Suaver here,
:)
So old thread got locked should be deleted promptly but i am repeating a lot from it and i have a new member so cheers! and i am not doing that damn team-building process again!
"You've met with a terrible fate,haven't you?"
Yes, Yes i have.
This team came up as a result of a terrible loss.
I was playing with Scarfed Raptor's Weak to Rotom Heat team(not because it's not good ,hell it's awesome:D) and lost to a volt turn intimidate team using scarf rotom wash in the first round of a scripted OU Tourney.,
My teamates were crushed by the heavy offense and at the last minute mega pinsir was about to come through and a scarf rotom ruins the onlaught with a 85% accuracy will-o-wisp.
i was so depressed.
no beef though i was happy i'd been enlightened and we became friends. heck he helped me test the team.
So I kept four things in mind when building this team:
Speed. Priority. Coverage. and if all else failed. Backup.
before i get lots of people telling me not to run 2 scarfs i can't part with scarf rotom it leaves people helpless.
Team at a Glance:
Lando-Coffee (Landorus-Therian) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock/Stone Edge
- U-turn
A nice fake lead and decent revenge killer late game
the speed evs let it outspeed a good part of the metagame and plus 1 base 100s while the defense evs let it take a brave bird from talonflame a little bit better.
it deals with pinsir,mawile,talonflame,zard x ,basically anything not azumarill and mamoswine. Also I switch this in on Adamant zard x(Tested with the Awesome Jin White bam its back to neutral and 2 I outspeed and dispose of it with a delicious expresso eq.
Psycho. (Greninja) @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature
IVs: 30 SAtk / 30 Spd
- Hydro Pump
- U-turn
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Fire]
The Standard Greninja set will for me because i hate the stall that ensues when i'm going against ferro ,so HP fire is wonderful for this.
Sometimes, i contemplate running scarf on this because the amount of scarfchomp on the ladder is ungodly.
also it always OHKOs Dragonite. Always.
Don't believe me?
252 SpA Life Orb Protean Greninja Ice Beam vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Multiscale Dragonite: 328-385 (101.2 - 118.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Buzzsaw (Scizor) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
Scizor with a choice band hits so hard 2hkoing almost anything that doesnt resist it in the ou metagame. it's that good. it mostly acts like a pivot for my team and pursuit trapping latis helps but i'm thinking about adding knock off and superpower for those other pesky steel types.
Does Work. (Alakazam) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Magic Guard
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def
- Psyshock
- Dazzling Gleam
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Energy Ball
Every time this thing comes in something dies.
Alakazam has become one of my favorite revenge killers due to his great coverage and power. Not only that, Magic Guard makes it the greatest Focus Sash user in the game since he takes no damage from hazards or weather and is guranteed to get an extra hit in. Psyshock is to pokemon such as Blissey and Heracross for enormous damage. Focus Blast is to take down Tyranitar and Mega Gyarados while HP Ice slays the unsuspecting Gliscor and Garchomp and Dragonite and Landorus and Landorus-T. Energy ball is for coverage but i'm debating on putting shadow ball in this slot.
Red Ranger (Bisharp) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- Iron Head
A fitting replacement for venusaur, can take on fairies well and gets up rocks for my team,
It punishes the defoggers who try to remove my rocks,Even mandibuzz is 2hkod by Iron Head after the Defiant boost and with the knock off buff this gen ,it cause massive damage to everything that doesn't resist it.
Panasonic (Rotom-Wash) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Volt Switch
- Trick
The heart and soul of my team simply because no one and I mean NO ONE expects scarf rotom-w, its kinda sad ,Hydro Pump ohkos non scarf excadrill, Volt switch ohkos greninja, will-o-wisp cripples bisharp and other potent physical priority users and lastly trick to wreck a wall.
Replays
