Hello again. It is time for me to write about my new team. After building teams in the past I never quite got the Pokemon to fit. After reading over some teams on the RMT Archieve, while building a brand new team, I think I finally struck gold. This team is hovering around 1200 CRE, down to my own bad prediction. Hopefully, with a bit of help from you, I can push this team over the edge and get a hopefull 1400-1500+ CRE. But enough of my intro, lets get on with the show.

A few interesting facts:

4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive (+Spe -SpD)
Flash Fire
Earth Power
Fire Blast
Stealth Rock
Explosion
mtr12 suggested this lead, and I have loved it. Heatran is a pretty solid lead, getting me Stealth Rock either early game or even late-game. Fire Blast hits like a bus on things that don't resist it, and Expolsion is a nice bit of fun for those Blissey. Shuca Berry is there to better survive Ground, should I need to take one. Now lets talk about indevidual synergy. Heatran and Registeel work together well, Heatran abviously absorbs Fire attacks aimed at Registeel, while Registeel can paralyze them to a speed below Heatrans, were he can finish them off. Heatran and Latias has a bit of synergy, often, Latias will absorb a Earthquake aimed at Heatran, while Latias can then more often then not 1-2HKO the Pokemon, except if we are talking Mamoswine here. Heatran and Rotom-C have little synergy, relativly speaking, however, Heatran does draw in Blissey which Rotom-C can set up on. Heatran and Gyarados have about the same synergy as Heatran and Rotom-C. Heatran can take out a few of Infernapes counters, and can absorb Dragon type attacks quite well.

HG/SS did bring Registeel an interesting move, but I'll talk about that later. Registeel is my supportive wall, pretty much never being 1HKOd by an un-boosted move, and can also counter Latias till the cows come home. Thunder Wave is a fantastic supportive move, as no sweeper likes to lose it's speed. This Registeel has beaten out many Infernapes, just down to it's EV spread. while it is standerd, the Careful Nature garentee's a never get 1HKO'd by most-to-all special moves, and Ground and ice provide excellent coverage. Registeel can also function as a status absorber, as it is bulky enough to wait to wake up. Block is interesting, as some common switch ins to the 'Steel can easily be set up on by other members of my team. Block almost functions like Wobbofet's Shadow Tag, except Registeel lacks Encore. It does however allow me to set up a move on either my Gyarados or Rotom-C. It also forces the switch in to take a Thunder Wave. Registeel justs fits with the rest of the team by absorrbing pretty much everything aimed at it.

Trick
Latias is the glue that holds this team together, and my revenge killer. Modest makes Draco Metoer pretty damn powerful on anything that doesn't resist it, while the Scarf still allows me to outspeed Salamence after a +1. Usually, Registeel abosorbs other Latias, so that's no problem. Latias fits very well by KO'ing everything that threatens this team. Killing Infernape, Gyarados, non-scarf Gengar, Starmie, Rotom-H/W/F/C/S, Bulky Waters, Empoleon, Salamence, Dragonite, Latias, Heatran, and tohers is no small joke. It also lures out Blissey, which is were Trick/Gyarados comes in. Surf, Thunderbolt, and Draco Metoer hits everything in the metagame for at least nuetral damage. I'm considering switching Trick out with Ice Beam, as this provides me hitting Grass types one hell of a lot harder.

SubCharge Rotom-C is a beast. Beating Blissey one and one, and Bluky waters, is an incredible feat. Rotom-C is also an incredible bluff pokemon, letting me get Sub's up against Swamperts. As long as I have a Sub up, I have no fear of being revenge killed, as most of my moves are either 1 or two hit KO's on most Pokemon. Rotom-C's raw bulk also is incredible, usually surviving a Crunch from an unboosted Lucario even after Stealth Rock dmamge, OHKO'ing back with HP Fight. HP Fight and Ghost are ofcourse unresisted by any Pokemon, until they make a Ghost/Normal. Rotom-C can also absord quite a few attacks, such as Rapid Spin, and Fighting type move, Explosion, Ground type moves. Rotom-C gets a quite a few oppertunity to set up, as it can even set up on Pokemon like Blissey. Most if his counters can be beaten out by Registeel.

Perfect stat distrabution, with a perfect move pool. Inferape was gifted with incredible abilitys. Specially based Mixape just picks off everything and everything left at the end of a match. 196 Spe means that I outspeed other Mixapes who run 192. I run Flamethrower because missing a Fire Blast late game can lose you a match, and as far as I know, Fire Blast isn't netting you any special 1HKO's. HP Ice is the best part about it, all those Salamence who expect to come in and set-up get 1HKO'd. Same thing with Gliscors. Essentially, Infernape is an integral part of this team. All of Infernape's counters are covered by this team, so I have no fear of switching him out and bringing in a counter to it. Infernape is also my only Swampert counter.

A few interesting facts:
- Only 1 of my Pokemon is weak to Stealth Rock, 4 take neutral, and 1 resist
- 3 Pokemon are weak to Spikes, and 3 are immune
- Only 1 Pokemon is affected by T-Spikes, and the other 5 resist.
- No Pokemon has a weakness that isn't covered.

The legend that is Bulky Gyarados. Taunt is the key piece of this set, stoping all those Pokemon that can't be 1HKO'd by Gyarados giving me a status. After a Dragon dance, Gyarados outspeeds any un-scarf Gengar and KO's with Waterfall. Gyarados also stops Heatran, Scizor, and others in their tracks. One advantage of running a Bulky set is the Leftovers recovery. This lets me sometimes sweep twice. Gyarados also draws out Skarmory, which is then stopped by Taunt. Torment Tran also gives this guy no problems, and Stone Edge KO's Salamences and other Gyarados, providing the damn thing doesn't miss at the crucial moment, as it likes too. Registeel, once again, switches into the counters of Gyarados, I'm fairly certain that by now you can see that Registeel stops a lot of threats taking out this team.

If you have found any mistakes, don't be afraid to point them out.

Thank you for reading this RMT. Hopefully, with a point in the right direction, I can actually get onto the LeaderBoard. Once again, please, rate my team.
