Team Teenis Weenis, Little cup RMT

[(makeup)]

Hi this is my first RMT so please don't be too mean :D This team has a score of 11-0 Changes in RED.



Chimchar @ Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze
Hasty 4 HP 132 Atk 4 Def 188 Spe 132 SpA 4 SpD
~ Fake Out
~ Counter
~ Stealth Rock
~ Overheat
Fake Out is self explanitory, and Focus Sash lets it always get the job done with SR. Counter also works well with Sash and can be used if SR is already on the field. Sash also complements its last move, Overheat, by activating Blaze. Overheat with Blaze melts anything that does not resist it, and then some.



Wailmer @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Water Veil
Rash 116 HP 196 Spe 196 SpA
~ Water Spout
~ Ice Beam
~ Hidden Power Electric
~ Selfdestruct / Surf
Choice Scarf + Water Spout = Pwnage. HP Electric is for Water types, notabaly Mantyke. Wailmer has no potential when SR is up so Selfdestrust is the best attack then. Wailmer really has no problem with anything except Chinchou, which absorbs HP and resists the other moves.



Teddiursa @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Quick Feet
Adamant 196 Atk 116 Def 196 Spe
~ Facade
~ Close Combat
~ Fire Punch / Protect
~ Shadow Claw
Teddiursa has amazing coverage and speed after Toxic Orb. Facade will dent everything that isn't imune, in which Shadow Claw OHKOs. Teddiursa has every single bit of potentail it needs. I mainly switch it out to revenge kill before Toxic Orb is activated to activate it, but it can also come in on ghost attacks and hit back with Shadow Claw. If you can find the time to activate Toxic Orb, its be worth your while. I replaced Fire Punch with Protect to safly activate Toxic Orb, while keeping an amazingly strong STAB and fighting/ghost coverage.




Machop @ Leftovers
Ability: Guts / No Guard
Adamant 196 HP 196 Atk 78 Spe
~ Rest
~ Sleep Talk
~ Cross Chop / Facade / DynamicPunch
~ Payback
Status absorbing Machop. I chose Guts over DynamicPunch because the attack boost is more usefull than the loss of confusion. When factoring in STAB and status, Cross Chop will have a power of 150 and Facade will follow closely with 140. I use Cross Chop, but if you prefer accuracy over that small power boost and higher critical hit ratio, facade is your poison. I opend my mind to DynamicPunch and it was a better choice. No Guard goes with out saying when using DynamicPunch.



Paras @ Oran Berry
Ability: Dry Skin
Impish 236 HP 116 Atk 156 Def
~ Spore
~ Seed Bomb
~ Bug Bite
~ Synthesis
OH MY GOD I WORSHIP THIS LITTLE LV.5 PARAS!! This set may look kinda flabby at first, but it saved me from my first potenital loss. It was looking like a total fail for me, until paras started to shine. This paras killed a Houndour, Bronzor, Croagunk, Chinchou, and Ekanks without a scratch on it. It also turned a 1-4 to a 1-0. Bug Bite anything that doesn't have leftovers or lifeorb, unless you know the item. when in doubt, use spore. Seed Bomb is a powerfull STAB that threatens many pokemon who dont resist it. Unless its your last pokemon, dont fight fire pokemon with it like I did lol. also don't synthesise unless your opponent is asleep.

Dratini @ Life Orb
Ability: Shed Skin
Adamant 28 HP 224 Atk 36 SpD 196 Spe
~ Dragon Dance
~ Outrage
~ Waterfall
~ Extremespeed
My second and only smogon set. I switch in on something that it resists, DD, and procede to win. Just like it's "OU Clone" Gyarados, it can Check Mate after 2 DD's. Extremespeed pwns other priority moves after a DD or two and the rest are for coverage. Don't use outrage on something that resists it, because you can't switch after. Even thought Shed Skin stops status from stopping you, don't abuse it and DD because the LifeOrb damage together with status will bring you to your downfall.

Welcome to Smogon! This topic belongs in the Other Teams forum and how do you have so many EV's on Chimchar?

 

[Banryu]

Wrong category for this; should be in the 'Other Teams' subforum.

But I love little cup, so I'll rate anyway. :D

I don't particularly recommend Counter on Chimp leads, Hidden Power Grass is a better choice for dealing with Kabuto and Omanyte, the latter of which Counter will be useless against otherwise.

On Paras, Stun Spore or Agility is a better option over Synthesis; reliable recovery moves are usually forgone unless they're on someone extremely sturdy and Paras, while relatively bulky by LC standards, doesn't get the best use out of it. Oran should be enough recovery for you there.

Water Spout is great on Wailmer, but it wants Surf somewhere on that set too. :0 I'd say replace selfdestruct or HP 'lectric, since either of those can be used to deal with Mantyke.

No Guard Machop is basically supieror in every way to Guts Machop, and can run a Sleep Talk set just as effectively. If you want a Guts user, Taillow is probably your best bet, although Makuhita might work decently as well, it also being a fighting-type.

Teddiursa wants Protect to activate Toxic Orb-Quick Feet, or Swords Dance to give you the boost in power. Doesn't Teddiursa also get a Dark-type move or something? I'd say that over Shadow Claw if it has one accessible; Fire Punch is probably the expendable option here.

Dratini... all I have to say about it is that it's closer to Salamence or Dragonite than Gyarados, unless you're looking at body shape, olol.

Paras can rely on synthesis when my opponent is asleep. Il try surf on wailmer :). Ive never considered HP Grass on Chimchar, il try that too :D. I don't understand how No Guard is better. DynamicPunch and Cross Chop have the same base power O_o.
Lol well I compared Dratini to Gyarados because mence and night rely on outrage, where you can switch in on with heatran and pwn with WoW, but that doesnt matter xD.
I did put it in the wrong place a reposted it in the "other" section too lol
Altros: Chimchar has 464/510 evs, the most that will give it stat points. Whats not to understand? If you aren't familiar with little cup evs google "little cup ev guide" theres a smogon page for it :)
THANKS YOU RATING! =]

Gud, gud.

I don't understand how No Guard is better. DynamicPunch and Cross Chop have the same base power O_o.

Base power =/= overall superiority in any way. If BP was the only deciding factor, Hyper Beam and stuffs would be a lot more common. Dynamicpunch is a superior move to Cross Chop in every way because it not only has 100% accuracy with No Guard, but 100% chance of confusion as well, which is extremely helpful. That means you can also give your Machop Life Orb, which causes less recoil damage than Flame Orb.

Lol well I compared Dratini to Gyarados because mence and night rely on outrage, where you can switch in on with heatran and pwn with WoW, but that doesnt matter xD.

Oh I'm sorry, for some strange reason I thought Dratini relies on Outrage as well. >.> Incidentally, the LC and OU metagames are so different that you shouldn't really be trying to compare LCers to standard OU battlers. Only very few things play similarly in LC and OU, and Machop happens to be one of them, coincidentally.

 

[(makeup)]

xD it does O_o ok now im confused il just say its a dragon type lol. I actually used leftovers on my machop because it is a status ABSORBER. I guess I can try both sets and use whichever is working out better. I see what you mean with DynamicPunch too.

 

[Hamme Van]

You do not need two status absorbers in the forms of Teddiursa and Machop, I recommend giving Teddiursa a Choice Band so you have another threat that does not take residual damage or needs to set up. But overall good LC team i like the Paras and the unexpected Machop set.

 

[RosebloomNixie]

What the hell do you do about gligar?
Also Scarf NoGuard Machop is by far the best set it can run.
Also your team needs more priority.
I would replace teddiursa with something like Fake Out/Vacuum Wave/Sucker Punch/Bullet Punch Croagunk.
Or even revenge Seel. [/Promoting my own set]

Teddiursa isnt a status absorber its a quick feet sweeper lol it doesnt take sleep or paralises (even thought quick feet gets rid of the speed loss) Ive actually used choice scarf machop before on this team. It is a better set but it does not support the team, as this team hates status. Wailmer outspeeds gligar with scarf and nets a OHKO with ice beam. Dratini also OHKOs with waterfall after one DD. Gligar is easily taken down with Counter and Blazed Overheat from Chimchar. Its not only easy to kill, but it cant touch this team, as it doesnt hit super effective damage on anything unless its the rare ariel ace gligar. That seal set looks interesting lol and Il consider a priority user. Thank for rating! ;]
