Zapdos @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 74 HP/4 Atk/252 SAtk/180 SDef
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- U-turn
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Drill Peck
This is my lead, I originally was gonna draw blissey out, but I changed my tyranitar style for some odd reason... So I'm either going to change the Tyranitar or maybe even Zapdosy itself. Whether you like it or not, Zapdos is a great lead that can scout/deal descent damage. I also am wondering what you guys think on whether scarf/ a more bulkier zapdos. I would be very interested in what you guys have to say on that fact after you ready my whole team to determine what would fit better. I might consider changing this also if you guys think my Tyranitar is worth keeping its "style" or maybe switch back to a boah or w/e you want to throw at me.
Suicune @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Surf
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Calm Mind
- Rest
This is one of my main more bulky sweepers who also acts as my much needed gyarados counter. Hidden Power Electric is a staple on here even though I like the Ice Beam coverage for garchomp. Basically the standard calm mind then rest etc. This can also take blissey and company even if they decide to use toxic due to rest. This can still survive a couple grass knots even though I poored all the ev's into defense.
Tentacruel (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 204 HP/36 Spd/96 SAtk/172 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
This is ze beast of the bulky rapid spinners. He applies the much needed rapid spin to a art. I love the ability of liquid ooze since sooooo many people are using toxic spikes these days. Also, a toxic spikes of my own are always welcome to send right back at the opponent. I often times find myself stalling out walls and stuff with suicune after double layers of t-spikes are out with rest etc. So I'm beginning to love this guy = first time I've ever used it.
Tyranitar (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk/24 Spd/232 SAtk
Brave nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Fire Blast
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake
- Crunch
This is the ultimate wall breaker! Tyranitar has been very successful in regards to breaking the walls down. I often times find myself using crunch as a base start of point only to find them switching to skarmory/bronzong/ and well you get the point. At that point they are led to believe it is a choice band veriant. Obviously my next choice is to fire blast. This thing on the other hand doesn't last very long and I am considering switching back to a Boah with flamethrower and what not.
Gliscor (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Stealth Rock
- Roost
My main lucario and heracross counter right here. I am also able to set up the stealth rock also after he sends in heracross and lucario. At this point I'm loving the stealth rock + toxic spike damage that he is encurring leading me to have a distinct advantage. This also is my garchomp counter to a certain degree as it basically "sacrafices" itself to kill garchomp in a sense. Although whether or not he can take out the garchomp, lucario can just clean up the mess with extremespeed.
Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Extremespeed
- Close Combat
- Swords Dance
- Crunch
I have tried to use hp ice on this guy, but I didn't really find myself using it that often so I decided to resort back to crunch. I have contemplated in my mind over and over again whether or not to switch lucario to like lets say Mop Heracross, but never really got around to testing it out. I would really like to hear your guys oppinions on this, or whether even you think it should be neither Mop heracross or lucario. Honestly, lucario hasn't been "astounding" for me since most people have counters to this guy anyways.
Obviously I have stated a lot of key facts into my team so PLEASE read the whole thread and don't just skim through. I have stated why each member of my team is valuable/invaluable. Feel free to suggest taking out complete pokemon, but please give reasoning behind why you would suggest this. This is a brief explenation of my whole team so I hope I described it to you in a good eneough detail where you can rate my team.
~ Thanks in advance.
