your title. Anyways, I think you have a great team =D The only problem I really see is that your vaporeon has yawn while your Brongzong has hypnosis. So, I would replace yawn with Protect. I just love the combo you use Wish and protect.

Added protect. And thanks for the cool comment :).
 
Your team has enough resists so why not sacrfice that Protect on Vappy for Gyarados to HP:Electric or make Azelf Scarf with T-|Bolt
 
My biggest worry is that fact that Slowbro comes in on everything bar Azelf, who can easily be Pursuited, or walled and "forced" to Explode.

I would throw Hidden Power [Electric] on Vaporeon over Protect, which is less useful due to the amount of Pokémon that can set up. It would also help against that offensive Gyarados that Gorm was on about. Sure, you can Hypnosis it with Bronzong, but that doesn't eliminate the problem.
 
I would suggest running a Life Orb on Azelf over Choice Specs. This means that you don't rely solely on prediction to beat an incoming Blissey, it boosts your Explosion, allows you to choose freely between attacks, and the power loss is not too noticeable (1.3 from 1.5).
