Team Successful. So far.

BigEricShun

Hello people! This is my first RMT post, and first post altogether. This is a team that I made recently that I have had so much success with. (However I haven't played with it too much.) My record with it would probably be something like 8-1. Anyways, I'm hoping by posting it here I can make it even better, and also give others some ideas :).

Let's get started.

ROSERADE LEAD
@Focus Sash Timid
252Spa 252Spe 4Hp
Moves: [Toxic Spikes/Spikes] [Leaf Storm] [HP Ice] [Sleep Powder/Stun Spore]
This is the first time I've used a Roserade lead and so far I love it. It's Spa is godly, scoring kills easily. I swapped Hp Fire with Hp Ice because I do not care about skarm/forretress/scizor, as I have a magnezone. So spikes is illegal with sleep powder. Thanks Flameheart.

How I deal with the recent top 10 leads.

Azelf: Usually leaf storm on the taunt, and finish it off with an Hp as it sets up rocks. I still have sash so I sleep the next poke that comes in and proceed to set up t/r spikes.
Aerodactyl: Hp Ice on the taunt, finish it off with another as it sets up rocks. I still have sash so I sleep the next poke that comes in and proceed to set up t/r spikes.
Swampert: Leaf Storm straight away I don't want to deal with it.
Machamp: Usually Switch to appropriate pokemon.
Metagross: Switch to appropriate pokemon, or sleep if I feel it's occa.
Jirachi: Let's just say I'm not smiling when my opponent leads with a rachi. Usually switch to magnezone to take the trick.
Infernape: Switch to Dusknoir. (Packs EQ and Shadow Sneak).
Ninjask: Set up t/r spikes on the protect, and sleep powder next.
Roserade: Try for speed tie and sleep.
Hippowdon: Sleep the switch.

SCARFZONE
@Choice Scarf Naive
252Spa 252Spe 4Att
Moves: [Thunderbolt] [Flash Cannon] [HP Fire] [Explosion]
Magnezone is a very useful pokemon, even if your opponent doesn't have a steel to prey on. With him on my team, not only can I absorb toxics aimed at my Dusknoir or Vaporeon, but I don't have to worry about Scizor, Forretress, or Skarmory (and sometimes a tricking Jirachi.) Although his attack stat is nothing to celebrate about, Explosion can still do a dent to a lot of things, especially the likes of Blissey.

DAMAGING TANK DUSKNOIR
@Leftovers Sassy
252Hp 28Att 228Def
Moves: [Thunderpunch] [Shadow Sneak] [Earthquake] [Pain Split]
Before bashing me about not have W.o.W I cannot count how many times I've EQd OHKO an incomming Heatran predicting a W.o.W. I always tell people.. Why do you need W.o.W when people think you have it. Plus if I'm using t-spikes things will be poisoned anyways. I think the 4 moves I have are really great as I can counter things like Infernape, and Gyarados, and revenge kill other things like Rotom-A, and Gengar.

LO MAMOSWINE
@Life Orb Adamant
252Att 252Spe 4Hp
Moves: [Ice Shard] [Earthquake] [Stone Edge] [Superpower]
This thing is great for annihilating dragons and other ice weak pokemon, with a powerful stab priority in Ice shard. Not to mention the strongest Earthquake in OU. It counters blissey well, but with Salamence recently going Uber, could I afford to drop this guy in order to remedy my fire weakness in this team?

STANDARD VAPOREON/INSERT BULKY WATER HERE
@Leftovers Bold
188Hp 252Def 68Spe
Moves: [Wish] [Protect] [Surf] [HP Electric]
Standard wish support vaporeon. You all know what it does. I am up for options on another bulky water. I've been thinking about Slowbro/Slowking for t-wave, in order to make the sweep of my Togekiss easier, and swapping scarf with specs on Togekiss, giving it amazing power. I feel like Slowking is overall better than Slowbro (for a speical wall), but I could use opinions. If I do this I will need to replace my toxic spikes with regular spikes or a different lead overall. Looking for opinions on other bulky waters. Trying Swampert

SCARFKISS
@Choice Scarf Timid
252Spa 252Spe 4Hp
Moves: [Air Slash] [Aura Sphere] [Flamethrower] [Trick]
Love this thing. Just a great game finisher to sweep up the mess and grab the win. Great coverage with the moves I have, and a stunning 125 base Spa stat to back it up. Not to mention some natural bulk to take hits. Trick is great to stop stallers and such, namely Cress, which is a major threat to my team.

Theres the team, please respond with useful or nice things :)

Threat list [1- Not too easy not too hard. 2-Not happy to see it. 3-Fuck.]
Heatran 1
Electivire 1
Empoleon 1
Gyarados 1
Zapdos 1
Rotom-A 1.25
Swampert 1.5 (But only if Roserade isn't available)
Gengar 1.5
Breloom 1.5
Lucario 1.5
Metagross 1.5
Umbreon 1.5
Jirachi 2
Cresselia 3 (Only if it was able to avoid Togekiss' trick)
Jolteon 2

So now... What do you guys think about what I was talking about the bulky water thing. Also, Mamoswine in or out?

Thank you for reading, and I hope my first RMT was good :)
 
-Hey there.

*Spikes is illegal with Sleep Powder. So keep Toxic Spikes.

*You also lack Stealth Rock, which I've found standerd for your team, since you want a replacment for Vaporeon, I suggest trying Swampert over it.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Relaxed, Torrent
EV: 252 HP, 4 Att, 252 Def
Stealth Rock
Earthquake
Ice Beam
Roar/Protect

It gives you SR, and phazing if you chose Roar. Protect gives you toxic stall+leftovers recovery.

-I don't see any other large problems. Nice team. Congrats on finding use for a Dusknoir.
 
If you use Swampert, you'll be left without wish support. If you do get rid of Mamo because of the fire weakness, i like Gardevoir. Gardevoirs Trace ability is great to use against the many Flash Fire, fire types. Or you can switch into an intimidate user and use your own, the possibilities are endless :D. She can be your new wish passer, special wall, lots of things. But you might find a better use for your team in a different poke, but she is one to consider.

I know Magnezone doesnt have much of an appealing movepool, but flash cannon doesnt hit very much. You may be able to find something better. Also i dont know how much speed he has, but you may be able to move some evs from speed to att, for an even bigger explosion.

Hope i helped a bit.
 
Since you might be looking into dropping Mamoswine, you could opt for Choice band Flygon or Scrafgon. Both types would be really good for the team in terms of typing and the use of U-turn. The only immediate weaknesses I can see in that though are ice types and having three choiced pokemon on your team. Though U-turn can make it easier to switch, three choiced pokemon are not the best for any team.

Also CB Flygon can hit just has hard as Flygon with a stab EQ and Flygon itself scares away many opponents. Not to mention it is a good to go up against scarfrachi that loves to trick. Just thought I would throw that idea out there for you.
