Ok guys and gals, i havent been around for awhile, but with the release of the new games my interest peaked. :) so of course i hopped on to old smogon and messed around. but as i played on shoddy i found some odd things.. the metagame seemed to be shifting towards a bulkier/stallish kinda of play with one or two offensive threats on a team(at least thats what i encountered). Which is how i used to play, but in the idea of doing something different than my usual self i went with a relatively offensive team, and its based of off super-speedy sweepers that boost as you switch. anyhows here it is :) thanks for Rating!!
A Quick Look:
Apollyon(the emperor of demons)
Modest @ Focus Sash
156 HP/ 100 SPE/ 252 SPA
Hydro Pump
Aqua Jet
Grass Knot
Stealth Rock
Purpose:
Set-up stealth rock, while destroying opposing leads. perhaps even keeping them from setting up stealth rock.
Overview:
Absolute DEMON!! Has literally started game 4-0 while getting SR up. :) Usually gets SR up. and bulky enough to come around late game. (and a bonus.. His emperor status gave him a cool demon name)
Synergy:
Electric, Jolteon
Ground, Zapdos/ Aerodactyl
Fighting, Zapdos
Asmodeus(demon of wrath)
Jolly @ Lum Berry
40 HP/ 252 ATK/ 216 SPE
Swords Dance
Ice Shard
Low Kick
Night Slash
Purpose:
To fake a choice set early. Keep all the dragons in check. And hopefully grab a SD and proceed to sweep without mercy.
Overview:
Weavile definitely earns her name as the Demon of Wrath. She capitalizes on my opponents mistakes and then unleashes her wrath in a quick sweep. I went with the Lum Berry over Life Orb because it helps me fake a choice band, and it allows me to set-up against status users(blissey, breloom, togekiss if its the paraflincher. and others) I do miss the extra damage output though.
Synergy:
Fighting, Zapdos
Eurynome(demon who feeds on corpses)
Timid @ Life Orb
252 SPA/ 252 SPE/ 4 DEF
Shadow Ball
HP Grass
T-Bolt
Charge Beam
Purpose:
Forms the second part of the Sweeping core of the team. Destroys all swamperts/ mamoswines with ease. Can run through entire teams who don't have dedicated SP. Walls like blissey. Who is perfect set-up for Weavile.
Overview:
Nicknamed Eurynome for his innate ability to kill weakened foes with Charge Beam and grabbing a +1 boost. I chose to run HP Grass so I could defeat swamperts as they think themselves a counter to Jolteon! ha! And i'm not worried about dragons as i have two Ice users. I could honestly rave for days about this little amped-up fox, nabbing free health and SPA boosts, but i digress :)
Synergy:
Ground, Zapdos/Aerodactyl
Leviathan(Dragon Demon of the Abyss)
Jolly @ Choice Band
252 ATK/ 252 SPE/ 4 HP
EQ
Stone Edge
Aqua Tail
Fire Fang
Purpose:
Adds to the Speed of the team, while giving me a pretty reliable Revenge Killer. Can be sacrificed to help kill someone troublesome.
Overview:
Such a Demon to battle against if I can predict right XD
Synergy:
Ice, Bronzong
Electric, Jolteon
Botis(Demon who proclaims future)
Bold @ Leftovers
248 HP/ 228 DEF/ 32 SPE
HP Ice
T-Bolt
Roost
Roar
Purpose:
Main protection against Baton Pass teams, he gets this nickname cause he usually shuffles the opponents team up for a good while to frustrate them, while also giving me a peek into the future so I know who will be switched into each of my sweepers! aiding my rather par prediction skills! XD
Overview:
Really a key part of this team. keeping threats in check, and allowing me to phase away stat-ups i'm afraid of(curselax!) and loaning me a peak into the opponents team.
Charon(demon who ferries people across the river Styx)
Sassy @ Leftovers
252 HP/ 86 ATK/ 172 SPD
Ability: HEATPROOF!
Gyro Ball
Explosion
Hypnosis
EarthQuake
Purpose:
To absorb Special Atks! Thats why i choose Heatproof. I already have two mons who have free switchins to Ground Atks. And I needed a SP. Wall who could put a threat out of commision(Hypnosis) or blow up a check to one of my sweepers allowing me to sweep(Explosion)
Overview:
I feel like he works very well for his purpose, but sometimes feels like deadweight on the team. Open to suggestions for replacement here! Oh and his name comes from the fact that he usually sleeps or explodes the opponents last counter, therefore taking them into Hades :)
Well thats it! Open to all suggestions! Thanks for the Rate :)
