Enjoy the massive image.
Intro:
I'm fairly new to competitive battling, so I thought I would try something a bit different out. The idea of this team is to stall the hell out of teams until all of the "stallers" (They aren't really stallers, BTW, more like pseudo-stallers) are dead, and then rape the significantly weakened team with an offensive palooza. It's great fun. And I only battle for fun.
Of course, it has it's issues, and I've only been using it for a few days, but it's pretty rape, compared to my last team, which sucked because I was even more of a noob than I am now.
So. Here it is:
The Team
Swampert
Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP/216 Def/54 SAtk
Relaxed nature (+Def, -SpD)
- Earthquake
- Surf
- Roar
- Stealth Rock
Ok, so you may or may not be thinking, "Hey, Swampert lead? That's a slight bit unusual." And you may or may not be right. But I love this thing. It only has one weakness, and although 4x, it isn't all that common of an attacking type. It's good at setting up Stealth Rocks, and phazing the hell out of teams, plus attacking with Earthquake and Surf. It also rapes other leads. This is how it usually goes down:
Swampert uses Stealth Rocks, they use some form of entry hazard. Swampert scouts a good portion of the team with Roar, and when it gets into Torrent range, starts blasting off Surf like nobody's business. And then it dies. So it's sort of a variant of the "Suicide-lead", just without the complete suicide. I love it very much.
Tentacruel
Tentacruel (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 HP/122 Def/136 SpD
Calm nature (+SpD, -Atk)
- Rapid Spin
- Surf
- Toxic Spikes
- Knock Off
Good ol' Support. Rapid Spin for the aforementioned (Or, more correctly, aforepictured) Togekiss and Salamance, Surf for standard STAB attacking move, Toxic Spikes to piss people off, Knock off to, again, piss people off. This set is so obvious that it doesn't need explaining. But I will anyway.
Rapid Spin entry hazards, set up Toxic Spikes, leave with some HP intact, in order to ruin Choice item users later with Knock Off. So. Friggin. Simple.
Togekiss
Togekiss (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP/6 Def/252 SpD
Calm nature (+SpD, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Roost
- Aura Sphere
- Thunder Wave
(Insert Pokemon Name) flinched!
Yup. This thing is again, a berry, berry (Trix!) simple set. The ONLY thing needing to be explained, and this is only if you're mentally retarted, is T-Wave. "Toxic Spikes gives most an immunity to this!"
Things. Are. Immune. To. Toxic. Spikes. Floaty/Fly-y thingies.
Breloom
Breloom (M) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 44 HP/252 Atk/214 Spe
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SpA)
- Spore
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
Sub-Seeder. Spore, free turn for Substitute, Leech Seed, rape with Focus Punch. Oh, and see what I mean by only being half stallish? Spore is great, because Flying-types are almost always switched into Breloom, so they are immune to Toxic Spikes, and he takes out his biggest enemy. Toxic Orb + Poison Heal is the greatest combo ever, since he restores 12% of his health every turn.
Gengar
Gengar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 Def/252 Spe/252 SpA
Timid nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power Ice
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
Now come the Attackers. Gengar puts some of the biggest threats in the game out of commission with this set. HP is for Dragons. Shadow Ball for STAB, and plus, it's a great attack in general. Thunderbolt for Gyarados. (I had Gyarados problems) Focus Blast epars (If you can figure out what that means I will give you a cookie) Tyranitar. And those four moves all rock in general. So yeah, he's awesome.
Salamance
Salamance (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 232 Atk/252 Spe/26 SpA
Naughty nature (+Atk, -SpD)
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
Salamance. The beast from RSE. It is, IMO, the best dragon in OU, and one of the most dominant attacking forces in the entire game. Dragon Dance lets it 2HKO the majority of Pokemon, including Steel types, with Outrage. 2 Dragon Dances? Sweep. It's a pure attacker, and it does it's job well. The move set is simple. Dragon Dance. Maybe another Dragon Dance. Sweep with appropriate moves.
And that is my team, please comment, and constructive criticism is appreciated.
