So, about a year ago, this team was top 5. It dominated opponents and made 20-0 streaks possible(reference to Justinawe, lol). This team overwhelmed the DP/Garchomp era, and now it must conquer the Platinum changes.
Team "offense!"
Gyarados @ Lum Berry
Adamant
252 Attack 252 Speed 6 Defense
-Dragon Dance
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Waterfall
My lead. When this guy comes out, it is an automatic Dragon Dance or an automatic switch. Lum Berry for Bronzong as it gives atleast 1-2 Dragon Dances. After one Dragon Dance, Waterfall 2HKO's standard Zong and pretty much everything else except the bulky waters.
Infernape @ Choice Scarf
Hasty
48 Attack 208 Speed 252 Special Attack
-Close Combat
-Hidden Power Ice 70
-Grass Knot
-Flamethrower
This was in the team specifically for Garchomp. And it took out every single Scarf Chomp it faced. But the Yache's and then the ban brought this former beast to picking out flies such as Skymin and Yanmega.
Tyranitar @ Choice Scarf
Hasty
252 Attack 248 Speed 8 Special Attack
-Flamethrower
-Crunch
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
My pride and joy. I do wish that I was the first to create this, but I was not. I take happiness in the fact that I was one of the first to though. Running speed at 363 outspeeds base 115's. Gengar, Azelf, and Starmie fall to Crunch after failing to see the surprise. Flamethrower was for those Forretress back when they actually had a purpose.
Dugtrio @ Choice Band
Jolly
252 Attack 252 Speed 6 HP
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Night Slash
-Sucker Punch
Original form was the Blissey killer, but then it became the Deoxys-S killer. Not much to say here. Took out one Pokemon every match.
Gengar @ Life Orb
Hasty
128 Attack 252 Speed 128 Special Attack
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball
-Explosion
-Hypnosis
Use of Gengar has fallen due to the Hypnosis accuracy drop. This exploded most of the time, whether it be on a Blissey or another Pokemon. Gengar explodes right after Metagross does to piss off the opponent.
Metagross @ Choice Band
Adamant
252 Attack 252 Speed 6 Defense
-Meteor Mash
-Bullet Punch
-Explosion
-Pursuit
Took out the bulky waters for me and anything else that couldn't take an Explosion. Picks off weak Pokemon or Pokemon I can't outspeed.
That's my team. I know there is four choice items. Feel free to make any necessary changes.
