Suspect - Dragon Dance

[Bakachild]

Introduction:

Well I've been playing as Jaggerjaquez so I might have played some people. I got this to 21 (1490) and then been downhill to 1444 then stopped playing. I have been lazy to move it up so I might need some help.

Synergy:

This basically started out with Tyranitar to stop rain dance teams. From there on I worked around Gyarados and Tyranitar to eliminate anything to stop them. You may notice a bit of offensive flavor to the team, because it is offense :P Without further edu

Closer Look:



The Lead

@ Leftovers
Relaxed
0 Speed IVS
EV: 252 HP / 30 Atk / 220 Def / 8 SpD

-Toxic Spikes
-Stealth Rock
-Gyro Ball
-Explosion

This guy gets me started and I started off with Roserade for a reliable sleep turn move. But I didn't have enough space for SR. I chose this guy because there are more bulky leads in suspect than suicide. If anything these suicide leads are easily handled by Gyro Ball and prediction. Toxic Spikes + Stealth Rock provide quicker OHKO's with my pokemon. Toxic Spikes is a must to stop some unwanted walls that might be difficult to remove late game. Gyro Ball + 30 Atk + 0 Speed IVs for maximum damage on those speedy pokemons. Explosion is my finishing move on something like Gyarados that might be out of control. I try to watch out for bounce.

The Stoppers

@ Choice Scarf
Mild
EV: 6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Speed

-Thunderbolt
-Hp [Fire]
-Flash Cannon
-Explosion

My first stopper to prevent Scizor, Lucario, Jirachi, Skarmory, Foretress, Metagross mainly from ruining my parade. I will usually trap Scizor who try to Bullet Punch my Tyranitar which is the obvious choice. Mild is my choice because I have attempted Naive and it failed to OHKO Lucario both with Fire and Thunderbolt w/e SR Down. Modest outspeeeds it and does the trick.

@ Choice Scarf
Modest
EV: 44 HP / 212 SpA / 252 Speed

-Overheat
-Shadow Ball
-Thunderbolt
-Trick

Amazing - it stops Lucario who dares set up on Tyranitar's face. It also handles opposing Gyarados who try to set up DD. Jolly fails to ohko me while I outspeed Adamant. This guy removes fighting types mainly and destroys unwanted walls with Trick. Shadow Ball / Thunderbolt for good STAV moves to hit hard - Shadow Ball to hit opposing Rotom forms.

The Sweepers

@ Lum Berry
Jolly
EV: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed

-Dragon Dance
-Fire Punch
-Stone Edge
-Crunch

The forgotten threat DD Tyranitar. With Scizor looming around and rain dance all over. This guy is a must. Babiri Berry is no longer required which I had earlier. Lum Berry does the trick for those who decide to stay in and Will-O-Wisp or Thunder Wave. Obvious scenarios are Rotom formes staying in which gives me the golden oppurtunity to unleash another DD. I'm even more glad if Will-o-Wisp misses. Stone Edge + Crunch are staple STAB move to hit everything hard. Stone Edge makes up for my nature. Fire Punch hits unwanted steel types and Foretress in general.

@ Leftovers
Jolly
EV: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed

-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Bounce
-Earthquake

My other dragon dancer. Jolly is a must to outspeed Jolteon on suspect. Leftovers for suvability with Life Orb it is too easy to revenge kill. Waterfall + Bounce for STAb moves. Ice Fang is removed because Bounce paralysis and a chance to OHKO Celebi is a must. Earthquake instead of Stone Edge to finish off magnezone and Jirachi which fai lto be ko'd by Waterfall.

The Suspect

@ Leftovers
Timid
EV: 252 HP / 36 SpA / 220 Spe

-Substitute
-Signal Beam
-Tail Glow
-Surf

Well I understand now that Crophy is better but at the time being I used this. I wanted to try it out and it adds me another bulky water to my team and a chance to remove unwanted things that would commonly counter my DD pokemon. Things like Celebi, Ludicolo are my common switch ins who are a pain to handle for Gyarados and Tyranitar. Signal Beam catches them off guard and OHKO Celebi after Tail Glow and 2HKO Ludicolo depending on EV spread. Surf is my main STAB move to hit things not resisted. Also the EV's are designated to never be broken my Seismic Toss 101 Subs. I could beat standard Blissey with ease.

Conclusion:

I think I remember having problems with Kingdra so I might need help with that. Also point out some random mistakes please. Have a nice rate

Nice team. Good job.

Gengar can Give you tons of problems.

With life orb he can just come in, and pretty much KO everything you got. Cept Manaphy and Foretress. Both of them are 2HKO.

I don't know how common Gengar is on suspect but that is just something I noticed.

Maybe switching magnzone or rotom to naive or timid, respectively, could help.

 

[Celestial_Bliss]

Seems good to me! You should stay cautious of Magnezone threats though, your opponent could easily switch him in on the first round to set up sub (if they have it), take out Forretress, and deal damage to whoever you decided to switch in. And an Electivire switch in on a predicted TB from Rotom would cause major damage as well.
