Swift Death shall come to you...

[DC-Shadow_Blaze]

Unless you rate this team :O

This is the latest offencive team I helped cook up with a friend of mine...I think its pretty effective if I do say so myself!

So onward to the members:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Blazer @ shuca berry
Naive nature
252 SpATk/224 Spd/32 Atk
-Fire Blast
-Earth power
-Stealth Rock
-Explosion

My lead and special sweeper, surprises most leads that have EQ with shuca berry allowing me to get a semi-free SR in there, and hell I can even pull an early game sweep out my ass with this if the stars align...the rest of the moves explain themself, Explosion for Bliss and when I feel like killing a spinner that is slower than me, Tenta mostly

OU fo Sho @ Life orb
Hasty nature
200 Atk/252 Spd/56 SpATk
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast
-Stone edge
-Draco meteor/Outrage

First mixed sweeper in the team, can put a few dents in walls etc...not much else to say...

ShroomShinobi @ Choice Scarf
jolly nature
252 Atk/228 Spd/30 Hp
-Seeb Bomb
-Spore
-Brick break
-Stone edge

Chocie sweeper and MVP of the team, has saved me on several occasions. Its EVs get it to 384 speed, allowing it to outspeed unsuspecting Weavile getting me a shocked opponet and 1 less threat, when I come accross somthing I cant take out I spore it and get a rather safe switch into somthing that can do somthing in this situation.

True Blood @ Life Orb
Adamant nature
252 Atk/212 Spd/40 HP
-Bullet punch
-Brick break
-X scissor
-Swords dance

Your everyday BP scizor...you know what it does, I'll move on

Rapist @ Life orb
Naive nature
232 SpATk/252 Spd/24 atk
-Close combat
-Flamethrower
-HP ice
-Thunderpunch

Standard mixape, pwnage in the DP metagame, pwnage in platinum, I chose to run a t punching varient to give gyra and tenta somthing to think about before the switch in, I basicly run a bluff with pert to coax a switch, HP ice for mence and whatnot,

Murderface @ Life orb/leftovers
Adamant nature
252 Atk/160 HP/98 Spd
-Waterfall
-Dragon Dance
-Bounce
-Taunt

I have to admit, This is novelty, I was low on inspiration so I threw in this, BounceGyra maybe abit novelty but it works well...I can easily change this if needed xD

Thank you so much for checking out my offencive team! Happy Rating!

This team looks pretty nice. The only thing I'd suggest is Substitute > Taunt on Gyarados, as well as using Leichi berry instead of lefties/LO

 

[DC-Shadow_Blaze]

Thanks, I'll give that some thought, though its my only taunter on the team and I've run into a few batton pass teams since this team's creation and taunt on gyra has saved me alot...

Hi! lets get rating!

On first glance over your team it seemed that you have a fairly large Dragon Dance Gyarados weakness. He will OHKO-2HKO most of your team with little effort. He outspeeds your Choice Scarf Breloom and hurts it bad with Earthquake/Waterfall. So my suggestion is to remove Breloom from your team entirely, and replace it with Jirachi. Jirachi, being a base 100 pokemon, can outspeed many threats with Choice Scarf, most important are, Gyarados and Salamence. She can OHKO them both with Thunder Punch and Ice Punch, and she provides cover through your team via flinch "h4x" through Iron Head and Zen Headbut.

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Jolly Nature
252 Atk / 180 Spe / 76 HP
- Iron Head
- Zen Headbut
- Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch

This set is superior to your Breloom set in a few ways. The biggest reason is that she can counter stat up sweepers like Gyarados and Salamence with ease. She counter fightings, and posions extremely well with Zen Headbut, and Iron Head makes rock types, and ice types easy to hit. She is better to your Breloom as, if you switch in your Breloom to sleep a pokemon, you have to switch out right away as a second spore will not help you. With Jirachi she provides an instant threat, and provides suport through Serene Grace, which makes it easy for her to turn the tide of a battle. This helps your Gyarados in the end of sweeping teams as he now won't have to worry about another Gyarados or Salamence coming in to Intimidate his attack down, potentially ending your sweep

The other suggestion is to give Gyarados Stone Edge over Bounce. Bounce may provide STAB, but you're not going to hit anything Super Effective with it, and you're not really going to hurt Celebi with it (assuming she's the pokemon you're aiming to hit). Bounce takes two turns to execute. On the first turn you Bounce and Celebi comes in. Celebi, not wanting to get OHKO'd switches out to a pokemon that resists Bounce and then comes in later to Thunder-Wave Gyarados. Instead of wasting time with Bounce, I'd suggest Stone Edge. Gyarados will not get past a Celebi no matter what, so getting past a Salamence, Gyarados or Zapdos seems way more appealing than MAYBE, getting the OHKO on a Celebi. Life Orb is the prefered hold item for Gyarados as he needs it to OHKO Salamence/Gyarados switch in's with Stone Edge. Taunt is generally a poor option on Gyarados since most people prefer the option of hitting steel types with Earthquake over maybe making Gyarados a bit safer to status. You can see a Thunder Wave or Will-o-Wisp coming form a mile away, allowing you to switch out. With Earthquake, it also lets you have a higher chance of an late game sweep since you'll be hitting everything for at least neutral damage.

Other than that good team.

Hope I helped,

Thanks so much for the rate Gen! I hate to be stubborn but Breloom has grown on me though using it, I might add that rachi in my next draft though! thanks! and I'll put Stone edge on gyra, I'll keep it's taunt though, as mentioned in my previous post it has saved me from batton pass chains as well as cripplers
