Stats up! To arms!

chaos 9

this team is currently 7-0 on shoddy and is surprisingly fast and powerful. it is basicly a team that spends all of its time on stat upping for sweeps of 2-3 pokmon. this is also my first rmt so dont kill me lol.

the "salachomp" from the stat upper page. (thats actually what inspired this team so thanx) This thing wrecks stuff after a dd. outspeeds scarf chomp and kills it with dclaw. fire blast ohkos skarm and other steels. eq for non floaty steel and fires ect. works wonders. kills 1-2.

Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Close Combat
- Extremespeed
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Swords Dance
say hello to sweepmon. it owns any gliscor silly enough to switch in with hp ice and then sweeps. the rest is standard i think but naive for the extra speed with close combat and to make sure i'm not outsped by gliscor. kills 2-3 if not their whole team.

Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/4 hp
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Substitute
Everybody loves haxchomp. not. this thing wrecks stuff behind a sub. basicly sub stall for a miss, sd, sub stall and sweep. works wonders in a sand storm and kills 1-3 depending on my luck. once i got hit 3 times straight with fire blast in a sand storm with bright powder. :(

Empoleon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Drill Peck
- Earthquake
- Aqua Jet
- Swords Dance
You dont even want to know how deadly this is. swept 4 teams so far and counting. it can use its "2394719749po8019874" resistences to quote the stat up thread to switch in and then bye bye at least one poke. sd up and destroy with aqua jet mostly. surprisingly bulky and can take a starmie or gengar t-bolt and sd and then kill with aqua jet. (starmie must be weakend obviously)

So rmt.
 
Take the goddamn brightpowder off your fucking garchomp!!

Heh, I see you like that empoleon set too, I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

Your team is pretty EdgeQuake weak. Flygon > garchomp?

(EdgeQuake is the new QuakeSlide. Patented by me. :P)
 
Wow, your team is very offensive focused. I'd argue that it's not really wise to lead with Rhyperior, more often than not he'll get put to sleep and your opponent will be the one getting the jump on the setup. Because your team benefits so strongly from sandstorm, I'd suggest Boah to start with. If Lum Berry activates immediately after the status effect hits (I must confess I don't remember if it does) it will enable you to sub first turn against any Pokemon.

I'm also not positive about Life Orb on Salamence. With SR and SS up it'll lose 31% on switching in, and 16% every subsequent turn. Expert Belt or Leftovers would be a better idea. Rhyperior is walled pretty easily with that moveset, though I don't know what to suggest in its place. You *might* want to consider Metagross for that slot, though that makes you fire weak. Heatran could remedy that, though I don't know where you'd put him.

Edit: Consider a Salac Berry or Liechi berry on Garchomp rather than Brightpowder. That way you aren't boned if your hax evasion strategy fails to let you get a Sword's Dance off. Also if you lead with Ttar you might want to run Tbolt over Ice Beam or Dark Pulse to counter Gyarados, who's another annoying starter that can mess you up with Taunt.
 
You're team is very ground weak. Garchomp and Mamoswine can sweep your whole team. Second problem is big fighting weak. 1 resistance 4 weakness.

Your team needs Cresselia, Weezing or Gliscor. They all take fighting hits like a champ and they all have eq immunity.
 
Ah, that's a point. I didn't want to pose any really dramatic changes, but Gliscor would go well in Rhyperior's slot, and can learn Sword's Dance in keeping with your stat upping strategy.
 
Shen is right. Gliscor would go well in Rhyperior's slot and he also would use Baton Pass and pass speed boosts to Empoleon, Tyranitar and Lucario.

I suggest Agility/Baton Pass/EQ/Roost. Im sure that Gliscor would help your team.

He's right you know. You could let Garchomp stay though
(WITHOUT THE BRIGHTPOWDER!). Most people don't play by those rules. Get something to replace Salamence because it gets screwed by many now. Sandstorm don't help, either. Plus, you seem to be lacking some bulk (tanks, anyone?). Cressy w/ Lefties, Hippo or Cradily works wonders.
 
I would say DDnite over Mence, because I run the double dragon combo and find it works better with his bulkyness, and he has outrage which is good.
:)
 
4/6 of your pokemon are weak to ground and fighting, and it's not like Garchomp enjoys taking either of those types of attacks. I could see an opposing Garchomp sweeping this team quite easily. Gengar, Mismagius and Gyarados actually cover both of those types, and would fit well into a offensive team like this. I would suggest replacing Rhyperior, because it seems to need the most setup and be the least productive on this team. That's just me.

Run either Lonely or Naughty on Lucario. Without a +attack nature, you can't reach those critical OHKO's on pokemon like Skarmory.

That's been around since the very beginning on D/P, you didn't patent anything.
 
Yeah, DDnite would fill in the bulky/salamence spot well. He needs more love.

Is a double dragon combo DD+outrage?

Lol, that was half me being hopeful and half a joke. I've never seen anyone use it before...
 
This team is absolutely torn apart by Infernape with Close Combat, Flamethrower, Grass Knot and Hidden Power Ice. Your only hope against it is Extremespeed from Lucario once Empoleon goes down, and that won't be KOing it without a prior boost, unless you've managed to deal ~30% to it before that. This isn't out of the question, of course, but it's something to keep an eye on!

Now, I understand that you won't necessarily be out to wall it on a team as fast-paced as this. At the very least, put Salac Berry on your Garchomp so you can Substitute down to the point where you outspeed it after it switches in on you! Having something with greater Speed would be handy here, as Rhyperior still needs a turn to set up before it's capable of pulling this off.
 
yes my team is set up oriented but i take out ape fairly easily. empoleon kills it as i dont think it is ohkoed it can sd and then aqua jet for the kill. same with lucaio as it can extreme spd it. keep the comments coming!
