Team In Detail:
Empoleon @ Chople Berry
Torrent
Quiet
244 HP/20 Def/238 SpA/8 Spe
- Hydro Pump
- Grass Knot
- Aqua Jet
- Stealth Rock
Empoleon is going to be my lead and always gets rocks up or takes out at least 1 of the opponents pokemon before going down unless it is put to sleep by breloom or roserade. I have only been OHKO'ed twice, by metagross and by zapdos, which im pretty sure were running max atk and Sp. Atk respectively. the combination of Hydro Pump and aqua jet can take out all leads that commonly run with focus sash, Grass Knot OHKOs swampert and does good damage to others that are weak to it, Hydro Pump's STAB also helps out against the likes of metagross and bronzong.
Latias @ Life Orb
Levitate
Timid
4 Def/252 SpA/252 Spe
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Recover
Latias is going to be my special sweeper, recover so i can recover from the life orb hits, draco meteor does significant damage to those that dont resist it, unfortunately still wont do too much to the special walls in Blissey and Snorlax. Surf is for the likes of Heatran, Tyranitar and others, while Thunderbolt hits the bulky waters hard as well as OHKOing Gyarados.
Porygon2 @ Leftovers
Trace
Bold
252 HP/ 216 Def/40 SpA
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Toxic
This thing is the ultimate Gyarados and Salamence counter, it can survive their attacks then OHKO them with thunderbolt and ice beam respectively, as an added bonus the boltbeam combo provides great coverage against other types as well. Porygon2 can also render Scarfed Heatran useless with Trace, as they will be forced to switch it out. Toxic is for status damage so if i can get it in early the better effect.
Rotom-h @ Leftovers
Levitate
Bold
HP 252/Def 168/Spe 88
- Overheat
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Will-O-Wisp
Rotom is my fairly decent wall and rapid spin/explosion blocker, Will-O-Wisp give the opponent an attack drop while also crippling them each turn, Overheat takes care of the common Steal types like Scizor, Lucario, Metagross, Jirachi and Bronzong. Thunderbolt deals with Gyarados and helps against other water types. Shadow Ball provides a good STAB and does decent damage to anything that doesnt resist it, good against Starmie, Azelf, Gengar and others.
Scizor @ Choice Band
Technician
Adamant
248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spe
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit
- U-Turn
Scizor is going to be my revenge killer, with its really high attack, bullet punch can do sizable damage to most pokemon, Superpower is for the likes of tyranitar and heatran, U-turn can do good damage to grass and psychic types as well as help scout, pursuit if i detect a switch but also does good damage to psychic and ghosts.
Lucario @ Life Orb
Inner Focus
Adamant
252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Extremespeed
- Crunch
Lucario is going to be my end of game sweeper, once it gets a swords dance off there isnt much it cant take down, Extremespeed is for priority, Close Combat has STAB and will deal huge damage to anything that does not resist it, Crunch is to cover against Psychics and Ghosts.
all feedback is welcome, thank you for taking the time to read and help
