The Team






With the drop of Crawdaunt down to UU, UU is becoming a tier looming with threats. Set up mons like Feraligatr, Suicune, Reuniclus, and the newest member Crawdaunt every team should come prepared to face these A and S class threats. With the focus on the majority of water threats in the tier I thought of using both Heliolisk and M-Sceptile. Long story short Heliolisk is whack so the one left standing is M-Sceptile whom I built around.
Team: http://pastebin.com/2fPUQxyZ

Sceptile-Mega @ Sceptilite
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Dragon Pulse
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power [Fire]
M-Sceptile is a powerful mon in the tier demolishing Vaporeon and Suicune as well as taking an Aqua Jet from both Feraligatr and Crawdaunt. The ev's are standard maxing out on Speed and Sp.Atk for maximum performance. I am running HP Fire over Focus Miss cause I don't like missing. Leaf storm and D-Pulse for stab and Giga drain as a secondary grass stab without the drawbacks of -2 Sp.Atk.

Sharpedo @ Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Aqua Jet
- Waterfall
- Crunch
UU has plenty specially defensive mons such as Umbreon, Blissey, Florges, Porygon2, and Snorlax who can eat up a Leaf storm and just rest it off. UU is also full of scarf users like Darmanitan, Mienshao, Infernape, as well as Aerodactyl who can revenge kill M-Sceptile. To deal with these I decided regular Sharpedo would do the job decently. It was also there cause it's f*cking cool tbh. I know there are better ways to handle these mons but I wanted Sharpedo cause it's much cooler but unfortunately I have to run Aqua jet do so. But otherwise Sharpedo and M-Sceptile are my core.

Swampert @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP / 16 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Scald
- Earthquake
- Roar
I decided to add Swampert onto the team to help take on things like Darmanitan so I wouldn't always had to rely on Sharpedo to pick them off. Swampert also helps deal with M-Beedrill as well as M-Aerodactyl which threatens M-Sceptile. The set is a Smogon suggested set with Roar to shuffle the opponent's team and as a back up plan against set up mons i.e. Reuniclus.

Florges @ Leftovers
Ability: Flower Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 224 Def / 32 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Protect
- Wish
- Aromatherapy
- Moonblast
After Swampert I wanted a specially defensive mon who could take on Hydreigon which threatens all three members of my team if scarf. So I added in Florges to alleviate that. Florges also has a OK synergy with Swampert. With access to Wish Florges can WishPass it onto Swampert while Swampert takes on Fire, Poison, and Steel types Florges cannot face.

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 144 HP / 188 Def / 176 SpD
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Body Slam
- Curse
- Rest
Originally I had Porygon2 on this slot but with the current members in the team I noticed I was very susceptible to stall so I decided to add in CurseLax as a potential win con as well as breaking stall and 1v1 most Calm Minders other than Focus Blast Reuniclus. Snorlax also helps deal with the Nido-Twins which Florges cannot deal on her own. Snorlax is running Earthquake to deal with Doublade since I can potentially lose to it if Swampert goes down or is severely weakened. The ev's are a standard Smogon suggested spread.

Crobat @ Black Sludge
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 120 HP / 176 Atk / 212 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Defog
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Cross Poison
Crobat was added in the last slot for its access to Defog and providing another fighting resist onto the team. This set is a bit customized to take on Florges. 176 ev's allows Crobat to 2HKO Florges after rocks. 212 ev's in speed to outspeed +1 Feraligatr and the rest are thrown in HP.
________________________________________________________________________________________
P.S: The team has no good way to take down a well played M-Aggron and/or other steel types other than scald burns from Swampert or having to resort to Snorlax to beat them 1v1 with Earthquake. The team also struggles a bit from Trick users like Chandelure and Rotom-C. Magneton has a field day with this team Snorlax being the only switch in.
