Goukazaru
Lead Ape
Infernape
@ Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze
Evs: 64 Atk/ 204 SpA/ 240 Spe
Naive (+Spe -SpD)
-Fake Out
-Stealth Rock
-U-Turn
-Fire Blast
With this set I can use Fake out on the first turn flinching the opponent and rendering there Focus Sash/ Band useless if they have one. On the next turn i can set up stealth rock as the opponent probably does the same. Using the speed Evs and Nature i can then most likely outspeed the opponent and use U-turn to Switch out with full health and having damage the opponent significantly. If i am out speeded then i can survive with the Focus Sash then use U-turn to switch out. Fire blast also allows me to OHKO any ninjask lead before they sub & BP Later in the Battle if i still have full health i can wreak havoc with STAB fireblast and if i am damage my focus sash will allow me to hang on long enough to fire (pun very much inteneded) of at least one Fireblast assuming i outspeed my opponent (as i probably will).
Hassamu
Bulky Physical Sweeper/ Screen Breaker
Scizor
@ life orb
Ability: Technician
Evs: 32 Hp/ 252 Atk/ 224 Spe
Adamant (+Atk -SpA)
-Sword Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Brick Break
-Quick Attack/ X-Scizzor
With this i can utilize Scizor's spe Evs to quickly set up swords dance then sweep with brick break, STAB & Technician boosted bullet punch (90 power) and technician boosted aerial ace. Due to bullet punches priority it will be my main move but i can use Brick Break to take down threats like tyranitar and to break screens that might other wise hinder my Sweeping. If necesary i can skip swords dance and revenge kill with bullet punch, brick break and aerial ace. Im currently testing my scizor to detemine weither to use X- scizzor or Quick Attack.
Rugaji
Pysical Wall/ Physical Sweeper/ Phazer
Swampert
@ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
Evs: 252 Hp/ 252 def/ 4 SpA
Relaxed (+Def -Spe)
-Hydro Pump
-Earthquake
-Roar
-Ice Beam
With this set i can start sweeping with STAB Hydro Pump & Earthquake and also with ice beam as soon as i switch in. Swamperts gona be my pysical wall. Swamperts also going to be used to take down dragons with ice beam With Roar i can put an end to BPers. Leftovers will add to my natural bulkyness and keep me alive even longer
Boomanda
Choice Band
Salamence
@choice Band
Ability: Intimidate
Evs: 4 Hp/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spe
Jolly (+Spe -SpA)
-Fire Blast
-Outrage
-Aerial Ace
-Stone Edge
This salamence is meant to catch opponents suspecting a mix-mence of guard and wreck havoc. Outrage is my STAB move that can do considerable damage to just about any pokemon. Fire Blast is to stop Bronzong and Skarmory, which cannot always be done my infenape (cause hes usualy dead). Stone Edge is my best weapon against qyarados that would otherwise lay waste to most of my team. Aerial Ace is for some much needed coverage against fighting types and ludicolo that usualy inhilate my team.
Enperuto
Mixed Wall/ Special Sweeper
Empoleon
@Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
Evs: 252 Hp/ 160 Def/ 94 SpD/ 4 Spe
Calm (+SpD -Atk)
-Surf
-Grass Knot
-Ice Beam
-Yawn
With this set i can utilize Empoleon's 12 resistances and higher def and SpD stats to effectivly wall a multitude of pokemon. Surf, Grass Knot and Icebeam give me decent type coverage. If Yawn is used the pokemon will most likely switch. If the pokemon doesnt i can wreak havoc while it sleeps. Leftovers Allow me to stay alive even longer.
Gangar
Special Sweeper
Gengar
@ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Evs: 48 Atk/ 4 Def/ 204 SpA/ 252 Spe
Hasty (+Spe -Def)
-Shadow Ball
-Thunder Bolt
-Focus Blast
-Explosion
This set is designed to come in and instantly start sweeping. Shadow Ball gives me a good STAB move to wear down the opponent. Also Shadow Ball in conjuncture with Focus Blast gives Gengar Complete Type coverage. Focus Blast is used to stop and dark type that might try to pursuit me, It is also my best way to eliminate tyranitar. Thunder Bolt is useful against bulky waters my empoleons grass knot can't handle, In particular Suicune and put a hurt on pesky togekiss. Explosion is my Desperation move. I will use it only when my health falls below 25%. With life orb it might not be to long till it does hehe but life orb will still give me more power when i do go bang.
