Hello fellow Competitive Battlers! I bet you heard about the sun having a gravitational pull ever see the scenario in a Battle I call it a Gravity-Sun Team here are the members...
Pretty strange but I have a good system here....
Building Process...
Tosumori (Ninetales) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drought
EVs: 252 HP, 4 SpA, 252 SpD
Nature: Calm
-Roar
-Heat wave
-Sunny Day
-Hypnosis
My Ninetales comes in Second after gravity is applied while gravity is in effect Heat Wave and Hypnosis will land with much more success which is very handy when I need to set Gravity back up after it wears off Roar is used to stop set ups from Volcarona, or other well known setup Pokemon Like Gliscor, Sunny day is just in case a Politoed thinks he can just pop in and rain on my parade but he will be sorely mistaken as Scald hardly even scratches my Ninetales in sunny weather (Barring it wasn't a Critcal hit). Heat wave is Good for picking off those that don't resist it and probably get some burns on Bulkier Pokemon.
Beethoven (Hydreigon) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA, 4 SpD, 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
-Draco Meteor
-Earth Power
-Fire Blast
-Roost
When the Sun is out my Hydreigon can do some damage with a Life orb it can tear down most pokemon that can't resist it's moves and heal himself as well just like a Latios Earth power can 2HKO Zapdos and Probably Rotom Wash with invested Special Defense under gravity and OHKO Rotom Heat. Draco meteor OHKO any dragons my Hydreigon out speeds and Fire Blast does decent damage to Gliscor, Ferrothorn and Scizor.
Molly (Swampert) (F) @ Choice Band
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 172 Hp, 252 Atk, 84 Spe
Nature: Jolly
-Earthquake
-Ice Punch
-Superpower
-Stone Edge
Now here is my Physical attacker Swampert a Choice set that can do some damage able to out speed some slow threats like Ferrothorn and able to cover for some Fire type moves on my opponent's side Like Victini's Searing shot Earthquake is a good STAB able to OHKO Jirachi with no Defense Investment Ice Punch Does impressive Damage To Dragonite as well as Conkeldurr Stone Edge is for Gyarados and Salamence that attempts to set up just incase I am lock into a move Super Power puts a dent in Ferrothorn and 2HKO any that can't resist
Jiza (Sableye) (F) @ Leftovers
Traits: Prankster
EVs: 252 Hp, 4 Atk, 252 Def
Nature: Impish
-Gravity
-Fake Out
-Captivate
-Taunt
Here is the first of my Gravity users Sableye able to put up Gravity within the first few turns with out a problem thanks to Prankster Fake Out Breaks Focus Sashes and Stop Sweeping Outrage Dragon types. Captivate is just in case I spot a Male Volcorona or Latios attempting to set up after I taunted them since this doesn't have recover I would Use the Lefties or a Berry that heals
Evergreen (Bronzong) @ Shed Shell
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Hp, 168 Def, 88 SpD
Nature: Sassy
-Gravity
-Gyro Ball
-Earthquake
-Hypnosis
This one is My second Gravity user it uses the moment of opportunity to set up the Gravity once gone if the pokemon is still asleep from Hypnosis then I can set up a Second gravity the moment it goes away Tanking hits pretty well so long that it wasn't weak to it I can easily put one up in a flash Gyro Ball is for hitting the Faster Pokemon that try to stop me Earthquake is for event when Gravity is still up and he came in from Roar or Dragon Tail and Hypnosis to put pokemon back to sleep so long that there was only one pokemon that was sleeping.
Scatter (Hitmontop) (M) @ Expert Belt
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk, 4 SpD, 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant
-Fake Out
-Mach Punch
-Close Combat
-Stone Edge
My Hitmontop serves as the late game sweeper with this move set it can deal vicious damage to a few pokemon Close Combat almost always OHKO Lucario or Ferrothorn that try to come back in Mach Punch finishes off Life Orb exhausted Pokemon, Fake out stops Outrage dragons like Dragonite or Haxorus. Stone Edge hit's Enemy for Flying and Fire types (and Volcarona) that try to set up against me.
Honorable Mentions...
Seto (Roserade) (M) @ Blacksludge
Traits: Natrual Cure
EVs: 252 Hp, 120 SpD, 136 Spe
Nature: Calm
-Sleep Powder
-Toxic Spikes
-Sludge Bomb
-Giga Drain
This was an Interesting set I had Planned for this team Under gravity Roserade can set up Sleep powder like a Breloom's Spore and on top of that this Pokemon is the fastest to use Sleep powder so this would have been a Good choice If I could find a Place for it on this team If you think this Pokemon was good I might try to look for a good spot for it to fit when I revise the Team.
June (Gastrodon) (F) @ Life Orb
Traits: Storm Drain
EVs: 124 Hp, 252 SpA, 132 SpD
Nature: Modest
-Hidden Power Grass
-Ice Beam
-Earth Power
-Recover
Under a sun Team this Pokemon has excellent coverage and Could help out my team when Politoed has the Edge in the weather war absorbing Water type moves like Surf, Hydro Pump, and Scald and does a very impressive amount of Damage with Hidden Power Grass on Bulky water types Ice Beam hits Latios with a Good amount of Damage too if boosted at least once by Storm Drain it can 2HKO Latios. Earth Power Hits Rotom Wash if that was to appear in battle and Recover heals off most of the Damage from the orb and from moves that actually damage her.
Wanna Test it?
Well this is my team I must say I put a whole lot of thought into it. If you can tell me what i can do to make this a little better please inform me I'll make some more adjustments and also see how much higher I can make the rank from where it is now.
Pretty strange but I have a good system here....
Building Process...
When I started thinking about it I was just studying the move gravity. The move last as long as manually set up weather effects (Without the Weather Boosting stones) and makes pokemon that use the move Bounce, HJK and Fly unable to do these moves as well as force Flying types and Levitate Pokemon to the ground making Pokemon Like Zapdos and Rotom stop relying on their immunity to give them an edge. Further into my studies I found out that not only does this affect them but it also reduces Evasiveness (I forgot by how much but I believe was 1.66x Boost to accuracy) making moves with between 70% and 80% accuracy moves land much more easily So I wanted to exploit that as well.
It was then, that I thought why not use weather in conjunction to Gravity Sun came into my head there and I think this was the best Idea I have ever came up with Ninetales is, of course perfect for setting up Sun weather to make Fire types moves i.e. Fire Blast, and Overheat land with percision. The idea comes together starting from this Fox.
My next thought at that moment "Use a pokemon that exploits this perfectly" Nidoking fit like a puzzle and with Sheer Force he would decimate the opposition. or so I thought...
I also was reminded of how bad I am at weather wars and thought what if I screw up I can't have two pokemon vulnerable to water moves or Earthquakes (and beside Gravity works on my end as well so no Air Balloon) that would suck I chose to replace Sheer Force Nidoking with Moxie Salamence he grows stronger as he KO's More pokemon.
Now with a Physical sweeper I need someone to apply the gravity Sableye Is a very good Choice at doing this Gravity with Prankster making setting up the move a breeze and with no Weakness It fits without compromising my teams weaknesses but I know that one Gravity user is not enough to hold my team together so I searched for another on the off chance my Sableye were to bite the dust.
Many different choices were present Metagross, Musharna, Ferrothorn, Dusclops, Chansey and Blissey but the one that caught my eye was Bronzong, an excellent choice to Block Conkeldurr, Lucario and other powerful fighting types that would appear not to mention he can absorb a devastating dragon type move if they were to appear.
Now with 2 gravity users I needed a Special attacker to hit them while they trying to think of a way to counter I thought Roserade and decided to try that but I didn't want a Fire type like Volcarona ruining my day so I sought a water type if it was present Gastrodon was the Perfect choice able to heal itself immune to water thanks to Storm Drain and a Last Trump card in case I lose a weather war
Now I needed a late game sweeper to finish the job on the weakened pokemon that were left after battling hard Hitmontop fit the discription nicely with Fake Out and Mach Punch he could rip apart the remaining opponents given they don't resist his moves
When my team entered it's final phase I thought I needed Dragon special attacker at first Latios Came to mind but then I remember Latios had no way to exploit ground type vulnerable Pokemon outside of Earthquake which is not Latios's cup of tea but Hydreigon could abuse that very nicely and I couldn't have two special attackers so Gastrodon had to go too but it was not forgotten swampert could use Earthquake and with Proper motivation could be very effective as dealing some damage.
With my team set I tried it out and Made a few tweaks to make sure it hold the team together nicely and I was quite impressed by the results.
