Team Salute Me Vol. 1

[Famine]

.....Salute Me....


At A Glance:

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 80 HP/178 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Trick
- Iron Head
- Stealth Rock
- Thunderpunch
---

I wanted this pokemon to be a revenge killer, but this way he usually gets in and out of the game After putting down some rocks, and keeps the Scarf, which will really help me later, or I flinch out something annoying like Azelf, or Aero. Thunderpunch is there for a revenge kill of Gyarados after 1 DD, i really want this move to change but i don't know what's better.

Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
---
As you can see, I'm Really Latias Weak, and i wanted somebody who also could knock out pokemon that could stop Salamence like Rotom, Ghosts, And What not, So I added this Instantly. You may wander why i didn't really add any speed...it's because honestly tyranitar is not outspeeding anybody with those EVS but Skarmory, which i already have a counter for, and with that Spread he will live through a CB U-Turn.

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 HP/252 Atk/68 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- Surf
- Protect
- Hidden Power [Electric]
---

With this pokemon I wanted something that could counter Gyarados and Spin, so this was orgionally starmie, but then i upgraded. Vaporeon can pass wishes to Any pokemon which is better then a Rapid Spin, it can protect out and scout a bit, and Also counter Mix Ape which can easily also rip through 5/6 of this team.

Rotom-h @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/168 Def/88 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Will-o-wisp
- Overheat
- Light Screen
---

Rotom-H is my counter for everything Physical From Salamence down to Scizor/Lucario. Wisping Really stops them cold which i can set up on and what not later. I chose thunderbolt over Discharge because i'm not a (BAN ME PLEASE) and i want KOs, Lol, Also anything that can kill Rotom i will switch out of, Thunderbolt will Net these KOs and Residual damage and Discharge is just plain trash to me.

Salamence (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 232 Atk/252 Spd/26 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Fire Blast
---
This team is built around Salamence, and He ususally doesn't see the Game. But when he does he manages to Create Havok as he should, With 1 DD i usually manage to start sweeping people, And I try to always make sure i have Killed Scizor.

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 66 Atk/192 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Close Combat
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Vacuum Wave
- Fire Blast
---

This is the Clean up Man, He makes sure i have the game broke down to a point, i want a better move set but to keep the priority move at the same time which will allow me to revenge heatrans and what not. Vaccum will do 50% to a heatran, and clean up any DD tyranitar which is something my teams have always had a problem with. In Addition to bieng the Clean up man, Infernape also opens up the Game for me, which is why i kinda want a better set.

Hi.

With a Vaporeon on the team, Thunderpunch is more or less useless on Jirachi. The best all-round choice for a replacement would be U-turn so that you can scout out switches and get the momentum in your favour.
However, seeing as your team is currently fairly Lucario weak (OHKOs everything except Mence, which is taking 60.42% - 71.30% from a +1 LO Extremespeed), Fire Punch would be a decent option, letting you OHKO a Lucario that's already used Close Combat, or do around 70% or so otherwise. While you do have Vacuum Wave on Infernape, which helps out a bit, it's always nice to have a safer/backup answer to Lucario.

Tyranitar should probably stick with the Speed EVs despite you already having a Skarmory counter - even if you don't want to be relying on Tyranitar to take Skarmory out, being able to 2HKO a Skarmory that switches in on your Stone Edge 64% of the time rather than 0% of the time is incredibly useful, especially as Skarmory is one of those pokemon that you want to take out as soon as possible, as Spikes are going to make this team collapse pretty quickly, even if it does have Wish support.
Another anti-stall change that I'd go with would be Aqua Tail over Earthquake, whenever I use a CBTar I find that I barely ever use the 4th move anyway, but Aqua Tail is generally the more reliable attack (Choiced EQ is risky), and it allows you to 2HKO Hippowdon, which is going to give you a lot of trouble otherwise.

You should definately be using Shadow Ball over Light Screen on Rotom, as the improved coverage really helps in checking threats properly like Rotom is supposed to, as well as preventing Rotom from becoming setup fodder for some pokemon. It doesn't look like a random 5-turn Light Screen is going to do you much good really, when you already have Vaporeon, Tyranitar and Jirachi to cover special hits along with Rotom, so there's really no reason not to use Shadow Ball.

Infernape should use Grass Knot over HP Ice if you're dropping the 4th move for Vacuum Wave, as it provides much better coverage, and gives you a better way of dealing with bulky waters, Swampert in particular. HP Ice doesn't really hit many significant pokemon apart from Salamence, Flygon and Dragonite, all of which you have covered nicely with Jirachi.

Apart from the moveset tweaks, everything looks ok. Good luck!
