Intro:
Hello Smogon Community! This is my first RMT I have ever done on these forums! The Reason I made this team is to show that being unique, original, not Deoxys-S spamming, and just unextpectedness is 100% okay in Hackmons. Most teams I have played include 6 Deoxys-S's that are Choice scarfed with Sheer Cold, or some noob who is using a charizard with Blast Burn and Choice Specs. Plus, I always wanted to play with any weather-inducer I wanted to use beside Politoed (Wrath>Toad any day imo), Ninetales (Dogs>Cats), and Tyranitar, who always annoys me. I do however love abomasnow. In another two weeks I will be posting my Hail Hackmon RMT! So without more introduction, let's get to Team Vertality!
Teambuilding:
It started with one of my all time faves, held back because of Defeatist. I replaced it with sand Stream to get my auto-inducer.
Yes, I know, I used Latios twice. But I have my reasons, 1. They both share a move so I can use both of them without the opponent knowing. 2. Once revealed, they wont know which is which I and I can play ind games! 3. SOUL DEW!
Yes, Slaking is OU in Hackmon terms, but it gets the job done as a better ExtremeKiller Arceus to me.
Sturdy user, got to have one, it's mandatory.
D-Nite, my entry hazard abuser, and a fantastic one at that because of its unique immunities/resistences.
Overview:
Archeops @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Brave Bird
- Earthquake
- Close Combat
Archeops, as previously mentioned, is one of my all time favorite Pokemon, and I loved to include it. It fit what I needed for Sand Stream starter, fast enough to outspeed Positive Natured 31/252 Deoxys-S 100% of the time (just for calcs, it reaches 525, while Deo only reaches 504). This is a huge feat to me, because 252 Atk Archeops Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Deoxys-S: 175-207 (57.56 - 68.09%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and weather. And if it does switch in, I hit the Brave Bird, then proceed to outspeed, then the opponent is in for a treat. It's moves get unresisted coverage and almost supereffective on everything!
